[cONTINOEt) FROM LAST Wltl K ] Co). John Thomas, sr., and Jolin Thotnft?, jr., father and 6on, settled on South Tyger, fifteen miles above the Court llouso, on a place which belonged to Chief Justice O'Ni'iil at liia death. TIipv com. uiuiidcd successively the same gallant regiment in the war, and both established high characters for courage, patriotism and military skill. After the close of the war, Jolm Thomas, sr., tilled the office ot ordinaly for Greenville District several yoars, and John Thomas, jr., became judge of the county court. Their descendants have all gone West, and have prospered. Col. llarry Wood settled above the Court House on the Saluda.? It might well be said of birn, that lie was a hero of romance. High toned, open and manly, yet revenge was 6\vcet. Ilia father, old Col. Wood, was killed by a marauding band of tories in Spartanburg, and young Uarfy vowed before higli lieu* en at the grave of bis father, that he would never rest in peace till he had slain the last oiiq of his father's murderers. This vow he kept and fulfilled. i\A ui:..~ ..i j ^ Kjyji. -nan 1L.UI IU bClllCU Oil IMC Soutu fork of Saluda, und was for many years a State Senator and member of Congress, ile was a man ot great intelligence, and the most 6uccc6sfu 1 electioneer ever known in bis Congressional Dis trict. lie accumulated a large fortune, and lett a great number of descendants who are all highly respectable, and still reside in his old Congressional District. Chancellor Thompson was likewbo one of tho early settlers of Greenville.? lie came troin Virginia, ui d was elected Solicitor and Ghanccl'or of South Carolina, lie was a remarkably line looking gentleman, uud had a head which indicated the highest order of tulents. lie tilled the otlice of Chancellor for twenty live or thirty years. Mr. James Harrison, lived ten or lifteen miles below the village, on the Euoree liiver, and was a gentleman of the old school. lie married the sister of General Wade Hampton, and litis left nupiermis descendant-, of the highest respectability in Greenville and Pendleton. Tie was a successful farmer, and left a large property. Col. Lemuel J. Allston moved into Greenville from North Carolina, and settled in what became afterwards the village. He had purchased a large body of lands around him, before the county 6eat was located on them. This made him a man of great wealth, lie was for many years a member of Congress, and a man of great taste and improvement. Ile afterwards sold his lands to Vardry McBee, Esq., and moved to Alabama.? General John illasaingatnc was a high toned gentleman, and lived near the village. lie was a man of great personal popularity, and for many years a member of the Legislature. Many of his descendants fll'ft Still livilior in ttoni'illo fSpai tanbnrg mid f'endlotou, and are all highly respectable. Governor Middleton purcbnsod the farm now owned by Doctor Stono and others. early in the prcsxuU century, ana built the house in which Mrs. Stone is living near the city of Greenville, and lived in ,the District till ho was appointed Minister to Russia. Ho then sold I)is lands and slaves to Washington Earle. Governor Joseph A listen, the son in-law of Aaron Burr, Vice President of the United States, came to Greenville about the same time, and purchased lands on the Pendleton road where his nieces, the Mis3es Allston's now reside. lie built a very handsome house which was burned down thirty or forty years since- Mrs. Allston, who was a moat beautiful, accomplished and fascinating woman, was lost on board of a vossel f)ing from Charleston to Now ork, to* meet hep father attor is return from his e^ijg ' in Europe. Just before this 1 ead ev?ntj Governor Allston had ( Iqpt his mqst prQiftisina ton. and only ohilcf. Jri f short lime after- , -ward* he himself departed this life. The high character ot these two Governors, Middletoh and ' Allston, is too well known for fnr- 1 ther comment. Governor Middle- < , ? ' ? * ton, after his return from Russia, catnc to Greemille, and was elected a member ot tho State convention in 1832. Philemon Bradford settled on Saluda River, and was, for a number of vears, a member of the Legislature. He was a very sensible, but plain, honest, blunt man. In addressing the speaker on some occasion, he said " lie could nbt tell what he knew, but his colleague, Judge Edwards could tell all lie knew and more too." 11 is farm is now in tho possession of William Mayfield, and formerly belonged to David Tlly the, Esq. Ilia descendants have ali moved off. Judge El war da of the county court lived on Tyger, and was for a great many years a representative in the Legislature, lie lived to be a very old man, and has left numerous descendants and relatives in this county. James KilgO.e was a man of marked character, and represented his District in the Legislature for several years. He eeuled below the Court llousc fourteen or fifteen miles, on the farm which descended to his son, Josiah Kilgorc, once survovorgen oral of the State. Caul.iiu William Y??y..ig, and his brother, John -oii'-.g, Esq., wero gallant 6oldiers nnd officers of the Revolution, and settled four or five miles above the village. McLnnuhan, who married the sister of chief Justice Marshal, came from Virginia, nnd settled a few miles west of the county scat. R >binson. who was the father-inlaw of Col. Elias Earle, lived on thp farm now owned by his great grandson. t^amupl AfpT.m??iiin?? llo whs ft man of large property und moved to the West. Esquire Salmon lived on the Saluda where Williams Cox now lives, und was a magistrate and county surveyor all. his life. W illiam Goodlett resided in the same neighborhood, and had beeii a gallant and active whig in the Revolution. John Foster moved from Viiginia, and settled on the thico forks of Saludn. Re was n Lieutenant at the sicgo of Augusta, and survived the Revolutionary only a lew years, leaving a largo lamily, who all moved WesteJ^cept two. Maj Tims. Renson settled the upper part of the Disttiot, and OO f.,,l ? C* II ? - it n 1IO iui IliniiJ' ? Vill B U Ot'llitilir 111 U16 S*ate Legislature. Col. Thruston was one of the earliest settlers in Greenville, and raised a Urge family. Sainnel Townes came to Greenville from Virginia in 1790, when he was only eighteen years <>ld, and settled three or four miles from the Court House, where his family lived for many years.? There are many, very many other* of the early settlers ot Greenville, who were prominent citizens, and by their industry and energy accumulated considerable pruperty, Those already mentioned are only specimens ot the character and respectability of the class of settlers who first came to Greenville. Samuel Murphy, who was born in Greenville, January 1801, and whose father, Solomon Murphy, moved from Virginia about tlio year 1795, sayr "mit the house of old Paris, the first building pver {>ut up in Grccnvillo, stood just jack of the shop now occupied by Wilsou Cook, and that the old house near Dr. Irvine's spring, was erected by Roberts. He informs mc that bis mother, who was a daughter ot Captain Gunn, and came to Greenville shortly after the Revolutionary war, pointed out to him the debris of th$ chimney belonging to the old Paris house This location is probably orrcct as it was convenient to the mill which Paris built where McBee's flouring mills now 6tands. The mill was destroyed by the whiga, and Paris made his escape to Charleston. The irons and stones were, however, thrown into the river tor concealment by the Indians friendly to Paris before he fled the country. The maternal grandfather of Samuel Murphy, was Capt. Gunn, who was the jailor when Matley took Bates out of jail and shot him, as has been already sta*ed. Capt. Gnnn was tlio father of Mrs. Col. Jesse Carter, Mrs. Col. Andrew Hamilton, and the grandfather of the author of l( Gunn's Medical Practice," a book which atone time bad great popularity. Col. Carter waa a gentleman of high character and business talents. For many years be was clerk of the county court tor Greenville, and a great favorite with the peoplo. lie | lived in a log house where William Ilirnie's house now stands, and which formerly hfi'onged to judge E^rle 'and Ool. Coleman. " poj. Garland Walker married his plaest daughter Ilis widow" afterwards married Mr. H^|piu)<lp, and was tko mother of ^Lrs. <|ohn Watson by this marriage. When Samuel Murphy first knew the village of Greenville, there were wly seven or eight families living 1 ' - ih it. Washington Earle was clerk of the court, and lived where Beattie's store honse now stands. Mr. Ooodlett lived in the old house now occupied by Wilson Cook as a shop, and wlroh he af~ tcrwnrds sold to Captain Cleve land. Marshal Ayers lived where Sullivans store is. Captain Qunn had sold the lot now owned by Col. lloke's estate ton man by the name of Stringer, who aftorwards sold to Mrs. Wickliffe, the mother of Captain William Wicklifle, and she kept a hotel there for a num ber ot years. Col. "Lemuel J. Allston lived on tho hill at tho head of Avcnuo street, in the house now owned by Captain Westdeld.? Col. Robert Anderson, for many years cleik of the House of Representatives of South Carolina, lived in a 1 >g house where Ferguson & Miller now ro-ide,next to the old Court House.? Chancellor Thompson lived on the hill where Tench Cox re.-i JUs, and bad sold his farm, now owned by Col. Irvine, to Col. William Tor.ey. Some one lived ou the Corner of the Mantdon House lot. Such was the city of Greenville in the childhood of Samuel Murphy, after more than twenty years growth. Capl. Cleveland moved here about this time and opened a store iu partnership with Irvine ?fc Tattoo. Murphy says the 6rsl calico dresses he ever saw were purchased by his mother and auot of Captain Cleveland. In those days the wives and daughters of the roost res pectahle citizens dressed jn homespun of their ow n manufacture. Id looking over the records of the circuit court in 1793, I saw the presentment of the Grand Jury, drawn by tiie Hon. Lemuel J. Alletou, foreman, In this presentment it is stated that in 1786, there were only f??rty families in the Districts ot Pendleton and Greenville, and tlmt then (1793) the census showed a population of twenty thousand. This was a wonderful increase in the course of seven years- In tho same paper it is stated that only twenty families lived it* Pendleton in 1786, and in 1793 the population of the District was thirteen thousand. It is remarkable that sh the prominent men mentioned were settlers in tho country, and none of them in the village. Every one came into the District to get lands, cjear t em and cultivate thepi-? Pew indeed thought of selling goods or keeping stores. Perhaps the first store in Greenville Dis^ trict, was that of Nathaniel and Benjamin ferry, located eight iniles above the Court House, in 1785. McBeth at a later period had a store on tho Pendleton road, four miles from the county seat, where ther$ was a Pftir of rape paths, and a good deal of sport carried on. I am not aware that there was any store in the village, if village it could be called, for scveral years after the establish * ^ r ?l. ? r? - int-m ui uiu v?ouniy sear, jjul as lite settlers begau to make money, they began to want some of the luxuries of civilization. At an parly period in the history of oar city, Captain Cleveland, Col. Tonev ana Mr. Goodlett, were merchandising in it, and the two first named gentlemen made fortunes by their stores. They both moved here from North Carolina, from whence most of the present citizens have since come. The little house on Main street in front of the Mansion House, was built by David Goodlett, and afterwards purchased by Captain Jeremiah Cleveland. For many yoars he resided in it with his family and kept a hotel. He had visitors staying with him in the summer season from the lower part of the State and from Georgia. JL'bero was a house on the opjiopite side of the street in which inosf of his boarders lodged. No one would vbi mis iiuutc, now occupied by Wilson Cook, as a shop, as having been once 44 the Hotel" of Greenville and tbe mansion of the wealthiest citizen. Tbe pon? trast between this ancient village hotel and the palatial Mansion House standing opposite each others, is very striking, gnd marks the progress of oar city. This humble building is the only one left standing which was erected in the pastcenury. The Greenville academies were built in 1820, and this bad a very salutary influence on the prosper- 1 ity of the village. A great inany , young persons were sent here to go to school, and parents moved Into the village for the porpose of educating their children. The Western travel and stock driving, , after the State road was oompleted, 1 together witfj tb? visjtors in the t summer frojij be|bw, ipid the scad* t em lea Increased and improved our hotels, boarding houses and stores. Dr. John Crittenden built a hotel , _l .t . -m *? ? --- 1 w it ore ui* iwra ox JlQWI. Bnlll* | van now stand*; in a year or two , afterward* Captain Cleveland pat l > np the large brick building on the next square altove. Soon afterwards in 1823, Ool. William Toncy built the Mansion IJonse. Those three houses offered the very best accommodations to travelers and visitors. Col. Benajah Dunham caine here about this time and set up a blacksmith shop and tin factory. The McDee mills,iu the village were eularged and greatly improved. Till# tmnnlifnl "c n ? < nia^c ui vireen- | villo, now dubbed a city by act of the Legislature, has undergone great changes since I came here to go to school in 1823, almost a half contury ago. Tlie entire popula ation of the place has changed.? There are only tour person* living in the city at this time, who res id ed hero then. They are Peter CauLlc, Samuel Murphy, Mrs. Durtiham and Airs. Eliza* Pool.? Then we had a population of three or four hundred, and now as many thousand. With this increase of population and chango of citizens, has come a radical change in the prosperity, manners, habits and customs ot the city. The limits of the village did not then extend more than two or three hundred yards in any direction froiu the Court House. Now the houses are pretty closely built for a mile and a quarter in every direction. The city is two miles and a bait through on all the streets. In ?l<t. en tunes t:?eve not a practicing physician in tlio town and only two in tlio District. Indeed I hnvQ been etcdibly informed that there never was a practicing physician settled in the District till 1^15! more than thirty years after tho District was first settlled. Dr. Richard Harrison was the first physician who had entQ prise and boldness enough to settle in the District for the purpose of practi cing medicine. No body was sick, and hundreds have told pie that they never took a dose of medicine in their lives. It is true and canpot be disputed* that Doctors and lawyers create a great deal of business in their respective professions. In courts about one halt of the business results in nonsuit or verdict for defeudant, and should never have been brought. On tho other hand, it is said that doctors kill aboi^t as many they cure. A man who takes medicine once is apt to have to take it again, and a client who has had one 6uit is more likely to have another. [cOMTtNUKp NEXT WEE# ] A Brief History of Long Branch Long Branch takes its name from a brook, a branch of t tie Shrewsbury river. In the year 1793 the place was inhabited' bv Inditing, And was styled fund's End. About that tiinc f??nr men, named respectively barker, 31o~ cum, Warded and Hewlett came lrom Rhode Island and establish ed a settlement there. A considerable portion of the land which they ob ained continued in the posseesion of th? &k>cums until thirty years ago, and some of the land warrnnts are Btill in existence ? A few years later other hardy settlers from neighboring p ovinces bought land in Long Brunch at twenty shillings an gprp, built dwellings and occupied themselves with farming and fishing. It upw embiapes a popnlutiup of four thousand five hundred. The Liberty Pole is the name given to the village, from a flag staff erected there during the war of 1812, whijp the coast portions upon which the cottages and hotels are located, is known as the Shore, fronting the ocean.
