MURDER OF MAXWKI.L.
Ill I he early history of Greenvillo,
there wits a mysterious trage
tly which in after years it became
my duty to investigate pretty tally.
Captain Maxwell, the father of
John and Robert Maxwell, of Pendleion,
was assassinated on his way
to atleiid the circuit court sitting
at old Pickeiisviile. lie was a
gentleman of high character, the
sun-in law ot General Robert Anderson,
and Sheriff ot Washington
County, which then composed the
Counties now known as Greenville,
Anderson, Pickens aud Oconee.?
The ussnseins had inade blinds of
bushes ou either side of the road,
>1 ? ? -
ou I in 1<> i,ui ii;i:n I iiioiliHUiVl'B ITUU1 0
ohecrvaliou. It was well known ?
Iliat Captain Maxwell would have 1
to paaa the place on hid way to c
court. He was shot and killed not ]
far from life residence in the lower I
part of Greenville. This ww to- f
wards the close of the last cen- s
turv. 1
Twenty years ago a commission \
was sent me from Mobile, to ex- t
amine a great number of witnesses t
living in Abbeville, Anderson, t
Pickens and Greenville. A suit t
had been brought in the court ut Mo t
bile, involving a very large property?several
hundred thousand dol c
bus?and morever, the legitimacy e
of one of the fi.*V families of the 1t
city. Judge Campbell, of the Su- i
prcme Court of the United States, t
then at the bar, was counsel for I
one of the parties, and Col. Phil- ?
ips, formerly of South Carolina, c
and uftertt-aritaitiii,....-f........re..-.-.. *
. ... ..?v iyui tuvi ui gcuru* I
tarv Stanton, in Washington City, t
was of counsel for the other party, i
Many other lawyers were likewise t
employed in the case. A woman 1
by the name of Cynthia Presley, ?
the illegitimate daughter of Dr. t
Kennedy, who was prosecuted for o
the murder of Captain Maxwell, a
attempted to establish in court the I;
marriage of her mother Sallie e
Presley with Dr. Kennedy, whilst s
he resided in Greenville District, li
and before his marriage to a Spun e
ish lady in the City of Mobile, ?
whilst the City belonged to the I
crown of Spain. A forged cerlifi I
cato of the Rev. Mr. Tarrant, a u
Baptist clerg} inan, was produced, |
cei tifying that the marriage cere r
tnony was )>ertormcd by him in t
bis ministerial capacity on Grove s
Creek, Greenville,South Our',lino. (
There was a good deal of perjury <3
and subornation of perjury in the v
case. The marriage was alleged f
to havo taken place in 1793, 1 t
think. t
The plaintiff made such a 6trong v
showing that the children of Dr. 6
Kennedy found it necessary to '
prove by all those who were living jJ
and had known Dr. Kennedy, that "
such a marriage was never heard ?
of by them, and that it was alto n
gather improbable a?.d absurd
from the different social positions ?
ot the parties. In this way I learn- a
ed all about the circumstances and a
suspicions of the murder ns well ''
as of the pretended marriage. In 11
tho hands of n writer of fiction, n }'
ino6t thrilling story could be made 11
out ot the facts and circumstances, t(
as testified to trie under oath, A
by many of the most respectable e<
citizens in the upper country. ?
Captain Maxwell and Dr. Ken u
nedy were both gentlemen ot high
social position, neighbors, and intimate
friends for several years.? *They
were incn of education, tal ^
cuts and property, and had the ^
confidence, esteem and affection
:>f all who knew them. They had ^
x difference about a small bill (|
which Dr. Kennedy bad rendered
against the Captain. 1 hey were ^
both gentlemen of high temper,
and strong impulse, and h bitter r
feud grow up between them from ^
this trifling circumstance. Caplain
Maxwell bad been travelling .
in Virginia and stopped at a bouse
where there were others staying all
night. In the morning he made
an early start, and through a mis- j
take to.?k down a watch which he f)
inpposed to be bis own, but which
was of less value than bis. The
itlier traveler discovered the mis
take, and sent a messenger after q
l:im with bis watch and made the v
?Xf?_lulM?ro R.unn VI.
---- ?*? ~ ~ h
zinia who hud heard of ttie cir- g
cutnstntice told the story to the halt ^
brother of Dr. Kennedy, greatly
lo his prejudice ot Captain Max- ^
well. The Dr. repeated tho story .
its he had heard it from his half
brother, and it was told again by ^
others. The Captuhi immediately (
brought action of slander against ?
Dr. Kennedy, his half brother,
Col. Elis.s Etnle, Mr. Hobinson
and others who had repeated the Y
dander. He sent commissions to c
Virginia and proved most satisfae- ^
torily to every one and Dr. Kenticdy
himsell tlic utter falsity of g
lie charge. The actions were all
compromised,except those brought j(
tgainst Dr. Kennedy and his half j
brother. The Dr. went to Cap- (.j
uin Maxwell and expressed him 8t
iclf entirely satisfied, and asked ^
or the action against himself to be a
ibandoned also. The Captain told
tim in reply that fie had malig<*
lantly repeated the slander on sov- ^
iral occasions and the action should ^
jo on. High words ensued and ^
brents were made by Dr. Keune ^
ly. The case was continued sov- oi
mil court*, ami tin ally Dr. Konne "j1,
iy being afraid ot the result,
noved t<> Georgia where he maried
a lady of fortune and great
espectability. ^
Tho action at length was ready jj
or trial, and Captain Maxwell was er
in hia way to attend court when t,
ie? was shot as 1 have already (j
lated. lie lingered several days, b,
ind in the uieantime, his lawyers j,"

;m ployed General Blair who wot

iines, and Ben. Sturrett, n hug*
nan of gigantic strength, to go U
lie village (Elbert or Washiugtoi
think,) and arrest Dr. Kennedy
ind bring liiiu to Greenville foi
rial. Blair and Starred stopped
ne night at a hotel in the village,
lid Blair was taken very 6udden
y ill as he pretended, and enquird
for a doctor. Kennedy was
cut for. In the meantime their
torses were saddled. Blair cover
d up in bed with boots, sour, and

Kennedy came into the rooin and
is ho approached the bed of hit
latient lie was pinioned l>y Star
ett and quietly secured. They
nountcd hiin on a horse, and in
tead of making directly for South
Carolina, tbey went in an opposite
lirection. Very 60ou tlio village
ras aroused, and Kenucdy't
riends started in pursuit. Bat
ho}' traveled rapidly in one direc
ion, whilst Blair with h 8 prisoner
nis going a different course. Their
trategem was successful, and they
jdgea their prisoner in Old Camridge
jail. They had, however,
eaten and abused him very much
n the road to extort confession
ltd succeeded. On the trial his lawera
had his coat and shirt taken
ft* to expire to the jury his bruises
nd wounds. They pioved an
libi by several persons who saw
litii at boinc the morning of the
uurder. lie was acquitted, and
is wife who had been present durug
all the trial, rusheo to the doc
or and embraced him with tears
nd ecreain. Thero was quite a
cene in court which was very
raphically described to me under
arli by General Garrison, who
'itnessed the trial at l'it'kens
ille.
After the trial was over Dr.
Kennedy spoke of returning home
irough the neighborhood where
e formerly lived, and where the
under had been committed.?
Injur Thomas Benson advised him
ot do so as lie would be in daner.
Enoch 13. Benson, then a lite
boy, the son of Maj ?r Benson,
'as present and heard theconver
lit ion between Kennedy and hid
ither. He told me that he had a
ivid reuieinbrai.ee of the strikig
appearance ot Dr. Kennedy
t the time and hid expression. He
:as dressed in a neat suit of black
loth, with a beautiful small sword
tilt around hid waist. He straightened
himself up and said. 44 Major
letison, I am not at raid to go
here I please."
Sallie Presley, the mother of
lynthia, was then living in Greeni.le,
and never pretended to have
ecu married to Dr. Kenned}'.?
be was a beautiful, though a very
ad woman, and humble in eiruiuBtnucca.
Her daughter grew
p to be as bad as her mother, and
i the course of my examination
f witnesses, I came across a
auglitcr of this Gvnthia, living in
)conee County, who disclosed to tne
lie whole conspiracy of her moth
r and others to prove that Iter
randtnothcr was man ied to Dr.
Cennedy. This information 1
otniuntiicated to Judge Camp
ell and Col. Hamilton, and the
ult was abandoned l>y the oppoite
lawyers.
The wife of Dr. Kennedy died
i Georgia without children, and
e moved to Moi>ilc where he maricd
again as has been ulready
atcd, and had three daughters,
uo of whom married Col. Carter,

i Mr. Earle, the Sheriff, in a high
r degree, and he threatened to put
Cooper's ears in his pocket on

, terribly alarmed. Dot I think
- Mr. Earle became satisfied that his
suspicions of Cooper wcie not well
( founded. At least Cooper did not
lose his ears, and was never prose
cuted for the escape. Many years

some of Dr. Kennedy's friends.?
Cut public opinion, whether true
or false, was that Maxwell was
slain by Kennedy himself, notwithstanding
his acquittal.

Almost a Kingdom.
The magnitude of one of tbe
many splendid farms which now
dot maav portions of our magnifi
, cent Western domain, is thus
sketched In a correspondent writing
from Peoria, Illinois:
The farm of M. L. Sullivan, of
, Burr Oak, near Chatswortli, Livingstone
County. 111., is not only a
big hut a well managed and profitable
enterprise. The farm is '
eight miles square, containing 40,9
0 0 acres? sixty tour sections
Government survey. It is subdivided
into thirty-two farms of
1,'280 acres each. Each farm has
a captain and first and second
lieutenant, all under control of a
commander-in chief, its owner,
and Brigadier General, J. M. Miner.
There arc 15.00 acres under 1
the plow, over 10,000 of which is '
in Pitt'ii DAOflow I. * ?-1-- 1
, ... w. .Mia uvtiauii, n IIICI1 IUUKS '
finely : this required 1.000 bushels 1
of com for 6ecd this your. The 1
remainder of the farm is used for '
grazing, t-mall grain and grass.? i
There are 250 tniks of hedge '
fence, besides other fences; 150
miles of ditch for draining wet
land; 200 men, and 400 work '
horses and mules are worked on J
this farm. There is employed, I
also, one surveyor, two book keep- '
ers, four blackotniilis and eight i
carpenters. An accurate account
is kept with cacli farm, and with <
each man, horse and mule ? horses i
and mules oing all named or nuin i
bored, and charged with amount |
paid for them and their food, and <
I orudiiud with their labor- There 1
is no more regular or systematic i
| set of hooks kept in any banking
! or manufacturing establishment in
1 the country than Mr. Sullivan's.
The \vh ?le of this land was entered
from Government about twenty
years since by its present owner
at $1,35 per acre. The farm at
this time, with the improvements
made upon it, is worth about $2,~
