A brief history of the area

riginally a part of the state of Virginia, the Tri-County area became a part of the state of Carolina when King Charles II of England redefined the state lines in 1665.

Granville County was formed in 1746 and named in honor of John Carteret, the Earl of Granville, who owned the Granville District.

Today, Granville County is bounded by Vance, Wake, Durham and Person counties, in addition to the state of Virginia. The present land area of the county is 530 square miles and the estimated population in 2009 was 57,639. The first county seat was called Granville Court House, but in 1748, the location became unsatisfactor y. It was ordered that the courthouse be located on a branch of the Tar River called Tabbís Creek.

Oxford become the county seat in 1811 and was incorporated in 1816.

Warren County was formed in 1779 and named in honor of Joseph Warren, a soldier

from Massachusetts who fell while fighting at Bunker Hill. Today, the county is bounded by Northhampton, Halifax, Franklin and Vance counties, in addition to the state of Virginia.

The present land area is 428 square miles and the estimated population in 2009 was 19,425.

The act establishing the county specified that the first court be held at the courthouse of Bute. It also provided that subsequent courts were to be held at a place decided upon by the justices of the peace until a courthouse could be erected. Commissioners were named to select a site at the center of the county, purchase land and have the courthouse, prison and the stocks erected.

In 1779, another act was passed establishing Warrenton.

This act provided that the courts were to be held at the home of Thomas Christmas until the courthouse was built. Warrenton is the county seat.

As the area now known as Vance County prospered in the mid-to-late 1800s, the idea of creating a separate county surfaced.

After original legislative efforts to name the new county as “Gilliam” and later as “Dortch” failed, the N.C. General Assembly established Vance County on May 5, 1881.

The act directed the county commissioners to select a site in Henderson for the erection of the courthouse.

Vance County was formed from parts of Granville, Warren and Franklin counties. It was named in honor of Zebulon Baird Vance, a member of Congress, governor of North Carolina and a United States senator.

Vance County is bounded by Warren, Franklin and Granville counties, along with the state of Virginia. The present land area is 244 square miles and the estimated population in 2009 was 43,056. Henderson is the county seat.

Remarkable people with local beginnings

T

he Tri-County area has been home to many notable citizens throughout its history. From town namesakes to military leaders, from educators to government leaders, and from writers to performers, the list of those who have achieved a name and reputation beyond the boundaries of their home counties is impressive.

Gerald Alston

As an R&B enthusiast will attest, the name Gerald Alston has always been synonymous with soul, elegance and sophistication. Born and raised in Henderson, where both his mother and father sang gospel music, Alston was raised on the gospel music he heard in church and at home (his uncle,

Johnny Fields was one of the Five Blind Boys of Alabama). Enroute to a college degree as a pre-med student with a music minor, the fates intervened and Alston left college to join The Manhattans as lead singer.

After 16 years with the group, Alston left to pursue a solo career in 1987. But he continues to sing with The Manhattans. In 2003, the group released its first studio album in 15 years. The group celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2004.

Braxton Bragg

Gen. Braxton Bragg was born in Warren County in 1817. He graduated fifth in the class of 1837 at the U.S. Military Academy and made his name a household word as a Confederate general during

the Civil War. In March 1862, he marched his forces to Corinth, Miss., while in command of the Second Corps of the Confederate Army, where he participated in the movement against Gen. Ulysses S. Grant at Shiloh, Miss. In this famous battle, Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston fell, and Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard succeeded to the general command while Bragg was promoted general and assigned to the command of the Army of the Mississippi. After the evacuation of Corinth, the troops retired to Tupelo, Miss., where Beauregard, on account of illness, turned command over to Bragg and left for Mobile, Ala. Beauregard was relieved of duty and Bragg was appointed as his replacement.

Bragg was then in command of all

of the Confederate forces arrayed against the federal invasion of the area between the Mississippi River and the city of Atlanta. On the last day of 1862 he launched a vicious attack on the Union forces left at Murfreesboro, Tenn., but failed to carry though his success on following days. Later, Bragg was appointed as an advisor to Confederate President Jefferson Davis, his staunch supporter, and maintained an office in Richmond.

Ineffective in the position of quasi commander-in-chief, he was dispatched to North Carolina in the waning days of the war, surrendering near Durham Station in 1865. For a time after the war he served as Alabama’ chief engineer and then settled in Galveston, Texas, where he died in 1876 while

Tiny Broadwick

Between 1908 and 1922, Granville County native and Henderson resident Tiny Broadwick made more than 1,100 parachute jumps from hot air balloon and airplanes, thrilling audiences at fairgrounds all across America and earning herself a place in aviation history. On June 21, 1913, she became the first woman ever to parachute from an airplane, a feat that landed her in the Guinness Book of World Records. She also helped usher in a new era in aviation safety by demonstrating a parachute to the U.S. Army in 1914.

Broadwick is considered one of the founders of modern day sport parachuting. Her parachutes are in the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C., and in the N.C. Museum of History in Raleigh.

Born Georgia Ann Thompson on a Granville County farm in 1893, Tiny was the youngest of seven girls and weighed only three pounds at birth, giving rise to her nickname. Falling crop prices forced the family to move to Henderson, where there was work in a cotton mill. At the age of 15, Georgia saw Charles Broadwick’s World Famous Aeronauts parachute from a hot air balloon at the state fairgrounds in Raleigh.

With her mother’s permission, she soon joined the traveling show, quickly becoming the sweetheart of crowds around the country. For the sake of decorum, Broadwick adopted her as his daughter.

In 1913, pioneering aviator Glenn L. Martin took tiny up in a biplane over Griffith Park in Los Angeles, Calif., where, at a height of 2,000 feet, she released herself from a trap seat, becoming the first woman ever to parachute from an airplane. Her final years were spent traveling to aviation conventions and visiting family

A Guide for Newcomers back in her hometown. She died in 1978.

Charlotte Hawkins Brown

Charlotte Hawkins Brown’s focus on the education of African Americans led her to begin a school near Greensboro in the early 1900s. Born in Henderson, Brown was a northern-educated granddaughter of former slaves.

She returned to her home state as a teacher in 1901, and the following year established the Alice Freeman Palmer Memorial Institute in Sedalia, near Greensboro. The AfricanAmerican school evolved from an agricultural and manual training facility to a fully accredited, nationally recognized preparatory school. More than 1,000 students graduated during Brown’s 50-year presidency. She died in 1961. Ten years and three administrations later, the school closed.

In 1982, Maria Cole, a niece of Brown’s, visited friend and schoolmate Marie Gibbs of Greensboro. Together, they returned to the campus where both had been students and expressed a joint desire for recognition of Brown’s social and educational contributions. They contacted other alumni and met with the N.C. Division of Archives and History to explore the idea of restoring the site of the school.

The Charlotte Hawkins Brown Historical Foundation Inc., a non-profit society, was founded.

In 1985, the foundation and others convinced the state’s legislators to appropriate $400,000 for land acquisition and initial restoration of the Palmer campus. The site is now a memorial to Brown and is linked to the larger themes of African-American education and women’s history in North Carolina and the South. The restored campus contains a dozen 20th century buildings, ranging from houses to dormitories built between the 1920s and the 1960s.

Archeological remains of the Alice Freeman Palmer building, the center of the campus, also survive.

Jason Brown

Jason Brown graduated from Northern Vance High School and is a starting offensive lineman for the St. Louis Rams of the National Football League. Brown was a star center at the University of North Carolina before being drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in the 2005 draft. In 2009, Brown signed a five-year deal with St. Louis, worth $37.5 million, making Brown the highest paid center in the NFL.

Benjamin F. Chavis Jr.

Benjamin Franklin Chavis Jr. has spent his life as an AfricanAmerican civil rights and religious leader. He was born in Oxford in 1948 and was a youth coordinator for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. In the late 70s, he was one of 10 men wrongly imprisoned after leading a Wilmington, N.C., demonstration.

A minister in the United Church of Christ, he headed that denomination’s Commission for Racial Justice (1985-93). In 1993, he was appointed as director of the NAACP. Controversy surrounding his leadership and his handling of sexual harassment and discrimination charges led to his dismissal the following year. In 1994-95, he was the director of the Million Man March in Washington.

In 1997, he became a Black Muslim and changed his surname from Chavis to Muhammad.

Richard Henderson

Richard Henderson was a lawyer and Superior Court judge in North Carolina from 1768-1773 and was also a member of the North Carolina State Legislature.

He was a pioneer and colonizer in North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky, and organized what became known as the Transylvania Land Company,

which made treaties with the Cherokee Indians. Henderson hired Daniel Boone as an advance agent to blaze a trail through the Cumberland Gap. He died in Granville County on Jan. 30, 1785. The town of Henderson was actually named for Richard Henderson’s son, Chief Justice Leonard Henderson, who was an outstanding colonial jurist and native of Henderson.

Ben E. King

Ben E. King, born Benjamin Earl Nelson, is perhaps best known as the singer and co-composer of “Stand by Me,” a U.S. top 10 hit in both 1961 and 1987, and as one of the principal lead singers of the R&B vocal group The Drifters. Nelson was born in Henderson and moved to Harlem at the age of nine. In 1958, he joined a “doo wop” group called The Five Crowns. Later that year, The Drifters’ manager fired the members of the group and replaced them with The Five Crowns, who had performed several engagements with the Drifters. Nelson co-wrote the first hit by the new version of the Drifters, “There Goes My Baby” (1959). He also sang lead, using his birth name, on “Save the Last Dance for Me”, a song written by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman; “Dance With Me;” “This Magic Moment;” “I Count the Tears;” and “Lonely Winds.” King only recorded ten songs with The Drifters.

In 1960, he left The Drifters after failing to gain a salary increase and what he felt to be a fairer share of the group’s royalties. At this point, he assumed the more memorable stage name Ben E. King in preparation for a successful solo career. Remaining on Atlantic Records, King scored his first solo hit with the ballad “Spanish Harlem” (1961). “Stand by Me” was his next recording. Written

Currently, King is active in his charitable foundation, the Stand

By Me Foundation. He has been a resident of Teaneck, N.J., since the late 1960s.

When Jackson read that Warner Brothers was going to produce a 1964 ABC television sitcom, “No Time for Sergeants,� he wrote directly to Jack Warner saying that he was the best choice for the role and asked Warner to examine a certain “Maverick� episode as proof. Ten days later, Jackson was told to come to the studio to test for the role. Jackson won the role over several actors, including the better known Will Hutchins,

A Guide for Newcomers a Warner Brothers Television contract star who formerly played the sympathetic Sugarfoot and also had been in the “No Time for Sergeants� film.

With film roles for “hillbillies� drying up, Jackson began working on-air in radio in 1968 while also acting in a number of motion pictures and doing guest roles in television series. In the 1980s, Jackson worked for a radio station in Las Vegas and briefly played non-country music on KMPC, Los Angeles. In 1992, he appeared in the pilot film, “Casino.�

Jackson died of heart failure.

and as Caiaphas in “Jesus Christ Superstar.� Owens also has an impressive series of television parts to his credit, including guest roles on “Law & Order: Special Victims’ Unit,� “Ed,� “The Education of Max Bickford,� and “Swift Justice.�

After a stint in San Antonio, Texas, as a reporter, Ragan returned in 1941 as the state editor for The News and Observer in Raleigh where, in 1948, he began writing his trademark column, “Southern Accent.” Except for three years of service in the Army, he remained at The News and Observer as executive and managing editor until 1968, when he purchased the Southern Pines weekly newspaper, The Pilot. He continued to publish The Pilot until his death, continuing to write “Southern Accent,” a column which featured poems, anecdotes and literary criticism, along with social commentary. The oldest and longest running column in the United States, it was read in 43

Ragan, the poet, published six collections of verse, two of which were nominated for Pulitzer Prizes, and four works of nonfiction. Ragan was appointed as the state’s Poet Laureate in 1982.

Charlie Rose

Emmy Award-winning television journalist Charlie Rose entered the news field in 1974 when he became the managing editor of the PBS series, “Bill Moyers’ International Report.” He later worked with Moyers on two other series, “Bill Moyers’ Journal” and “USA: People and Politics.” From 1984 to 1990, he anchored “Nightwatch,” the CBS television network’s late-night interview series, and won for himself what some observers have described as a cult following for the in-depth conversations that have since earned him a reputation as “the best interviewer around today.”

Syndicated nationally since 1993, the show currently airs on 215 PBS affiliate stations. In February of 2014, Charlie was honored by the N.C. Press Association as its North Carolinian of the Year.

Rose was born in Henderson in 1942. He earned a law degree from Duke University in 1968, but decided not to pursue a career in law. Rose moved to New York to pursue other business interests, and through his wife, who was doing research for the CBS television program “60 Minutes,” he became friendly with people employed in the broadcasting industry. Rose met Bill Moyers at a social gathering in 1974, and the two felt an instant chemistry.

Within weeks, he began working with Moyers as the managing editor of his PBS series “Bill Moyers’ International Report.”

After Moyers left PBS for CBS, Rose accepted a job as a political correspondent with NBC News.

Rose went from there to Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, where he had the opportunity to launch a talk show called “The Charlie Rose Show.” In 1981, he secured national syndication for the show

artist Ruth Russell Williams was born in 1932 in Townsville. The daughter of sharecroppers, she started painting after her four children left for college. “I got lonesome, so I started dabbling.

I didn’t know I had talent. I was just doing something to entertain myself,� Williams said. She would see her work exhibited numerous times, purchased for nationally televised programs, and one piece, “Outdoor Baptism,� appeared on the cover of the Smithsonian magazine. The majority of Williams’ paintings involve storytelling, with scenes like picking plums and grapes, eating watermelon, playing baseball and gossiping. She single-handedly developed a regional, national and international reputation through an annual art exhibition held at her own home in the Williamsboro community. She died in 2010.

Come out and support the arts

S

arts in the Tri-County area is constantly strengthened by the efforts of local arts councils, societies and associations.

Vance County Arts Council

Vance County has a long tradition of suppor t for all areas of the cultural ar ts. The Vance County Ar ts Council ser ves as an advocate for all the ar ts, ar tists and ar ts organizations in the area.

Through par tnerships with other ar ts organizations, the ar ts council co-sponsors a variety of events and programs, including the Imagination Ar t Station, a summer ar ts program; A Ver y Special Ar t, a program for exceptional children; an annual Youth Ar t Show, which any student in Vance County can enter and compete for prizes; “Holiday

on Vance Square,” the ar ts council’s annual Christmas show held on the first Thursday in December; an annual Black Histor y Month program; and special ar ts programs for the Hispanic community.

The council opened an ar t galler y in downtown Henderson in October 2010 to provide a place to showcase the work of local ar tists. Located at 233 S. Garnett St. in the Rosemyer Corp. building, the galler y is open on weekends and showcases the work of a dif ferent ar tist each month.

The ar ts council also hopes to of fer classes and educational programs at the galler y in the

near future.

The ar ts council is also the local distributing agency for grass-roots funds from the N.C. Ar ts Council. The council distributes state monies to local organizations for ar ts activities. With these funds, as well as local government suppor t, membership fees and fund-raising proceeds, the council sponsors and co-sponsors ar ts activities in the schools and the community.

• Attend ser vices at different churches, listen to the message, meet the members and find out what they like about the church. Attend a fellowship hour, if it is offered, and get
