Hotchkiss Vertical Water Wheel: Caswell County, North Carolina

 

Hotchkiss Vertical Water Wheel

"With such a deservedly high character, the Subscribers feel justified in offering these Wheels to the Public. They will sell individual or county rights on reasonable terms. They also keep constantly on hand for sale, Pairs of Wheels, (varying in size to suit different heads of water," in this place [Fayetteville], Wilmington, Washington, and Newbern, -- and also for sale by John T. Dodson, Caswell County."

The Greensboro Patriot (Greensboro, NC), 4 April 1846.

These vertical waters wheels powered saws for cutting lumber. John T. Dodson has not been further identified, but may be associated with the Dodson family of Milton, Caswell County, North Carolina. However, the 1850 United States Federal Census shows John Dotson [Dodson], a "Mill Wright," born c. 1808 in Virginia, and living in Guilford County, North Carolina.

Village Hotel in Yanceyville (Caswell County, North Carolina)

Village Hotel in Yanceyville

When this hotel was built is not known. Nor is known its exact physical location in Yanceyville. An early reference I found is an 1846 newspaper advertising its sale:

"Village Hotel, at Yanceyville For Sale"

"On Monday the 29th June next [1846], (being the first day of the Caswell County Court,) by Virtue of a Decree of the Court of Equity, I will sell at public Auction on the premises, in the Town of Yanceyville, the Lot and Tavern recently owned and occupied by the late Capt. Wm. Graves, together with all the appurtenances.

"The main building is large and well arranged, the out houses, numerous and convenient, constituting this one of the most desirable and valuable Hotels in this State. This property is so well and favorably known that a minute discription [sic] of it is deemed needless. A credit of nine months will be given -- bond and security required, and the title retained until the purchase money is paid.

"At the same time and place, and on the same terms I will sell four other Lots in the Town of Yanceyville."

Calvin Graves, Ex'r. and Com'r.

In 1834, the Whig Party was formed in opposition to the policies of President Andrew Jackson (Democratic Party). It lasted only a few years, but did produce four presidents: William Henry Harrison; Zachary Taylor; John Tyler; and Millard Fillmore.

When the Whig Party split up, primarily over the issue of slavery, there was not a direct successor as several parties developed. However, the most important of these was the Republican Party that produced President Abraham Lincoln.
