George Julian Jr was the son of George Julian Sr. and Martha Denton Julian. His grandfather was Rene De St. Julian who came to the United States from France and England around 1700. He married Margaret Bullock in Bermuda on the way to America.
George Jr. was born in Cecil County, Maryland. He married Hannah Madden about 1744 in Frederick County, Virginia. The family left Virginia because of the French and Indian War (1755-1763). The Settlements of Virginia and Pennsylvania were being ravaged by the Indians.
It was during this time that George Julian Jr and his relatives - Peter, Rene, John and Isaac - moved their families to central North Carolina. In 1761, George Jr and his family established their farm on Sandy Creek in the area that is now Randolph County, NC. His uncle, Isaac, set up his farm nearby on a branch of Polecat Creek that flowed into the Deep River.
George Sr. and Martha Julian also joined the family in NC. They left with other family members in 1766 and moved to Mecklenburg County NC. He and Martha bought 300 acres on Kings Creek, which turns into the Broad River, from William and Hannah Reynolds (recorded July 17, 1768 - Mecklenburg County NC Deed Book). They later moved (again with other family members) to SC where George Sr. was killed by Tories.
Peter Julian was married to Mary Bailes. They settled on a Tract from the McCulloh Tract near the boundary of what is now Randolph, Guilford, and Alamance counties on the side of Little Alamance Creek. Peter and Mary had the following children: Peter Jr.(b. 1738), William (b. 1740), Lydia (b 1742), Ruth and Nancy. This Lydia is believed to be Lydia Julian Fields Armfield, who was the mother of Jesse Julian's wife, Sarah Fields Julian. This means that Jesse and Sarah were third cousins, not uncle and niece. Peter sold all of his land and moved to Newberry County, SC. His land was sold on January 18, 1773 to John Emack. (W C Julian Papers, Randolph County NC Library, 1999; Guilford County NC Deed Book A;216)
In 1771, the eastern part of Rowan County and the western portion of Orange County became Guilford County. In 1779, the lower one-third of Guilford became Randolph County, NC. George and his family lived on land that is the present day village of Julian, NC. The Julians were large land owners. Their home was known as the "Red House".
Beginning in 1766, Regulators in Randolph County included the Julian family. The Regulators petitioned the governor of NC to meet to talk about their concerns including being overtaxed. The governor refused. The Battle of Alamance, NC occurred with Peter Julian and George Jr. participating as Regulators. There were other "disagreements" and battles nearby, including the Battle of Guilford Courthouse.
Randolph County NC's first Tax list was compiled in 1779. George Julian and his cousins, Isaac Jr. and Rene, are all listed. George had 133 acres, 8 cattle, 3 horses, and money on hand of 8 shillings. George was listed under the category of "Persons that hath not taken the Oath of Allegiance and returned inventories of their Taxable property." The tax assessor listed their property according his knowledge of their holdings. The tax was 820 pounds in state issued currency. (Randolph County NC Genealogical Journal - Spring 2000)
In 1781, Colonel David Fanning moved to the Randolph County area from Ninety-Six, SC and led a band of Loyalists in raids against the Patriots. One battle that occurred during this time was at the House in the Horseshoe (now a NC state historic site). Fanning fled the area to Nova Scotia in 1783. (Source - Randolph County 1779-1979, p. 36-38).
Also in 1781, General Cornwallis camped at Bell's Mill on the Deep River in part of Randolph County NC not far from the Julian farm following the Battle of Guilford Courthouse. (Source - Randolph County 1779-1979, p. 35).
In December, 1781, George Julian was charged with aiding the British. He appeared at the Randolph County NC Court of Pleas and pledged the Oath of Allegiance to the new Republic. It is thought that if he did aid the British in any way, it was to protect his family and lands. By pledging allegiance to the new Republic, he kept his land. (Source - Randolph County 1779-1979, p. 38)
George Julian Jr was reportedly killed by Tories in 1781 at the end of the Revolutionary War (1776-1781) and is buried on the Ledbetter Farm near Julian, NC.
Who were the Tories in the American Revolution?
The Loyalists were American colonists who remained loyal to the British Crown during the American Revolutionary War. At the time they were often called Tories, Royalists, or King's Men; Patriots called them "persons inimical to the liberties of America".
en.wikipedia.org/...Loyalist_(American_Revolution)
After the Patriots won the war, several Randolph County NC citizens were accused of being Tories. Some even had to forfeit their lands. There is no record if anyone was convicted of the death of George Jr. It was probably just attributed to an act of war.
After George Jr.'s death, Jesse Julian inherited the plantation. (Jesse added to the estate and was listed in the 1820 Randolph County, NC Tax List as having one tract of 320 acres on Sandy Creek and another tract of 212 acres on Sandy Creek). The Julians were very active in their community and highly respected by their neighbors.
It is hard to determine the actual children of George Jr, except for Jesse who inherited his land. Jesse and most of his heirs remained in the Randolph County, NC area so they had actual knowledge of the family history. He is also the only one of George's children that is known to be buried there. William is thought to be the oldest son of George Jr and is thought to be buried in Randolph County, NC. Other members may have left to go to South Carolina with George Sr. or go out west.
The account of William's demise is from www.familysearch.org under Erastus Peter Julian's link to George Julian Jr. Erastus Peter was the son of Robert Julian, a son of Jesse Julian. It also references 2 older brothers than Jesse Julian, who inherited the Sandy Creek property in Randolph County, NC that the family lived on. So there were probably 4 sons in the family.
George Jr.'s wife, Hannah, and their son Jesse Julian and his wife, Sarah Fields Julian helped to start Shiloh Methodist Church in Julian in 1790. Jesse donated land for the church. Hannah, Jesse and his two wives are buried at Shiloh United Methodist Church in Randolph County, NC.
My original sources for what happened to George Jr. were:
1) www.familysearch.org
2) The Ross-McCulloch Family History published in 1973. (Done without a computer - used actual records)
The family history was written by the actual great-granddaughter of Robert Julian - Sarah Esther Ross and Mrs. Lewis (Barbara) Griggs, a local genealogist. Robert Julian was the actual son of Jesse and Sarah Fields Julian. He was the grandson of George Jr and Hannah Madden Julian. Robert is listed in Jesse Julian's will signed in January, 1833 and probated in May, 1846. The original and copy are in the NC State Archives.
The family history contains a section on the actual Julian family. Sarah lived her entire life in Randolph County and Guilford County, NC. She had access to the papers belonging to her Julian relatives. Some of the research for this book is at the Randolph County Public Library in Asheboro, NC. They also have family files. Some information on the internet conflicts with this account, I think, due to the fact every Julian family had at least one George, one Peter and one Isaac. There were several Lydias as well.
Randolph County, NC is the site of the George Jr's Land and the land that Jesse Julian inherited. This account and documentation addresses their family history from the actual relatives and historical records.
