Added to the more romantic labels, there are Urahaw, Wiccacanee, Potecasi, Occoneechee, and Meherrin, suggestive of wigwam days Cutawhiskie. The names of antebellum plantations, of old taverns and race horses, of the hunt, and of primitive peoples are as integral a part of local nomenclature as are Jackson and Rich Square and other little towns spaced through the county every few miles. While the attitudes, modes, and conventions of Northampton do not differ from those of in general, a sense of older cultures, of the grace and revel of other days, of land passing from heir to heir does seem to linger distinctively, giving flavor and piquancy to this section of state. “ ‘The Essential Northampton’ - A Portrait Drawn In Affection”

With love and affection, our own Bernice Kelly Harris, a resident of Seaboard and a writer of distinction, wrote an answer to these questions which was carried in full in the JNews and Observer and reads as follows:

Who lives in Northampton? What kind of people are they? In the summer of 1947 these questions came winging across the Atlantic from a news reporter of the London Times. So, in essence, forgive out human frailties and know that all who have contributed to this book have done it for their love of Northampton County, remembering, “where we go depends upon where we have been”. Just as we have found mistakes and contradictions by early historians of our area, we also know they will plague us. Therefore, we solicit your understanding. Though it be both negative and positive we feel we will accomplish something even if we call to the attention of our citizens just how much history remains to be written. Everyone will not be pleased, but we feel a duty to try to produce a publication that will in a small way increase our awareness of our county's rich heritage. We are keenly aware that people, places, and things have been left out and for this we are sorry, but at the same time we know it is impossible to cover everything. We have pleaded for information from our citizens and we hope that you contacted your representative. It has been called a, “glorified scrap book”.Įach member of the Northampton County Bicentennial Committee has worked hard collecting information from his or her part of the county. We emphatically state that it is not a history of Northampton County and is in no way intended to take the place of one. We would like to emphasize what this book is not as well as what it is. It is our sincere hope that you will with patience and understanding read this short explanation before reading this book.
