Hugh McAden (circa 1730-20 January 1781) was a Presbyterian minister born in Pennsylvania. He graduated from the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University) in 1753; he received a master's degree in 1756. McAden also studied theology with John Blair at Fagg's Manor in Chester County, Pa., and was licensed in 1755 by the New Castle Presbytery, which sent him south as a missionary in 1755. During his stay in the South, he kept a journal. The original journal has been lost, but lengthy excerpts appear in William Henry Foote's Sketches of North Carolina (1846). McAden spent about two months in Virginia before he entered North Carolina, near the site of modern Milton in Caswell County. He visited the centers of nearly all of the early Presbyterian congregations during the nine months he spent in the colony. After his ordination in 1757 by the New Castle Presbytery, McAden returned to North Carolina to accept calls from the Duplin County congregations. His pastorate covered most of present-day Duplin, Pender, and New Hanover counties. In 1759, McAden joined the Hanover Presbytery in Virginia from which he was frequently assigned to preach at churches in North Carolina. In 1762, he married Catherine Scott of Lunenburg County, Va. He was buried at Red House Church in Caswell County, N.C. Two weeks after his death, a detachment of Lord Cornwallis's army occupied the church building and burned his library and papers. The Hugh McAden biography is a manuscript volume containing information collected by an unknown author from McAden's descendants. Included is information pertaining to the Farley, Dodson, Kersey, McMurray, and Yarbrough families. [Adapted from the entry by George W. Troxler in the Dictionary of North Carolina Biography, volume 4 (1991).]

Walters, who died two years later leaving an infant daughter. In 1860, he married Martha Frances Groom of Wentworth, N.C., who also gave birth to a daughter. An active Methodist, John Stephens was an agent for the American Bible and Tract Society for about a year. In 1866, Stephens moved to Yanceyville, N.C., where he served as an agent of the Freedmen's Bureau and became an active member of the Union League and the Republican Party. In 1868, he was elected to the state Senate. These activities led to him being socially ostracized and expelled from the Methodist Church. On 21 May 1870, while observing a Democratic Party county convention at the courthouse, he was lured away from the proceedings by Frank Wiley, a former Democratic sheriff, and murdered by Wiley and members of the Ku Klux Klan. Details of the murder were not revealed for 65 years, but the involvement of the Ku Klux Klan was suspected from the beginning. It was in response to this crime that Governor William W. Holden called out the militia under Colonel George W. Kirk (the Kirk-Holden War). Materials are chiefly newspaper clippings about the life and death of John Walter Stephens and the involvement of the Ku Klux Klan in his murder. There is also a videotape titled "The Murder of John Stephens" (a Piedmont Community College FVPT Production). [Adapted from the entry by Allen W. Trelease in the Dictionary of North Carolina Biography, volume 4 (1991).]
