That was in the 1890s. The War of the Regulation in NC happened just prior to the Revolutionary War. It was the warmup act, so to speak.

I’m descended from NC Regulators several different ways. Ninian Hamilton was my sixth great grandfather, he was quite the colorful old Scot. Another fifth great was bound out to Captain Benjamin Merrill after his mother and he were kidnapped by Cherokee and his father, my fourth great, was killed while on a mission to rescue them. That rescue mission was led by Gen. Hugh Waddell.
