Bath: North Carolina's First Town
North Carolina's oldest town, Bath has a rich history in Eastern North Carolina from pre-colonial Native Americans, the one time home of Blackbeard the Pirate, visitors such as Edna Ferber, to world renown Goodwill Ambassador Edmond Harding.

    Plantations and "planters" are mentioned but not one mention of the lives of those who worked on the plantations....

    We had a cottage on Cool Point which is less than a mile from Bath when i was growing up. The place we had was a turn off just before crossing the bridge into Bath. We always went into town before going to the cottage. The last name of the general store was called Swindles before it closed in the eighties. If you are close by Bath is a wonderful town to visit. Great veiws of Bath creek. I basically grew up there in the warm months. Bath will always be a second home for me. Great memories

    There is no clear answer on how Lawson was killed. According to Von Graffenried, his neck may have been slit with his own straight razor, hanged or burned. Lawson is my 7th great grandfather.

    It was probably built on a town thousands of years old. First town?!

    I know family members arrived in the early 1800's but do not know much about them, only that there was some kind of spooky legend about one of the men involving a horse race and being killed. My great grandparents, grandparents, and my father and three uncles were all born at Bath, NC. All of them eventually moved to Little Washington and later to Newport News to find work. That is as far back as we have been able to trace the family. The earlier ancestors supposedly originally came from England and Wales. I love visiting there and imagining what it was like back when this blessed country of America was in its baby stages. There is something haunting and spiritual about the place to me knowing that is where my roots began.

    John Lawson went on an "Expedition to pick grapes"😂 No, he went past contenea creek without notifying the Tuscororan king. The Native Americans were tired of that particular white mans BS.

      Yep, He was looking for a way to go up the Neuse to find a faster route to Virginia. Von Graffenried wasn't too keen on going but Lawson nagged him and try to tempt him with the idea of eating some grapes.

    This is how myths become except truth . Eden wasnt in bath when blackbeard arived and the are no records of any family named ormond or ormand till after blackbeards short short time there . Town records show all of this . He never built a house there . He spent a total of 2 weeks there he sold stolen goods to the local law as funny as that sounds got a kings pardon and left. And no records ever said he was married once let alone 14 times . The visitors center even has a statue of him portrade as a black man ... get ur facts straight befor u tell ppl that its fact . This is why there are so many myths legends and out right lies about the man . This is what is wrong with soooooo much today everything is the urban legend of something real. falsehood passed on as fact . Is still falsehood . It is our job to teach our history not to continue to spread lies as fact and destroy real history for future generarions. If u want pirate fiction go to hollywood in bat history real history shouls go to life ... with the truth.

    Those back roads flood out in heavy rains and when wrecks or down trees happen. It's a mess. And the traffic isn't light, I promise you.

    This video is light on vital details as to why the Tuscarora War started. I advise people to go to the Beauford or Craven County archive online to discover the whole story because it is more complicated than the this video portrays. You will find that the English bought land from the indigenous people and when, for example, the natives wanted the land back, they murdered the buyers of the land and than resold it. There is a lot that needs to be discovered by both sides.

      Yeah... the English were duped and victimized. That stands up ti historic scrutiny
