Currituck County, North Carolina, holds one of the oldest colonial legacies in the state, with…read moreroots stretching back to the mid-1600s. Originally part of the vast Albemarle County, Currituck was formally established as a precinct in 1668, making it one of the first administrative divisions in the Carolina colony. Its name comes from an Algonquian word meaning "land of the wild geese," a fitting tribute to the region's abundant waterfowl and marshlands. The current courthouse was constructed in 2004 and is a modern red-brick facility. The Justice Center's design is contemporary yet respectful of its surroundings, using traditional materials and proportions to harmonize with the older courthouse nearby. Clean lines and proportional symmetry with classical detailing including brick pilasters, arched windows, and a prominent central entrance that create a sense of formality and permanence. Inside, multiple courtrooms tailored for Superior, District, Juvenile, and Small Claims proceedings. The hallways are spacious and wide. Almost welcoming but no cellphones were allowed.

It reads, "Wild's Raid. First major campaign in N.C. conducted by the U.S. Colored Troops, Dec. 1863. Freed thousands of enslaved in the area." There is more information online. In 1863, Brigadier General Edward A. Wild began organizing "Wild's African Brigade," a unit of African American regiments in eastern North Carolina, though the brigade was never fully assembled due to logistical setbacks. Wild later led a significant military expedition into northeastern North Carolina, aiming to suppress Confederate guerrillas near the Dismal Swamp Canal, free enslaved people, and recruit Black soldiers. Over 1,700 troops marched from Virginia, uniting at South Mills and reaching Elizabeth City, where they conducted raids, destroyed guerrilla camps and distilleries, and liberated around 2,500 enslaved individuals. The operation, the largest of its kind in North Carolina, drew national attention for its use of African American troops and yielded valuable intelligence, despite limited success in recruitment. It is marker number A-93 and it was erected in 2021 by the North Carolina Office of Archives and History. [Review 862 of 2025 - 4292 in North Carolina - 24419 overall] [20/20]

The marker has the same text on both sides. It reads, "Dempsey Burgess. Member of provincial congresses, 1775-1776; lieutenant colonel of militia in Revolution; Congressman, 1795-99. Grave is 7 miles S.E." Burgess, born in 1751 in Pasquotank County, was a Revolutionary War-era political and military leader whose early life likely centered on farming. He entered politics in 1773 and served in the provincial congresses of 1775-1776 alongside Isaac Gregory. When Camden County was established in 1777, Burgess helped plan its courthouse and jail. During the war, he held militia ranks of major and lieutenant colonel. Afterward, he resumed farming and was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1795, serving two terms before retiring in 1799. He died at his plantation in 1800, survived by his wife and four children. There is more detail online. [Review 1041 of 2025 - 4368 in North Carolina - 24595 overall]
