The Fayetteville Observer adds to our list the names of the following gentlemen, members of the Convention
of 1835, as still living. We thought it more than probable that our list was not entirely correct. The
Observer says:
"In addition to the above we add, as still living, Joseph White of Anson, Frederick J. Hill and Wm. R. Hall
of Brunswick, Henry W. Harrington of Richmond, John W. Powell of Robeson, Gen. Alexander Gray of Randolph,
John B. Martin of Montgomery. Thirty-seven out of one hundred sixteen is a large proportion to be living at
the end of 26 years-the members being generally elderly men at that time."
