Bank of the Cape Fear & Bank of Wilmington (North Carolina)
Steven Jewett, IV, officer of the 1850's Bank of Wilmington, North
Carolina, signed it's money; he was my great, great grandfather. Jewett wed second, Lucy Anna Bradley, daughter of Richard Bradley, Jr. (and second wife Eliza Claudia Yonge), who signed the early 1800's banknotes of the Bank of the Cape Fear. Seek to contact any one interested in the history of those two Wilmington banks and their branchs, and, or interested in the officers and employees of those banks; and other early Wilmington banks. Jim Miller, Southport, North Carolina Post Script: Jewett, from Maine/New Hampture; in 1838, was U.S. postmaster at then "Smithville", N.C.; now Southport, below Wilmington on the Cape Fear River. My ancestor, lawyer Edward Hilton, Sr., Esq., of Eliot, Maine; was the brother of ship's master Capt. Wm. Hilton, Jr., who 1663 "purchased" and named the Cape Fear River. Edward's wife, the widow Mrs. Catherine Shapleigh Treworgye; was the sister of Capt. Nicholaus Shapleigh who charted the Cape Fear River. |

Didn't someone write a book on the history of this
bank a few years ago? Seems I remember reading about it in Paper Money. |

Bank of the Cape Fear Book! Yes, a good book too; but if memory serves, it did not show all the denominations and variations within denominations. I'd especially like to conract anyone who's ancestor was an officer or employee of either bank. I have a share of the BotCF stock, but it's old, not graphic; not very interesting. I'd like one of the later, more graphic,circa 1850's shares. Jim, Southport, North Carolina |
