  MONTGOMERY COUNTY, NC - HISTORY - The Regulators The Regulators (excerpted from the Montgomery Co., History, Vol. 2) In 1765-1770 colonists in North Carolina had great hardship. Most had arrived without funds. Hard money was hard to get and a system of bartering for goods was used instead. During this period, Governor Tryon wanted to be a king in America and nearly bankrupted the state, building a castle in New Berne. A tax stamp was imposed by the Royal Government and in addition, Tryon imposed his own tax to pay for his palace. There was corruption everywhere--in land grant offices, public office and the courts. The colonists were shamefully exploited. Cash was demanded for all taxes, fees and fines. In an attempt to correct these evils, the colonists formed the Regulator movement. It was an attempt to legally correct some of the government relations hips and dealings and give the colonists a chance to build a life. Tryon regarded this as rebellion and used cannons on them at a battle at Alamance. During this period, the Regulators presented numerous petitions, letter and advertisements. A man signing was laying his head on the chopping block--even so, they continued to petition and to sign. ANSON PETITION In 1769, a petition was presented with 17 demands covering their grievances-- land grant irregularities, improper tax collection, confiscation of property, injustices in court, dishonest court officials, etc. The 17th demand was: "17. That Doctor Benjamin Franklin or some other known Patriot be appointed to represent the unhappy state of this Province to His Majesty, and to solicit the several Boards in England."

NC REGULATORS At the Battle of Alamance on 16 May 1771, the militia under the command of Royal Governor William Tryon defeated approximately 2,000 Regulators. It may never be possible to identify all of the Regulators. Many have been lost to history. Of the six who were hanged at Hillsborough after the battle, the names of two are no longer known.
