    page 94.
    "But with the opening of the new courthouse early in 1785 the area around it
    began to develop. Lawrence Van Hook was authorized to keep an ordinary or
    tavern at Caswell Court House, as the place was called, later that year."

    page 168.
    "Not all young people lived such an easy life. Young Lloyd Van Hook, who had
    recently gone to Danville, Virginia, to work, wrote a very touching letter home
    to his father, Lawrence, on March 18, 1837. He was obviously quite homesick and
    now filled with repentance for something that had occurred before he left for
    the big city. `I should be very glad to see you all and all of my old
    acquaintances. I should be very glad to see old Uncle Thomas Johnston's Family
    it would afford me great pleasure to spend a week over the ground where I was
    chiefly raised although I know that it would make me feel Melincholy still it
    would afford me pleasure-but nay the time is past when I shall be as one of
    your family-no more I shall enjoy the pleasing smiles of my little Brothers &
    Sisters night after night, but nay, [i am] still absent from you all,
    unfortunate and disobedient child that I am ..." (Continues on for a while).
