  • Notes 
    • Moore Lennon and Dennis Lennon, Jr., had a saw mill, which was, according to Yates Lennon of Wilmington, North Carolina, father of Senator and Congressman Alton Lennon, the first in the South. Yates Lennon said when he was a boy, he saw corn ground, lumber sawed, and rice beat out all at one time in this old saw mill building. Moore and Dennis Lennon, Jr., had the first houses made of lumber in their section of Bladen County, built from lumber sawed at their mill. The old mill was build of 10"x10" and 12"x12" timbers. The Lennons grew mulberry trees for their silk worms to feed off and spun their own silk.

      Dennis Lennon, Jr., owned a toll bridge over the Big Swamp. Although there is a modern bridge there now, it is still known as Lennon's Bridge. He and Epenatus Griffin gave the land for the Baptist Church of Christ at Cross Roads in January 1838.

      Dear Brethren: With deep regret we have to record the loss which the Cross Road Church has sustained, in the death of their Pastor, Elder Dennis Lennon, who departed this life July 16, 1842. He had long been in the field, blowing the silver trumpet, warning sinners to flee the wrath to come, and has left a testimony that our loss is his infinite gain: he has been taken from this Association to the Association above.
