Excerpt from The Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, as Mentioned in Records of Wachovia
In September, 1904, Mr. O. J. Lehman, of Bethania, N. C., discovered among the papers in the Moravian Archives at that place an historical sketch bearing on its cover the title:
"Bruhstuck,
Aufsatz von den Vorkommenheiten
wahrend dem Revolutions-Kriege
welche einen Bezug
auf die Wachau hatten
bis Ende 1779."
In this paper Mr. Lehman found a pointed reference to the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, which he translated and sent to the Charlotte Observer. The paragraph and its translation are as follows: "Ich kan zu Ende des 1775sten Jahres nich unangemerkt lassen, dass schon im Sommer selbigen Jahres, das ist im May, Juny, oder July, die County Meeklenburg in Nord Carolina sich fur so frey u. independent von England declarirte, u. solche Einrichtung zur Verwaltung der Gesetze unter sich machte, als jamalen der Continental Congress hernach ins Ganze gethan. Dieser Congress aber sahe dieses Verfahren als zu fruhzeitig an." The words in italics are written in English script, the others in German. "I can not leave unmentioned at the end of the 1775th year, that already in the summer of this year, that is in May, June or July, the County of Meeklenburg in North Carolina declared itself free and independent of England, and made such arrangements for the administration of the laws among themselves, as later the Continental Congress made for all. This Congress, however, considered these proceedings premature."
