David Livingstone, the famous African explorer, scientist, and missionary for whom North Carolina's Livingstone College is named, had a son named Robert. Robert was a wanderer and came to the United States during the Civil War and joined the Union Army. Not wanting to trade on his father's name and fame, he enlisted under the name Robert Vincent. He was wounded, captured, and sent to the state's Salisbury Prison. He died there in 1864 at age nineteen and is buried in an unmarked grave.

Abstract:
One of North Carolina's most well-known country preachers was Elder Pleasant D. Gold, who was born in Rutherford County in 1833. He was educated at Furman University and trained for the law; however, he abandoned it for the ministry. He became a minister in the Missionary Baptist Church but later decided that the Primitive Baptist Church suited him better. He founded ZION'S LANDMARK in Wilson in 1867 and published it for over fifty years. He was also pastor of the local church in Wilson for over fifty years.
