In 1754, Hugh Waddell left a life of destitution in Ireland and came to North Carolina to seek his fortune. He would become the highest ranking military leader in the province. In October 2007, a monument commemorating his accomplishments will be dedicated at the Fort Dobbs State Historic Site in Statesville.
