Abstract:
Josiah and Laura were from Tarboro, North Carolina. Josiah Pender was a Mexican War veteran who was a part of the 10th NC Regiment at Fort Macon. He was discharged from the Confederate Army and that is where he met his cousin, Laura. They soon married and left for Bermuda where Josiah was assisting in the smuggling of goods for the Confederate cause. Laura became pregnant and wished to return to Tarboro to birth the baby. She boarded a ship to Wilmington which Union soldiers later tried to capture. The captain of her ship wanted to surrender but allegedly Laura persuaded him otherwise with a pistol. Josiah passed away in 1864 from yellow fever and Laura remarried Dr. Charles Cook. Laura had four more children but sadly her son with Josiah passed away in 1881.
