(1)  Captain Josiah Pender (1819-1864) - Led a group of fifty men who 
seized Fort Macon a month before North Carolina seceded from the Union 
in 1861. An improvised Confederate flag was raised in place of the 
national colors. Confederate forces held the fort for a year and eleven 
days until it was retaken by Union General Ambrose E. Burnside in 
April, 1862.
