Thurs. Dec. 23, 1858   North Carolina Argus December 10, 1858
  A correspondent of the Wilmington Journal says: Old Dr.  Delph was found 
burned to death in Sampson County on the 10th inst. He was born on the 4th of 
July, 1730, and raised by MR. WILLIAM WILLIAMS of Sampson. He recollected very 
well the war with the Regulators, the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. 
It is aid that he was a servant of some old Tory, who ran away and left ( OLD 
DELPH), to go back to his Master (MR. WILLIAMS). He was a professor of the art 
of conjuring, fortune telling, etc. But he has told his last tale of the wars, 
etc., in which he seemed to delight. He had been been a member of the Free 
Will Church for a great many years, and seemed to be very well satisfied with 
his condition in life.
