Sept. 20, 1826 North Carolina Journal Written: September 1826 Recorded: September 20, 1826 -- At the Superior Court of Surry County, held last week, JUDGE RUFFIN, presiding, DANIEL RASH, a young man aged 27, was sentenced to be hund on the 29th instant, for the murder of his own uncle. The circumstances attending the perpetration of this unnatural act were of the most aggravated character and the cause which led to the murder, affords another lamentable instance of the horrid depravity of human nature. The wife of the person thus prematurely deprived of existence, although the mother of 12 children, eloped from her husband with his guilty nephew, and it was proved on trial that she urged her nephew to kill her husband, and in consideration of his services, was to give him some inferior article of clothing.-- Raleigh Register, 19th inst.
