As we have seen with Wilson’s early twentieth-century Latino population, the town’s population was not just black and white. World War I draft registration cards reveal two Native American residents whose surnames and birthplaces suggest that they were members of the tribe now known as Lumbee.
Spencer Hunt and George Washington Harden worked at Hackney Wagon Company and lived on East Green Street in an African-American community a few blocks from the factory. Neither remained in Wilson long and have not been found in any other county records.
