FOREWORD.
In the year 1746, all that portion oitht •Colony x>i Virginia which lay
west of the Blue Ridge Mountains was erected into a County which was
named Augusta. In December of that year, the County Court was or-
ganized and held its first sitting. Prior to that time it had become the
refuge and abiding place of a strong body of Scotch-Irish immigrants.
The bounds of the new County were limited on the north by Fairfax's
Northern Neck Grant and the boundaries of Maryland and Pennsylvania
to the westward of Fairfax ; on the east by the Blue Ridge Mountains ;
on the south by the Caroline line. On the west its territory embraced
all the soil held by the British without limit of extent. For about twelve
years the County Court of Augusta was the only Court and repository
of records within that district. From the end of that period, at frequent
intervals, its jurisdiction was restricted by the erection of other Counties
as the demands of the settlers required. Its original constitution em-
braced all Virginia west of the Blue Ridge (with the exception of the
Northern Neck Grant, whose southern boundary was in the present
County of Shenandoah, and western, through the Counties of Hardy,
Hampshire, and northward to the Potomac) ; the whole of the present
state of West Virginia ; a portion of the present Western Pennsylvania,
including Pittsburgh, which was, at times, the seat of the County Court ;
and the lands on the waters of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers.
The value of this compilation of notes and abstracts will be deter-
mined by the extent of its contribution to the history of the early set-
tlement of a great country and the acceptability of its form. It is not
claimed that it is of equal value with the records themselves, or that it
is perfect as a compilation. Nor does it constitute a history in the
accepted sense. Yet, as the progressive record of the daily life, the needs,
the trials, the struggles, the efforts, the labors, the implements and tools,
the occupations and amusements, the aids and obstacles, the aims and
longings, the achievements and failures, the forming and shaping, the
beauty and ugliness, the riches and sordidness, the risings and declinings,
the moral, physical, and spiritual evolution of an offshoot and a nucleus
of a people whose characteristics have ever been truth, honesty, sim-
plicity, singleness of purpose, and courage, it is believed that it presents
history in its truest, most reliable and most attractive form. There is
much in it that will be found to be of no direct import ; much that can-
3
n
not be classified; much that cannot be reduced to a generality; much
that cannot be made to point to a moral. But every item has its value,
each has its place in the picture, each gives a touch or different shade of
color, each limits, or broadens, or enlightens its own surroundings. The
vista unfolds by grades and steps, and truth becomes plain, as it always
does, through growth and development. The story is told by those who
act the play. Nothing is added by commentator; nothing is colored by
bias ; nothing is affected ; nothing the result of self-consciousness.
To present the bare facts has been the purpose of the compiler. Each
reader will weave his own story, with his own coloring and atmosphere.
.

That your petitioners are daily troubled by John O'Neal, a person of evil
fame, who, being ill natured, evil, designing, citigious, wicked man, he often
takes occasion to come to the houses of some of your petitioners and then
desimedly raises and foments disputes with them in which he makes use
of the most opprobrious and abuseful words he can invent, and as he is
bound to the peace, dares any one to strike him, therefore, should any of
us strike or beat him we know not what might be the consequences as we are
unacquainted with the law and his usual manner threatens to shoot us if
he see3 any of us out of our own plantations, that he will do us all the
damage he can by killing our horses, cattle, &c., and when reproved of his
misbehavior he tells us tfiat if he does any action, be it ever so bad, that he
will be cleared by this Court for two pieces of eight. His behavior is such
that your petitioners are afraid to leave their families to go about their
lawful affairs, not knowing but he may fulfill his threats before our return
by killing our wives or children, burning our houses, or doing some other
irreparable damage, and, as doubtless your Worships is well acquainted with
the behavior of this malicious man, we hope you will take our case into
consideration and fall upon some method to hinder him from being guilty
of such outrages and irregularities for the future. That we, being subjects
to his Majesty and the laws of the Dominion, may be no longer abused by
such a person in the above manner, and your petitioners, as in duty bound,
shall ever pray. — Daniel Harrison, James Maeill, Daniel Smith, John Mc-

into the hands of the Indians, or whether the Militia were entitled to it in
having recovered it from them, upon which dispute that sum of money was

up his negroes and household goods if he would allow them the money. We

Militia, and that several of them returned their dividends to the plaintiff

To the Worshipful Court of Augusta now sitting : We, the inhabitants of
this County, have long felt the smart of the great indulgence the ordinary
keepers of this County have met with in allowing them to sell such large
quantities of rum and wine at an extravagant rate, by which our money is
441
drained out of the County, for which we have no return but a fresh supply
to pick our pockets. We, your petitioners, humbly pray your worship to
put a stop to the said liquors, which would encourage us to pursue our labori-
ous designs, which is to raise sufficient quantities of grain which would suffi-
ciently supply us with liquors and the money circulate in this County to the
advantage ot us, the same. We hope that your worships will discover to
us that you have a real regard for the good of the County^ and lay us under
an obligation to pray for your prosperity. Robert Stevenson, James Hamil-

Looney vs. Looney. — 11th May, 1764. John Smith's deposition. He was
present when the proposals were made that Robert Looney and wife desired
to have confirmed. &>me time after Colonel Buchanan was sent for to draw
the articles, and Buchanan's statements are punctually true. The articles
were lodged with deponent. Shortly afterwards defendant and wife made
a demand of Peter Looney (now deceased) and David Looney of the house
and land. Peter Looney immediately answered (which David agreed to),
''choose the spot for the house and it shall be built, and show the land, and
Colonel Buchanan and Colonel Smith shall lay it off." They insisted to have
land over the creek, but Peter and David refused because it was contrary to
the agreement. Then Robert and wife made a second demand of David
Looney. The old woman said she chose to have the land in the orchard,
which he agreed to, and further said if they chose to have the house where
his barn stood, he would remove the bam. The widow Looney sent off for
cattle to winter in consequence of the bargain. The first winter after the
bargain David Looney wintered Robert Looney's cattle, and deponent several
times saw David drawing firewood to the said Robert, and he saw widow
Looney send a hand to cut wood for him. Sworn to before William Pres-
ton, Isiah Christian, Benjamin Hawkins. William Lawderdeal says that the
second winter after the above agreement, Margaret, the relict of Peter
Looney, deceased, sent him to Robert Looney to get and drive what cattle
fell to her share to winter, according to the agreement. Robert sent one
cow. Thomas Ramsey deposes that Robert Looney was intoxicated with
liquor when the articles were written, but was perfectly in his senses when
they were signed. John Buchanan deposes plaintiffs are Peter and David
Looney, defendants are Robert Looney and John Bowyer. There were pro-
posals between defendants and plaintiffs about the making over his land to
them, which bargain was afterwards concluded and deponent was sent for
to draw the articles. Both parties repeated to him all particulars of the
agreement, which he wrote down. Defendant Robert was drinking spirituous
liquors too freely so that he lay down to sleep before writing was concluded.
Deponent too(k) the articles home and after some time returned and found
Robert awake and in his perfect senses. All executed. Part of the land be-
longed at that time to Absalom Looney. Deponent mentioned this to Robert,
who said that Absalom had ordered his land to be sold, that he would buy it
and throw it in with his other land and make it over to plaintiffs. Robert
told deponent on Absalom's return from Carolina that he had paid Absalom
£10 and he was well pleased with what Robert had done. The agreement
was that the plaintiffs were to lay off five acres for defendant anywhere he
chose on the premises, a certain rent to be paid yearly.

Cabeen vs. Walker. — ^Thomas Rutherford's deposition, taken 8th May,
17r>4, before John Neavill, in Frederick County. He was employed as
agent for Messrs. Hoops and Walker, contractors, on the said campaign, in
the year of our Lord 1761, and that sometime in the month of July that
year (the troops being encamped at Stalnaher's on Holston's River), William
Cabeen came to the camp and applied to deponent for employment in said
contractor's service, alledging that it was in consequence of some engage-
ment, or promise, he was under to Doctor Walker, but having no letter, or
writing, to support what he then advanced, the deponent suspected a cheat,
and having then several persons under pay more than the service at that
time required, the deponent told Cabeen that he could not employ him under
any pretence whatever, but in as much as he was then out on the campaign
he might draw his ration, until the deponent should know Doctor Walker's
sentiments thereon, which the deponent took the earliest opportunity of
doing 1^ writing a true state of the affair, and some time in August Doctor
Walker, by letter, signified that as it had so unexpectedly happened, that
William Cabeen had, without his knowledge, proceeded so far on the cam-

asked him what price he valued his cattle to. He said £6. Crow said he
would set the price on an average, or leave it to two men, if he could jMove
his cattle were in his drove. They nominated Robert Shanldin and WilUam
Beard. The appointment was set, and the time came, but Carpenter did
not appear. James Bruster deposes : In October, 1768, deponent went to

Crow offered to sell one heifer. They came to Mr. Crow's house in Staun-
ton. Mr. Crow says : Mr. Bruster, I understand you are like to make me

cow which I dare ventur to say is mine, and I have come to see what yon
have done with her.

Ittcl^ he had been in a matter of this kind in a plot that he had made for
McCay» Hite and Green, on the waters of Cook's Credc, for that he had only
ran the lines along the courses of the creek and protracted all the other lines
and supposed comers which, where an actual survey was made by him after
the patent issued, he found trees agreeable to most of the Sttnx>sed comers
which he had mentioned in the protracted plat, or nearly corresponding
thereto, which deponent afterwards found to be the case on a survey made
iy \nm to determine a suit formerly depending between the said parties.

favor of ye 30th of August came to hand the other day. The contents
thereof surprises me, I suppose, as much as Mrs. Hoops's answer did you.
I shall not at present enter into the justness, or reasonableness, of the account,
as I presume that is out of the question. You, I make no doubt, are sensible
the money ought to have been paid by the Crown, and I should have thought
your experience from the year 1755 would have convinced you that it was
necessary to apply either before or at the time the Commissioners settled the
accounts for the campaign of 1758, as no regard has been paid to any ac-
counts that were not brought in before such settlements of any campaign
were finished. As to your seeking justice in Virginia, I presume no Court,
or jury, can be of opinion that I am to pay the debts due from the Crown
which remain unpaid from the neglect of the creditors. Could I assist you
I should with the greatest pleasure, but as I cannot, must leave you to take
any method you may think Just and most likely to recover your due. I am,
your most humble servant, (Signed) Thomas Walker. Col. Thomas Cresap,

stood, was the King's commissary, with an account for wintering 80 Mrag<>n
horses, whidi horses were sent him by Col. Thomas Cresap, who informed
him that the said horses were the King's and were purchased by the Governor
of Maryland of Mr. Robert Callender, and ordered by the Governor to him,
the said Cresap, to have them wintered. Some time in the spring the said
horses, with the wagons, which were ordered away from his house by Dr.
Thomas Walker, without acquainting him at the time to whom he was to
apply for the pavment of his account, on which he applied to Colonel Cresap^
as he had sent the horses to him, who went with the deponent to Port Cum-
berland on the day and date above mentioned, where was Dr. Thomas
Walker, to whom the deponent presented his account, which the said com-
missary perused and made no objection to any part thereof, but told him
they had not cash at that time to discharge it, but that as soon as Colonel
Washington came up from Virginia, by whom he expected a sum of money,
he would pay the account. The deponent informed them that as he lived at
a great distance, and it would put him to considerable trouble to be coming
after his money, he should for the future expect his money from Colonel
Cresap, who he looked upon to be liable to him for it, upon which Dr.
Walker desired Colonel Cresap to pay me the money, the amount of whidi
was £80.17.0, which sum the Colonel payed me the next day. Agreeable
to his request for which I gave a receipt and never received anything for the
same but from Colonel Cresap. (Signed) Van Swearingen, Sr.

saith not. (Signed) David Long.

DISTRICT COURT EXECUTIONS.
Septbmber, 1794 (A to I).
Gregg vs. Hinkle. — Sir: — I understand that you are much dissatisfied
about the land that I surveyed for Abraham Teter, on the north side of
Seneca, joining his own land, saying I promised to send you word before I
surveyed it. I remember of promising not to survey it before Andrew
Johnson would return from Rockingham, who was to bring your entry, and
Andrew returned and brought no entry; and, moreover, old George Teter
searched Lewis's records and found no such entry as you spoke of, and the
widow Teter demanded the surveying of the same, and as Abraham had the
oldest entry by warrant, I thought myself in duty bound to survey it, neither
saw I any occasion to send for you, when I knew you had no entry for the
land, and yet had time to procure it, and, furthermore, it is uncertain whether
old entrys are prolonged on the Eastern waters or not, for Mr. Lewis wrote
to me that he knew that they were prolonged on the Western waters, but not
on our waters. But if your right is good, my surveying of it will not hinder
you from obtaining it, for I don't mean to make the plot till you are satisfied
about it. I am ready, at your demand, to survey 100 acres for you on
Seneca, above Abraham Teter's land, for your entry is now made by warrant,
for I lately obtained a warrant for you from Colonel Hamilton. I desire that
you be moderate in your censures, and, whether or not, I am your hearty
well-wisher and obsequious, M. Henkle. To Mr. Wm. Gragg. (Addressed)
Mr. William Gragg, Sr., On Seneca.

Stringer adversus Morrow. — ^First day of July, 1749. Bond by Daniel
(his "O") Stringer, of FoUowfield Township, County of Chester, and Prov-
ince of Pennsylvania, yeoman. Am held, &c., to James Ortan, of same place,
ftc. Condition: To pav £10 in 1751. Test, Wm. Morrow, Walter Hood
Rill for injunction, as follows: To the Worshipful Court of Augusta, Sit-
ting in Chancery : Orator Daniel Stringer, late of Chester County, Penn-
484
sylvania : That some time in 1748, or 1749, he purchased a plantation near
Buckley's Mill, in said County, of one James Orton, for £100, and executed
eight bonds. Orton had bought from William Morrow, but being unable to
make the payments, he sold to orator, and Morrow took assignment of the
eight bonds. Orator, intending to come to Virginia, sold to Robert Turner
for £150, and then set oflF on his journey to Virginia. Morrow went to
orator's wife, persuaded her Turner was insolvent and to pve up the bonds
to Morrow, which she did, and on his representation that it was necessary,
she went to Philadelphia with Morrow — 65 miles — where he desired her to
tarry at a barber shop till he returned from waiting on the Secretary. After
some time he returned and told her she might go home for he had attended
to the business without her. Morrow told her that the Secretary gave
Morrow a warrant to John Taylor, Surveyor of the County, and she might
get home as she could, and left her to walk home on foot. The day after
she got home, Morrow came and told her one thing more was necessary to
give him possession of the land, by putting out her fire and kindling one in
his name, which she also performed, and asked him to give up her husband's
bonds, which he agreed to do if she met him at John Taylor's mill that even-
ing. She met him there and found him so drunk that he did nothing but
abuse her and her two brothers-in-law who went along with her.
Orator shows that on his way home from Virginia a certain Hans
Hamilton, then Sheriff of York County, came to the house where he
lodged, about two miles on this side of Yorktown, and learning orator's
name, asked him if he was not indebted to Morrow, and arrested him at the
suit of Morrow, assignee of orator, &c., &c., and carried orator forty miles
back to Hamilton's house, where he was forced to remain a prisoner two
weeks (as he could procure no one to be his bail in a place where he was a
stranger), and then to deliver his two horses (value £40) to the Sheriff as
a pledge for his appearance. When he got home he was informed by his
wife of her agreement with Morrow, whom orator upbraided. Morrow
went with orator to Yorktown, where Hamilton arrested orator at suit of
another person, and on his agreeing to go to Hamilton's house to make up
with that other person who lived near, Morrow said he must return home;,
but would come to Hamilton in a few days and settle all matters, and he
would carry home orator's mare, which he then rid (worth £11) out of
friendship; on which Morrow took the mare, saddle and bridle, together
with a wallet in which was a new shirt and 3/ in money. Orator waited
eleven days for Morrow's return, and was then compelled to swap a stallion,
one of the horses formerly left in the Sheriff's hands, to a mare of the
Sheriff's to carry him home; but was obliged to leave nine pounds (the boot
which he was to receive in the swap of the said horses), tq;;ether with the
other horse, in the Sheriff's hands. Since which time orator has never seen
or met Morrow. Morrow has sued orator in Augusta. Orator never re-
ceived any of his articles. Sworn to 16th May, 1761, before Daniel Smith.
March, 1764 (B).

John Hopes (Hapes) vs. Daniel Harrison. — Chancery. Spa. issued Sep-
tember^ 1763. Bill states that orator was some years ago employed as
Deputy Sheriff under Robert McClenachan, and continued so for two years.
Thomas Harrison, Daniel Harrison and John Cravens were his securities.
As the end of orator's term drew near he became fearful that he would be
behind in his accounts, and withdrew himself to Carolina, leaving his
Sheriff's books and effects for the satisfaction of his bondsmen. His effects
were immediately attached by Daniel Harrison, who was appointed Deputy
Sheriff in orator's place. After some time orator returned to Virginia and
sold a tract of land for £47, which he paid to his securities, expecting to
have an account rendered to him by defendant, but orator waited a long time
for an accounting, and then applied for one, but has never gotten one yet.
Prayer for accounting.
Daniel Harrison's answer states that : Claims that orator is still in his debt.

tian, since deceased, when she was asked by Miss Priscilla if she would not
go down to Mr. Crow's store and get a fairing, on which this deponent
answered she would not go, and presently Thomas Crow, standing in the
store door of his brother William, waived his hand for this deponent and the
other to come over to the store, which they did, and as they were going into
the store the said Thomas Crow walked out, being called by his sister-in-law,
to the best of this deponent's rememberance, and as he passed by them Miss
Priscilla asked him if he was not going to give them a fairing, to which he
answered: Stay till I come back; on whidi they went into the store, and
Miss Priscilla made the same demand of a fairing from the defendant. Bell,
who was then within tlie counter, and made no reply for some time, but at
last he took from the shelves two pieces, or bolts, of ribbon, and told her

her, when the said Miss Priscilla asked him if he would not also give this
deponent one, to which he answered, yes, and delivered another yard to this
deponent, and soon after Miss Priscilla asked the said Bell if he would not
give them a fairing for Thomas Crow, to which he answered, yes, and then
gave this deponent and the other a yard each from another bolt of ribboo,
and some time after, when this deponent went to pay off her account wi
the plaintiff, William Crow, on hearing the articles read over with which
she stood charged, she found a yard of ribbon, to which she objected, as she
knew she never had bought any in the store, and on observing it was charpd
at the same time with the yard of linen which she bought from the said Bdl,
she told the plaintiff. Crow, that the defendant, Joseph, was wrong in char^
ing her with a yard of ribbon when he had made a present of a ribbon to \m
and Miss Priscilla Christian at the same time, and she supposed had not
charged Miss Priscilla, on which the said Crow looked if the other ribbon
was charged to the said Miss Priscilla, but found no account, and then he

Verdict for defendant.
November, 1766 (A). •
Carpenter vs. Fonts (Fotch). — Chancery. Writ dated 24th November,
1763. Complainants are George Carpenter and Ann, his wife; Stephen
Hantsberger and Ursilla, his wife ; Matthew Hearce and Francis, his wife,
daughters and co-heirs of John Shitley, deceased ; that John Shitley was an
inhabitant of the German Empire, where he died,- having a small personal
estate, leaving behind him your oratrices, then very young, and , his
wife, mother of oratrices, and one of the defendants, who by the laws and
customs of the empire, possessed herself of the small fortune of her husband.
Shortly after the father's death, the widow, thinking to benefit herself and
children, transported herself to America, bringing with her your oratrices
and what remained of John Shitley's estate, amounting to near £100, Vir-
ginia currency, and some time after her arrival married John Fotch, the
other defendant, who took possession of all the effects. That as your ora-
trices grew up, they intermarried (as above) and their husbands frequently
applied to the said John Fotsch and wife for the parts due their wives, but
obtained only £20 Pennsylvania Currency, £7 Virginia Currency, and 2
horses, worth £14, for which they gave receipt to Fotsch, expecting to re-
ceive the remainder in a short time, but now so it is, he refuses to pay them
anything more.
John Fotch's answer : He married the widow of John Shitley in Germati y
and not in America, and that on her passage to America she died at Ply-
mouth. He never possessed himself of any part of Shitley's estate, for lie
died insolvent, except a few trifling bed clothes made use of by his childr(»:i
on shipboard, but he says the grandfather of oratrices, Malchia Shitley, left
them goods and chattels which this defendant, marrying their mother, pos-
sessed himself of, and before he catnc to America sold for as much money as
came to £67 Virginia Currency, of which defendant expended £8 for ora-
trices for provisions and carriage from Switzerland to Holland, where they
took shipping, almost 300 miles. He also paid for their passage to Americi
the sum of 16 pistoles, and provisions growing short on shipboard, he was
obliged to expend 30 shillings. Having landed in Maryland and intending
to settle at Tulpahocken in Pennsylvania, he spent £3, 15 for provisions and
carriage to that place. That he left Germany in 1744, and about 2 or 3 years
after he came to this country he advanced to oratrices £25 in Virginia Cur-
rency, and two mares of the price of £14, 10.
That lately, on 31st March, 1762, he and complainants came to a final
settlement and defendant agreed to settle with them £42.
Augustine Price deposes before Felix Gilbert: That is Mardi, 1762, io
company with George Carpenter, John Potch and others. Carpenter and
Fotch agreed to leave their dispute to Jacob Pershinger, Jacob Nicholas and
Daniel Price, but they could not agree, when they came to an agreement
themselves, the only question remaining whether Virginia or Pennsylvania
Currency.
Daniel Price deposes the same.
Jacob Miller deposes : That being at the house of John Potch some time
in March, 1749, he heard George Carpenter ask three Gerles, that were hein
to the estate of , if they were satisfied with what they had received.
Jacob Pershinger deposes like Augustine Price.
Barbary Miller deposes, that being in company with Usley Shutting in
1750. Usley said she had received a mare and some clothes, and was weD
satisfied.

Looney vs. Looney. — Chancery. Col. John Smith deposes that in 1768 or
1764 Robert Looney sent for his son, Absalom, to come from Blue Stone to
James River with his family. That before he came in Robert Looney pro-
posed to his son Daniel that he would give him (Daniel) the land over the
Creek for his land in the Draft to settle his son Absalom on, to which Daniel
agreed, and when Absalom came in he settled on the land and Daniel Looney
took possession of the land over the Creek. That some time afterwards
Daniel Looney made the said Absalom a title to the same. That Daniel never
got any title from his father that the deponent knows of, though he often
afterwards heard the said Robert Looney acknowledge the bargain, and that
when the said Robert Looney made over his other lands to his sons, he
excepted and reserved the land over the Creek for his son Daniel.
Col. John Buchanan deposes : Of the original agreement he knows noth-
ing, but that in 1765 Daniel Looney was in possession of the land over tihe
creek, and that Robert often told deponent he had given his son Daniel the
land over the creek in lieu of the land in the draft whereon Absalom Looney
then lived, and that Daniel Looney repeatedly told deponent the same thing.
That when Daniel was on his death bed he sent for deponent, and, among
other things, it was mentioned that the land whereon he then lived was his,
and the said Daniel then desired that after his deaUi it might descend to his
daughter, which his father, Robert Looney, said nothing against, though he
was present.

Samuel Gray vs. Thomas Rowland, administrator of Robert Rowland. —
Superior Court of Law at Staunton. Tames Breckenridge deposes, 7th Sep-
tember, 1811, in Botetourt County, before Mathew Harvey, William Ander-
son: That shortly after the death of Robert, Thomas informed deponent
that he had lost a considerable quantity of gunpowder, perhaps about five
hundred weight, which he said belonged to Robert's estate, and had in his
lifetime been made and packed perhaps for the plaintiff, to discharge a debt
due to him which was payable in that article ; that he apprehended it had been
stolea by negroes in the neighborhood and desired this deponent to collect at
the Court House such as he suspected for the purpose of examining them,
which was done immediately. This happened shortly after the insurrection
among the negroes in the neighborhood of Richmond was discovered. De*
ponent had no reason to believe that any quantity of gunpowder was stolen.
Botetourt County records prove that defendant was convicted of slandering
Paxton. John Smelzer was convicted in Sweet Springs District Court of
slandering Joseph Ghent. Joseph Ghent is known to deponent since Joseph's
infancy and is entitled to credit. On defendant's complaint many negroes
were brought to the Court House and regularly examined, but nothing trans-
pired to excite in deponent's understanding the least suspicion of their guilt.

Commonwealth vs. Miller. — Proceedings. Augusta County. This day
John Poage, Esq., came before me, Sampson Mathews, a Justice of the
reace for the said County, and made oath that he received a letter signed
Alexander Miller, M. A., which he believes to be the handwriting of ^ex-
ander Miller, formerly a Presbyterian minister. Said letter was dated Aprfl
19th, 1777, and as it appears in the said letter that the said Alexander Miller
has maliciously and advisedly, in open defiance of the Act of Gen'l Assembly
of the Commonwealth of Virginia, passed the 7th day of October, 1776, for
punishing certain offenses, he has endeavored by the words and sentences
m the said letter to support, maintain, and defend the power, authority, and
jurisdiction of the King of Great Britain within the Commonwealth of
Virginia, contrary to the said Act and contrary to the safety, peace, and
good order of the people of the said Commonwealth, as also a letter wrote by
5ie said Miller to Col. Abraham Smith to the same effect. These are, there-
fore, in the name of the Commonwealth of Virginia, I command you to take
the said Alexander Miller and bring him before me on Tuesday next, ye 26th
instant, in order that he may answer to the said complaint, and this you shall
in no way omit at your peril. You are hereby authorized to summon such
guard as may be necessary for the safe conducting of the said Miller. Given

under my hand and seal this twenty-second day of August, 1777. (Signed)
Sampson Mathews (Seal). To John Erwm, constable, to execute and make
return. You are required to summon Benjamin Erwin and Tohn Christian,
son of Robert, on behalf of the Commonwealth against the said Miller.
Given under my hand ye 22d August, 1777. Executed 26th August, 1777.

Sir: — I congratulate you on your success at ye election, in ye words of
Mordecia to Esther, 4, 14, ''who knows but thou art come, for such a time
(of calamity) as this and hope ye will make ye precept Exod. 23, 2, yet con-
stant comparison in ye distressing crisis."
I write (as I proposed) to you with great cheerfulness, confidence, and
freedom from a persuasion, yet I have to speak to a man of penetration
and honesty, one who has ye fear of God before his eyes, and I hope and
pray that you may have courage to appear for ye common good, as under ye
inspection of ye God who stands and presides in ye Assemblies of ye
Mighty.
I doubt not by year's time many, nay, contradictory, plans have been
proposed to you and many wants complained of. I think I will complain to
you of only two wants, viz: Peace and safety. Other wants will in time
be rapidly supplied if these are obtained. You will say, how are these to be
obtained ? I answer, I think neither by war nor claiming independence ; in
war, unless by a miracle, we are unfit to conflict with Britain ; and to claim
indepencence appears to me evidently wrong, for ye following reasons, viz :
1. What deprives others of their property is unjust and useless ; but inde-
pendency deprives Britain of her property, therefore claiming independency
is unjust and unlawful ; ye first is true, property is by divine appointment,
and to invade it is forbid by ye 8th Commandment. Therefore unjust and
unlawful the second is thus proven, yet Britain has a property is allowed by
common language, "British America," "British colonies,," our patents and
ye consent of ye powers concerned in ye late pacification, but independency
deprives Britain of her territories, i. e., of her property, therefore unjust and
unlawful.
2. What is imprudent and unprofitable is a civil evil and loss to a people,
but independency is imprudent and unprofitable, therefore evil and loss. Ye
agreement is proven, thus civil prudence consists in increasing the wealth,
in lowerine taxes, in securing ye safety of ye people; ye opposites to these
are imprudent and unprofitable. But independency stops our trade, increases
our taxes, and exposes us to ye vengeance of Great Britain for attempting
to rob her of her property, all which is evident ; therefore independency is
evil and loss.
3. What will be condemned by friends and enemies, expose a people to
general disregard and to be deserted and opposed, nay exposed, to all ought
not to be done ; but claiming independency will produce all these evils, diere-
fore claiming it ought not to be done, llius is proven by ye first reason we
will be condemned for perfidy and ingratitude to our founders and protec-
tors, and suspected by friends and enemies for ye future. And as our claim
is only by force and strength, a stranger mav treat us as pirates and take
per strength what we hold, and we can't complain of injustice done us, there-
lore independency ought not to be claimed.
505
4. What subjects men to ye divine displeasure and punishment oi^t to be
avoided in conduct, but violating oaths to civil persons is sudi : Ezek. 17,
12 to 22. Independency is inconsistent with out allegiance to Britain. Yon
see what will follow — either to avoid claiming independency or be subjected
to ye divine displeasure and punishment. If, then, independency be unjost
and unlawful, evil and loss ; if it exposes to general condemnation and to
be treated as pirates by any who can and will ; if it subjects to ye divine
displeasure and punishment ; surely it will not, nor ought not, be claimed br
any wise, honest, and Christian people. To these I could add more, but thiok
these sufficient at present. You will ask, seeing peace and safety can't be
obtained by war or independency, how then shall it be obtained? I answer:
If we have done evil, let it be escaped from and not persisted in any longer;
if we persevere in sheddinp^ more blood and prolonging ye calamities of war,
we thereby increase ye gutlt and misery of ye people. Shall ye continnetD
do what and at first ought not to be done ? Our distress is great, be.
our rash folly has made it so. Our way and our doings have procured
these things to ourselves, Jer. 4, 18. You have now an equal ngfat and
privilege with any other member to reason and even repeal sdl or anytfaisf
hitherto done by conventions or congresses. I think it would be needful ip
inquire of ye people, ye commissioners of ye committees, whether it was tbor
instructions to you to enter into war with and independence on Britaio:
And if these men, viz committees, etc., have exceeded ye powers ceded to
them by their constituents, they and not ye people ought to suffer. To treat
with Lord Howe for peace and safety is ye best plan you can fall upon o
save ye lives and estates of your constituents. Great is ye trust now repo»i
in you and much good or injustice may and will result from your determina-
tions. May God direct and strengthen you to do ye first and prevent voo
from being accessory to ye la.st is ye prayer of yours in sincerity,

The CS^mmonwealth of Virginia against Alexander Miller, defendant-
Upon considering the charges against Alexander Miller, the defendant, as
well as the evidence adduced in support of the same, and also the verdict oi
the jury, we, the Court, are of opinion that the matter, as far as it relates
to aiding and giving intelligence to the enemy, comes within the ordinal^
of Convention, and therefore give judgment : That the said Miller be confiflw
to the bounds of the plantation whereon he now lives, in this County, till the
end of the present war with Great Britain, and that he do not in any manner
506
aid, abet, correspond, or converse with the enemies of America, nor argue
nor reason with any person or persons whatsoever on any political subject
relating to the dispute between Britain and Amercia, or until he be thence
discharged by the Executive Power, or General Assembly, of the Common-
wealth of Virginia ; and in the meantime he, the said Miller, be kept in safe
custody until he shall enter into bond himself in the sum of one hundred
pounds and two good securities in the sum of fifty pounds each. And that
the whole of the costs of this prosecution be levied on the estate of the said
Alexander Miller, viz: To Thomas Smith and James Hill, they finding
themselves and horses for going 120 miles to William Hutchison's, on In-
dian Creek, in Botetourt County, each at the rate of 4 pence per mile, and for
returning the same distance with the prisoner, at the rate of 4 pence per mile
each. To Robt. McFarland, summoned by the officer ; to assist, for going 50
miles, at 4 pence per mile. To the witnesses for attending one day each, 25

two days, twenty shillings. To the sheriff, for attending the Court and simi-
moning a jury, twenty shillings. To Daniel Kidd, for summoning the wit-

by the claimants. (Signed) Samuel McDowell. A true copy. Test: Wil-

Letter addressed to Mr. James McChesney, Sorrey Cunty,* North Caro-
lina: Rockbridge County, Julv ye 27, 1788. Dear Cousin: This is the
second time I wrote to you and have not heard of you or received a line from
you. But I hope this will find you and your Mamey and your brothers and
sisters well as we are at present. Joanna would be fond to see you all. I
have heard that you were all in a notion of moving to Nolson or Fmch
Broad, and I expect that either or Kentucky is better than where you live.
I intend selling all the land I have and move, but I cannot sell that little place
until you come and make me a deed, and if you comel will give you a horse
for your Mamey, I allow the best for you. He will be a horse that will carry
you or your Mamey home again freely. Perhaps your Mamey will come with
you. I would be fond to see you this fall, because as I off I would sell
all together and I can have a deed made here by a lawyer. But it would
be costly. No more at present, but give my respects to your mother, your
brothers and sisters in general. Affectionate friend. (Signed) Samuel
McChesney. Excuse haste.

DISTRICT COURT JUDGMENTS.

Adams vs. Bowyer. — Richmond, October 28, 1786. Sir: — ^The order of
Court, directing payment to be made for the averages ( ?) of labor in the
Clerk's Office of Augusta, out of Mr. Madison's estate, seems to me to be an-
warranted by law, for it ought to have been the effect of an agreement
between Mr. Madison's representatives and them. Nor do I conceive that
you can maintain an action in your own name for what you have done, b^
cause there is no privity between you and Mr. Madison's estate. I therefore
rather advise that a suit be instituted in the name of the justices against
Mr. Madison's administrators by way of a special action in the case. The
charges against Mr. Madison must be for breach of duty, and the amount of
the damages will probably be equal to what you have desired for bringing up
the records. I am, sir, your most obedient servant. (Signed) Kdm. Ran-
dolph.

ORDERS OF COURT.
Augusta, 1758.
To Mr. John Madison, in Augusta. — November 2, 1788. Dear Sir:—
I wrote you last night by Mr. McMahon. I have nothing to add but that I
have sent you, per Ned, as many peaches as cost 6>/3, beside what is in a
bag. You will readily know by the color of them that they were bou^t of
persons of the same hue. I hope Mrs. Madison will excuse the bad oioioe,
as my cousin, Ned, gave me but an hour to provide for him. Those in a
small bag and the apples my wife compliments vour children with. I wish
then safe to hand and have ordered Ned to nuuce two days' journey home.
I think the peaches are too heavy for his horse to carry them home in
one day. I hope you will approve of the orders. I am, with the same respect
as usual, yours, ftc. (Sig»^) James. Madison.
P. S. — I am too lazy and hune to go tathe other house at this time of ni|^
for more paper — 30 past 8 precisely.
To Thomas Walker, Esq.— Old Town, August 80th, 1780. Dear Sir:—
The answer given me by Mr. Hoops, to my account, pasturage of cattle in
1758, greatly surprises me. He mis me the account is out of time, tfie
charge is exorbitant, and that he don't believe that the pasturage was had.
It is very extraordinary that a man of his forbearance snould be cut out of
his money. As to the rate charged, it is the same paid me daily, and as to
tiie number of cattle and sheep diarged, it is not a fourth part of what
were pastured that year by me, Mr. Galbraith only signing a certificate for
those last taken away, wiuiout allowing anjrthing for what were killed the
whole summer for the garrison at Port Cttn4>erland. As I always bolced on
you as a gentleman of an establidied good character, I cannot think you
will agree to an act of injustice. Therefore hope you will order the pay*
ment of this account and prevent my giving you any trouble, that on its not
being disdiarged I must, m justice to myself, do, sod which would be very
disagreeable to me. At the time the cattle were brought to my plantation^
there was above 60 acres of meadow fit to mow, as good as ever s<^the was
put into, besides 60 acres of exceedinf good pasture, and they had the full
swing of the whole plantation. If I am obliged to nuJce use of any means
to ri^ mjrself , whidi may not be agreeable to you, hope you will excuse me^
as I choose rather to seek justice in Virginia tfian in Pennsylvania. I am,
sir, your most humble servant. (Signed) Thomas Cresap.
To the Worshipful the Justices of Augusta : The humUe petition of Ter«
rcnce Carbarry sheweth : That your petitioner was brought a servant into
S17
this County from Pennsylvania by John Risk, who sold him to Francb
Beattey, and was again sold by said Beattey to James Rosebrough with whom
he served last of his time, and is now likely to be defrauded out of his freer
(torn dues. May it therefore please your worships the premises to consider
and to appoint unto your petitioner such freedom as ye law directs, either
against Francis Beattey, or John Rosebrough, and your petitioner (as in duty
bound) shall pray.
August, 1780 (A).
To the gentlemen of the committee in the respective companies of Augusta
County. Gentlemen : From some late occurrences it has been judged neces-
sary to call a convention of delq^ates from the various counties and bur-
roughs of this colony to meet at Richmond, in the County of Henrico, on
the 20th of March next, and it is become a question whether the right of
electing such delegates is vested in your committee, or in the freeholders of
this County in general. You are requested to assemble the respective com-
panies to which you belong and deliberate whether it will be most conveniex^
for the freeholders to assemble to make such election themselves, or refer it
to the judgment of the committee, who are hereby requested to meet in
Staunton on Wednesday, the 2|^d instant, to make report of the determina-
tion of the respective companies on this head, and consider of such other
matters that then may be laid before them. (Signed) Thomas Lewis, Samp-
son Mathews, William Lewis, Alexander McClenachan, Michael Bowyer.

Charix)TTESVILLE, November 19, 1790.
Dear Sir:
Being appointed by the Assembly to the Senate of the United States, I
have thought it my duty to comply with the wishes of my country by accept-
ing that appointment. I shall sit out immediately to enter on the duties of
the office on the first of December. What effect this may produce on my
professional pursuits depends on the experiment to discover. My friends
assure me the Congress will adjourn in March, so that they will never inter-
fere. It is my most earnest wish to carry them on together and if possible
shall attend the Courts as usual. In any event, I must request of you to put
my business in the utmost forwardness, so that the friend who may act for
me may have no trouble and my clients no cause of complaint.
I enclose you the bond of Howard L to Butler, upon which you will
be pleased to issue a writ. I think you are acquainted with my causes. I
beg you, however, to write me on tiiat subject to Philadelphia and I will
give you further information respecting them.
You will be so obliging as to give the above information to such of my
clients as you see, as I decline a public advertisement until I shall make an
experiment of this trust and determine how far it will suit me. I send you
a receipt for Mr. Stuart, to whom you will please make my respects, as also
to William ( ?) Bowyer.
With real esteem, I am, dear sir, sincerely yours,
Jas. Monroe.
P. S. — I send you Baskins's will, which was, contrary to my expectations,
rejected by the Judge. You will please issue a writ against tfie person who
recovered the judgment immediately, provided you receive this so as to do it
within three months from the judgment, that, I believe, being the time
allowed by law.

CHARLOTTESVitLE, November 15, ,
Dear Sir:
Permit me to present to your acquaintance the bearer, Mr. Hansford, a
young gentleman who intends to practice in your Court, and whom you wiH
find remarkably well read in the law, and in other respects a very sensible,
worthy young man. I shall thank you to present him to any of your ac-
quaintance of the Gmrt, that he may become known, as he deserves. I
wrote you lately and requested you to file for me declarations in the cases of
Long vs. Turk, and Garber vs. Humphreys. H you have not been able to
render me this service, he will do it himself.
I am, dear sir, very respectfully yours,
Jas. Monroe.

Charu>ttesville, 8th August, 1790.
Dear Sir:
The Justices of Pendleton County are desirous to remove their Clerk froo
ofRce on account of his misconduct. The gentleman who bears this being m
a hurry, and some of my Acts of the Assembly being loaned out and not able
to command them, I have been able to find nothing on the subject but the
clause in the Act of Government, page 35, putting the inspection of their
conduct under the General Court and the District Court law, whereby it is
transferred to the Districts. Perhaps there is nothing else on it. The mode
of process is not designated, whether by motion or otherwise, but prestuoe
there can be no other, and in that case, whether notice is to be given by those
who made it, or a citation to be issued by the Clerk, citing him to appear to
defend himself against a motion to that effect, stating the charges. As this
is written within your line, shall thank you to attend to it and take such steps
as you may think proper.
Respectfully, I am, Jas. Monroe.
Mr. Lyle, Clerk of the District Court at Staunton.
Charlottesviue, 29th June, 1792.
Dear Sir:
You were so obliging as to undertake to speak to some suitable person in
Staunton to make for me a light wagon, for two horses, for plantation use.
on your return, may I request of you to drop me a line for Charlottesville
informing whether you have been able to engage one, the terms, and the
time it will be finished ; such as are used in the Northern States to carry the
produce of a farm in, and not such as we employ to carry tobacco, &c., to
market, is the kind I want. It should, however, for the kind, be strong,
sound, well formed and the ironwork good.
Very respectfully, I am, dear sir, your very humble servant,
Jas. Monroe.

Piper vs. Hartley. — ^This may certify that on complaint being made to me,
as a member of the Abolition Society, &c., that a certain Negro Tom was
illegally held in slavery by a certain Peter Piper, of Franklin Township,
York County. I attended, and on viewing the writings given to Peter Piper
623
by Peter Hartley respecting the sale of the said n^ro, I found that they had
originated in Maryland, and that of course the boy had been broogfat from
Maryland to the State of Pennsylvania, which is contrary to the laws of
Pennsylvania, and by which means the said Negro Tom obtained his freedom
and is now a free man. Certified this fourteenth day of December, 1799.

Personally appeared before me, Abraham Russell, Peter Piper, who being
duly sworn, sajth that about the month of January, 1787, he purdiased from
Peter Hartlev a negro boy named Tom as a slave for life, for the sum of
£50 and a fat hog valued at £2. Received a bill of sale from Hartley,
which is mislaid, and that through the interference of Benjamin Wright the
said negro boy was liberated from slavery in the banning of the year 1792.

15th August, 1800. Benjamin Wri[^t deposes upon his solemn affirma-
tion (being conscientiously scrupulous against making oath) that being one
of the Incorporation Society for the Relief of Negroes Held in Slavery Con-
trary to the Laws of Pennsylvania, and having had information that Peter
Piper held a negro boy called Tom as a slave contrary to law, called on said
Peter Piper, who informed this affirmant that he had purchased the boy
from a Peter Hartley as a slave, and showed him the bill of sale that Peter
Hartley had executed to him, the said Peter Piper. This affirmant then told
Peter Piper that he could not hold the boy in slavery by the bill of sale, the
law not being complied with in recording the boy, and in order to liberate
the boy this deponent proceeded to search the records of Cumberland County
(in which County the said negro boy was bom), and found he was not re-
corded there, and on returning to the County where the boy was held, said
affirmant effected the liberation of the said negro boy, according to the laws
of Pennsylvania, and farther saith not.

To the Worshipful Court of Augusta County, the petition of the sundry
inhabitants in the bounds of Captain Long*s Company of Militia humbly
showeth :
That your petitioners, while headed by Captain Christian, and since headed
by Captain Long, then enjoyed the greatest tranquility, but now likely to be
clouded by the loss of so noble an officer by a mere ddusion.
The most of us can, and will (if called upon), undertake to declare on
oath that Captain Long behaved himself at the Battles of Hot Water and
Jamestown as a good soldier and a noble officer. As to his conduct at York
we cannot pretend to say farther than from the most authentic accounts that
we could collect he had not that fair play that a true citizen ought to have
had. From which motives induces us to believe, and truly hope, your wor-
ships will, when you come to look at the affair, reinstate him in his post,
that we may continue our old rank, as we have ever been faithful subject*--,
contributed every thing in our power for the benefit of the States, turned
out cheerfully our quota of men on every occasion.
Therefore, as your worships is the only door we are to go through to
justice, humbly hope you will recommend him to his Excellency, the Go>'-
emor, which will prevent us from falling from our old rank, to wit, the
second in the Battalion to the youngest, and your petitioners shall, as in duty
bound ever pray, &c &c.

I beg leave to observe that I have received a letter from Thomas Hughes,
Esq., of your Court, wherein he informs me that the Court has reinstated
Capt. Francis Long (who was broke for cowardice) in his former commis-
sion. If so, I humbly conceive that the Court have exceeded their power,
for they have only power by law, or the Constitution, to recommend, and I
am persuaded (should that be the case) that it is without precedent that any
ofllicer that has had a legal inquest by a court-martial and broke for cowardice
should be recommended as fit to take command of a Company. I need not
observe the ill consequences that will attend such a precedent, and therefore
request, should such a proceeding have taken place, that the Court will please
reconsider the matter and recommend some other fit person.
I am with all due respect, gentlemen, your humble servant,
Samp. Mathews.

Whereas, Robert Bratton and James Kirk, inhabitants of ye Calf Pasture,
have this day, being the 7th of this instant, September, made oath before me,
one of his Majesty's Justices of ye Peace for Augusta County, that they
were last night robbed of two black horses and a sorrel mare having a star
and snip and a yearling colt with her, one orange-colored sitting gown, a
pale chma gown, one striped blue and white cotton gown, one single petti-
coat, one light-colored broadcloth coat, two beaver hats, one black velvet
cap, one old hunting saddle, one woman's saddle of buckskin, one blue jacket
of home-made cloth, one hat of Bermuda platt with a red ribbon band, shifts,
shirts, table linen, sheets, women's head cloths, four pairs of men's shoes,
three pairs of women's shoes, two bridles and a halter, a curb and a snafHe,
a rifle gun (double tricked), and a plaid gown. The servant man is well
set, with black curled hair, pockf retted, having a scar on ye right side of his
face, to a scar on his jaw blade. The wcxnan is tall, has curled hair and
is pockf retted. Both of them native Irish. Whoever secures said servants,
so as that they shall be brought to their master, shall have six pistoles for a
reward and reasonable charges besides, paid by Robert Bratton and James
Kirk. Therefore, in his Majesty's name, I charge and command you and
every (one) of you in your several precincts to search diligently for ye said
persons, by whom the said robbery was committed, and to make hue and cry
after them from town to town and from county to county, as well by horse-
men as footmen, and if you find them, that then you apprehend and bring
them before a Justice of ye Peace of ye County where they shall be taken,

Augusta County, to wit. — On the oath of Robert Renoxe it appears to me
that Mathew Young did beat and abuse Michael Bready with the butt end
of his musket to that degree that his life is in danger, which appears to me
in view as also the opinion of Dr. Flood, who is ordered to attend him.
I, therefore, in his Majesty's name, command you to apprehend and
inclose the said Mathew Young in close prison until it appears that the said
Bready is in a way of recovery, and that he, the said Young, be discharged
by due course of law.
You are likewise to apprehend and inclose one John Walker, who appears
to vindicate the above Young in his desired murder, &c.
