PREFACE. 



During the course of researches into the family history of 
many individuals, extending over a period of several years, 
there was discovered by the compiler much original material 
relating to two most interesting periods of Virginia's history 
— ^the French and Indian War and the War of the Revolu- 
tion. Little of this material has ever appeared in print, and 
the compiler feels it a duty to preserve to history the names 
of those who participated in the two wars mentioned. 

The part played by the Colony and State of Virginia in 
both of these conflicts need not be detailed here. It is suffi- 
cient to say that many of her gallant sons were at Braddock's 
defeat and helped to save the remnant of the British regulars 
on their retreat ; while in the Revolution they were at the 
front ijntil the triumph of the American arms at Yorktown, 
in the siege of which there participated fiiUy six thousand 
i Virginia troops, both of the continental line and the militia, 
being over one-third of the troops engaged. 

Two of the most usefiil documents in this book, for the 
student of family history, are the Poll Lists for the election of 
members to the House of Burgesses from Prince William 
county, ill the year 1741, and from Fairfax county in 1744. 
The first 
territoiy 



of these counties, at the date named, comprised the 
braced in the present Prince William county, to- 
gether with the counties of Fairfax, Loudoun, and Fauquier. 
It was jille first halting place in the march of emigration from 
lower Virginia westward to the Shenandoah Valley, and thus 
formed ime gateway to what was then the western frontier. 
From ly44 to 1757 Fairfax county comprised the present 
comity Cftf that name and also the county of Loudoun.

VI GLEANINGS OP VIBGINIA HIBTOBY. 

The Rosters of Troops in the French and Indian Wars are 
taken from Hening's Statvies of Virgmia, a work generally 
well known to the legal profession, but one with which the 
average person in search of family history is unacquainted. 
For this reason it is desirable that the lists referred to should 
be made readily accessible. 

The original Muster and Pay Rolls of ofScers and men of 
the Revolution are in possession of the compiler and furnish 
the names of many persons not to be found elsewhere. Where 
matter previously printed is inserted in this work, special 
reference to the source will be found. 

More or less complete genealogies of various Virginia fam- 
ilies are also included, and it is hoped that they may be found 
useful to their thousands of descendants who are interested in 
their family histories. 

Virginia has done and is still doing much to preserve the 
history of her people, but during his researches, the compiler 
has been impressed with the fact that not enough attention 
has been given to the rank and file of her pioneers, many of 
whose descendants to-day occupy the front ranks of American 
professional and business life. If this work shall be regarded 
as in any degree valuable in preserving to posterity the almost 
forgotten names of many of those whose loyalty and self- 
sacrifice made our Republic possible, the compiler shall feel 
repaid for his labor.

EAELY TIMES IN VIEGINIA. 



Settlement. The first settlement in Virginia was made at 
Jamestown, May 14th (May 24th, N. S.), 16P7, by a party of 
105* colonists sent out by the London Virginia Company. 
This company owned the territory until 1624-5, when it was 
dissolved, and the colony reverted to the crown. 

Original Qraitt, In the Second Charter granted by King 
James, May 23, 1609, the limits and extent of the colony are 
pointed out. Section 6 provides : *' We do also . . give, grant 
and confirm, unto the said treasurer and company . . all 
those lands, countries and territories ... in that part of 
America called Virginia . . from Point Comfort, all along the 
Sea co€ist to the Northward two hundred miles, and from said 
Cape Comfort all along the Sea coast to the Southward two 
hundred miles, and all that space and circuit of land . . from 
Sea to sea, west and northwest ; and also all the islands lying 
within one hundred miles along the coast of both seas." 

Even after limits were more clearly defined, Virginia in- 
cluded all the territory now embraced within Virginia proper. 
West Virginia, a portion of Pennsylvania, all of Kentucky, 
Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, and a portion of 
Minnesota. 

From this vast realm were detached in 1784 the Northwest 

* Authorities differ aa to this number. Howe, in Historical CoUections of Va., 
says: ** In the whole company there w«ire but four carpenters, twelve laborers and 
fiftj-four gentlemen/' or 70 in alL Tyler, in **The Cradle of the Republic," 
oopies names from Captain John Smith's History, viz: 6 members of council, 
48 gentlemen, 4 carpenters, and 24 laborers; total, 82, with the remark, '*with 
dirers others to the number of one hundred." He says further: ''The total 
number left at the Island on June 22, 1607, was 104." Howe says : ^'Newport 
sailed on the 15th of June [1607], leaving one hundred men in Virginia." We 
leave these disagreements to the doctors to harmonize.

territory ; in 1792, Kentucky, and in 1863 what is now West/ 
Virginia, leaving but 42,450 square miles as the present area 
of the State. 

Origmal Subdivisiona into Shires or Counties, In 1634 the 
country was divided into eight shires, which were to be gov- 
erned as the shires in England. Names : James City, Hen- 
rico, Charles City, Elizabeth City, Warwick River, Warros- 
quyoake, Charles River, and Accawmack. 

Of this number the names James City, Henrico, Charles 
City, Elizabeth City, Warwick, and Accomack have been re- 
tained. In 1642-3, by Act 13 of the Assembly, the name 
Accawmack was changed to Northampton. In 1672 the 
limits were reduced by the formation of Accomack county 
of the present time. By the same act the name of Charles 
River was changed to York and Warwick River to county 
of Warwick. Warrosquyoake was changed to Isle of Wight 
in 1637. 

Oriffinal Officers, In 1634 it was decreed that Lieutenants 
were to be appointed the same as in England, who were to 
take care in special manner of the war against the Indians. 
Sheriffs were elected with same powers as in England ; and 
where need was, sergeants and bailiflFs were chosen. 

First Assembly. The first assembly held in Virginia con- 
vened on July 30, 1619, under orders from Sir George Yeard- 
ley, then governor, at Jamestown, called " James City." No 
definite acts were made. 

Early Records. Perhaps the most authentic record of these 
early acts of legislation is the compilation known as " Hen- 
ing's Statutes at Large," published from original sources in 
1823. This compilation is a mine of legal and historic infor- 
mation respecting those early days. The orthography, com- 
position and subject-matter reveal fully the body and spirit 
of the times. We give a few specimens : 

Primitive Acts and Eegulations. The following extracts are 
taken from laws passed at diflFerent times during colonial 
days: 



EARLY TIMES IN VIRGINIA. 3 

1. There shall be in every plantation, where the people use 
to meete for the worship of God, a house or roome sequestered 
for that purpose, and not to be for any temporal use whatso- 
ever, and a place empaled in, sequested only to the buryal 
of the dead. 

2. Whosoever shall absent himself from divine service any 
Sunday without an allowable excuse shall forfeite a pound 
of tobacco, and he that absenteth himself a month shall forfeit 
50 lbs. of tobacco. ... 

3. That there be an uniformity in our Church as neere as 
may be to the canons in England, both in substance and 
circumstance, and that all persons yield redie obedience unto 
them under paine of Censure. 

23. Every dwelling house shall be pallizaded in for defence 
against the Indians. [This act and the subsequent ones grew 
out of the condition of the country from the terrible massacre 
of March 22, 1622,* in which 347 men, women and children 
were slaughtered. The Indians came unarmed, " with fruits, 
fish, turkeys and venison to sell." But for the friendly act 
of a converted Indian, the slaughter would have been more 
extensive. . . . ] 

24. That no man go or send abroad without a suflScient 
party well armed. 

25. That men go not to work in the ground without their 
arms (and a centinell upon them). 

26. That the inhabitants go not aboard ships or upon any 
other occasions in such numbers as thereby to weaken and 
endanger the plantation. 

27. That the commander of every plantation take care that 
there be suflBcient of powder and ammunition within the 
plantation under his command, and their pieces fixt and their 
arms compleate. 

28. That there be dew watch kept by night. 

29. That no commander of any plantation do either himself 

* Hening'B Statutes give the date of this massacre as 1621 instead of 1622.

or suflfer others to speiid powder unnecessarily in drinking or 
entertainments, Ac. (Passed March 1623-4.) 

A very wise regulation looking to the good of posterity was 
that contained in — 

Act. 10. In every parrish Church within this colony shall 
be kept by the mynister a booke wherein shall be written the 
day and yeare of every christeninge, weddings and buriall. 
[Had this prudent and far-seeing enactment been observed by 
the churches of Virginia and the books preserved, the records 
of the State would to-day be the envy of the nation. They 
would, in fact, be a mine of inexpressible value.] 

Act 11. Mynisters shall not give themselves to excesse in 
drinkinge, or riott, spendinge theire tyme idellye by day or 
night, playinge at dice, cards, or any other unlawfuU game, 
but at all tymes convenient they shall heare or reade somewhat 
of the holy scriptures, or shall occupie themselves with some 
other honest study or exercise, alwayes doinge the things 
which shall apperteyne to honesty, and endeavour to profitt 
the church of God, alwayes havinge in mynd that they ought 
to excell all others in puritie of life, and should be examples 
to the people to live well and christianlie. 

[" Speak thou the things which become sound doctrine.'* — 
Paul to Titus. This act of the legislature of Virginia, while 
not so orthodox, perhaps, as the advice of the Apostle, contains 
much food for reflection. Portions of it might, with propriety, 
be commended to the churches of the present day. For this 
reason it is well, perhaps, to stir up their pure minds by way 
of remembrance.] 

Act. 51. All men that are fittinge to beare armes shall \ 
bring their pieces to the church ; uppon payne of every offence, I 
yf the mayster allow not thereof, to pay 2 lb. of tobacco, to be 
disposed by the church-wardens, who shall levy it by dis- 
tresse, and the servants to be punished. . . . 

Act 67. It 18 ordered, That the 22d. day of March be 
yearelie kept Holyday in commemoration of our deliverance

from the Indians at the bloodie massaker which happened 
uppon the 22d. of March, 1621. [Passed February, 1631-2.] 

Under laws passed in 1666, a fine of one hundred pounds 
of tobacco was imposed upon any person who, without lawftil 
reason, neglected or refused to appear " upon the days of exer- 
cise and other times when required to attend upon the public 
service." These "days of exercise" were occasions known 
later as " muster days." 

In 1682, the forts having been dismantled in the counties 
of Henrico, New Kent, Rappahannock and Stafford, Com- 
panies of militia of 20 men each were organized under the 
command of a captain and a corporal, whose duties were '*to 
command, lead, traine, conduct and exercise the said twenty 
soldiers." The captain furnished his own supplies and was 
allowed an annual salary of 8,000 pounds of tobacco, and the 
corporal 3,000. Each soldier under similar conditions was 
allowed 2,000 pounds. 

The fine for neglect of an oflScer to attend muster was 500 
pounds of tobacco; to go out on "range or scout," 1,000 
pounds. The soldier was fined 100 pounds for not attending 
muster, and 2,000 pounds for not going out on a scouting ex- 
pedition.

GLEANINGS OP VIEQINIA HISTORY. 



IMMIGRANT LIST, 1707. 

The following persons shipped at Bristol, England, with 
James Gaugh, captain and owner of the ship Joseph and 
Thomas, and received their wages as boat hands (Liber Z, 
folio 422, Aug. 2, 1707, Stafford County) : 

Abraham Loyd, John Wall, 

James Ginning, Arthor Marly, 

Thomas Jones, Thomas Calmers, 

Robert Goalfold, William Johnson, 

William Shough, Ellis Giles, 

David Vaughn, William Roach, 

William Harmons, William Adams, 

William Price, Thomas Parris, 

Lewis Johns, George Paines. 

From the records it is not certain that any of these persons 
remained in Virginia, but from the similarity of names found 
in the western portion of Stafford county, and after 1730 in 
Prince William, it is believed a good portion of them settled 
in Virginia, whose descendants are now scattered throughout 
the South and West. 



FRENCH AND INDIAN WAR— LORD DUNMORE'S 

WAR. 

Interesting Study in American History. One of the subjects 
of thrilling interest in American history is the struggle be- 
tween the French and the English for possession of the great 
valley connecting the Great Lakes and the mouth of thej 
Mississippi river. j 

English CUmas. The English discoveries and occupations I 
embraced belts of territory along the Atlantic coast, and were 



FRENCH AND INDIAN WARS. 9 

supposed to include all territory between certain parallels 
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. 

FreTich Settlements and dairas. The French had not been 
successful in securing footholds along the Atlantic, within the 
bounds of the present United States, but had secured posses- 
sions farther north around the mouth of the St. Lawrence. 
French Catholics, too, had discovered the mouth of the Mis- 
sissippi river, and ascended that stream, laying claim, under 
the law of nations, to all the territory drained by it and its 
tributaries. 

This claim, if acknowledged, would cut the vast continent 
into two unequal divisions, giving to the English the string 
of a bow along the Atlantic, while the French took the bow 
from one end, at the mouth of the Mississippi, up that stream 
to the mouth of the Ohio, and thence up that stream, with its 
tributaries, the Alleghany and French creeks, to Lake Erie, 
and finally across the lakes to the mouth of the St. Lawrence, 
the other end of the bow. 

If this theory of national rights could be maintained, it 
would plainly secure, as subsequent events have developed, 
not only the great bow already described, but the rich game 
in front, together with all the wealth to be developed in the 
path along which civilization has since spread. 

Lme of Forts between the Lakes and the Mississippi, The 
manifest pk>licy of the French, then, was to secure possession 
of these rich territorial tracts by a line of forts and other 
means of protection from the Great Lakes to the Mississippi. 
Accordingly, these preliminary steps were taken, and then 
began the game of chess between two mighty European rival 
nations for the rich prize at stake. Of Napoleon, at a later 
date, Byron wrote — 

''Whose game was empires and whose stakes were thrones; 
Whose table earth; whose dice were human bones."

which, for a time, involved the stability and supremacy 
of European governments, as well as the growth and prosper- 
ity of American settlements. 

Origin of the War. As a result of three years' controversy 
between commissioners appointed under the Treaty of Aix-la- 
Chapelle (1748) to settle the question of boundaries in America 
between France and England, what is known in America as 
the "French and Indian War" — in Europe as the "Seven 
Years' War " — was waged. 

Conflicting Territorial Claims. From 1750 to 1753 these 
commissioners at Paris wrangled over the matter. By the 
Treaty of Utrecht (April 11, 1713) Acadia was an English 
possession. But what did Acadia embrace? According to 
the English commissioners, it included not only the peninsula 
of Nova Scotia, but the entire tract between the St. Lawrence 
river on the north, the gulf of the same name on the east, the 
Atlantic on the south, and New England on the west. 

The French conceded only about one-twentieth of this terri- 
tory, viz., not even all the Acadian peninsula, but only a part 
of its southern coast and an adjacent belt of barren wilderness. 
Formerly the French claim was quite as extensive as that 
now made by the English ; but conditions having changed, 
their contention was changed. 

Bienville^s Expedition in 174,9. Nor was Acadia the only 
ground of contention. In the prosecution of the deep-laid 
scheme of the French, Celeron de Bienville had been sent in 
1749 by Galissoniere, the governor of Canada, into the Ohio 
valley with " a suitable escort of whites and savages to take 
formal possession of the valley in the name of the King 
of France, to propitiate the Indians, and in all ways short 
of actual warfare to thwart the English plans." Bienville 
made a detailed report at Montreal, whither he had returned, 
but it was not favorable to his lordship. The English were 
swarming in the valley and had succeeded in securing the 
Indians as allies.

FRENCH AND INDIAN WARS. 11 

Galissoniere was succeeded by the Marquis Duquesne. The 
latter, discovering the trend of events and being a man 
of action, decided to take immediate steps. Early in 1753 he 
sent a strong force by Lake Ontario and Niagara to seize and 
hold the northeastern branches of the Ohio river. Passing 
over the portage between Presque Isle and French creek, it 
constructed Forts Le Boeuf and Venango. 

Washington's Mission wnder Gov. Dinwiddie in 175S, Late 
in the same year (11th of December) a messenger from Gov- 
ernor Dinwiddie * arrived. This messenger was Major George 
Washington, Adjutant-General of the Virginia militia, then 
in the 22d year of his age. His guide was Christopher Gist, 
who was well acquainted with the route and thoroughly com- 
petent to perform his task. The burden of this embassy was 
to inform the French commander at Le Boeuf that he was 
building his fort on English territory and to suggest that he 
would do well to depart. After three days, which Washington 
employed usefully in making observations, he received a reply. 
This he returned to Gov. Dinwiddie, reaching Williamsburg 
on the 16th of January, 1754, after a journey of nearly 600 
miles over "lofty and rugged mountains and through the 
heart of a wilderness." 

Washington to Build a Fori at Forks of the Ohio, Gov. Din- 
widdie drafted 200 men from the Virginia militia and placed 
them under the direction of Washington, with instructions to 
build a fort at the forks of the Ohio. The Virginia Assembly, 

* Robert Dinwiddie was bora in Scotland, 1690, and died in Clifton, England, 
Aug. 1, 1770. While clerking in the customs department, he detected bis prin- 
ciptl in the perpetration of gross frands on the government. For bis services in 
this exposore he was made surveyor of customs for the Colonies, and shortly' there- 
after lientenant-goveroor of Virginia. 

fie reached Virginia in 1752, and in the following December he submitted to 
the Board of Trade an elaborate report favoring the annexation of the Ohio 
Valley; hence his sending of Washington to Fort Le Boeuf. Subsequent to 
Washington's defeat at Fort Necessity, an alienation between the governor and 
his field marshal existed. 

He was recalled to England in 1758, leaving in dispute an unsettled account 
of £20,000. 



12 GLEANINOS OP VIRGINIA HISTORY. 

forgetting temporarily its controversy with the governor, voted 
£10,000 to be expended for the purpose, but only under the 
direction of a committee of its own members. 

Want of Co-operation with Dimuiddie. Dinwiddle found 
diflBculty in securing co-operation from the other colonies in 
this enterprise. The attitude of the Quaker element in Penn- 
sylvania prevented that colony from giving the aid it might 
have famished. Some backwoodsmen finally pushed across 
the mountains and began the construction of the projected 
work. These, however, were driven away by a superior 
French force, and the latter immediately began the construc- 
tion of Fort Duquesne on the site now occupied by Pittsburg 
at the confluence of the Allegheny and the Monongahela 
rivers. 

Military Expedition to Forks of Ohio in 17S4 — Oreat Meadows 
and DeaJth of French Commander. Gov. Dinwiddle was en- 
gaged, meanwhile, in organizing a regiment of militia, under 
Colonel Joshua Fry, with Washington second in command, 
to support the backwoodsmen in their work. Washington 
had advanced with a portion of the command to Will's Creek, 
now Cumberland, Md.; and later, with 150 men, he reached 
Great Meadows, where he learned that the French had been 
reinforced and were sending out a party against him. Through 
the assistance of an Indian, Half-King, who had the previous 
year been with him on the expedition to Fort Le Boeuf, 
Washington learned that the French, under Jumonville, 
were in lurking for him. With this assistance the French 
were defeated and their leader killed. 

Fort Necessity BuiU — Washi/ngton^s Surrender. While wait- 
ing for reinforcements under Colonel Fry, Washington threw 
up imperfect intrenchments at Great Meadows and called 
them Fort Necessity. Finally, Fry's men, some 300, arrived 
without their leader, he having died on the journey. .With 
this force, increased later by a company of South Carolina 
troops, Washington was attacked, July 3, 1754, by a greatly 
superior body. From eleven in the morning to eight at night 



FRENCH AND INDIAN WABS. 13 

he held his ground. Then surrendering with the honors 
of war, he led his troops back to Will's Creek and abandoned 
the Ohio Valley to the French. 

A roster of the troops commanded by Washington in the 
Battle of the Big Meadows, in 1754, including 263 men, 
wounded 43 and killed 12, can be found in the Virginia 
Magazine of History, Vol. I, pp. 278-284. The original rolls 
are on file in the War Department in Washington. 

English Resist Encroachments. Notwithstanding peace by 
treaty existed between France and England, every precaution 
was taken by the latter country to repel encroachments on the 
frontier, but not to invade Canada. Accordingly, all move- 
ments were made with these purposes in view. 

Arrival of General Braddock in America. On the 20th 
of February, 1755, there landed at Hampton, Va., for co- 
operation with the colonies against the French in a war soon 
to break out in all its fierceness, two regiments of British reg- 
ulars, under command of General Braddock,* the newly- 
chosen commander-in-chief of English forces in America. 
These troops were then transferred to Alexandria, Va., to 
which point all the Virginia levies were directed to repair. 

Conference at Alexandria. On the 14th of April he held, at 
Alexandria, with Commodore Keppel, a conference, at which 

* Edward Braddock was bom in Perthshire, Scotland, in 1695 and died near 
what is now Pittsburgi Pa., July 13, 1755. 

He had had forty yean/ experience in military operations and had attained the 
rank of Mi^or-OeneraL 

He was thoroughly skilled in the science of war, as deyeloped in the text-books 
and practiced among civilized nations. He was '^prond, prejudiced and con- 
ceited;" or, as Walpole puts it, ''a very Iroquois in disposition/' 

He resented all suggestions that might have aided him in his great expedition. 
To Benjamin Franklin's intimation that if he could reach Fort Duquesne he could 
donbtlese capture it without much difficulty, but that the long, slender line his 
army would have to make *' would be cut like thread into several pieces" by the 
hostile Indians, his reply was a '* smile at his ignorance." He declared further 
that ''these savages may indeed be a formidable enemy to raw American military, 
but upon the king's regular and disciplined troops, sir, it is impossible they should 
make an impression."

were present the following governors: William Shirley,* 
of Massachusetts, Delancey,t of New York, Morris, J of Penn- 
sylvania, Sharpe,§ of Maryland, and Dinwiddle, of Virginia. 
Four Expeditums Planned. To accomplish the purpose for 
which he was sent to America, Braddock projected four dis- 

* William Shirley was bom in Preston, England, in 1693. Having become a 
lawyer, he settled in Boston in 1734. He was royal governor of Massachusetts 
1741;-5; planned a successful expedition against Cape Breton in 1746; lived in 
England 1745-63; returned to Massachusetts, as governor, in 1753; treated with 
Indians, 1754; was commander-in-chief of British forces in North America at 
commencement of French and Indian War; appointed lieutenant-general in 
1759; became subsequently governor of Bahama Islands; died at his residence in 
* Boxbury, Mass., in March, 1771. 

t James De Lancey was bom in New York City, Nov. 27, 1703, and died there 
July 30, 1760. He was graduated at Cambridge, England, and subsequently studied 
law in the Inner Temple, London. He returned to New York in 1725 and soon 
became prominent in public life.' He drafted, in 1730, a new charter for New 
York City, and in recognition was granted the freedom of the city, this being the 
first bestowment of such an honor. In 1733 he was appointed chief-justice of New 
York, and retained the position during the remainder of his life. 

He convened and presided over, June 19, 1754, the first Congress ever held, in 
Augusta. At its session Benjamin Franklin proposed a plan for the union of all 
the colonies, by act of Parliament, against the Indians. 

He, as govemor, granted the charter of King's (now Columbia) College, Oct. 
31, 1754. The next spring he attended the conference of colonial governors at 
Alexandria. 

He was a man of great learning and unusual personal influence. 

% Bobert Hunter Morris was lientenant-govemor of Pennsylvania from October, 
1754, to August, 1756. For twenty-six years he acted as one of the council 
of New Jersey, and for a period served as chief-justice, rcasigning in 1757, seven 
years prior to his death, which occurred Febraary 20, 1764. 

He responded to General Braddock's invitation to the Alexandria Confer- 
ence. 

I Horatio Sharpe, whose position as proprietoiy govemor of Maryland from 1753 
to 1769 made him a conspicuous figure in colonial times, came from London in 
the ship MoUy^ commanded by Captain Nicholas Coxen, and arrived at Annapolis 
on the 11th of August, 1753. 

On February 4, 1754, he visited Baltimore town to study his people, and was 
received by .the citizens with wild demonstrations of satisfaction. 

In July of the same year he was commissioned lieutenant-colonel in the British 
army. He was one of the counsellors with Braddock at the conference in Alex- 
andria.

tinct expeditions: Lawrence,* lieutenant-governor of Nova 
Scotia, was to secure the right of England in that region; 
Johnson, of New York, was to enroll the Mohawk Indians and 
lead them against Crown Point ; Shirley agreed to drive the 
French from Niagara; and Braddock, commander-in-chief, 
reserved the honor of recovering the Ohio Valley. 

Expedition against Acadia, In the execution of this pro- 
gram Lawrence, with the advice and consent of his counsellors, 
decided to remove and disperse the entire French population 
of Acadia (or Nova Scotia) among the English colonies of 
North America. Colonel John Winslow, commander of the 
New England forces, known for the firmness, but humaneness 
of his character, was intrusted with the practical execution 
of this project. The purpose was to take those of the same 
neighborhood and, without severing family ties, plant them 
in a new station. In the execution of the scheme some 6,000 
persons, men, women and children, were deported. The first 
embarkation occurred October 8, 1755.- 

Story of Evangeline. In the story of Evangeline, Longfellow 
represents these Acadians as a peaceful, simple-hearted people, 
and their houses as picturesque, vine-clad, strongly-built cot- 
tages — ^the embodiment of all that would be classified as ideal 
homes. Instead, however, the people are said to have been 
contentious and quarrelsome among themselves, and grossly 
superstitious under the priests who dominated them. 

Expedition against Orovm Point. General William Johnson,t 

* Charles Lawrence was a British general of distinction. He died in Halifax, 
Nova Scotia, October 19, 1760. 

In 1750 he built Fort Lawrence at the head of the Bay of Fondy. He waa 
i^pointed lieutenant-governor in 1754, and governor in 1756. He was made a 
colonel in September, 1757, and a brigadier-general the 3l8t of the following 
December. He was present at the siege of Louisburg. 

t Sir William Johnson was bom in Smithtown, Ireland, 1715; died in Johns- 
town, N. Y., July 11, 1774. Was educated for mercantile life, but, disappointed 
in love negotiation, he finally located on a tract of land on the Mohawk river, 
N. Y., and became a trader with the Indians. 

His courtesy, honesty and adaptability to circumstances gave him great power 
over the Indians, who made him a sachem. 

At the council in Alexandria, April 14, 1755, he was commissioned by Brad-

of New York, was intrusted with the expedition against Crown 
Point, on Lake Champlain. His forces came mainly from 
Massachusetts and Connecticut, New Hampshire also supply- 
ing one regiment which joined him at Albany. 

At the head of navigation on the Hudson there had been 
established a fort, which, in honor of a boat commander, had 
been called Fort Lyman. 

Fort Lyman Changed to Fort Edwards. The name was 
changed by Johnson to that of Fort Edwards. A garrison 
being left, Johnson, with some 5,000 men, including Hendrick, 
the noted Mohawk chief and his warriors, and such noted 
men as Israel Putnam and John Stark, started for the head 
of Lake George, and thence to Lake Champlain. 

Atta/ik on Fort Edwards and Death of Col. Williams. The 
French made every effort to check this advance. Baron 
Dieskau, collecting 200 regulars and 1,200 Indians and Cana- 
dians from the region of Montreal, determined to attack Fort 
Edward. Johnson detached 1000 men, under Ephraim Wil- 
liams, of Massachusetts, and 200 Mohawks, under Hendrick, 
to relieve the post. Advised of their approach, the French 
assumed a position in ambush. Presently the English were 
entrapped, and on the 5th of September (1755) were defeated, 
both Williams and Hendrick losing their lives. As they re- 
treated they were assisted by the cannon and forces in camp, 
and finally, after a five hours' contest, the enemy were com- 
pelled to retreat. In the rout the French and Indians were 
also assailed by the New Hampshire regiment on its way from 
Fort Edwards, and thrown into a panic-stricken condition, 
the commander. Baron Dieskau, being captured. 

Though the success of the day was due largely to the efforts 
of General Lyman, the honors were assumed by General 
Johnson. He was subsequently made a baronet and given a 
bonus of £5,000. 

dock '' sole superintendent of the afiairs of the six United Kations, their allies 
and dependents." He was also made a migor-general and assigned to the leader- 
ship against Crown Point.

Expedition against Niagara. According to the Alexandria 
arrangement Shirley was to inarch against Niagara. Colonel 
Philip Schuyler had conunand of the first regiment in this 
expedition. 

At Oswego boats were constructed to carry 600 men by 
lake. Shirley, by way of the Mohawk, reached Oswego on 
the 21st of August. Delays of various kinds occurred. 
Finally, in October, a council of war decided that the attack 
on Niagara should be deferred one year. 

Shirley's Failwre, Shirley's great project proved abortive, 
and terminated ultimately in simply strengthening the de- 
fenses of Oswego, and leaving them in command of Colonel 
Hugh Mercer with 700 men. 

Braddock's Expedition. Braddock's part in this grand move- 
ment now needs attention. His forces, designed to capture 
Fort Duquesne a^id clear the Ohio Valley, left Alexandria on 
the 20th of April. They crept along at the rate of three or 
four miles per day, stopping, as Washington said, "to level 
every mole-hill ; to erect a bridge^ver every creek." 

Finally, on the 9th of July, with about one-half his army, 
Braddock reached the vicinity of the fort. No scout had 
been employed. The march was along a road twelve feet 
wide. Drums and fifes furnished martial music for the oc- 
casion. 

Battle in Ambush. Suddenly the Indian war-whoop was 
heard. His columns were attacked, but no enemy was visible. 
Not heeding the advice of his subordinates, he directed his 
men to maintain organized form and fire in platoons. The 
result of this order was that many of his men were shot by 
their comrades. 

BraddocVs Defeat and Death. About half the force engaged 
— ^viz., 800 men — were killed and wounded. Sixty-four of the 
eighty-five officers were lost. Braddock was finally wounded 
and the command devolved on Washington. The latter cov- 
ered the retreat to Great Meadows, where Braddock died. 

Thus ended, in supreme disaster, the leading one of the 
2

various campaigns planned by the generul-in-chief of the Enc- 
lish army. 

Formal Drclaratiotis of War, Though war liad actually 
existed between France and England, thus involving their 
respective colonics in the New World, the Ibrnial declaration 
by England was not made until the 18th of May, 1756, and 
by France on the Dth of June following. 

Montcalm — JVVw; French Commander. Marquis de Montcalm 
became the leader of the French in America. He wa^ fur- 
Tiished with two battalions (1200) of men for operation^ in 
Canada. His entire command was about 4,000 men. The 
militia strength of the province was 10,000 to It5,0n0, }>ut this 
^was hardly reliable. Meanwhile, Montcalm strengthened the 
outlying forte, and endeavored to ascertain from Indian scouts 
the strength of the British in opposition. These scouts seemed 
to be open to negotiations, and hence were somewhat un- 
reliable. 

Shirley Commayider-in-Chief. After the death of Braddock, 
Shirley became commander of the British forces in America. 
His military training was inadequate, and his plans, though 
gigantic, were not successful. In his proposed operations 
against Crown Point, Lake Ontario, Fort Duquesne, and up 
the Kennebec river, he was anticipated and checked by Mont- 
calm, who easily took a number of the English forts and de- 
stroyed them. 

Earl of Loudoun Succeeds Shirley, Shirley was succeeded by 
John Campbell, Earl of Loudoun, noted later for his ** mas- 
terly inactivity and indecision." As a result, the year 1757 
was not distinguished by any military movement of much 
importance to the English. In fact, it was to them the dark- 
est period of the war. 

Capture of Fort George by Mcmtcalm., Montcalm took the 
initiative, and with 7,606 men penetrated the countr}' and 
invested Fort George. On the 9th of August the fort was 
compelled to surrender, with 2,264 men. By this victory the 
French acquired complete control of Lakes Champlain and 



FRENCH AND INDIAN WARS. 19 

George. The destruction of Oswego gave them control of the 
Great Lakes, and the retention of Fort Duquesne held control 
of the Mississippi Valley. 

William i^, Head of English Mimstry. A change in Eng- 
lish administration now began. William Pitt was placed at 
the head of affairs, and his letters assured all the colonies of a 
new order of things and inspired Aill confidence. He assured 
them of complete co-operation in the war against the French, 
and called for volunteers. Massachusetts agreed to furnish 
7,000 men ; Connecticut, 5,000 ; New Hampshire, 3,000. 

THREE EXPEDITIONS PROJECTED— LOUISBURG CAPTURED BY 
ABBROROMBIB. 

Under the new regime three expeditions were proposed : 

The first was against Louisburg. An army of 14,000 men, 
under command of Major-General Jeffery Amherst, captured 
the place July 26, 1758. 

Attack on Ticonderoga. The second was that under Lieu- 
tenant-General James Abercrombie, successor, as commander- 
in-chief, of Loudoun in America, against Ticonderoga and 
Crown Point. The attack on Ticonderoga occurred on the 
8th of July, 1758, and was quite disastrous, the English loss 
in killed and wounded being 2,000 men. 

Forbes' Expedition against Duquesne. The third was the 
second expedition against Fort Duquesne. It began in Octo- 
ber, 1758, under the direction of Brigadier-General John 
Forbes. His command consisted of 1,200 Highlanders, 350 
royal Americans, and about 5,000 provincials. In the latter 
number were 2,000 Virginians, under command of Colonel 
Washington. 

Fort Captured and Name Changed to Fort Pitt. Though 
Forbes started from Philadelphia in July, he did not reach 
Raystown (now Somerset, Pa.) until September. He did not 
leave Raystown until October, and, owing to obstructions to 
his march, he did not arrive at Fort Duquesne until the 25th 
of November. " The garrison, being deserted by the Indians, 



20 GLEANINGS OF VIRGINIA HISTORY. 

and too weak to maintain the place against the formidable 
army which was approaching, abandoned the fort the evening 
before the arrival of the British and escaped down the Ohio in 
boats/' An English garrison was placed, and the fortification 
had its name changed to Fort Pitt, in compliment to the new 
and popular minister of state. 

General Amherst Succeeds Abercrombie. In the meantime 
General Amherst was appointed (Sept. 30, 1758) commander- 
in-chief of the English forces, his victory at Louisburg having 
led to the same. 

Campaigna of 1769. The campaigns of 1759 were more 
favorable to the English. Under the skillfiil operations 
of Major-General James Wolfe, consummated by General 
Townshend, his successor, Quebec was captured in September. 
On the 25th of July Fort Niagara, under the command 
of Ponchot, was forced to capitulate. 

Presque Isle, Venango and Le Boeuf were, in consequence 
of lack of support, easily taken by Colonel Bouquet, who had 
been sent to summon them to surrender. 

Ticonderoga and Crown Point were taken with comparative 
ease ; and the only point of importance uncaptured was Mon- 
treal. Finally, after concentrating at that place the various 
armies which had operated in Canada, the city capitulated 
and the English flag was hoisted on the 8th of September, 
1760. The conquest was complete. It was the end of " New 
France." 

Treaty of Peace, The end of the French and Indian War 
was fixed by the Treaty of Paris, February 10, 1763, by which 
the French king lost his entire possessions in the New World. 
Pontiac's Conspiracy. Though the war had nominally 
ended, Indian depredations did not cease. Pontiac, chief of 
the Ottowas, who is supposed to have been present at Brad- 
dock's defeat, endeavored to form a imion of the Indians 
against the English. In May, 1763, nine garrisons, ranging 
in position from western Pennsylvania to Mackinaw, were 
either destroyed or dispersed. From May 12th to the 12th 



FRENCH AND INDIAN WARS. 21 

of the succeeding October in the same year, Pontiac personally 
conducted an attack on Detroit. 

Depredations against settlers in Maryland, Virginia and 
Pennsylvania were frequent. These were the result of a jeal- 
ousy felt by Pontiac because he did not receive from the Eng- 
lish the recognition which he considered due him. This 
feeling allied him to the French, and finally alienated his 
followers from him. In 1766 he made terms with the 
English. 

CoL Bouqu€t*B Expedition. Colonel Henry Bouquet was a 
British soldier of courage and ability. He co-operated with 
Forbes in the expedition which captured Duquesne in 1758. 
In 1763 he was ordered to go from Philadelphia with 500 
Highlanders to the relief of Fort Pitt. At Bushy Run, on the 
5th of August, he encountered a force of Indians, which he 
defeated with the loss, on his side, of 8 oflBcers and 115 men. 
Two days later he relieved the fort. 

Expeditions against Ohio Indians. In October, 1764, he 
conducted an expedition against the Ohio Indians and com- 
pelled them to make peace at Tuscarawas. 

Lord Dunmore^s War. Lord Dunmore, governor of Virginia 
from 1772 to 1776, was suspected of playing double. While 
efforts were being made by the General Congress, in 1774, to 
resist the encroachments of Great Britain against the colonies, 
and while the Indians were committing depredations along 
the western frontiers, the indignation of the people compelled 
their reluctant governor to take up arms and march against 
the very Indians whom he was suspected of having incited by 
intrigues to hostility. 

Colonel Lewis' Victory at Point Pleasant. Lord Dunmore 
marched his army in two columns; the one under Colonel 
Andrew Lewis he sent to the junction of the Great Kanawha 
with the Ohio, while the other he led to a point higher up on 
the Ohio, with the alleged purpose of destroying certain In- 
dian towns and then joining Lewis at Point Pleasant. The 
real purpose, however, is suspected to have been the concen- 



22 GLEANINGS OP VIRGINIA HISTORY. 

trating of the entire Indian force upon Lewis and thus weaken- 
ing and humiliating Virginia. If such were his purpose, he 
was thoroughly disappointed ; for Lewis, with inferior numbers, 
but unusual skill and gallantry, met the Indians at Point 
Pleasant October 10, 1774, and after a day's hard fighting and 
the loss of nearly all his oflBcers, completely defeated them. 

The immediate eflTect was visible in the migration which at 
once began to seek homes in Kentucky, eastern Tennessee, 
and the more remote regions of the Northwest. It developed 
the pioneer movements of Boone in Kentucky, Robertson and 
Sevier in East Tennessee, and George Rodgers Clark in the 
Northwest. With this theory coincides the view that Lewis 
was a patriot and Lord Dunmore a traitor to the best interests 
of Virginia and the whole country. 

We need not express surprise, therefore, that the name 
of Dunmore county was changed to Shenandoah in 1777, one 
of the delegates to the Assembly saying : " My constituents no 
longer wish to live in, nor do I desire to represent, a county 
bearing the name of such a Tory. I therefore 'move to call it 
Shenandoah, after the beautiftil stream which passes through 
it." His motion prevailed.

THE SCOTCH-ntlSH OF AUGUSTA COUNTY. 113 

THE SCOTCH-IRISH OF AUGUSTA COUNTY, 
VIRGINIA. 

So much has been written concemmg that sturdy race who 
called themselves Scotch-Irish, and who were the pioneer 
settlers of the upper Valley of the Shenandoah, and beyond, 
that any extended notice of them and their characteristics 
would be mere repetition of many abler writers. However, as 
this work contains the names of so many people of that race 
who constituted the skirmish line of civilization, a few words 
here concerning them may not be out of place. 

All authorities concede that John Lewis led the van of this 
heroic race when he settled, in 1732, near the present city 
of Staunton. But there soon gathered around him many 
of his own race, who bore their parts manfiiUy in the develop- 
ment of a new country, and whose descendants, now scattered 
through many states of the West, South, and Southwest, still 
preserve the characteristics which made their forefathers con- 
spicuous in earlier times. 

These pioneer settlers of Augusta were men of deep religious 
convictions, and their churches were the centres from which 
radiated the influence of the various communities as a whole. 
The Augusta, or Old Stone Church, was the first to be estab- 
lished, in 1740, and this venerable structure, erected more 
than a century and a half ago, still stands as a monument to 
the heroic men and women by whom it was built in days 
of difficulty and trial. Tinkling Spring Church, also estab- 
lished in 1740, was perhaps stronger in numbers and wealth 
than the Augusta Church, but three or four church structures 
have been erected there since the establishment of the congre- 
gation, and therefore it is not so interesting historically as the 
other. 

During the period of the French and Indian War the 
Scotch-Irish of Augusta, which then comprised an immense 
8

territory to the west and southwest, stood as a bulwark against 
Indian incursions east of the Blue Ridge, and so valuable 
were the services nnidered by these people that colonial laws 
asserting the supremacy of the Episcopal, or Established 
Church, were not enforced against these Dissenting Presby- 
terians. 

When the prelude of the Revolution began, the Scotch-Irish 
of the upper valley marched to Point Pleasant, and there, 
under the command of General Andrew Lewis, son of the 
pioneer settler of Augusta, fought one of the bloodiest battles 
with the Indians to be found in the annals of our colonial 
histor)^ In this engagi iii.Lt it is stated that 650 men from 
Augusta County alone participated, and by that time the 
limits of the county had been very much reduced. When the 
Revolution opened, the sons and grandsons of the original 
settlers were almost unanimously in favor of American inde- 
pendence, and Scotch-Irish officers and men weriT found on 
every field of the Revolution, from Saratoga to Yorktown. 

It would be impossible, within the limits of this brief sketch, 
to give the names of all officers worthy of mention who entered 
the service froin " Aligusta County ; but Andrew Lewis, who 
commanded at Point Pleasant, was a Brigadier-General of the 
Virginia Continental Line, and wivs chiefly instrumental in 
driving Lord Dunmore, the last of tlie Virginia colonial gov- 
ernors, from her borders. Three of his brothers were officers 
of rank during the Revolution, and Robert and Alexander 
Breckenridge were captains of the line in the same struggle. 
Stout George Mathews, colonel of the 9th Virginia Line, 
entered the service from Augusta, and was captured with his 
regiment at the battle of Germantown, Pa., because he dared 
to press too far against the British centre without proper sup- 
port. Col. George Moffett, county lieutenant of Augusta, 
marched witli his militia to South Carolina, and aided Morgan 
in winning tlie brilliant victory of the Cowpens. Robert, 
James, Andrew, and William, sons of John Anderson, who 
was one of the first elders of the Old Stone Church, were brave 



THE SCOTCH-IKISH OP AUGUSTA COUNTY. 115 

and efficient officers in the Revolutionary army, the first 
serving in South Carolina as colonel under Greneral Pickens, 
and the other three as captains. Robert Gamble, a captain 
of the line, led the forlorn hope at the capture of Stony Point, 
and his younger brother John also served as an officer in the 
American army. James Tate, a' captain of the Augusta 
militia, gave up his life at Guilford Court House, and many 
other names might be added to this list. 

During the invasion of Virginia, in 1781, the militia 
of Augusta were almost constantly on the march, and many 
of them were at Yorktown, where the final act in the drama 
was played. 

When the Revolution ended, these brave and enterprising 
men began the march of civilization westward, and the first 
settlers of Kentucky were almost entirely from the upper por- 
tion of the Virginia Valley. The Prestons, Breckenridges, 
Logans, Aliens, Trimbles, Andersons, McDowells, and many 
others, sought their fortunes in the new lands west of the 
Allegheny Mountains, and from these pioneer settlers has de- 
scended a race of people unsurpassed by any in the world for 
chivalry, courage, eloquence, and statesmanship. They have 
been found in every station of life, filling well the place which 
destiny has assigned to them, and the highest tribute which 
could be paid to the Scotch-Irish pioneers of Augusta County 
would be the roster of distinguished men who trace their 
ancestry to this section of the Valley of Virginia.

ELEC?TION OF BURGESSBS, FAIRFAX COUNTY. 125 

Fairfax county was formed in 1742 from Prince William. 
At the date of this poll, in 1744, it still included what is now 
Loudoun county. The latter, however, was detached in 1757. 
The voters whose names are given in the foregoing list were 
included, therefore, in the inhabitants then living within 
what are now Fairfax and Loudoun counties.* 

* It may be of interest to note the fact that in the year 1769 the House of Bur- 
gesses of Virginia passed an act concerning the manner in which members of this 
body should be elected. Section 7 of said act provides as follows: ''And be it 
further enacted, by the authority aforesaid, That after publication of such writs, 
and at the day and place of election, every freeholder actually resident within his 
county shall personally appear, and give his vote, upon penalty of forfeiting two 
hundred pounds of tobacco to any person or persons who will inform or sue for 
the same, recoverable, with costs, by action of debt or information, in any court 
of this dominion.'' Hening's Statutes, vol. 8, page 308. 



VIMINIA IN THE EEVOLUTION. 



The part which Virgmia took in the Revolutionary War 
cannot be detailed in this work. We can give only a few 
items to show that as a state she performed her full duty, 
though complete credit has not been given to her in the past. 

By virtue of her location she was a battlefield during the 
Revolution, especially during the closing period. The ser- 
vices of her militia were not taken into account, and hence by 
comparison with other states she appears to have furnished a 
smaller number of troops than were her quota. 

She had, however, a goodly number of militia, or minute- 
men, whose services were confined to state territory. The 
Virginia Historical Magazine began, in 1898, the publication 
of the lists of these men, commencing with 1777. The infor- 
mation fiirnished is exceedingly valuable and is heartily com- 
mended to our readers. 

A very interesting list of the Continental Line during the 
Revolution, including the general-in-chief, mcgor-generals, 
colonels, lieutenant-colonels, majors, captains, lieutenants, etc., 
may be seen in Vol. 2, pp. 243 to 258 of the Virginia Maga- 
zine of History and Biography; and a corresponding list 
of the State Line of the same period on pages 357 to 370 
of the same publication. 

The total contribution by Virginia of troops of all kinds, in- 
cluding continental and state forces, militia, riflemen, rangers, 
minutemen, etc., may not be correctly stated. At the opening 
of the war, and also during its progress, men enlisted for a 
year at a time. Some of them enlisted several times in 

succession. 

(126) 



VIBOINIA IN THE REVOLUTION.

In making up the total service, these repetitions need to be 
considered. The State's contribution to the Continental army 
is given, however, as 26,678 ; to which are to be added some 
30,000 members of State forces, making a total of 56,678 men. 
The only state which claims to have approximated Virginia's 
forces was the state of Massachusetts, with 87,907 men. This 
number, for reasons stated elsewhere, must be accepted with a 
grain of allowance. 

Virginia had originally fifteen regiments in the Continental 
service. 

In a letter to General Washington, in 1776, Richard Peters, 
Secretary of the Board of War, transmits the following list 
of Field Officers in the Service of Virginia. See American 
Archives, 6 series, vol. 2, page 320.

October 18, 1776, it was resolved by the House of Delegates 
that six new battalions of Infantry be raised and employed in 
the Continental Service ; and that provision be made for com- 
pleting the nine battalions formerly raised, and extending the 
additional bounty to such of them as shall be willing to enlist 
on like terms. (See Am. Arch., 6 series, vol. 2, page 1112.) 
Under this order the following men were appointed colonels 
on the 15th of November : Edward Stevens, Daniel Morgan, 
James Wood, Samuel Meredith, Charles Lewis, and David 
Mason. (See Am. Arch., 5 series, vol. 3, page 695.) 



128 GLEANINGS OF VIRGINIA HISTORY. 

HISTORICAL NOTES. 

As showing the changes and diflSculties in^mobilizing her 
forces, we have examined the original archives and made note 
of some things which will tend to throw light upon this period. 
So far as possible, the chronological order is observed. 

By the Continental Congress it was decreed, August 13th, 
1776, that the 8th Virginia should have pay from May 27th, 
and the 7th from 17th of the same month. 

The first Virginia regiment marched from Williamsburg 
for New York the 16th of August, 1776. 

On the 21st of August, 1776, the captains and subalterns 
of the 1st and 2d regiments presented a petition to the gov- 
ernor and council of the State to have their relative ranks 
properly adjusted as compared with the forces of North 
Carolina. 

At the October session of the General ■i.ssembly, held in 
Williamsburg, it was announced that six additional battalions 
of infantry were to be raised. The reward was : *' To every 
non-commissioned oflBcer and private soldier a present bounty 
of twenty dollars, an annual bounty of a suit of clotlies — ^to 
consist for the present year of two linen hunting shirta, two 
pair of overalls, a leathern or woolen waistcoat with sleeves, 
one pair of breeches, a hat or leathern cap, two shirts, two 
pair of hose, and two pair of shoes, amounting in the whole 
to the value of twenty dollars, or that sum to be paid to each 
soldier who shall procure those articles for himself — and to 
provide the following portions of land, to be given at the 
close of the war, or whensoever discharged, to the oflScers and 
soldiers who shall engage in the said service, or their repre- 
sentatives, if slain by the enemy, to wit: To every non- 
commissioned ofiicer or soldier, one hundred acres ; to every 
ensign, one hundred and fifty acres ; to every lieutenant, two 
hundred acres ; to every captain, three hundred acres ; to 
every major, four hundred acres ; to every lieutenant-colonel, 
four hundred and fifty acres ; and to every colonel, five hun- 
dred acres." 



VIRGINIA IN THE REVOLUTION. 129 

On the Ist of November, 1776, four companies of the Vir- 
ginia Battalion on the eastern shore were directed to march, 
under coromand of a field oflBcer, to Dover, Del., and await 
ftirther orders. 

On the 1st of November, 1776, it was ordered by Congress 
that commissions be granted to fill vacancies in the 4th, 5th 
and 6th Virginia Battalions; and on the 6th, Brigadier- 
General Stephens was directed to fill in dates and deliver the 
commissions. 

November 4, 1776, Capt. George Gibson, of the 1st regi- 
ment, sent by the governor to New Orleans on a special expe- 
dition, was provided by Caesar Rodney, at Dover, Del., with 
a number of horses and £6 for expenses. 

On the 5th of November, 1776, the returns of the 1st regi- 
ment, under command of Col. John Fleming, showed present 
a total strength of 486 officers and men. 

On the same date the 3d regiment, under command of Col. 
George Weeden, at Camp John Fushee's, had 603 rank and file. 

November 20th, 1776, Col. Wm. Crawford, of the 7th regi- 
ment, severed his relation with the command, and, in reply 
to a testimonial of confidence by his subordinates, expressed 
his purpose to devote himself "to the utmost defense of Amer- 
ican liberty, justice, and the rights of humanity." 

On the 26th of November, 1776, it was directed that a 
regiment of artillery, to be armed with muskets and bayonets, 
should be raised in Virginia, to include two companies 
already formed. 

At Williamsburg, on the 6th of December, 1776, Col. 
Thomas Fleming, of the 9th regiment, issued an order calling 
for the return of all officers and soldiers absent with leave 
and the joining of the regiment at Philadelphia on its march 
to reinforce Washington. 

On the 27th of December, 1776, it was decreed by Congress 
that the Virginia militia marching to the aid of Washington 
should receive a pair of shoes and stockings, and the same 
rations and monthly pay as were given to other continental 

troops.

130 GLEANINGS OP VIRGINIA HISTORY. 

On the same day, the 2d and 7th Virginia Foments, with 
all convalescents from other commands left in the State, were 
ordered to march at once to join Washington. 

On the same day, too, owing to the necessity of reinforcing 
Washington at once, Virginia was " empowered to call into 
service, at the continental expense, three regiments of militia, 
or minutemen, if such measure shall hy that state be judged 
necessary." 

These troops were enlisted 'Ho serve during the continuance 
of the present war, unless sooner discharged." 

By the session of the Assembly, which began May 6th, 
1777, was authorized the forming of militia companies of males 
over 16 and less than 60 years of age. These companies were 
to be not less than 32 nor more than 68 in number, and were 
to meet for muster once per month, at 11 o'clock, accoutred as 
follows : County lieutenants, colonels, lieutenant-colonels, and 
mm*or, with sword ; captains and lieutenants, with firelock 
and bayonets, cartouch-boz, sword, and three charges of pow- 
der and balls ; every ensign with sword ; every non-commis- 
sioned officer and private with rifle and tomahawk, good 
firelock and bayonet, with pouch and horn, or cartouch or 
cartridge-box, and with three charges of powder and ball. 

At the October session it was enacted, that to assimilate the 
Virginia with those from other states, fourteen of the said 
r^ments be reduced to eight companies each, and then be 
completed by volunteers or drafts. It was also suggested that 
the officers of the fourteen regiments, including those of the 
9th captured at Germantown, co-operate in this work. In the 
draft Mennonites and Quakers were to be exempt. Enlist- 
ments were for three years or during the war. 

The following letter from Governor Henry to John Law- 
rence, aide-de-camp on the staff* of General Washington, indi- 
cates the difficulty of securing recruits from Virginia in the 
year 1778. 

Accordingly, in September, 1778, the fifteen regiments from 
Virginia were reduced to eleven in number and reorganized 



VIBOINIA IN THE REVOLUTION. 131 

as follows : The 9th was joined with the 1st; the 6th with the 
2d ; the 5th with the 3d ; the 8th with the 4th ; the 7th was 
called the 5th ; the 10th the 6th ; the 11th the 7th ; the 12th 
the 8th ; the 13th the 9th ; the 4th the 10th ; and the 16th 
the 11th. 

WniTJAifflBUBG, June IB, 1778. 

Sir: Qeaenl Washington sent me an account of the Drafted Soldiers that haye 
joined the army from this state; and it appears that not one-half of the nmnber 
voted by the Assembly have got to camp. Truth obliges me to add that very few 
more of the Drafts wiU eyer be got into the service. 

I lament this capital deficiency in our Qpota of troops; but no efforts of the 
Executive have been sufficient to prevent it 

The Assembly, at their late sitting, have directed three hundred and fifty cav- 
alry and two thousand infantry to be forthwith raised and to join the grand army. 
Some of the former wiU be raised, but from every i^pearance I am sorry to say 
there is little reason to expect any success in getting the infantry. I can only 
assure you, sir, that I shall pay due regard to the Bequisition you are pleased to 
make for compleating our quota of men by exerting myself to the utmost, altho' 
I fear it will be in vain. 

With highest regard, I have the honor to be, sir, 

Your most obedient and humble servant, 

Patrick Henrt. 
The Honorable Mr. Lawrence.

In March, 1781, an act was passed to raise two l^ons for 



132 GLEANINGS OP VIRGINIA HISTORY. 

defense of the State. The preamble, which is quite historic, 
provides: "Whereas, at this critical juncture, when the enemy 
have made this state the object of their vengeance, it is neces- 
sary to provide a standing force for the immediate defense 
thereof It is therefore enacted that two legions, to consist 
of six companies of infantry and one troop of cavalry, of one 
hundred men each, be forthwith raised to serve during the 
war, but not to take the field or to do duty except in cases 
of actual or threatened invasion." 

On the 7th of May, 1781, the Assembly began its sessions 
in Richmond, and continued them, by adjournment, to 
Staunton, in Augusta county. This transfer, made necessary 
by military conditions, was authorized under a general law 
of the Assembly. 

At this session the governor was authorized to appoint re- 
cruiting officers to enlist, by persuasion, three thousand sol- 
diers for two years, or during war — each to be 5 ft. 4 in. high, 
not a deserter, not subject to fits, of able body and sound mind. 

Virginia in the navy during the Revolution was not so 
conspicuous as in her land service. Her work was meritor- 
ious, and her officers occupied honorable positions. On this 
subject valuable information and authentic lists of names, 
with relative ranks, may be found in the Virginia Magazine 
of History and Biography, vol. 1, pp. 64-75. 

It may be proper to say, that conspicuous among these 
naval heroes was Commodore James Barron, who, with his 
brother Richard, commanded "The Liberty" and "The 
Patriot," two important vessels during this period. Commo- 
dore Barron participated in twenty different actions, in all 
of which he was very successful. He died in 1787. His 
sons, James and Samuel, were also conspicuous in naval 
affairs during and subsequent to the Revolution. Descendants 
of the Barrons subsequently located in Maryland, concerning 
whom it may be well to consult Genealogical Manuscript, by 
the author of this volume. 

Virginia had a good representation in the artillery branch 



VIRGINIA IN THE REVOLUTION. 133 

of the service. Companies were commanded by Captains 
Nathaniel Burwell, Thomas Baytop, Samuel Booker, John C. 
Carter, Whitehead Coleman, John Dandridge, Samuel Eddens, 
John Gregory, John Henry, Valentine Peyton, James Pendle- 
ton, William Pierce, George Rice, Drury Ragsdale, and An- 
thony Singleton. 

Nine of these companies, viz., Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 
10, commanded respectively by Captains Pierce, Burwell, 
Singleton, Ragsdale, Pendleton, Dandridge, Eddens, Baytop, 
and Henry, were attached to Col. Charles Harrison's Virginia 
and Maryland Regiment of Artillery, from Nov. 30, 1776, to 
April, 1782. They were stationed at Valley Forge, Smith's 
Clove, Pluckemin, and camp near Chester at various times. 

Captain Burwell was commissioned an aide to Brig.-Gen. 
Robt. Howe, Nov. 30, 1776, and served to the end of the war. 

The scope of this volume will not permit the tracing in 
detail of the changes through which the various organizations 
passed from first to last. As battalions became depleted they 
were consolidated, and this resulted in many supernumerary 
oflBcers, who had either to be retired from the service or

170 GLEANINGS OF VIRGINIA HISTORY. 

In many cases M' Dunscomb has credited in his settlements more specie than 
the officer was entitled to. Where I find an officer has actoallj drawn more 
specie than he was entitled to receive — I have admitted the credits which have 
been given them by Dunscomb — because they have been finally settled with and 
received their certificates — and there is no hold left upon them — this appears to 
have been wrong in M' Dunscomb, for, in Justice, an officer in this situation 
should return such [torn out] of specie — and receive certificates in (?) — 
Where he has credited too much to an officer — and the officer has not received 
the full am* of such credit^the supposed balance in specie should be paid in cer- 
tificates—for instance: 

DoU«. 
He credits Col. Nat. Gist with 7 m" pay in 1782 

& 3, which is 625 

Ck>l. Gist has actually rec* 6 M*^ in specie, which is 

all he ought to have — and amounts to 450 

The remainder [torn out] 

Paid in certificates 75 

525

elucidate the general principles on which I have proceeded in the business — ^with-

PETITION FROM FAIRFAX COUNTY, VA., FOR IM 
PORTATION OF SALT. 

ViRQiNiA, Fairfax County, 1 
N(yv. SS, 1775. ] 
Sir : The Committee of this county, informed of the present 
scarcity of salt in the colony in general, and in this part of it 
in particular, sensible of the Difficulty, perhaps impracticabil- 
ity, of procuring it if not done this winter, and apprehensive 
of the great distress and Discontent that the want of this 
necessary article may occasion among the people, as well as 
the impossibility of furnishing proper provisions for the R^- 
ments of minute men and draughts from our militia which 
may be called into service next spring, have directed us to 
apply to the Honorable, the Continental Congress, praying 
them to encourage the Importation of salt, either by permit- 
ting the exportation of Country produce in return, in such 
manner as is allowed upon the importation of military stores, 
or in such other manner as that Honorable Board shall judge 
best. We beg leave, sir, thro' you, to lay this request, as a 
matter of the utmost importance to the good people of this 
colony and the public service, before the gentlemen of the 
Congress, and are, 

With greatest respect, sir. 

Your most obedient servants, 
G. Mason, 

John Dalton, Committee of 
Wm. Ramsay, Correspondence 
John Carlyle, ' of Fairfax 
John Muir, cownty. 

James Kirk. ^ 
To John Hancock, Esq., 

PtesiderU of the Congress. 

This petition at the opening of the Revolutionery struggle 
incidentally presents several matters of importance: 1. It 



G0BRE8P0NDSNCB OF WASHINGTON AND GATES. 173 

shows the value of salt as a household commodity, and the 
difficulty of procuring it at a time when means of rapid and 
easy communication were wanting. 2. It also shows that at 
this early period the military strength was supplied by 
"minute-men" and by drafts fix)m the "militia." 

In the list of signers will be found the names of persons in 
whom posterity will doubtless be interested. 



CORRESPONDENCE OF WASHINGTON AND GATES 
WITH COLONEL BEDEL. 

Cambridgb, la February, 1776. 

Sir: The Continental Congress, haveing calld upon the 
Gk>yemment of New Hampshire to raise a Regiment for the 
Service of the United Colonies, which they have accordingly 
complied with, and appoint you to the command, I have to 
desire, that you will use all the deligence & dispatch possible, 
to raise the said Regiment & march it into Canada takeing 
your Rout by Number four and Onion River, where a Suply 
of provisions will be laid up, by order of Major General 
Schuyler. 

This Regiment is to be raised upon the Continental estab- 
lishment, agreeable to the terms & requisitions of the Congress 
as transmitted to the Honble Convention of New Hampshire, 
the necessity of reinforceing our troops, posted before & form- 
ing the Blockade of Quebec, is too apparent to need being 
dwelt on, I would therefore have you order each Company to 
March, as fast as they are raised, and on their arrival put 
themselves under the Command of the General or Command- 
ing officer in Canada. 

Your Colony will provide you with such necessarys, as are 
indespensably wanting for the use of your Regiment, in the 



174 QLKANINGS OF VIRGINIA HISTOKY. 

takeing up of which, and your expences on the March I 
recommend the utmost Oeconomy, that can be used consistant 
with dispatch — 

You will take under your care the Coghnawaga Indians, 
who are now here and conduct them in the safest and most 
agreeable manner to themselves, into Canada. You are to 
bear their expenses, for which purpose I now give you a war- 
rant on the paymaster General for the sum of £100. — D. M.^ 

You must keep a just account of its expenditure, & render 
the same to the Commissary of the Northern department when 
you get there he will be advertized of this matter and directed 
to settle with you, — 

these sir, are your Instructions, to which I doubt not you 
will pay a proper attention that you may have a share in the 
G|jry of expelling the instruments of Ministerial Tyranny from 
that fair province, is the Sincere wish of 

Sir, Your most H. S*., 

(Signed) G*. Washington. 

Colonel Bbdel, 

on the service of the United Colonies. 



Camp, 4th October, 1777. 
Dear Bedel : I sent your faithful friend Louis to assist you 
in immediately bringing forward to my assistance all The St. 
Francis Indians who have lately come to Co'hos, with all

CORKESPONDBNCE OF WASHINGTON AND GATES. 175 

War Oppicb, March 4,, 1778. 

Sir : As the irruption intended to be made into Canada is 
suspended by a resolve of Congress, on account of the insuper- 
able difiSculties in getting the necessaries in so short a period 
as the advanced season would admit, the raising your regi- 
ment is needless and improper. You will, therefore, cease 
your proceedings on this account and dismiss any men you 
may have inlisted, that the continent may be put to no un- 
necessary expence. 

Such charges as you have incurred in preparing for the 
expedition you will exhibit a State of to the Dep. Pay Master 
General at Albany, who will settle with you for the same. 

I am, Sir, your most h'ble servt., 

[Signed] Horatio Gates, 
President of the War Office. 

P. S. It will be proper that Msgor Whitcomb rejoin his 
Companies, with his present rank. 

To CoL. TiM^ Bedel, at Coos. 

War Office. 

Col. Timothy Bedel was a prominent Revolutionary officer 
from New Hampshire. He served as lieutenant in Goflfe's 
regiment in 1760, in Canada. July 6, 1775, he was appointed 
captain of rangers, and on the 20th of January, 1776, was 
made Colonel of the 1st N. H. regiment, joining the Northern 
army under General Schuyler. 

For neglect of duty he was tried by Court martial in 
August, 1776, and cashiered. Despite this action, however, 
he was shown great consideration by Generals Washington 
and Gates, as will appear from the foregoing letters, and from 
the additional fact that he was subsequently made a Major 
General of his state militia. He died in Haverhill, N. H., in 
February, 1787.

178 GLEANINGS OF VIRGINIA HISTORY. 

Valley Forge is a village in Chester County, Pa., twenty- 
four miles west of Philadelphia. 

It was the location of Washington's army from the middle 
of December, 1777, to June 18, 1778. It was selected to prch 
tect Congress at York, Pa., whither that body had adjourned 
from Philadelphia in consequence of the occupation of the 
latter place by the British. 

At this place Baron Steuben assumed the duties of Inspector- 
General of the American army. Here, also, Washington an- 
nounced, on the 6th of May, 1778, the treaty of onr alliance 
with France. 

The American forces numbered about 11,000, only about 
one-half of whom, however, were in condition for service. 
Their sufferings were intense — a fact known to every tyro in 
history.

Beceived, 20th Maj, 1778, of Captain John Lee, Acting Paj Master of the 
Virginia State Begiment, Commanded by Col. Geoi^ge Gibson, the som of one 
thousand and forty-fiye doUars and |{ parts of a doUai^being money in his hand 
belonging to Dead men, prisoners, and deserters.

Entered A Ex« 

by J. O. * 

Col. George Gibson was born in Lancaster, Pa., in October, 
1747, and died at Fort Jeflferson, Dec. 14, 1791. 

His scholastic education was secured at an Academy, but it 
was subsequently made practical by business training in a 
mercantile house in Philadelphia. 



ISA QLBANIKGS OF YIBOIKIA HI8TQBT. 

At the opening of the Revolution he fonned a company of 
a hundred men at Fort Pitt, and marching to Williamsburg, 
Va., was commissioned a captain in the Viiginia line. Owing 
to the scarcity of powder and lead, he was selected by the 
governor to negotiate secretly with Spain, for a supply of 
these materials. He was successful in procuring supplies not 
only for Virginia, but for the other Colonies. For his ser- 
vices in this matter he was subsequently appointed colonel of 
the first Virginia regiment. 

His men, known as '' Gibson's lambs," were skilled sharp- 
shooters ; and being distinguished for independence and per- 
sonal bravery, assisted in repelling Lord Dunmore's attack on 
Hampton, October 25, 1775. 

He served with Washington through much of the Revolu- 
tion, his command of the first regiment extending from June 
6, 1777, to January, 1782. As a supernumerary oflBcer he con- 
ducted the march of the British captured at Yorktown to the 
town of York, Pa., where they remained under his command 
until they were sent to England. 

The war being over, Gibson retired to his farm in Cumber- 
land county, Penn., where, for a time, he held the position of 
county lieutenant. He was not permitted, however, to remain 
in retirement. In 1791 he was made Colonel of Penn. and 
New Jersey troops, and participated in St. Clair's Defeat near 
Fort Recovery, Ohio, on the 4th of November of that year. 
In this battle he was mortally wounded, and his death 
occurred on the 14th of the following December. 

Col. Gibson was a brave and meritorious officer.

216 GLEANINGS OF VIRGINIA HISTORY. 

Colonel Theodoric Bland, a revolutionary hero, was born in 
Prince George county, Va., January 28, 1742, and died in 
New York City, June 1, 1790. 

His preparatory training was received in England, but his 
medical preparation was secured in the University of Edin- 
burg. He began his practice of medicine in 1774. He was 
one of the number who petitioned the house of burg^ses to 
enact a law forbidding any one not properly licensed to prac- 
tice medicine within the province. 

He continued to practice his profession until the breaking 
out of the Revolution. Joining the colonists he became cap- 
tain of the first troop of Virginia cavalry. After the enroll- 
ment of six companies he entered the service regularly in 1777 
with the rank of lieutenant-colonel. Subsequently he attained 
the rank of colonel, and rendered efficient service throughout 
the remainder of the war, enjoying the personal confidence 
and friendship of Washington. 

He participated in the battle of Brandy wine; and con- 
ducted to Charlottesville, Va., the prisoners captured at Sara- 
toga, October 17, 1777. 

In civil life he was active. He served one term in the 
Virginia Senate, and from 1780 to 1783 was a member of the 
Continental Congress. He opposed the adoption of the pres- 
ent Federal Constitution, but was a member of the first Con- 
gress convened under its provisions, his term beginning March 
30, 1789. See **The Bland Papers,'' published 1840-3.

the service for eleven months, I was discharged by Lieutenant 
Samuel Crand of Capt. Richard May's company.

GARRISON AT WEST POINT, JUNE 21, 1784. 

Garrison op West Point, 1 
June eist, 178^. ) 

Sir : We the late officers of the American Army, deranged 
by the Resolution of Congress of the 2nd instant having been 
reduced to the necessity of adopting a measure, which may 
possibly by some be thought unjustifiable without the motives 
and reasons of our conduct being fully explained have thought 
proper in this collective manner to communicate the transac- 
tion and the reasons on which it is grounded. 

From the assurances of the Commander-in-Chief, and the 
other characters who were intrusted by Congress to arrange 
the troops who were to remain in service after the 1st of Jan- 
uary, 1784, and in whom we placed the fullest confidence, we

had every prospect of Punctual Payment for our Services. 
With this view we gave up every idea of business and were at 
very great Expense in making our arrangements as military 
Characters. Having made every Preparation for the year 
The Resolution of Congress which dismissed us, arrived at a 
very unexpected period. Being made however by the Sov- 
ereign power of the Country we acquiessed with that cheerful!- 
ness and obedience which becomes Servants of the public. 
The same Resolution of Congress by which we obtained our 
dismission granted us only two months pay in notes of the 
Financier, and directed final settlement Certificates for the 
discharge of the other four — upon an adjustment of our 
accounts we found this sum by no means suflScient to satisfy 
those demands which had necessarily incurred during a ser- 
vice of six months. In a situation so distressing we looked 
around for a possibility of Relief — Nothing presented itself 
but an order on Mr. Lovell, which you had placed in the 
hands of the Pay master for the officers subsistence, after de- 
ducting three months subsistence for those who were to remain 
in service, including the Invalids we found there was a 
sufficient sum to furnish us with six weeks pay, and on an 
application to the person with whom it was intrusted for the 
purpose of exchange, he delivered the money, taking our re- 
ceipts to that amount received of the Regimentel Pay Master 
on account of our four months pay for the year 1784. 

Thus Sir have we stated to you in the clearest manner the 
measures we have taken and the necessity which induced 
them. We fully persuaded ourselves they will be considered 
as perfectly just on our part and meet the approbation of all 
Concerned. 

We are, Sir, with great regard and Esteem, 

Your most obedient humble Servants,

On the back of the above letter the following is written : 
From the late oflBcers of the Garrison at West Point, July 
11, 1784. 

West Point. 

West Point, the seat of the United States Military Academy, 
is situated on the Hudson River, 52 miles north of New York 
City. 

Its importance as a strategic point for the defense of the 
Hudson river and the circumjacent country was early appreci- 
ated. Accordingly it was carefully fortified at the opening of 
the Revolution. 

The establishment of a military training school dates back 
to 1776, when a committee of the Continental Congress was 
appointed **to prepare and bring in a plan of a military 
Academy at the Army." 

Washington called attention to the subject in 1793 and 
again in 1796. The final act establishing such a school is 
dated March 16, 1802. 

The accompanying letter, written after the close of the war 
and addressed presumably to the War office of the govern- 
ment, plainly indicates that official promises were not scrupu- 
lously observed, even by the fathers of the Republic.

PAYMASTER-GENERAL OF THE ARMY. 

New York, July 17th, 1784,. 
Sir : Major Lloyd informs me you wished for an explana- 
tion relative to some charges in my public account against 
certain officers then belonging to the Regiment. I will take 
up that of Captain McConnel for instance (the others are in 
the same predicament). I advanced Captain McConnel for 
the recruiting service at different times as per receipts 1104 
dollars, together with twenty dollars as per memorandum 
Book dated in Feb., 1777. The whole of these 1124 dollars 
were given him from the time he received his recruiting in- 
structions in 76 to March, 77 — In the beginning of March, 
1777. I received a letter from Mr. R. Peters,* Secretary of 
war, dated Baltimore, Feb. 24, 1777, in the following words : 
"Sir, congress having received intelligence of the enemy's 
being reinforced in New Jersey Very considerably it becomes 
absolutely necessary both for the preservation of the army 
under (Jeneral Washington and to check the progress of a 
cruel and remorseless enemy that he be joined immediately 
by all the forces that can possibly be procured. You have 
the resolve of Congress on that head mclosed by Direction of 
the Board of War with which they request you will instantly 
comply by sending all the men raised in your Regiment. Let 
them bring what Arms Blankets and clothes they have or can 
by any means obtain and the deficiency will be supplied at

He spoke German fluently and was noted for his wit and humor. He achieved 
some success in the legal profession. At the opening of the Revolution he be- 
came a captain of a company of volunteers. This position, however, he held but 
a short time, when he was assigned by Congress to the Board of War, of which 
he was made Secretary, from June 13, 1776, to Dec, 1781. He was a member of 
Congress in 1782-3. From 1789 to the time of his death he was a Federal Judge 
in Pennsylvania.

Dear Sir : I suppose if I were to write you a letter in which 
you would be told that fate, fortune, or something, or some- 
body else has left, or given, or put in the power of you to 
command a good chew of Tobacco, that you would be atten-

have not given me more— enough. Will you look into the 
return of Posey's Detachment? and there you will find that 
Capt. Scott was only settled for up to the rank of the com- 
mencement of his account — this happened in consequence 
of his having been Mustered on Command, which not being 
fully explained to me at the time the agent made the claim for 
all pay due the Detachmeaty remained to be settled thereafter, 
and various are the instances of after-settlements, to this and 
other matters let me call your serious attention, if you will 
examine thoroughly, you will find that I have lodged many 
accounts with you that remain as yet unsettled and which are 
the sources of disagreeable and fruitless applications, pray 
have all closed that can be and inform those that cannot, and 
give me a power of satisfying the minds and wishes of the

Thomas Posey was born on the Potomac river, in Fairfax 
Co., Va., July 9, 1750, and died in Shawneetow, 111., March 
19, 1818. His education was acquired in the common 
schools. At the age of nineteen he removed to what is now 
West Virginia. 

As quarter-master in Colonel Andrew Lewis's command, he 
participated in the defeat of the Indians at Point Pleasant, 
October 10, 1774, during Dunmore's War. The following 
year he was commissioned captain in the 7th Virginia Con- 
tinental regiment, and was present at the defeat of Lord Dun- 
more, July 8, 1776. 

During the remainder of the war he served in New Jersey 
with Daniel Morgan and Horatio Gates. 



236 GLEANINGS OP VIRGINIA HISTORY. 

The war having closed, he settled in Spottsylvania county, 
Va., and was made colonel of the county militia. In 1793 he 
was commissioned a brigadier-general and assigned to duty 
under Wayne in the Northwest. He resigned Feb. 28, 1794, 
and located in Kentucky, where he served a term in the State 
Senate. He was finally made major-general and assigned to 
the organization of state troops. Having removed to Louisi- 
ana, he served, by appointment, as U. S. Senator in 1812-13. 
Subsequently, he acted as governor of Indiana Territory to 
the date of its admission as a state. 

His life was active and productive, the legitimate results 
of innate ability. In his sphere he was the equal of any 
of his contemporaries.

NEWMAN FAMILY OF VIEGINIA. 



The family name Newman is of the same origin as that 
of Newcome — "stranger newly arrived." It was originally 
spelled Nieuweman ; Latinized, Novus Homo. (See Patrony- 
mica Britannica, by Mark Antony Lower, page 237.) The 
original spelling would seem to indicate an Anglo-Saxon 
origin. 

Among the members of the family who came to Virginia 
and left their impress upon the eariy history of the colony 
were Robert, William, John, and Thomas Newman. They 
were, doubtless, relatives of John Newman, grocer, a member 
of the London Virginia Company in 1609, and in all prob- 
ability came to Virginia at his suggestion in order to better 
their fortunes. Their descendants are now scattered through- 
out the South and West ; many of them are prominent in the 
walks of social and business life, 

Mrst. Robert Newman arrived in Virginia in the ship 
" Furtherance," in 1618, aged 19 years. He was living in 
Elizabeth City county in 1624. On May 11, 1635, he ob- 
tained a patent for 450 acres of land, which he afterwards 
assigned to Richard Bennett. (See William and Mary College 
Quarterly, Vol. 9, page 139.) This is the earliest patent 
granted to any one of the name of which the compiler has 
record. 

Robert Newman undoubtedly married and left, with other 
children, two soris, William and John. William was living 
in York county in 1698. (See William and Mary Quarterly, 
Vol. 4, page 250.) It is believed that he married and was 
the father of John, who in 1709 was " summoned to answer a 

(237)

presentment of the grand jury against him for absenting him- 
self from Divine Servica" (York county records.) 

Second. John Newman, second son of Robert, married 
Ruth Taberer, daughter of Thomas, of Isle of Wight county. 
The will of Thomas Taberer, dated Jan. 14, 1692, and proven 
in 1699, refers to his **son" John Newman, and his grand- 
children, Thomas and Isabella Newman, to whom he leaves 
Basses' Choice. John Newman died about 1700; his will, 
bearing date Dec. 11, 1695, was proven in Isle of Wight 
county in 1700. In it he refers to his wife Ruth, and to his 
two children as son Thomas and daughter Isabella. 

Second. William Newman^ aged 35 years, arrived in 1622, 
in the ship " Furtherance *' (Vol. 7, William and Mary Quar- 
terly, page 218), and settled in Isle of Wight county, where, 
on Aug. 26, 1643, he was granted a patent for 550 acres 
of land, situated "Northerly towards the Sunken marsh, 
Easterly upon a swamp, Southerly towards the lower Chip- 
pokes Creek." (See William and Mary College Quarterly, 
Vol. 9, page 144.) 

In 1648, Sept. 25, George Codd confessed a judgment in 
favor of William Newman for 500 lbs. of tobacco, with costs, 
Ac, York county, Virginia. 

In 1658 "William Newman, as security for Gyles Thurloe, 
confesseth judgement to Capt. Gyles Brent for eighteen hun- 
dred pounds of sweet-scented tobacco and caske, which is 
ordered to be paid, with costs, &c.," York county, Virginia. 

In 1662 William Newman served as a juror at an inquest 
over the body of a woman " accidentally shot by the glance 
of a ball intended for a wild beast." Whether he was Wil- 
liam Sr. or William Jr., son of Robert, who was living in 
York county in 1698, or what relation existed between the 
two, the writer is not informed. (See William and Mary Col- 
lege Quarterly, VoJ. 4, page 250.) 

[The will of William Newman, Sr.; dated Jan. 20, 1669, 
was proven in York county court, July 25, 1670, leaving his 
wife Priscilla executrix ; from the will we infer he left no

issue, his wife having been a widow at their marriage, with 
an only daughter Joan, who married Lawrence of Compton- 
Chamberiin, in Wiltshire, England. 

Third. John Newman, aged 24 years, emigrated to Virginia 
in 1635 in the ship " Globe,'' and is believed to be the same 
John for whose transportation Capt. William Pearce was 
panted 50 acres of land the same year. (See presently.) 

Fowrth, Thomas Newman, the brother of John, came to Virginia 
in 1635 in the ship " Plaine Joan," aged 15 years. (See later.) 

First John Newman, as we have seen, emigrated to Vir- 
ginia in 1635, and settled in James City county, where on 
Apr. 1, 1644, Henry Thompson assigned to him one hundred 
and fifty acres of land, situated upon " Smith's Fort Creek, 
joining the lands of John Buckmaster, which was patented to 
the said Buckmaster, which patent was renewed to the said 
John Newman " in 1644 ; here he appears to have resided for 
about seven years, as between 1652 and 1677 he had acquired 
in the Northern Neck by letters patent, grant, and deeds, 
about 4000 acres of land, situated on both sides of Moratico 
Creek, in the present counties of Lancaster and Richmond. 
He resided near Tarplay's Point, then known as Moratico or 
Newman's Neck. He married, probably, a daughter of Paul 
Woodbridge (about 1655), in the then Rappahannock county. 
Issue: three children of whom we have record. His wife 
died before 1677, as she is not referred to in the will of her 
husband, who died during that year. His will proven at 
Tappahannock court house, Rappahannock county, shows 
him to have been a man of wealth, and refers to his children 
in the following order : 

1. Alexander, " my oldest son," barely of age in 1677. 

2. Samuel, a minor in 1677. 

3. John, a minor in 1677. 

Second Generation. 

First. Alexander Newman, 1st of John and his wife, nee

240 GLEANINGS OF VIRGINIA HISTORY. 

ander " of the Richmond county records, married Elizabeth 

, who was, probably, a kinswoman of the Brocken- 

broughs. He was a member of the House of Burgesses in 
1694, from Richmond county, and but for his death at the 
early age of 42, would probably have achieved much distinc- 
tion. His will, proven in 1698, in Richmond county, is lost 
with will book 1, but the records that have been preserved 
show that he left his property to his cousin, Thomas Newman, 
and to William Dunn ; that he was a wealthy man of much 
local prominence ; and that he inherited his father's passion 
for acquiring land. He left no issue. 

Second. Samuel Newman, 2d of John and his wife, nee 
Woodbridge, born about 1658, married , re- 
ceived his portion of his father's estate in tobacco, the money 
of those days. In 1687 he was granted 559 acres of land in 
Henrico county, and in 1690, 292 acres in the same county. 
The date of his marriage, the name of his wife, and the dates 
of their death are unknown to the writer ; lack of time has 
prevented a more thorough investigation of the records as to 
him and his family ; it is, however, certain that of his chil- 
dren there were the following sons : 

Third, John Newman, the third son and youngest child 
of John, the immigrant, and his wife, , nee Wood- 
bridge, bom , was a minor in 1679, as shown by a deed 

of his brother Alexander Newman to Paul Woodbridge, his 
guardian; is not mentioned in the records of old Rappa- 
hannock, Essex or Richmond counties after 1679 ; but the 
records of Lancaster county show that the land acquired by 
him under the will of his father was disposed of soon after he 
attained his majority. He is believed to have settled in 
Maryland, and to be the John Newman who was the pro- 
genitor of the Maryland branch of the family.*

Third Generation. 

First. Samuel Newman, 1st of Samuel, of John, the immi- 
grant, settled in the western portion of Spottsylvania county, 
and in 1748 he was administrator of the estate of his brother 
Jonathan, who died a resident of Augusta county. (See 

liber , Augusta county ; also. Liber 1, folios 100 and 

220, Shenandoah county, Va.). In August, 1757, Samuel 
obtained a patent for 210 acres of land in Augusta county ; 
he appears to have removed to Frederick county, and after 
the organization of Shenandoah he was a resident of said 
county. (No further record.) 

Second, Jonathan Newman, 2d of Samuel, of John the im- 
migrant, born in Lower Virginia, settled in Augusta county, 
where he married, , Mary . Issue, two children : 

1. John. 

2. Walter. 

Jonathan Newman died before Feb. 20, 1748, and after the 
settlement of his estate by his brother Samuel, his widow, 
with her two minor children, removed to Frederick county, 
now Shenandoah, where she married Mr. States, and where 
she was living in 1779. The records of Shenandoah county 
do not disclose any ftirther information concerning her or her 
second husband. 

Fourth Generation. 

First. John Newman, Ist of Jonathan and Mary, bom in 
Augusta county ; m. Hannah . No ftirther record. 

Fourth Generation. 

Second. Walter Newman, 2d of Jonathan and Mary, bom

*^ II. Thomas Newman. 

Thomas Newman, bom in England about 1620, emigrated 
to Virginia in the ship "Plaine Joan" in 1635, aged 15 
years ; probably settled with his brother John in James City 
county, Virginia, and moved with him to the Northern Neck. 
His name, however, does not appear upon any record until 
1677, when he made a deed to his son Thomas, conveying 
one-half of his real and personal property to the latter, who 
was about to be married. This deed, of record at Tappahan- 
nock, Virginia, is attested by Philip Pendleton. ' The immi- 
grant Thomas probably married a daughter of Henry Burdett, 
Sr., whose will, proven in 1695, in Richmond county, is now 
lost with Will Book 1 ; but the remaining records prove that 
he was executor of, and a devisee under the will. He died 
intestate, about the beginning of the year 1700, and his per- 
sonal estate was appraised at 16,577 pounds of tobacco. He 
probably had daughters ; the wives of Avery Nay lor, John 
McMelion (McMillan?), and Frances, wife of John Wilson, 
may have been among these. He certainly had but one son, 
Thomas, bom probably before 1656, and after the removal 
of his father to what is now Richmond county. 

Second Generation. 

* Thomas Newman, Jr., only son of Thomas the immigrant, 
bom in Virginia, is frequently mentioned in the records 
of Richmond county, and by will and descent acquired nearly 



NEWMAN FAMILY OP VIRGINIA. 247 

all the Newman property in the Northern Neck. He con- 
veyed Moi^atico to John Tarplay in 1700, and the deed shows 
that he lived in Littenboume (Littenboume parish), probably 
on the place given him by his father, and recites that the 
lands conveyed were given him by Capt. Alexander Newman, 
in his last will and testament. As, at the time of the latter's 
death, there were three Thomas Newmans in Richmond , 
county, to-wit : the immigrant, his son and grandson, Tarplay 
instituted an inquiry, in 1711, to ascertain who was the 
Thomas to whom Capt. Alexander Newman devised Moratico. 
This inquiry is of record at Warsaw and contains the testi- 
mony of Capt. Wm. Woodbridge, Wm. Fitzherbert, Dominick 
Benneham, Mrs. Winnifred GriflBn, and George Glasscock. 
The first testified that he had often heard Capt. Newman say 
that " if he died without issue he would give the plantation 
where he then lived to Thomas Newman, because it should 
not go out of the name of Newman," and that he was " that 
Thomas Newman who was reputed to have married the 
daughter of Mr. Elias Wilson, deceased." Fitzherbert testi- 
fied similarly, but changed the Captain's language so as to 
make him declare that he would give the land to Thomas' 
" to bear up the name of Newman," and identified him as 
'' the son of Thomas Newman, who lived across Rappahannock 
Creek." He died between 1704 and 1707, and left issue : 

\ 1. Alexander, bom 1678. 

2. George, 1 evidently twins, bom 1681, as both were minors 

3. John, / in 1701 and of age in 1702. 

4. Thomas, a minor in 1707. 

Third Geneeation. 

, First. Alexander Newman, 1st of Thomas, Jr., bought a 
large tract of land in 1699, in Lancaster county, formerly 
owned by John Newman, the immigrant, and by him devised 
to his son John ; upon this he built a stone mill which is still 
standing ; so says the clerk of the county Court. Alexander 



248 GLEANINGS OP VIRGINIA HISTORY. 

appears to have resided in Lancaster until about 1735, when, 
as " Alexander Newman, of St. Mark's Parish," he leased a 
tract of land in Orange county, on the south side of the 
Rapidan, of Alexander Spottswood, " for three lives, himself 
and his sons, Thomas and James." There is of record at 
Warsaw a deed, dated 1737, from "Alexander Newman of 
Orange County, Planter," to Landon Carter, conveying the 
tract of land devised by Henry Burdett, the elder, to Thomas 
Newman, and the court order showing the acknowledgment 
of the deed recites that Alexander was the heir at law of 
Thomas. Upon this tract Carter built his famous home, 
Sabine Hall ; at the time of the sale it seems to have been 
adversely held by JaneJThomas. Possibly the suit of Alex- 
ander Newman vs. Humphrey Thomas, abated by the latter's 
death in 1732, concerned this land. 

Alexander Newman was a member of the grand jury of 
Orange county in 1737, and is mentioned in several suits 
there, the last as late as 1760. He undoubtedly lived in what 
is now Culpeper county, and probably died soon after 1760. 
Between 1740 and 1750 he was engaged in a law suit in 
Richmond county with his wife Penelope, from whom he had 
separated. She obtained, finally, a judgment against him for 
maintenance and support; and Elias Wilson, evidently a 
kinsman, acknowledged himself surety for the payment of the 
money. The records disclose the names of three of his sons, viz : 

1. Elias. 

2. Thomas. 

\ 3. James, all probably bom between 1705 and 1715. 

FOUBTH GbNKRATION. 

^ First Elias Newman, 1st of Alexander, died in Essex 
county ; his will, of record at Tappahannock, Virginia, was 
proven in 1750, and names his wife Ann and the following

two sons :

tions wife Mary and a son not named, and is witnessed by

Nellie, nee Jett, died 1855. Her will, proven at Manassaa

loss of the records of Prince William county nothing further 
is known of him.

nally no direct evidence is of record, but the relationship is 
asserted by Jane's descendants, and is confirmed by the fact§ 
that Vivian Daniel was surety on the bond, given in 1783, by 
George Quisenberry in Orange county for his intermarriage 
with Jane Daniel, and that the will of Vivian's brother, John 
Daniel, made in 1785, and proven in Louisa county, is at- 
tested by Vivian Daniel, George Quisenberry, Jane Quisen- 
berry and Margaret Daniel. It is also noted that Jane named

Third. James Addison Newman, 3d of Beuben and Mary, 
nee Clark, born July 24, 1836, in Orange county ; was first 
lieutenant in the Montpelier Guards, of Orange, a company of 
Virginia militia engaged in the John Brown affair ; moyed to 
Clarke county, Alabama, soon after; was a contractor and 
builder; was, with a single exception, the only person, in 
Clarke county to vote against secession ; refused a commission 
in an Alabama command ; returned to Virginia and enlisted 
as a private soldier in Carter's company of artillery ; fought 
in the battles of the Army of Northern Virginia until May 12, 
1864, when he was wounded and captured at the " bloody 
angle" at Spottsylvania ; returned to Alabama after the war 
and engaged in farming ; died March 21, 1891. He married. 
Not. 10, 1863, Mrs. Elizabeth Coate, nee Boroughs, widow of 
Judge Henley W. Coate, of Alabama. She is the daughter of 
Thomas Boroughs and his wife, Rebecca Kimbell Morriss, 
both of North Carolina. Thomas was a son of Bryan Bor- 
oughs and his wife, Sally Waddell, both North Carolinians. 

Bryan was a son of James Boroughs and his wife, 

Bryan, both Virginians, who moved to North Carolina. 
James was a son of Zachariah Boroughs, of Virginia. The 
name Boroughs is frequently misspelled, the most common 
variant being Burroughs. Rebecca Kimbell Morriss was a 
daughter of John Morriss and his wife, Elizabeth Lee Arm- 
istead ; for her descent, see the genealogy of the Armistead 
family, by President Tyler, in the William and Mary Quar- 
terly. The children of James Addison Newman and Eliza- 
beth (Coate), nee Boroughs, were three : 

1. William Boroughs, b. May 30, 1866.

Sixth Generation. 

Eighth. James Newman, 8th and youngest child of Alex- 
ander and Frances, nee Bourne, bom about 1784 ; is not men- 
tioned in the will of his brother George, 1802, and is believed 
to have died before his majority; unmarried. In 1798 
** James, son of Fannie, of Orange," was apprenticed to learn 
carpenter's trade, in Orange county. 

Fipth Generation. 

Second. Reuben Newman, 2d of Thomas, of Orange, and 
Elizabeth, nee Morton, and grandson of Alexander, bom in 
Orange county, about 1742 ; died 1825, unmarried. From 
his will, dated Aug. 20, 1819, proven Aug. 27, 1826, recorded 
in Liber 6, folio 271, at Orange Court House, we infer he was 
what the world calls successful in business, as he left a large 
estate to Henry Hill, alias Henry Newman, and his wife. 

Henry Hill, alias Newman, settled in the South, perhaps 
Mississippi, where he left a family of children. No further 
record. 

Third. Abner Newman, 3d of Thomas, of Orange, and 
Elizabeth, nee Morton, and grandson of Alexander, bom in 
Orange county in 1756 ; married Hester Mauzy, daughter 
of Henry and Ann, nse Withers, of Fauquier county, son of 
John and Hester, nee Foote, of StaflFord county ; son of Henry, 
Sr., the emigrant, and his wife. Miss Conger, daughter of Dr. 
Conger, of England. Henry Mauzy, Sr., a French Huguenot, 
fled from France in 1685 : upon the revocation of the Edict 
of Nantes, escaped to England, where he married, and where 
his son Henry was bom, about 1690 ; emigrated to Virginia 
between the year 1697 and 1700 ; settled in StaflFord county, 
where he at once acquired about fifteen hundred acres of land. 
(See Mauzy Records, by Wm. F. Boogher.) Abner Newman 
lived in Culpeper, Fauquier and Shenandoah counties. He 
was pensioned as a private soldier April 9, 1824, as a resident 
of Shenandoah county, aged 68 years. (See rej)ort of Secre- 



NEWMAN FAMILY OP VIRGINIA. 279 

tary of War of June, 1834, Pension Establishment of the U. S. 
for the State of Virginia, page 98.) Abner was sheriflF for 
Shenandoah county. He appears to have removed fix)m 
Fauquier about 1788, as in this year he records a deed of sale 
for all his lands in the county. Of the children of Abner 
Newman and Hester, nee Mauzy, but little is known; it is 
believed, however, that with others, William, who married 
Miss Tucker, in 1804, in Culpeper county; Alexander, who 
married Peggie Douglass, in 1806, in Rockingham county, 
and Abner, who married Eliza Comaga, in 1824, in Culpeper 
county, were his sons. The dates of his death and that of his 
wife and children are unknown to the writer. After 1824 he 
probably removed to Rockingham county with his son Alex- 
ander, where he spent the remainder of his life ; but owing to 
the partial destruction of the records of this county during the 
Civil War, no further mention has been found of him or his 
children. 

Fourth Generation. 

Third. James Newman, 3d and youngest child of Alex- 
ander, of Orange, son of Thomas, Jr., son of Thomas the 

emigrant, bom between 1705 and 1715 ; married ; is 

believed to have had at least three sons and a daughter : 



1. Thomas, b, 

2. Robert, b. 
8. James, b. 
4. Elizabeth, b. 



Fifth Generation. 

Fird. Thomas Newman, 1st of James, 3d of Alexander, 
settled perhaps in Berkeley county, Va., as in 1778 he recorded 
a deed at Martinsburg conveying certain lands to Elizabeth 
Newman, who was either his mother or sister. He was exec- 
utor of his brother Robert's will, proven Sept. 27, 1819, in 
Hardy county, now West Virginia. 



280 GLEANINGS OF VIBGINIA HISTO&T. 

Second. Robert Newman, 2d of James, 3d of Alexander, 

of Orange, bom ; married, 1789, Elizabeth Latham, 

in Culpeper county. In January, 1816, he appears to have 
been in Alleghany county, Maryland. On Sept. 27, 1819, 
his will was proven in Hardy county. It was dated March 
18, 1813, and is recorded in Liber 2 of Wills, folio 59. He 
left his wife Elizabeth all estate during her widowhood. His 
brother Thomas was executor and brother James one of the 
witnesses. From the sales of his personal estate, recorded in 
Liber 2, folio 305, he appears to have had two sons, Gadsby 
and Edgar, the latter a minor in 1820, and a daughter Nancy, 
also a minor. 

Sixth Generation. 

Gadsby Newman, son of Robert and Elizabeth, nee Latham, 
bom in Culpeper county ; settled with his parents in Hardy 
county. On Sept. 3, 1824, he married Elizabeth Reed ; died 
early in life. His estate was settled May 15, 1833, Liber 6, 
folio — , Hardy county records. No further record. 

Second. Edgar Newman, 2d of Robert and Elizabeth, nee 
Latham, was living in Hardy county in 1833, as his name 
appears as a purchaser at the sale of his brother's personal 
estate. No further record. 

Fifth Generation. 

Third. James Newman, 3d of James, 3d of Alexander, 

of Orange, born ; married, , 1789, Mary Early, in 

Culpeper county ; was living in Hardy county in 1813, where 
he witnessed the will of his brother Robert Whether he was 
the same James who, with his wife Nancy, made a deed to 
lands in Culpeper in 1805 is not known. 

Third Generation. 

Second. George Newman, 2d of Thomas, Jr., son of Thomas 

the immigrant, born ; married Elizabeth ; died

Third. John Newman, 8d son of Thomas, Jr., and twin 
brother of George, married Eliza (probably) Burdett. The 
will of Henry Burdett, Jr., at Warsaw, proven in 1724, leaves 
his property to John Newman and his wife Eliza, Thomas 
Thornton and his wife Susanna, and Humphrey Thomas and 
his wife Jane ; the relationship is not stated. John Newman 
died in 1759, intestate. Issue, three children :

of Richmond county, where he was bom ; married 

Elizabeth Deane, daughter of John, of Richmond county; 
moved to Prince William county about 1760. Owing to the 
partial destruction of the records of Prince William county 
during the Civil War, no satisfactory information of his 
descendants has been obtained. 

Third. Thomas Newman, 3d of John and Eliza, nee Bur- 
dett, of Richmond county, where he was bom ; is be- 
lieved to have moved to York county, where he was clerk 
of the courts and deputy sheriflF after the Revolution. He is 
mentioned in the will of his brother George. 



The Newman Genealogy is based upon facts in the posses- 
sion of Mr. William B. Newman, of Talladega, Alabama, 
taken from family and various county records, liber and folio, 
as stated ; also upon researches made by the compiler at his 
request. Mr. Newman intends preparing a genealogy of the 
descendants of John and Thomas Newman, Englishmen, and 
this sketch is inserted by his permission. 

He will welcome any corrections, as well as new matter, and 
is especially anxious that dates be given, where possible, with 
as much biographical matter as can be had from the records, 
family Bibles, and other credible sources of information. 



NOTES OP HUGH THOMAS. 283 

HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL NOTES OF HUGH 
THOMAS, OF WESTMORELAND CO., VA. 

Hugh Thomas, of Westmoreland county, Va., was bom 
about 1663-4 in Charles county, Maryland. His father Hugh 
immigrated to the province of Maryland in the spring of 
1661, as will appear from a demand made on the Lord Pro- 
prietor for lands by Robert Slye, June 18, 1661, for transport- 
ing the said Hugh Thomas. Liber 4, folio 555, Land oflBce 
of Maryland. 

April 19, 1666, Hugh Thomas, Sr., had assigned and 
patented to him 600 acres of land, called Rich Hill, on the 
west side of the Wicomico river, in Charles county, Md. See 
rent roll for said county, liber 1, folio 37, Land office, Md.; 
and on June 20, 1675, a patent for 83 acres, called Thomas's 
Addition to Rich Hill; April 14, 1681, 100 acres, called 
Fortune. 

In Nov., 1681, Hugh Thomas was a member of the grand 
jury for Charles county, liber 1-8, folio 174. 

About 1662-3 he married Ann in Charles county ; 

issue, three sons of whorn we have record ; Hugh bom about 
1663 ; John bom 1664-5 ; and James about 1666. 

On Nov. 13, 1684, Hugh Thomas, Sr., sold his Rich Hill 
plantation to John Harrison, Gentleman, of Charles county ; 
consideration, 13,000 lbs. of Merchantable tobacco, his wife 
Ann joining in this deed, liber L, No. 1, folio 53, Charles 
county record. At this date his son John is possessed by 
deed of gift from his father of the 100 acres called Fortune ; 
See Rent roll No. 2, folio 328 for said county. 

Hugh Thomas died in 1688 in Charles county. See letters 
Testamentary, Provincial, Annapolis, Md. 

His son, Hugh, Jr., the subject of this notice, was bom as 
above stated, about 1663, and settled early in life in Cople 
Parish, Westmoreland county, Va., where he married Ann 
, and where he died in July, 1718, leaving his widow 



284 GLBANINOS OF VIBQINIA HISTORY. 

Ann and two minor sons, Hugh and Daniel surviving. His 
will is dated Nov. 6, 1717 ; proven July 30, 1718 ; wife Ann, 
executrix, filed her inventory Sept. 8, 1718. In Sept., 1719, 
Mrs. Ann Thomas died intestate, as on Sept. 30, 1719, a com- 
mission was appointed to appraise her estate with her brother- 
in-law, John Thomas, as administrator. He reported the 
amount of appraisement to the court Dec. 16, 1719, and was 
appointed guardian of his two nephews, Hugh and Daniel, 
as per the will of their father. 

Third Generation. 

Mrst Hugh Thomas, 1st of Hugh, Gentleman, of West- 
moreland county, Va., and Ann his wife, was bom about 
1705, in Cople Parish, where he married about 1730-5, Mary 
Carr, daughter of William. See will of William Carr, liber 3, 
folio 125, proven 1702, Westmoreland county record. Re- 
ferring to his two infant children, Joseph and Mary, also a 
deed of gift of 100 acres of land by Joseph Carr for love and 
affection to his sister Mary, now wife of Hugh Thomas, dated 
June 12, 1735. See also deed to Hugh and Daniel Thomas 
for love and affection from their uncle James, dated June 30, 
1735, in which they are called his nephews. 

In 1744 Hugh Thomas and Mary, his wife, deeded the 100 
acres received by gift from Joseph Carr to Daniel Tibbs ; con- 
sideration, 9,000 lbs. of Merchantable tobacco, and 8 £ of Va. 
money. Mary Thomas, nee Carr, appears to have died about 
1745-50, as her name does not occur in any deeds after 1744. 
Her husband, Hugh Thomas No. 3, remained a resident free- 
holder in Westmoreland county until 1764, this being the 
date of his last deed of record in that county. After this he 
settled with his uncle John and brother Daniel in Prince 
William county, where he is believed to have died ; but owing 
to the partial destruction of the records of Prince William, 
there being neither will nor intestate to be found, the date of 
his death and the names of his children have not been 
ascertained. 



NOTES OF HUGH THOMAS. 285 

Second. Daniel Thomas, 2d and youngest child of Hugh, 

Jr., and Ann, his wife, of Westmoreland county, bom about 

1706-7, married, in Westmoreland county, his first cousin, 

Catherine Thomas, daughter of his uncle James. See will of 

"^Iames Thomas. 

March 11, 1728, he and his brother Hugh secured a warrant 
for 300 acres of land in StaflFord county, and Nov. 16, 1731, 
for 667 acres in Prince William. These lands were subse- 
quently divided between the brothers by order of court. 

All their lands were, subsequent to 1742, in Fairfax county. 
As evidence that Daniel had settled in that county, it is 
shown by the records that as a free-holder he voted in 1744 
for Capt. Lawrence Washington and Capt. Lewis EUzey for 
the House of Burgesses. He continued to reside in this 
county up to 1767, his name appearing to that date as a suc- 
cessful plaintiff in a number of suits at law. 

Early in 1757 he filed a suit in equity against his uncle 
John and wife Elizabeth; but when the suit was called in 
the autumn of the same year, the attorney for the defense re- 
ported both defendants as dead. 

On March 12, 1757, Daniel Thomas sold to William Bayly, 
of Fairfax county, 333^ acres of land, his half of the 667 
granted Nov. 16, 1731, to him and his brother Hugh. Liber 
A, folio 149, Fairfax county record. 

April 15, 1763, account book of Fairfax county : An agree- 
ment between Daniel Thomas and William Bayly. This is 
the last entry of said Daniel Thomas in Fairfax county. He 
is believed to have removed to Prince William county, where 
again the loss of records prevents positive information of him 
or his descendants. The will of his wife's father, James, 
proven in 1742 in Westmoreland county, makes positive 
reference to his grandson, William Thomas, the son of his 
daughter Catherine. This William appears later to have 
figured in Prince William and Orange counties.

Second Generation. 

Second. John Thomas, 2d of Hugh of Charles county, Md., 
and Ann, his wife, bom about 1664-5, was a planter. He 
received by deeds of gift fix)m his father 100 acres of land 
called Fortune, in Charles county, Md., where he doubtless 
married his first wife . 

After the death of his parents in Md., and prior to 1717, he 
settled in Westmoreland county, Va., where he probably mar- 
ried Elizabeth, daughter of Nicholas Spencer, about 1718, as 
her brother John Spencer records a deed of gift for love and 
affection in 1718 to 60 acres of land with house and orchard, 
etc., to John Thomas and wife Elizabeth. It appears from 
the records that after settling up the estate of his brother 
Hugh as administrator de bonis non, and that of his widow Ann 
in 1719, he removed to that part of Stafford county, which after 
1730 was Prince William, and after 1742 to Fairfax county, 
with his two wards, Hugh and Daniel Thomas, nephews, and 
sons of his brother Hugh. There he was the owner of several 
tracts of land. The last mention of him is in 1755 in the 
case of the suit by his nephew Daniel at Fairfax Court House 
previously referred to. 

Third. James Thomas, 3d of Hugh, of Charles county, 
Md., and Ann, hi&wife, bom about 1666-7; settled early in 
life in Westmoreland county, Va., where, after 1700, he mar- 
ried Sarah . From 1728 until his death in 1742 he 

was surveyor for Lord Fairfax and for the county of West- 
moreland. He was possessed of a large landed estate : Sept. 
17, 1705, a northern Neck deed for 729 acres in Richmond 
county ; March 8, 1727, 1,728 acres in Stafford county ; Oct. 
30, 1728, 1,450 acres in Stafford county ; Aug. 6, 1781, 1,504 
acres in Prince William county. June 20, 1735, he records a 
deed of gift to his two nephews, Hugh and Daniel Thomas, ou 
the Yeocomac river, in the parish of Cople, county of West- 
moreland. He died November, 1742 ; his will, bearing date 
Feb. 10, 1742, was proven Dec. 1, 1742. In which he names his 



NOTES OF HUGH THOMAS. 287 

children in the following order : Sons — James, George, John ; 
daughters — Winnifred Thomas, Elizabeth Thomas; his grand- 
son William Thomas, the son of his daughter Catherine, wife 
of Daniel Thomas; daughter Hannah Thomas, daughter 
Sarah Jennings, to whom he leaves his lands, etc., and appoints 
his son John executor and residuary legatee, he to provide for 
his mother Sarah during the remainder of her life. 

Third Gbnbration. 

Mrd. James Thomas, 1st of James and Sarah, bom in 
Westmoreland county, died in 1743. His estate personal was 
appraised at £12 11 shillings and 6 pence ; settled in open 
court 1743. (See Court Docket, Westmoreland county.) In 
'this account neither wife nor children are referred to. 

Second. George Thomas, son of James and Sarah, bom in 

Westmoreland county; married Eleanor ; died in 

Prince William county January, 1781. His will, bearing 
date Jan. 1st, 1781, was proven Feb. 5, 1781. In it reference 
is made to three sisters : Elizabeth Latheram, Ann Winnifred, 
and Nancy Thomas, to whom he left legacies. To his wife 
Eleanor he bequeathed the bulk of his estate and appointed 
her executrix. (Liber G, folio 107, Prince William record.) 
The inventory of his estate was reported to the court at 
£13,985 10 shillings sterling money. From the verbiage 
of his will no information can be gathered as to his children. 

Third, John Thomas, son of James, of Cople Parish, West- 
moreland county, where he was born, received, by the will 
of his fetther, a large tract of land in Prince William county, 
known as the Sugar Lands. He also purchased several tracts, 
one from John Foster and wife in Prince William county ; 
consideration £66(T Va. money. (Liber Z, folio 166.) 

After 1 742, the date of the formation of Fairfax county 
from Prince William, he became a freeholder of Fairfax 
<x>unty. On March 27, 1750, he recorded a deed for several 



288 GLEANINGS OF VIRGINIA HISTOBY. 

negroes in favor of his mother Sarah ; consideration, £60 Vir- 
ginia money. (Liber C, folio 6.) This is the last entry we 
find in Fairfax county of either John Thomas or his mother. 



Addendum. — Hugh Thomas, of Frederick county, Md., 
from whom descended Governor Francis Thomas, deceased, 
was in no wise, as has been claimed, a relative of Hugh 
Thomas, gentleman, of Westmoreland county, Va. 

Governor Francis Thomas, deceased, was a descendant of a 
Hugh Thomas who was bom in Pennsylvania, and who about 
1733 settled in Prince George (later Frederick) county, Md. 

The descendants of Hugh Thomas, of Frederick county, Md., 
will be treated in a similar volume devoted to Maryland.

HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL NOTES OF WIL- 
LIAM CRAIG, OF AUGUSTA COUNTY, VIRGINU, 
AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 

According to a brief memoir of his family left by William 
Craig, of Mt. Meridian, Va., grandson and namesake of the 
immigrant, William Craig and Jean his wife, landed in 
America from the north of Ireland in the year 1721-22 with 
three sons, Robert, James and John. He first settled in Penn- 
sylvania in what is now either Lancaster or Chester county, 
and thence removed with his family to Augusta county, Va. 

The date of his removal is not definitely known. Robert, 
the eldest son, seems to have been the first of the family to 
leave Pennsylvania. His name appears in Captain John 
Smith's company of militia in Augusta in the year 1742. 
(See January number, 1901, Virginia Magazine of History & 
Biography.) The baptismal register of the Rev. John Craig, 
now in the library of Gen. John E. Roller, of Harrisonburg, 
Va., shows that John, son of Robert Craig, was baptized 
March 15, 1741, so that it may be fairly inferred that he re- 
moved to Augusta in the summer or fall of 1740. He will 
be mentioned again in the course of this sketch. 

William Craig, the immigrant, and the rest of his family, 
are believed to have removed from Pennsylvania to Virginia 
in the year 1744. This is inferred from the fact that Sarah, 
daughter of James, second son of William, was bom, accord- 
ing to Bible record, Feb. 1, 1743, and baptized by the Rev. 
John Craig, Oct. 21, 1744. It would seem that her baptism 
would have occurred at an earlier period had her father been 
in Augusta much prior to this date. In addition to this, 
James Craig did not take title to lands until Feb. 10, 1745, 
when Wm. Thompson conveyed to him 305 acres of land 
"lying in Augusta county, Va., on the northwest side of 
Middle River near Shenandoe." This deed is recorded in 
liber 1, page 30, of the Augusta county land records. 



NOTES OF WILLIAM CRAIQ. 293 

From these facts the inference may be drawn that Wm. 
Craig, his wife Jean, and his two sons, James and John, re- 
moved from their home in Pennsylvania to Augusta county, 
Va., in the spring or summer of 1744. 

The land records at Richmond, Orange and Staunton, do 
not show any conveyances to Wm. Craig, yet by his will 
dated Feb. 21, 1756, and recorded at Staunton, Nov. 26, 
1759, he devises two-fifths of his landed estate to his " dearly 
beloved wife Janet (diminutive for Jean), to do with as she 
chooses," and one-fifth of the remainder to each of his sons, 
Robert, James and John. Evidently his lands had been ac- 
quired by purchase and his deeds were not recorded, which 
was quite a common practice in the early settlement of the 
Valley. 

But little is known of his life beyond the fact that he was a 
Scotch-Irish Covenanter Presbyterian. The tradition among 
his descendants is that he and his family aided in building 
the old Stone Church in Augusta, and for generations his 
posterity have been among the most devoted adherents of that 
historic congregation. He was bom between the years 1685 
and 1690, judging from the date of James's birth, which was 
in 1714-15. His wife Jean (or Janet) was evidently still liv- 
ing in 1759, but nothing is known of her further history nor 
of the date of her death. She was, beyond question, of the 
same race from which h6 sprung, and was doubtless a worthy 
helpmate of the man who was among the pioneer Scotch emi- 
grants to America. 

As to the children of William and Janet, his wife, and their 
descendants, full information is not in the possession of the 
writer, but enough is known to form the basis of future 
research. 

1. The history of Robert and his descendants is almost 
entirely unknown to the other branches descending from Wil- 
liam and Janet Craig. It was long believed that he had re- 
moved from Augusta county to the Holston river country 
about the year 1765, when a large number of persons went 



294 GLEANINGS OP VIRGINIA HISTORY. 

from Augusta to that section. There are many Craigs in that 
portion of Virginia, among whom Robert is a common bap- 
tismal name, and Craig county is named for a member of this 
family. But the will of a Robert Craig, who died in 1788, 
has recently been discovered at Staunton, and the description 
of his lands indicates that he lived in the same general neigh- 
borhood where John and James resided. He names his sons 
John and Robert, and daughters Ann and Rebecca. The will 
indicates that there were other sons and daughters, but he 
does not name them. 

It is now believed that this Robert was the eldest son 
of William the immigrant, but nothing is definitely known 
of his descendants. There are Craigs living in various coun- 
ties of West Virginia who trace their ancestry to Augusta 
county in an uncertain way, and it is highly probable that 
this branch are descendants of Robert, eldest son of William 
the immigrant. 

2. James, second son of William and Janet, was bom in 
the latter part of 1714, or in 1715, probably the latter year, 
in the north of Ireland, and came as a mere boy with his 
parents to America in 1721-2. His Bible is now in the 
possession of the family of the late Rev. Dr. J. N. Craig, 
of Atlanta, Ga. The family record states that James Craig 
died Feb. 7, 1791, in his 76th year,' and according to family 
tradition his death resulted from an accident at his mill on 
South river. He married Mary Laird, who died Feb. 20, 
1785, in her 70th year. Her family were also among the 
pioneer settlers of Augusta. 

As previously stated, James Craig acquired his first lands on 
Middle river, opposite the present village of Mount Meridian, 
and there he probably resided for some years. At a later 
period he removed to a tract of land on South river which he 
had acquired, and resided there until his death. A portion 
of this tract is now owned by Charles S. Patterson, his great- 
grandson, who lives where his ancestor died. 



NOTES OP WILLIAM CBAIG. 295 

James Craig led a busy life among his pioneer Scotch-Irish 
neighbors. He built, at an early date, the flouring and saw- 
mill on South river, in which he finally met with the accident 
that caused his death. Some of his account books have been 
preserved, and the entries therein indicate that none of the 
business sagacity of his race was lacking in him. He acquired 
a large landed estate, by patent and purchase, lying in the 
forks of Middle and North rivers, on South river, and between 
Middle river and the last named stream. 

He appears, from the courts-martial record now in the office 
of the Hustings court clerk of Staunton, to have been a private 
militiaman in Captain John Givens' company of militia dur- 
ing the entire period of the Revolutionary War. But he was 
far beyond military age when the Revolution began, and is 
not believed to have seen active service to any extent, if at all. 
His sons and daughters were given the best educations obtain- 
able in Augusta at that period, and his memory is preserved 
among his great-grandchildren who still survive as a man 
of strong convictions as to the right or wrong of things and 
uncompromising in his opinions when formed with reference 
to any subject. 

His children were : 

1. Sarah, bom Feb. 1, 1743, probably in Pennsylvania. 
Married, first, to Mr. Thorpe, of Augusta, and second to James 
Ely, having one son by each marriage. She removed to Ken- 
tucky shortly after her second marriage and settled in Lincoln 
county. Some of her descendants live in the vicinity of 
Frankfort, among them being Dr. James Ely, a prominent 
physician of that place. 

A daughter of Jas. Ely and Sarah Craig, his wife, named 
Chloe, married her cousin, Harry Cowan, and had two sons, 
one of whom was named John. He was a graduate of Centre 
. College, a lawyer by profession, a member of the Kentucky 
legislature, colonel of the 19th Kentucky volunteers (Union) 
in the Civil War, and was distinguished for gallantry. His 
first wife was Carrie Anderson, granddaughter of Governor 



296 aLBANINGS OF VIRGINIA HISTORY. 

Owsley, of Kentucky, and his second wife was Mra Davis ; 
both dead ; no issue. 

The youngest son of Harry Cowan and Chloe Ely, his wife, 
is Dr. George Cowan, of Danville, Ky. He married, first, his 
cousin, Letitia Craig, who died young, leaving one son. Dr. 
Harry J. Cowan, of Danville, Ky., who was one of the finest 
surgeons and physicians of his state. He died in 1900, at the 
untimely age of 38, universally regretted by all who knew 
his worth as a man and skill in his chosen profession. 

2. James, bom July 23, 1746 ; married Jean Stuart, of 
Augusta. His will was probated June 22, 1807, at Staunton, 
and in it he names his wife, Jean, and the following children : 
John, James, Samuel, George, William, Elijah, Robert, Sarah, 
Betsy, Agnes, Jane and Mary, wife* of John McQill. This 
James Craig, along with his brother William, inherited that 
portion of their father's estate which lay between the forks of 
Middle and North Rivers. He lived on the northwest side of 
the former stream, a short distance below Mount Meridian. 
Comparatively little is known at this time of his descendants, 
but most of them are believed to have gone west. 

John, the eldest son, died in 1840 near Weyer's Cave, 
Augusta county, Va. If he left issue they are unknown to 
the writer. 

Samuel, the third son of James, resided for many years at 
Craigville, in the western part of Augusta, and his descend- 
ants are still in that vicinity. 

William, his fifth son, is believed to have married in 
Augusta, Elizabeth Mills, in 1804, and to have removed to 
Kentucky, where his descendants are probably to be found. 

Elijah, the sixth son, removed to Richmond Virginia, and 
his descendants reside in that city and Manchester, Virginia. 

Sarah married John C. Hamilton, of Christian's Creek, and 
the will of Jean Craig, nee Stuart, wife of this second James, 
which was probated in Augusta county, Va., January 27, 
1817, refers to her daughter, Nancy Hamilton. This daugh- 
ter is not specifically named in the will of her father, and it is 



NOTES OF WILLIAM CRAIO. 297 

probable that one of the daughters bore a double name, which 
was not mentioned by him in his will. Andrew Hamilton, 
of Christian's Creek, married this Nancy Craig, who was, be- 
yond question, the daughter of James and Jean Stuart Craig. 
These Hamiltons were brothers and grandsons of the Rev. 
John Craig, the Pioneer Presbyterian minister of Augusta. 

3. Samuel, bom June 26, 1746, removed to Kentucky in 
1778 or 1779, and acquired a large tract of land in the Hang- 
ing Fork of Dicks River, in Lincoln county. The name of 
his wife is not known to the writer. He had, among other 
children, a son named Samuel, who married Miss Gaines, 
daughter of Richard Gaines, of Lincoln county, Va., and a 
daughter who married a Masterson. Samuel Craig and his 
wife. Miss Gaines, had a large family of children, among 
them being Dr. John Craig, the most celebrated physician of 
his day in central Kentucky, and Richard Gaines Craig, a 
captain in the Mexican War. Samuel Craig, Sr., died Sept. 
26, 1795. 

4. John, bom Nov. 21, 1747, and died on his 25th birthday, 
Nov. 21, 1772 ; unmarried. 

5. Oeorgcy was bom Jan. 4, 1749, and died Nov. 26, 1801. 
He married, Dec. 16, 1790, Elizabeth Evans, of Augusta, 
who died April 29, 1801. George inherited the home place 
of his father on South River, directly opposite the railroad 
station known as Harriston, on the Norfolk & Western Rail- 
road. The children of George Craig and Elizabeth Evans, 
his wife, who reached maturity were : 

(a) James, who married a Miss Crawford, of Augusta, and 
removed to Missouri early in the nineteenth century. Three 
of his sous served as soldiers in the Confederate Army. 

(b) Mary, married John A. Patterson, of Augusta, who was 
long a member of the county court of that county under the 
old system. Among their children are Messrs. Chas. S. Pat- 
terson, who married Miss Hopkins, of Rockingham, and re- 
sides at the old homestead of James Craig, Sr.; James A. Pat- 
terson, who married Miss Poague, sister of Mrs. Gen. James 



298 QLBANINOS OP VIRGINIA HISrOBY. 

A. Walker; and BeDJamin G. Patterson, deceased, of Har- 
risonburg, Va., who served as a captain of cavalry in the 
Confederate Army, and as a member of the Virginia House 
of Delegates. 

(c) Margaret, who married Samuel Patterson and lived a 
long and honored life in Augusta. Among her children were 
the late Samuel Patterson, of Fisherville, John A. Patterson, 
who resides in New Hope, Va., and Wm. Patterson, who was 
one of the most successful and prosperous business men of 
Augusta. 

(d) George, youngest child of George Craig and Elizabeth 
Evans, his wife, was bom April 29, 1801, at the old home- 
stead of James Craig, senior, and died in Pocahontas county, 
West Virginia, Oct. 9, 1846. He married, in 1824, Matilda 
Guthrie, and had issue as follows : 

(1) Margaret Ann, married Robert I. Crawford, and lived 
for many years in Louisville, Ky., where she died March 19, 
1892, leaving issue as follows : George M., Newton G., Hugh 
Brown Craig, and Rev. Alexander W. Crawford. 

(2) Caroline Elizabeth, married Mr. John W. Warwick, 
of Pocahontas county, West Virginia. Issue. 

(3) John Newton Craig, a Presbyterian minister and Doctor 
of Divinity, chaplain in thp Confederate army, and for many 
years secretary of the home mission work of the Southern 
Presbyterian Church. He spent the last years of his life in 
Atlanta, Ga., and died suddenly in the month of October, 
1900, while addressing the Virginia Synod at Newport News, 
Va., in reference to the work under his charge. He married 
Miss Lydia Brevard Harris, of Cabarrus county, N. C. Her 
great-grandfather was Col. Robert Harris, a signer of the 
Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, who lost an arm 
at Guilford Court House. Issue, who live in Atlanta, Ga. 

(4) Hugh Brown Craig was born in 1837, and graduated 
from Washington College in 1858. He served as adjutant 
of Edgar's 26th Virginia Battalion in the Civil War. His 
command was placed on Gen. Lee's extreme right at the 



NOTES OP WILLIAM CBAIG. 299 

battle of Cold Harbor, June 3, 1864. In the assault made 
that day upon Gen. Lee, this portion of his line was tempo- 
rarily broken and Adjutant Craig was killed with the battalion 
colors in his hand while rallying the men, the color guard 
having all been killed or wounded. He is buried at old 
Tinkling Spring Church, in Augusta. 

6. William, was bom Jan. 8, 1750, and died Sept. 8, 1829. 
He married, in 1778, Jean Anderson, daughter of John An- 
derson, who was among the first settlers of Augusta and a 
member of the first county court upon the organization of that 
county in 1745. John Anderson was also one of the first 
elders of the old Stone Church. Jean was bom in 1744, and 
was baptized April 29th of that year by the Rev. John Craig, 
and died June 9, 1811. This William Craig, who preserved 
the record of his family mentioned previously, was a man 
of much solid worth and great integrity of character. He did 
not seek public position, although well qualified by education 
to take a leading part in the affairs of his county. He inher- 
ited one-half of his father's estate, which lay between the 
junction of Middle and North rivers, and his home was on the 
former stream, directly opposite the present village of Mount 
Meridian. A portion of his estate has been owned in more 
recent years by the late Robert S. Hamsberger. The records 
of the courts-martial of Augusta, previously referred to, show 
that William Craig served during the War of the Revolution 
as a private militiaman from 1778 to 1781, in the company 
of Captain John Givens, who lived on Middle river imme- 
diately adjoining his home. This company saw active service 
during the Revolution, especially in the year 1781, when it 
was marched to lower Virginia, and was in the battle of 
Jamestown. The courts-martial record referred to also shows 
that Captain Givens* company was ordered to rendezvous 
September 20, 1781, under Lieutenant-Colonel Samuel Vance, 
of Augusta. Palmer's Calendar of Virginia State Papers^ 
volume 1, page 514, shows that Colonel Vance (incorrectly 
spelled Varn) was, on October 1, 1781, encamped four miles 



300 GLEANINGS OP VIRGINIA HISTORY. 

below Williamsburg, in lower Virginia. This command was 
then on its way to Yorktown, in the siege of which it par- 
ticipated. 

George and James, Jr., brothers of William, were also sol- 
diers in the same company, and it is fair to assume that all 
of them, being of military age, saw full service in the company 
to which they belonged. 

Jean Anderson, the wife of William Craig, was the widow 
Allen when she married him, her first husband, Lieutenant 
Hugh Allen, having been killed in the Indian battle of Point 
Pleasant in 1774. By her first marriage she had three sons, 
John, William and Hugh Allen, who removed to Kentucky 
in 1784 with their kinspeople, the Trimbles and others, and 
their d^cendants are numerous in that State to this day. 

The children of William Craig and Jean Anderson were 
(four): 

(1) Jean, born April 17, 1779, and died June 6, 1850. She 
married, June 25, 1799, James Patterson, of South River, born 
Sept. 18, 1772, and died Dec. 29, 1845. Issue, ten children, 
as follows : 

Anne, born March 28, 1800; died in infancy; Nancy, 
born Nov. 7, 1802; Jean, bom March 15, 1805; William, 
bom July 3, 1807 ; Martha Allen, bom Dec. 26, 1809 ; Mar-

bom Jan. 12, 1816; Mary, bom August 20, 1819; and 
Samuel, born August 18, 1821. The descendants of James 
and Jean Craig Patterson are numerous in Augusta and 
Rockingham counties, Virginia, while some are to be found 
in the West. 

(2) James, bom April 17, 1781 ; died March 27, 1863 ; 
married, first, his cousin, Susan Bell, daughter of Major Wm. 
Bell, of Augusta. One child of this marriage reached matur- 
ity, the late Jos. Davis Craig, of Mount Meridian, who was a 
member of the county court of Augusta under the old system, 
and later a member of the Virginia House of Delegates; His 
wife was Elizabeth Walker, daughter of Alexander Walker,

of Mt Meridian, and sister of Gen. James A. Walker, com- 
mander of the Stonewall Brigade during the Civil War. Two 
sons were bom to Jos. D. and Elizabeth Walker Craig, his 
wife ; James Alexander, who married Susan Kemper Butler 
and represented Rockbridge county for several consecutive 
terms in the Virginia House of Delegates, and Wm. Bell, who 
married a Miss Brownlee and died without issue^ 
^ James Craig married, second, Sept. 29, 1826, Martha Burton, 
bom May 31, 1794, and died Jan. 1, 1851. She was the 
daughter of May Burton, Jr., of Orange county, Va., captain 
in the war of the Revolution, lay reader of old Orange Epis- 
copal Church for many years, and member of the county 
court of Orange, and high sheriff of the county in 1810-12. 
May Burton, Jr., married Sarah Head, daughter of Benjamin

tion. The following children were bom to James and Martha

James Craig, like his father, had no fondness for public life, 
although in politics he was an uncompromising Whig. He 
served for many years as an elder of the Old Stone Church, 
which is situated about seven miles from his residence. His 
beautiful estate lay directly in the forks of Middle and North 
rivers, and his home was always the seat of gracious hospital-

ity. He lived a long and honored life, and died with the 
rogrot of all who knew him, especially the poor, to whom he 
had always given freely of the bounty with which the Lord 
had blessed him. He is buried in the old cemetery of the 
Old Stone Church with the two women who called him 
husband. 

(3) Sarah, daughter of William and Jean (Anderson) Craii(, 
bom March 13, 1783, and died Nov. 30, 1849. • She marrie i 
James G. Laird, her cousin, who was born Nov. 1, 1781, auJ 
died July 28, 1857. They are both buried in the cemetery at 
C'ross Keys, Virginia. 

James G. Laird was the son of David Laird and Margaret 
Craig, who is believed to have been the daughter of Robeil 
Craig. She wa^ baptized April 7, 1745, by the Kev. John 
Craig. If this assumption is correct, the descendants of James 
G. Laird and Sarah Craig, his wife, are doubly descended 
from Wm. Craig, the immigrant, and Jean, his wife. David 
Laird was a captain of one of the first companies of regulars 
organized in Augusta for service in the Revolution. He was 
a captain of militia in 1777, and was also at Point Pleasant 
as a lieutenant in 1774. The relationship between the Mount 
Meridian Craigs and James, who married Sarah Craig, has 
always been recognized by the two families, but the degree 
of kinship is not now known. 

James G. and Sarah Craig Laird had two children, both 
daughters : Sarah, who married Mr. Thurmond, and died in 
Harrisonburg some years ago, and Margaret, who married 
Mr. Andrew Irick. 

James G. Laird lived and died about two and one-half miles 
from Keezletown, near the foot of Laird's Knob, which takes 
its name from his family. 

(4) Margaret, daughter of William and Jean (Anderson) 
Craig, born Dec. 26, 1785, and died Feb. 27, 1856, was the 
last wife of James Bell, of Augusta, who descended from one 
of the old pioneer families of that county. He was for many 
years the senior presiding justice of the Augusta county court.

and one of the most active and enterprising men in that sec- 
tion. He was bom in 1772 and died in 1856, and is buried 
along with his wife in the old cemetery of the old Stone 
Church. Their children were: John J., who married and 
died without issue ; David S., who married Miss McCue, and 
had issue; J. Wayt, who married, first, Sarah, daughter of 
Col. James Crawford, of Augusta, and had issue ; and second, 
her sister Eliza, who died without issue ; Henderson M., of 
Staunton, a lawyer and member of the Virginia House of 
Delegates, married Miss Kinney and had issue; Jane, who 
married Mr. Arbuckle, of Greenbrier county, Va.; Elizabeth, 
who married Chesley Kinney, of Staunton, and had issue ; 
Margaret, who married Frank M. Young, of Staunton, and 
had issue. David S. Bell, son of James and Margaret, was 
with his father, a member of the old county court of Augusta. 
Issue. 

7. Jfary, daughter of James and Mary Laird Craig, was 
bom May 10, 1752, and died Jan. 16, 1778. She married 
William Anderson, of Augusta, who is believed to have been 
the son of John, father of Jean, who married William Craig, 
brother of Mary. James Craig, the elder, in his will, probated 
at Staunton in 1791, refers to the heirs of his daughter Mary, 
but does not name them. William Anderson was a captain 
in the War of the Revolution and removed to Kentucky in 
1784, where his descendants are doubtless to be foimd. 

8. Agnes, youngest child of James and Mary Laird Craig, 
was born in Augusta, April 10, 1754. She married James 
Anderson, brother of Jean and William referred to, and re- 
moved to South Carolina, settling in what is now Anderson 
county. James Anderson served as a captain in the Revolu- 
tion, and the following children were bom to them : Robert, 
removed to Mississippi and died there ; George, who went to 
Missouri and afterwards to Texas, leaving seven sons and two 
daughters ; James, who was accidentally killed in Alabama, 
leaving a family ; Dr. William Anderson, who lived and died 
at the old Anderson homestead in South Carolina in 1853,

aged 63 years; Mary, who married James Watson, leaving 
issue ; Sarah, married Wm. Orr, of South Carolina, and left 
issue ; Anne, married James Orr, of South Carolina, and left 
issue ; Jane, married Mr. McEensie, and upon the death of 
her husband removed to Mississippi, issue; Ann married 
John James Mathews, both dead, no issue living ; Elizabeth, 
the youngest child of James and Agnes Craig Anderson, mar- 
ried Saxon Anderson, not related to her. They removed to 
Alabama and have issue living in that state. 

Captain James Anderson was baptized by the Rev. John 
Craig at the old Stone Church in Augusta, March 6, 1748, 
and died in South Carolina, Sept. 9, 1813. His wife Agnes 
died in the same state in 1841-42, aged about 88 years. She 
is buried in the family graveyard on the estate of Dr. Wm. 
Anderson. Her husband is buried in the old Carmel Church 
graveyard. The descendants of Agnes Craig and James 
Anderson are numerous throughout the South, and are 
highly respectable. 

3. John, youngest son of William Craig, the immigrant, 
was probably bom in 1717 or 1718, and came to America 
with his parents as a mere child. He resided in the same 
neighborhood with his brothers, Robert and James, until 
1775, when he removed to Kentucky. 

The journal of the Virginia Convention of 1776 contains a 
petition from him stating that he had removed from Augusta 
county, Va., to the western country in the previous year with 
a drove of cattle, intending to settle there. JJe located in 
Lincoln county, Ky., and died there in 1862, describing him- 
self in his will as being very old and infirm. The name of 
his wife is not known, but she is believed to have been either 
an Allen or an Anderson. The baptismal register of the Rev. 
John Craig previously referred to shows that William Craig, 
son of John, was baptized Aug. 10, 1746, and James, son of 
John, was baptized Jan. 24, 1748. He had other children 
than these, but their names do not appear upon the register 
in question, which only covers the period between 1740 and

1749. William is said to have been the eldest son, and was 
the magistrate of that name who sat in the first court ever 
held in Kentucky at Harrodsburg, in the year 1781. He is 
believed by his relatives to have been killed in a duel near 
Danville in the year 1788. James, the second son, is de- 
scribed in a decision of the court of appeals of Kentucky as 
having been an efScient soldier and a capable and energetic 
officer, but whether this service was rendered during the 
Revolution or in the Indian wars following is unknown. 

Mary, daughter of John, married Col. John Cowan, one of 
the most intelligent of the early pioneers of Kentucky. 

John, the youngest son of John, was bom in Augusta in 
1756. He married there Elizabeth Beard, daughter of Edward 
Beard, whose wife was. a descendant of William Bell, the pro- 
genitor of the Stone Church Bells of Augusta. John did not 
remove to Kentucky with his father and older brothers, but 
remained in Augusta until 1790. One of his daughters mar- 
ried Mr. Welch. His son William was born in Augusta in 
1786, and was a student at the old Liberty Hall Academy at 
Lexington, Va., in 1804-6, a student at Transylvania Uni- 
versity in 1808-10, and studied medicine in Philadelphia in 
1810-12 ; he was a surgeon in the War of 1812 in the regular 
army, a member of the legislature of Kentucky in 1814-15, 
an elder in the Presbyterian Church, president of the Danville 
branch of the bank of Kentucky, a large farmer and a fine 
physician. One of his daughters married Hon. Thomas M. 
Green, of Danville, Ky., author of Historic Families of Ken- 
lucky, etc., and a son is the Rev. Dr. Willis Green Craig, now 
President of the McCormick Theological Seminary of Chicago.

NoTS.— Jamw Cndg, second ion of William, the immigrant (see page 294), was a member 
of the County Court of Augusta county, Virginia, appointed by Lord Dunmore, then Qoy- 
emor of Virginia, December 6, 1774, which said court was adjourned as of that date from 
Staunton, Virginia, to Fort Dunmore— now Pittsburg, PennsylTanian^See Annals of Car- 
negie Museum, Vol. I, No. 4, 1902). It does not appear from the minutes of the court holden 
at Fort DuiUDDore that James Craig eyer sat as a member at that place. Again, on January 
17, 1776 (Order Book 16, of Augusta county, Virginia, page 80), and on March 19, 1776 (same 
book, page 128), he was named in the Commissions of Peace and Oyer and Terminer, and 
on February 17, 1778, he declined, for reasons best known to himself; to qualify.

HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL NOTES OF JOHN 
ANDERSON AND HIS DESCENDANTS, OF 
AUGUSTA COUNTY, VIRGINIA. - ^ 

Seven or eight heads of families who bore the name of An- 
derson were among the earliest settlers of Augusta counly, 
Virginia. Whether related to each other in any degree is not 
definitely known, but four of them, whose Christian names 
were John, George, William and James, settled in the Stone 
Church neighborhood and are believed to have been brothers. 
The other Andersons referred to settled on Borden's grant, in 
what is now Rockbridge county, and are not believed to have 
been related to those who located on or near Middle river, in 
Augusta county. , 

The Anderson who is the subject of this sketch was named 
John. The Christian name of his wife was Jean, but her sur- 
name is unknown. In the year 1738 William Beverly, by 
deed dated June 5th, conveyed to John Anderson 748 acres 
of land, which is believed to have been his home farm upon 
which he lived and died. This land is located on Middle 
river, at the crossing of that stream by the Valley turnpike 
and the Valley railroad, and that portion of his estate where 
he resided is now the property of Andrew Bowling, Esq. 

John Anderson was of Scotch-Irish descent, and so, doubt- 
less, was his wife. He probably came to Virginia from 
Pennsylvania with the first wave of Scotch-Irish immigration 
which followed in the wake of John Lewis, the pioneer settler 
of Augusta county. Few of the details of his life are known. 
In 1742 he was a soldier in Captain John Smith's company 
of militia in Augusta county, and in 1756 his name appears 
as a soldier in Captain Christian's company of militia. ,When 
Augusta county was created in 1746 he was appointed one 
of the first magistrates who composed the county court In 
1772 John Poague conveyed 27 acres of land upon which the 
. old Stone Church stands to the Rev. John Craig and the 



NOTBS OF JOHN ANDERSON. 309 

session of that church. In this deed John Anderson is named 
next after Parson Craig, from which it may be fairly inferred 
that he was one of the first elders of that congregation. This 
inference is strengthened by the fact that Captain James Allen, 
his son-in-law, is also named as a member of the session, and 
three or four names intervene between him and John Ander- 
son. James Allen is known to have been one of the elders 
of this church as early as 1746, and the fact that his father- 
in-law precedes him in the deed referred to makes it almost 
certain that John Anderson was not only the senior elder 
of the church at that time, but one of tlie first elders originally 
elected. His will was made in 1787 and probated at Staunton, 
Va., in 1789. His wife was then living, but the date of her 
death is unknown. His children, as named in the will, were 
as follows : 1st, Robert ; 2d, James ; 3d, Andrew ; 4th, Wil- 
liam ; 5th, Margaret, and 6th, Jean. 

I. Margaret is believed to have been the eldest child 
of John and Jean Anderson. She was evidently bom prior 
to 1740, because no record of her baptism occurs in the 
register of Rev. John Craig, pastor of the old Stone Church, 
which record is now in the library of General John E. Roller, 
of Harrisonburg, Va. Besides, her eldest child, Jean, who 
married Captain James Trimble, was bom in the year 1756, 
which would indicate that Margaret Anderson was born at 
some time during the period between 1735-40. She married, 
as stated, James Allen, soil of William Allen, who was among 
the earliest settlers in Augusta. James Allen was a captain 
of militia in 1756, and also participated in the battle of Point 
Pleasant. He died in 1810, 94 years of age, having been an 
elder of Augusta Stone Church for 64 years. Their children 
were: 

1. JeaUy wife of James Trimble, a captain of rifle rangers 
during the war of the Revolution. He removed with his 
family to Kentucky in 1784 and resided there until 1804, 
when he died upon the eve of his contemplated removal to 
Hillsboro, Ohio. Issue : Allen, bom in Augusta county, Va., 



310 GLEANINGS OF VIRGINIA HISTORY. 

Nov. 24, 1783, and died in Highland county, Ohio, Feb. 3, 
1870. Allen Trimble was clerk of the courts and recorder 
of Highland county in 1809-16. In the war of 1812 he com- 
manded a mounted regiment under General William Henry 
Harrison and rendered efficient service. He was a member 
of the Ohio House of Representatives in 1816, State Senator 
in 1817, and Speaker of that body, holding the position until 
Jan. 7, 1822, when he became Acting Governor, and served 
to the end of that year. In 1826 he was elected Governor, 
and re-elected in 1828. His brother, William A. Trimble, 
was born in Woodford county, Ky., April 4, 1786, and re- 
moved with his family to Ohio. He graduated at Transyl- 
vania University, and then returned to Ohio and spent some 
time in the office of his brother Allen. At the outbreak of the 
War of 1812 he was chosen major in the Ohio volunteers ; was 
at Huirs surrender and liberated on parole. He was after- 
wards exchanged and commissioned major in the 26th regi- 
ment. In the defense of Fort Erie he acted with signal 
gallantry, and received a severe wound, which was the cause 
of his death years afterwards. He remained in the army 
until 1819, with the rank of brevet lieutenant-colonel, and 
was then elected to the United States Senate ; took his seat in 
December, 1819, and gave promise of much future usefulness. 
He died, however, Dec. 13, 1821, aged 35 years, being prob- 
ably the youngest man ever elected to the United States 
Senate. Captain James Trimble and Jean, his wife, had other 
children, but the writer is not acquainted with their history. 

2. AnUf wife of Col. William Poague ; and their children 
were: Allen, John, William, Jean, Mary, James, Thomas, 
and Hugh. The writer has but little information concerning 
the children of William and Ann (Allen) Poague, but Thomas 
was a lawyer of distinction in southwest Virginia, and during 
the Civil War was colonel of the 50th Virginia regiment when 
he was killed in battle on Black Water in February, 1863. 

3. Elizabeth, married the Rev. John McCue, pastor of Tink- 
ling Spring church. They had issue as follows : James A.,

The only son of William Bell and Margaret, his wife, wais 
William Joseph Davies Bell, who married Lucy Shipp, of 
Orange county, Va. Nearly all these children of William 
Bell and Margaret, his wife, left issue, but it would be impos- 
sible to enumerate them within the limits of this sketch. 

6. Mary, who married Colonel Nicholas Lewis, and removed 
to Kentucky. If there was issue of this couple, their descend- 
ants are unknown to the writer. 

7. Nancy, who married Captain Samuel Frame, of Augusta, 
whose children were John, Thomas, and Nancy. 

8. Sarah, first wife of James Bell, and momer of the late 
Colonel William A. Bell, of Augusta county.

312 GLEANINGS OF VIRGINIA HISTORY. ^^ 

to that state in 1783, and settled at Lexington. He was the 
father of six children. His eldest daughter was the wife 
of Matthew Jouett, the distinguished Kentucky artist, and her 
oldest daughter married Richard Menifee, the celebrated 
Kentucky orator. Another daughter was the wife of Dr. 
Alexander Mitehell, of Frankfort, Ky., and one of her daugh- 
ters married Oliver Frazer, the artist. One of Captain Wil- 
liam Allen's sons was Colonel William H. Allen, formerly 
of Augusta, and another was Colonel James Allen, of Missouri. 

10. James^ who married Elizabeth Tate. Issue : William,

of Augusta ; Nancy, wife of Charles Lewis ; Sarah, who mar- 
ried George Mayse, of Bath counJji;<^and James T., who mar- 
ried Miss Maynard, of Michigan. 

The descendants of Captain James Allen and Margaret 
Anderson, his wife, are very numerous, and they are scattered 
all over the west and southwest. Many of them still remain 
in the Shenandoah Valley, and the posterity of this worthy 
couple have been noted for their intelligence and devotion to 
right principles in all the avocations of life. Much of the 
foregoing information was derived from Mr. Joseph A. Wad- 
dell's invaluable work. The Annals of Augusta County, Vir- 
ginia, to whom due acknowledgment is hereby made. 

11. John. The Rev. John Craig's record of baptisms pre- 
viously referred to shows that on October 19, 1740, John, the 
son of John Anderson, was baptized at the old Stone Church, 
but no mention is made of him in his father's will, and no 
tradition concerning him is known to the writer. Therefore, 
it is believed that he died unmarried, probably in infancy. 

III. RoBBBT, who was baptized November 15, 1741, by the 
Rev. John Craig at the old Stone Church. He married Ann 
Thompson, of Augusta, November 4, 1765, and removed to

six he removed to the Waxhaws, now Lancaster county, South 
Carolina, and after quiet was restored about Fort Ninety-six 
returned to that neighborhood, finally making his permanent

330 QLBAKIKG8 OP YIRQINIA HISTORY. 

SMITH FAMILY OF AUGUSTA AND ROCKINGHAM 
COUNTIES, VIRGINIA. 

Capt. John Smith, bom 1698, in England, settled with his 
parents in Province of Ulster, Ireland ; is said to have been 
an officer of the British army (?), and married, in 1719, Mar- 
garet ; immigrated to America about 1730, with his 

wife and children ; settled, 1st, in Chester Co., Pa., about 1740; 
removed, with the McDowells and others, to what is now 
Augusta county, Virginia, then Orange, and on June 26^ 
1740, proved the importation of himself, his wife Margaret, 
their sons Abraham, Henry, Daniel, John and Joseph, from 
the colony of Penna. (See Orange County Land Records.) 
In 1738 Augusta county was taken from Orange, the first 
court being held in Staunton Dec. 9, 1745, prior to which 
time all the legal business of Augusta county was transacted 
at Orange Court House. June 26, 1742, John Smith qualified 
at Orange Court House as captain of the militia for Augusta 
county. 

As a protection against the inroads of the Indians, he had 
several rude forts, or block-houses, constructed in the Valley, 
one of which was in the county of Botetourt, on the James 
river, where Pattonsburg was subsequently located. This fort 
became the scene of memorable events. ^ • 

Capt. John Smith, with seventeen men, held a fort, called 
Fort Vause— variously written Vass, Voss, and Vaus — ^which 
was located on the head-waters of the Roanoke river, about ten 
miles from where Christiansburg now stands. This fort was 
invested by three hundred French and Indians, and, after a 
brave resistance for three days, the garrison agreed to sur- 
render the fort, upon a stipulation allowing them to return to 
their homes. Astonished and mortified at finding so few men 
in the fort, the enemy disregarded the terms of surrender and 
held the survivors — ^now only nine or ten in number — ^as 
prisoners. Twc^of Capt. Smith's sons were with him : John, 



GENEALOGY OP THE SMITH FAMILY. 331 

who was wounded during the siege, and killed by an Indian 
after the surrender. The prisoners were taken down the Ohio 
and Mississippi rivers to New Orleans, and on the way down 
the other young Smith (Joseph), who had survived the disaster 
at the fort, died. Only five of the prisoners lived to reach 
New Orleans. Capt. Smith and two others were then sent to 
France, and he alone returned to America, after an absence 
of two years. " When the treaty was signed at the fort, Cap- 
tain Smith was so cautious as to secure the paper by ripping 
open the lining of his coat and sewing it between, which de- 
feated the most diligent search for it. On arriving at Paris, 
Capt. Smith produced the agreement, and, upon exhibiting it to 
the proper authorities, was promptly released, and with his two 
companions was sent to London, where he received quite an 
ovation, a street being named in his honor. He there told 
of the immense territory of the Southwestern country." 

Mr. Waddell, in the Virginia Magazine of History and 
Biography, says : 

" Capt. John Smith commanded a company in the disastrous 
Sandy Creek expedition, sent out on Feb. 18, 1756, and it 
would seem that after his return he was stationed at Fort 
Vause ; also, that while Capt. Smith was detained as a pris- 
oner and absent two years, his pay durvng thai time, and also 
that of his sorif Lieut, John Smithj Jr,, up to the time he was 
killed aJt Fort Vause, on June ^6, 1766, vxis provided for by an 
Act of Assembly, passed by the House of Burgesses. — Meninges 
Vvrgima Statutes.'^ 

As a further proof of the accounts given by Mr. Waddell, 
and Benj. H. Smith, the Editor of the Virginia Magazine of 
History and Biography, adds : " A register of the persons who 
have been either wounded, killed, or taken prisoner by the 
enemy in Augusta county, as also such as have made their 
escape ; " and among many other names and dates are found 
the following : " June 25th, 1756, at Fort Vause, Capt. John 
Smith, prisoner returned 1758, Lieut. John Smith (Jr.), killed, 
Joseph Smith, prisoner, died on the way to N#w Orleans." 



332 aLEANiNas op vikginia history. 

"After his return to this country, probably in impaired 
health, he seems to have taken no active part in Military 
affairs. 

" He survived until the Revolutionary War began, and this, 
his military spirit having revived, he applied for a Com- 
mission and was refused on account of his advanced age, then 
78 years, which greatly offended him. He died shortly after 
this at Smithlands, the residence of his son Daniel, two miles 
north of Harrisonburg, Virginia. 

" His sons, Abraham, Henry, and Daniel, were also prom- 
inent in the French and Indian Wars ; his son-in-law, Hugh 
Reece Bowen, was killed at the battle of Kings Mountain, 
near the close of the fight, as a Lieut, of Campbell's Raiment 
of Riflemen, Virginia Militia, on Oct. 7, 1780, and left many 
highly respectable descendants in southwestern Virginia, 
namely, Tazewell, Wythe, and Montgomery counties." 

Capt. Smith was one of the first Vestry Members for the 
parish of Augusta ; their first Meeting was held April 5, 1747, 
at which date John Smith, John Buchanan, James Patton, 
John Madison and others, took the oath appointed by act of 
Parliament as such. His name appears as being present at 
all meetings from 1747 to Nov. 23, 1756; at this meeting 
John Matthews, Jr., was chosen Vestryman in place of Capt. 
John Smith, who had been captured at Fort Vause on Nov. 
20, 1758, there being a vacancy. Col. (formerly Capt.) John 
Smith having returned to Virginia, was chosen Vestrjrman, 
which position he held until May 25, 1760. The military 
record of Capt. John Smith is well known, he having received 
from his colony, grants of land for his service as early as 
1754. (See records.) His military record is too well known 
to require any further notice in this paper. 

On March 30, 1745, John Smith, Gentleman, had patented 
to him 400 acres of land in the great survey on Mossy Creek, 
and 400 acres on Spring Creek ; from this time on for many 
years the records of Augusta show that he and his sons 
handled many thousand acres of the best lands in the Shen-

Second Generation. 

Daniel Smith, 2d of Capt. John and Margaret Smith, bom 
in Ireland in 1724,. came to Ame rica withjiis^arenta aged 
about six years ; finally settled in Augusta county, where he 
married Jane Harrison about 1751, bom 1735, daughter of 
Daniel Harrison, and sister of Col. Benjamin Harrison, of/ 
Augusta county (see Harrison family.) 

March 10, 1751, he purchased a tract of land on the head 
of Linsville Creek, adjoining the land of his father-in-law, 
where he built his residence later known as " Smithland," a 
magnificent estate in Augusta county, now Rockingham. 
His is said to have been the first brick house built in the 
Valley; situated two miles north of Harrisonburg, Va. 
Smithland, the estate on which he lived and died, was pat- 
ented Aug. 20, 1741, by Daniel Harrison, his father-in-law. 
(Deed book 1, Augusta county records.) 

In 1757 Col. Daniel Smith was one of the Justices for 
Augusta county ; was Capt. of a company under Gen. Lewis 
in the battle of Poi^t Pleasant ; he was a member of the 
Courtmartial for West Augusta district firom the beginning of 
the French wars until Oct., 1777 ; on Sept. 20, 1781, he was 
commissioned, in the Revolutionary army, as Deputy Pur- 
veyor, Southern Department. As the Presiding Justice of 
Rockingham county, he signed the court records for the last 
time on Sept. 24, 1781, and left immediately for Yorktown, 
where he joined four of his sons, viz.: John, Daniel, Joseph, 
and Robert, who were in the Revolutionary army. After the 
return of the troops from the siege of Yorktown, Daniel 
Smith, then designated Colonel, summoned those from Rock- 
ingham, for a review to celebrate the victory ; the last act of 
which was the " running salute." As the troops began firing, 
his horse became frightened, sprang aside, spraining his 
rider's back and throwing him ; from which injury he died 
in a few days. 

In 1778 Rockingham county was formed from Augusta; 
the plantations of Col. Daniel Smith being in the new county ;

of sixteen years entered Washington College, now Washington 
and Lee University, graduating with the degree of Bachelor 
of Arts ; studied law under his father, and afterwards attended 
the law school of Judge John W. Brockenbrough. 

In 1852 was licensed to practice law, in which he was 
eminently successful. In 1859 and 1860 he represented the 
county of Kanawha in the legislature of Virginia. During 
the Civil War he served as major of the 22d Virginia Regi- 
ment C. S. A. 

He was a man of extensive information and breadth of 
thought, including not only the graver things of business, but 
the nobler affairs of life — love of humanity, devotion to family 
and friends — unobtrusive, but zealous in good works. His 
life was moulded by three principles : love of God, charity for 
his fellowman, and respect of self; and it is not eulogistic to 
say that, gauged by these standards, his life was complete.

The Smith, Harrison and Cravens family records were 
courteously supplied by Mr. William P. Tams, of Staunton, 
Virginia, and Mr. Roger Morris Smith, of St. Matthew's, Jeffer- 
son county, Kentucky. These gentlemen have spent much 
time and thought in the study of their family history. 

For any errors in the mechanical construction of the paper 
the publisher is responsible. In several instances where dates 
are omitted from the records, there were doubts as to the order 
of birth of various members of the families. The publisher 
hopes his arrangement of them will be found satisfactory, and 
will welcome any corrections, additional data, or historical 
data. 



QBNBALOQT OF THS HARRISOK FAMILY. 373 

HARRISON FAMILY OF AUGUSTA AND ROCKING- 
INGHAM COUNTIES, VA. 

Thomas Harrison, the founder of this family, on March 15, 
1744, obtained from Lieut.-Gov. William Gooch a grant for 
258 acres of land in Orange county, later Augusta county, 
situated at the head spring of the east fork of Cook's Creek. 
Of his early life, or the date of his death or that of his wife, 
nothing definitely is known ; it is claimed by some of his de- 
scendants that he belonged to the James River Harrisons ; of 
this, however, we find no proof; some writers claim that he 
was an immigrant direct to Chester county, Penna., then to 
Orange county, Va., about 1743. 

The publisher is of the opinion that Thomas Harrison de- 
scended from one of the early Maryland immigrants, some of 
whom are known to have settled in Virginia, in what was 
then Stafford county, about 1700 ; after 1730 Prince William 
county, which at this date embraced the counties of Fairfax, 
Loudoun and Fauquier ; this territory being the natural route 
to Augusta county, where about 1743-4 he removed and set- 
tled on Cook's Creek. After 1690 the names of several 
branches of the Harrison family disappear from the Maryland 
records, and later are found in Virginia, but owing to the de- 
struction of the early records of Stafford, and many of those 
of Prince William counties, it is doubtful if satisfactory record 
proof can be obtained. Of the children of Thomas Harrison 
we have no record, except that of Daniel. 

Second Gbnbration. 

Daniel Harrison, son of Thomas and Jane (Delahage) Har- 
rison, bom in 1700 (perhaps Charles county, Md.) ; was twice 
married : 1st, to Margaret Cravens, a sister of Robert. Seven 
children :

The second marriage of Daniel Harrison to Sarah Stephen- 
son, widow of William, in 1760, whose will was proven May 
16, 1759. As in 1761 Sarah Harrison joined her husband 
(Daniel) in making deeds to some of his lands. Daniel Har- 
rison, Sr., died July 10, 1770. 

Third Generation. 

Mrgt, Robert Harrison, 1st of Daniel and Margaret 
(Cravens) Harrison, born 1725 ; died unmarried in 1761 ; his 
will bearing date May 4, 1761, was proven at Augusta county 
Court Aug. 18, 1761. In this will reference is made to his 
father Daniel Harrison ; his brother Jesse ; Ann, the daughter 
of brother Jesse, under 18 years of age ; his brother Daniel, 
Jr.; to Daniel Smith, the husband of his sister, Jane, bom 
1735 ; to Daniel Smith's son, Robert Smith ; his brother, Ben- 
jamin Harrison ; his sisters, Mary and Abigal H arrison. Ap- 
pointed his brother-in-law, Daniel Smith, and Jesse Harrison, 
executors. Silas Hart, Hugh Hamilton, William Minter and

Irish parentage in 1761, and settled in the Warm Spring 
Valley on the Cowpasture River, a branch of the James, 
called by the Indians Wallahatoolah. His tract of land con- 
taining 400 acres was known as Flowing Spring, named from 
a series of springs which flowed at irregular intervals, gushing 
out of the earth in such an unusual manner ias to attract the 
attention of Thomas Jeflferson and other writers on Virginia. 

During the Revolution John Brown enlisted a company of 
militia soldiers in Augusta county from the neighborhood in 
which he lived, of which he was captain, and Robt. Thomp- 
son, lieutenant, Col. Sampson Matthews, commander; his 
company marched to Richmond, thence to Petersburg and 
Amelia county, where they saw active service; was in the 
engagement with the British at the battle of Hot Water, and 
again at the battle of Green Spring (Jamestown), in which 
Major Brown (then Capt.) was taken prisoner July 6, 1781. 

Upon the organization of Bath county, Aug. 26, 1791, 
Major Brown was commissioned one of the first justices for the 
county, which position he continued to hold until his death ; 
was also Capt. of militia for the county, occupying various 
positions of trust, as Sheriff" and Treasurer for Bath county, 
and later was Major in command of the 2d Battalion of Bath 
county militia ; April 12, 1796, was elected a member of the 
General Assembly of the state of Virginia, and again in 1802- 
3--4. Lieut. Robt. Thompson, Jan. 8, 1833, in his declaration 
for a pension says : he was commissioned Lieut, of Virginia 
militia of Augusta county, and served as such under Capt. 
John Brown ; that he was in the battle of Hot Water and at 
Jamestown; that they marched to Richmond, Petersburg, 
Amelia county, etc., under command of Col. Sampson Matthew, 
and was with Gen. Campbell, Wayne and Morgan. 

Mary (Donnelly) Brown, wife of Capt. John, died about 
April, 1815, as a deed bearing date April 1st, of this year, was 
signed by her, but not acknowledged. Major Brown died 
Feb. 6, 1830, his will bearing date Nov. 6, 1824, with codicil 
dated March 17, 1828 ; was proven June term of Court^ 1830 ;

MARRIAGES SOLEMNIZED IN ALBEMARLE COUNTY, 

VIRGINIA, BY THE REV. JOHN GIBSON, 

FROM 1800 TO 1846. 

John Gibson was bom 1759, in Culpeper county, Virginia, 
son of Peter, where he resided until 1782. He was reared on 
the plantation of his father with only the limited opportunities 
of the Log Cabin School House for an education, and these 
but for three months in the year. 

September 30, 1778, at the age of nineteen, he enlisted as a 
private soldier in the Culpeper county militia, or minute-men, 
under Capt. Francis Miller, with whom he marched from Cul- 
peper to Orange, thence to Spottsylvania, thence to Essex 
coimty, and later to Mobinhills, bejow Richmond, at which 
place his command was stationed four weeks with troops from 
all parts of Virginia. Subsequently they marched to Wil- 
liamsburg, where he remained till the end of the service for 
which he enlisted. 

In 1779 he again enlisted for three months, as a substitute 
for his fether, Peter, under Capt. James Smith ; was at Wil- 
liamsburg, Norfolk and Jamestown. In April of that year 
he was honorably discharged. 

In 1781 John Gibson was drafted, on his own account, by 
Capt. Fisher Rice, under whom he marched from Culpeper to 
Louisa county. He served until discharged, returning to his 
home in Culpeper. In 1782 he removed with his parents to 
Albemarle county, where he married and reared a large fiunily, 
living in the same neighborhood for sixty-eight years. 

In early life Mr. Gibson made a profession of religion, and 
joined the Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1798 he was 
licensed by the Quarterly Conference of said Church as a 
local minister, and as such performed many marriages in the 
community in which he lived. He kept a record of these 
marriages from 1800 to 1846. On Aug. 3, 1846, he filed the 
same in the United States Pension Office with his application
