The 

Collection  of  the  matter 

Contained  within  this  volume 

was  suggested  by 

a  desire  to 

Know  something  of  my 

IRlnepeople, 

and 

Having  learned  so  much 

that  seems  to  be  worth  preserving 

it  is  now  published 

In  loving  memory  of 

My  Mother, 

JuOitb  JBtowne  Claiborne  'Mealc, 

who  was  well  known 

and  beloved  by 

Many 

whose  names  are  recorded  herein. 


INTRODUCTION. 

•'  He  who  careth  not  whence  be  caine.  caretli  little  whither  he  Roeth." 

NO  apology  is  needed  for  a  work  like  this.  It  is  only  intended 
for  those  who  are  directly  interested  in  its  contents.  There 
can,  assuredly,  be  no  harm  in  setting  down  a  list  of  one's 
family  connections,  if  only  as  a  matter  of  curious,  if  not  useful, 
information,  and  it  really  does  not  concern  the  general  public  at  all. 
If  any  of  those  whose  acts  are  recorded  here  deprecate  the  linking 
of  their  names  with  others  of  less  renown  perhaps,  it  should  be 
remembered  that  we  are,  after  all,  merely  one  great  family,  inter- 
minably interwoven,  and  all  springing  originally  from  a  common  stock. 
No  pretense  of  illustrious  ancestry  is  affected,  nor  thought  of  superi- 
ority entertained,  because  of  the  certain  knowledge  that  descent 
can  be  traced  back  several  generations.  Experience  abundantly 
teaches  that  such  evidence  is  uncertain,  if  not  useless,  as  many 
celebrated  characters  in  the  world's  history  rest  on  no  such  foun- 
dation. 

' '  Honor  and  shame  from  no  condition  rise. 
Act  well  your  part ;    there  all  the  honor  lies. " 

The  information   recorded  here  was  collected  with  much  labor 

and    infinite    pains    by    Thomas    Henry   Edwards,    of    West    Point, 

Virginia,   and  Peyton  Neale  Clarke,   of    Louisville,    Kentucky,   with 

jthe  assistance  and  co-operation  of    numerous   correspondents,    and 

personal  visit  to  the  old  homesteads  by  Mr.  C.  A.  Morrison,   to 

nom  we  are  indebted  for  the  photographic  views.

KING  WILLIAM  COUNTY. 


This  county  was  organized  in  1701,  its  territory  being  taken  from 
King  and  Queen,  which  in  turn  had  been  formed  from  a  part  of 
New  Kent  in  1691.  New  Kent  was  a  part  of  the  original  Shire 
of  lYork  until  1654,  the  latter  being  one  of  the  first  divisions  of 
the  Colony  set  apart  in  1634.  In  1720  Spotsylvania  County  was 
formed  from  parts  of  King  William,  King  and  Queen,  and  Essex, 
and!  in  1727  ICing  William  was  again  called  on  to  surrender  some 
of  its  territory  when  the  new  county  of  Caroline  was  organized. 
A  liistory  of  King  William  would  consequently  be  inseparable  from 
that  of  all  of  these  counties. 

The  wide  rivers,  wooded  hills,  and  broad  savannas  comprised 
within  its  limits  attracted  the  attention  of  the  early  settlers,  many 
of  jwhom  had  sufficient  influence  to  obtain  extensive  grants  of  land, 
and  located  their  homes  on  the  banks  of  the  Pamunkey,  York, 
and  Mattapony  rivers. 

The  Indians  lingered  here  until  the  beginning  of  the  eighteenth 
ccr  tury, .  and  some  friendly  ones  long  after.  Indeed,  there  is  a 
s-  i;ill    remnant    of    the    ancient    Pamunkey   Tribe    still    residing   at 

ian  Town,  near  Sweet  Hall,  on  a  reservation  set  apart  for  their 
by    the    Colonial    Government.       Since    this    was    written    the 

owing  account  of  the  Pamunkeys  appeared  in  the  Baltimore 
Arrrrican,  which  is,  however,  mainly  taken  from  a  report  of  the 
Smithsonian  Institute  by  John  Garland  Pollard,    of  Richmond: 

'  •  They  are  the  undoubted  offspring  of  the  old  Powhatans  still 
dw-Uing  upon  a  part  of  their  old  hunting-grounds,  and  representing 
all  that  is  left  of  the  once  powerful  native  confederacy  that  gave 
tl  i  early  Virginia  colonists  so  much  trouble  until  expelled  from 
J;  1  estown  region  in  the  year  1644.  Their  progenitors  possessed 
tL'  Aland  when  Captain  Newport,  in  1607,  founded  Jamestown,  the 
fir   i  permanent  English  settlement  in  North  America. 

{' '  Consequently  the  present  Pamunkeys  are  the  veritable  '  blue 
blc  ids '  among  all  the  Indians  surviving  to-day,  and  they  form  the 
lar^jest  remnant  of  the  old  Algonquin  stock  now  to  be  found  on 
the  Atlantic  coast.  Only  a  few  trilling  offshoots  and  some  few 
imc^rtain  and  feeble  strains  of  blood  remain  of  the  other  Powhatan

tribes.  The  Pamunkeys  alone  have  withstood  intact  the  enci^oach- 
ments  of  civilization  for  nearly  three  hundred  years.  And  their 
preservation  is  all  the  more  noteworthy  from  the  fact  that  they  live 
by  themselves  in  their  peculiar  way  in  such  close  vicinity  to  the 
busy  marts  and  '  effete  civilization '  of  the  East.  Although  their 
manners  are  modified,  their  language  lost,  and  their  prestige  van- 
ished, they  still  illustrate  in  themselves  the  law  of  the  survival  of 
the  fittest.  The  bare  fact  of  their  existence  is  unknown  evea  in 
many  parts  of  Virginia,  and  almost  wholly  unknown  elsewhere. 

' '  The  Pamunkey  tribe  live  in  a  queer  settlement  called  '  Indiian 
Town, '  situated  about  a  mile  east  of  the  historic  '  White  House, ' 
where  George  Washington  wedded  the  beautiful  Widow  Curtis. 
Their  reservation,  comprising  eight  hundred  acres,  ceded  to  the  tiibe 
by  the  ancient  colonial  assembly  of  Virginia,  is  an  odd-shaped  n^ick 
of  land,  almost  entirely  surrounded  by  one  of  the  serpentine  cui'es 
of  the  Pamunkey  River,  tributary  to  the  York  River,  and  not  far 
from  the  junction  of  the  two.  It  is  on  the  line  of  the  York  Ri  ver 
Division  of  the  Richmond  &  Danville  Railroad.  The  place  is  c  jn- 
nected  with  the  mainland  by  a  single  narrow  sandspit,  and  the 
isolation  and  protection  afforded  by  this  peculiar  situation  doubt;ie-:s 
saved  these  Indians  from  destruction.  About  one  third  of  the 
reservation  is  good  farming  land,  and  the  remainder  consists  of 
woods  and  low  swamps,  well  stocked  vidth  deer,  raccoon,  ot  er, 
muskrats,  mink,  reed  birds,  wild  geese,  ducks  and  turkeys. 

' '  There  are  only  ninety  Pamunkeys  actually  present  on  the 
reservation  proper,  and  thirty-five  more  residing  on  another  small - 
reservation  twelve  miles  northward  on  the  Mattapony  River,  besides 
twenty  others  employed  during  the  summer  as  boatmen  on  steamers 
plying  the  Virginia  rivers,  making  a  total  of  one  hundred  and  fo'-'t}'- 
five  Pamunkeys  now  living.  In  appearance  they  are  distingu.*-  hed 
by  the  usual  copper-colored  skin,  straight,  coarse  hair  and  c.ark 
eyes.  They  are  not  particularly  strong  or  robust  and  their  aveiage 
longevity  is  less  than  that  of  their  white  and  colored  neighbors." 

This  report  also  explains  the  origin  of  the  curious  name  of 
"Pipingtree  Ferry."  At  a  council  between  the  whites  and  Indians 
the  pipe  was  passed  around  on  the  ratification  of  the  treaty,  fiter 
which  it  was  deposited  in  a  hollow  tree  near  by.  Ever  after^  ard 
when  the  whites  disregarded  their  agreement  they  were  remir'ded 
by  the  Indians  of  the  "  Pipe-in-tree. "  i 

Many  of  the  titles  to  land  in  King  William  are  held  by !  de- 
scendants of  the  original  grantees,  and  the  ownership  has  >ecn 
confined  to  their  own  families. 


KING  WILLIAM  COUNTY. 


The  county  is  noted  for  the  prominence  of  its  old  famiHes  in 
the  history  of  the  colony,  and  has  furnished  a  noble  line  of  men 
and  women,  who,  after  carving  out  a  glorious  inheritance,  failed  not 
lO  provide  the  material  to  perpetuate  it. 

Beginning  with  the  first  hand-to-hand  conflicts  with  savage  foes, 
on  through  the  French  and  Indian  wars,  then  the  struggle  for 
independence,  the  War  of  i8i2,  the  Mexican  War,  and  the  last 
great  internecine  strife,  the  scars  of  which  are  not  yet  obliterated, 
old  King  William's  sons  have  been  ever  in  the  van,  and  her  patriotic 
blood  has  flowed  wherever  and  whenever  the  call  of  duty  has  been 
sounded. 

Distinguished  not  alone  for  valor,  her  people  have  been  fore- 
most in  promoting  the  welfare  of  the  Commonwealth  and  the 
advancement  of  civilization.  Legislative  halls  have  echoed  to  the 
elcpquence  of  her  statesmen,  and  every  honorable  path  in  life  has 
re.'feounded  to  their  tread. 

Many  have  contributed  to  the  history  of  the  State.  Not  a  few 
haVe  gained  national  renown,  while  the  deeds  of  some  will  live  as 
lorig  as  time  lasts. 

Not  only  does  King  William  boast  a  notable  posterity  for  her 
families,  but  the  claims  of  ancestry  are  as  well  sustained.  There 
are  the  Wests,  who  go  back  to  the  reign  of  Edward  the  Second, 
and  of  the  same  line  as  Lord  Delaware.  The  Wallers  trace  their 
anciestry  to  the  time  of  the  Norman  Conquest,  and  some  say  to 
Chj—^  magne;  the  Taliaferros  certainly  as  far,  and  the  Claibornes, 
Pej  ^6,  Fontaines,  and  others  are  quite  as  ancient.  Then  there 
are  ^'"^^^  descendants  of  the  Cavaliers,  and  particularly  the  connections 
of  '■'^^]  old  English  landed  gentry,  the  bulwarks  of  Albion,  whose 
bW  Is  purer  than  most  of  the  so-called  nobility,  and  who  sent 
out  '^"^ir  bravest  and  best  scions  to  people  the  New  World.  We 
can  ""^  omit  the  grand  old  Huguenots  who  ' '  left  fortune  and  fame 
for  c  iscience  sake,"  and  helpeH'To'swell  the  population  and  enrich 
the  endowment  of  the  land  of  freedom  and  light.  The  list  is  elo- 
quei'^,  and  includes  such  names  as  Claiborne,  Bland,  Roane,  Robin- 
son, Johnson,  Slaughter,  Edwards,  Thornton,  Powell,  Gregory, 
Robins,  Aylett,  Walker,  Neale,  Hill,  King,  Ellett,  Lipscomb,  Pem-

Browne,  Vaiden,  Defarges,  Croxton,  Bosher,  Langborne,  Fo>:, 
Fontaine,  Freeman  and  many  others. 

King  William  County  was  one  of  the  homes  of  Powhatan, 
and  the  reputed  scene  of  the  rescue  of  Captain  John  Smith  by 
Pocahontas  was  not  far  distant.  Bacon  and  his  followers  per- 
formed some  of  their  exploits  here,  the  remnant  of  his  band  sur- 
rendering at  West  Point,  and  Benedict  Arnold  and  CornwalLs 
committed  depredations  before  the  final  surrender  of  the  latter  at 
Yorktown,  in  the  adjoining  county. 

There  was  an  old  cannon,  partly  buried  in  the  ground  at  Lanas- 
ville,  said  to  have  been  left  there  by  Cornwallis.  It  was  dug  tip 
and  cleaned,  and  on  the  arrival  of  the  news  of  the  Secession  \^( 
Virginia,  in  1861,  was  fired  amid  much  enthusiasm  and  demonstra- 
tions of  patriotism.  In  the  four  succeeding  years  the  county  was 
overrun  by  both  armies,  vast  amounts  of  property  destroyed,  ahd. 
many  of  her  citizens  found  patriots'  graves. 

This  county  lay  in  the  path  between  the  Northern  Neck  and 
Williamsburg,  and  George  Washington,  as  well  as  other  dis-.^ 
tinguished  men,  frequented  the  homes  and  enjoyed  the  hospitalpty 
of  her  citizens.  Carter  Braxton,  one  of  the  signers  of  the  Decla- 
ration of  Independence,  lived  here,  and  the  kin  of  Patrick  Heniy, 
John  Randolph,  Lee,  Custis,  and  others,  peopled  her  shores.       J 

The  material  used  in  many  of  the  old  King  William  houses  is 
represented  to  have  been  imported.  While  brick-makinr -Tvas 
early  inaugurated  in  the  colony,  it  is  quite  certain  that  a.'  eat 
many  brick  were  brought  over  and  used  in  foundations,  chii|ve  :ys, 
etc. ,  where  the  extent  of  the  work  probably  did  not  justif Js. '  leir 
manufacture.  The  exportation  of  tobacco  and  other  comrri  ides 
necessitated  the  employment  of  many  vessels.  It  is  highly  ■  ^ba- 
ble  that  they  brought  over  building  m.aterial  among  other  su.  lies. 
At  " Waterville, "  the  home  of  Henry  Corr,  near  "Sweet  Hall;  vMr. 
John  B.  Carrington  of  Louisville,  Kentucky,  noticed  the  remaiy.;  of 
an  old  house,  the  bricks  of  which  bear  date  of  1600,  and  which  T'ere 
unquestionably  imported.  There  was  a  kind  of  glazed  brick  |of  a 
peculiar  color,  differing  from  bricks  made  of  the  native  clays  wjich 
were  frequently  used,  and  it  is  probable   that  all  the  brick  oSjfhjs

class  were  made  in  England  or  Holland  and  brought  over  to  the 
Colony.  Harper's  Illustrated  History  of  the  War  records  that, 
between  October,  1863,  and  March,  1864,  there  were  at  no  time 
more  than  seven  thousand  troops  in  and  about  Richmond,  while 
there  were  fully  ten  thousand  Union  prisoners  in  the  city.  Plans 
were  made  by  the  Federals  to  make  a  sudden  dash  on  the  city  and 
liberate  the  prisoners.  Kilpatrick  was  sent  with  four  thousand 
cavalry  to  effect  an  entrance  on  the  north,  while  Ulric  Dahlgreen 
was  to  attack  the  city  from  the  south.  Kilpatrick  very  nearly 
succeeded,  but  was  repulsed  almost  in  the  city  limits,  mainly  by 
the  department  clerks  and  a  few  regulars.  Dahlgreen  was  said  to 
have  been  misled  by  his  guide,  whom  he  promptly  hung,  and 
wandering  around  aimlessly  reached  King  William  County,  where 
his  willful  and  sanguinary  mistreatment  of  defenseless  women  and 
children  and  destruction  of  private  property  caused  so  much  indig- 
nation that  the  younger  men,  who  had  formed  themselves  into  a 
home  guard,  attacked  his  command,  killed  the  leader,  and  captured 
most  of  his  followers.  It  is  said  that  orders  found  on  Dahlgreen's  body 
directed  him  minutely  as  to  his  actions  should  his  expedition  suc- 
ceed. 

The  Confederate  President  and  his  cabinet  were  to  be  assas- 
sinated, the  Union  prisoners  liberated,  and  the  city  given  over  to 
rapine  and  pillage.  The  indignation  was  so  great  that  his  body, 
which  had  been  decently  interred,  was  taken  up  and  secretly  buried, 
and  all  trace  of  the  vandal  obliterated. 

McClellan  landed  a  large  force  at  West  Point  in  the  "Penin- 
sular Campaign,"  and  established  a  base  of  supplies  at  the  White 
House,  the  old  seat  of  the  Lees  just  across  the  Pamunkey  River 
in  New  Kent  County,  which  subsequently  fell  into  the  hands  of  the 
Confederates.  The  White  House  was  built  on  the  site  of  the  old 
Parke  Custis  house,  the  home  of  Martha,  the  wife  of  Washington, 
and  when  it  was  abandoned  on  the  approach  of  McClellan's  army, 
it  is  said  that  Mrs.  General.  Lee  left  a  note  in  one  of  the  rooms 
asking  that  the  place  be  protected  from  desecration  on  account 
of  its  associations.  It  was,  however,  destroyed  by  the  Union 
troops  when  they  were  forced  to  abandon  their  stores,  and  the 
"associations"  were  forgotten.

KING  WILLIAM  COUNTY. 


Some  of  the  old  officers  in  King  William  County,  taken  from  the 
Board  of  Trade  Reports,  in  the  year  1 702  were  as  follows : 

Burgesses,  John  West  and  Nath.  West ;  Sheriff,  John  Waller ; 
Justices,  Henry  Fox,  John  Waller,  John  West,  Henry  Madison, 
William  Clayborne,  Richard  Gossidge,  '  Martin  Palmer,  Daniel 
Miles,  Roger  Mallory,  Thomas  Corr,  William  Hay,  George  Dabney, 
and  Thomas  Terry  ;  Escheater,  Math.  Page ;  County  Clerk,  William 
Aylett;  Surveyor,  Harry  Beverley. 

Parishes:  St.  John's,  Minister,  John  Monroe;  Christ  Church, 
Minister,   Andrew  Jackson. 

Trustees,  Founders  and  Governors  appointed  by  the  Charter: 
Thomas  Milner,  Christopher  Robinson,  Charles  Scarborough.  Gov- 
ernors elected:  Arthur  Allen  and  Thomas  Barber. 

It  is  not  possible,  in  a  mere  sketch  like  this,  to  do  justice  to  the 
importance  of  this  little  strip  of  land  or  to  record  its  important  part 
in  the  history  of  the  nation,  and  it  is  left  to  some  future  historian  to 
fill  in  the  spaces  and  follow  the  merely  suggestive  ideas  here  set 
down. 


OLD  HOMES. 


King  William  contains  many  relics  of  colonial  days,  but  none  so 
interesting  as  the  old  homesteads  of  the  Claibornes,  Braxtons,  Dand- 
ri'!s,'es,  Edwards',  Ayletts,  Langbornes,  Pollards,  etc.,  which  all  have 
tb-ir  peculiar  features  and  traditions.  In  these  old  mansions  a 
for-mer  generation  lived  in  lordly  manner,  and  entertained  with  lavish 
hospitality. 

Many  of  the  old  buildings  have  decayed  and  disappeared,  others 
^,  ■  mere  ruins,  while  a  few  have  been  preserved  with  zealous  care, 
'.  .  their  hearthstones  still  respond  to  the  touch  of  old-fashioned 
cDritorns. 

Time  was  when  King  William's  homes  resounded  with  mirth  and 
pleasure,  and  her  noble  sons  and  stately  daughters  spent  their  time 
in  routs  and  balls,  and  the  old  rafters  of  the  ancient  buildings  echoed 
to  the  music  and  graceful  steps  of  the  minuet.  The  visitings  and 
gomgs  about,  the  big  dinners  and  parties,  fish-fries  and  frolics  occu- 
pied their  time  to  the  exclusion  of  most  other  matters,  and  it  is  no 
wonder  the  old  churches  fell  into  decay.  The  parson,  however,  was 
liut  entirely  disregarded.  His  services  were  in  demand  for  weddings, 
christenings,  and  burials,  all  of  which  functions  were  made  the  occa- 
sion of  much  ceremony  and  feasting.  A  certain  gentleman  from 
N(  irth.  Carolina  having  wooed  and  won  a  charming  young  lady  of  King 
W'-llicim,  who  figures  in  this  record,  came  on  to  claim  his  bride,  and 
many!  times  have  I  heard  the  account  of  his  arrival  with  his  great 
yellov^  coach  and  six  splendid  black  horses,  with  grooms  and  footmen 
in  !ive;ry,  and  half  a  dozen  friends  as  outriders;  his  elegant  apparel 
ard  courtly  manners,  the  magnificent  jewels  and  presents  for  the 
biiueamaids  and  attendants.  How  a  whole  month  was  consumed  in 
•' one/ continual  round  of  pleasure"  ere  they  bade  farewell  and 
started  on  the  return  to  his  Carolina  home. 

A  most  interesting  stor)-  has  been  published  of  the  "Barons  of 
the  Potomac  and  Rappahannock."  The  "  Barons  of  the  Pamunkey 
'ui^    Mattapony"  would  be  fully  as  entertaining. 

In  King  William  the  cream  of  the  English  Cavaliers  first  made 
their    homes.       The   Claibornes,   Wests,   and  Dandridges,    Boilings,

Blands,  and  Wallers,  Cloptons,  Brownes,  Hills,  Pe)Atons,  Neales, 
and  many  others  directly  descended  from  or  connected  witli  the 
great  families  of  England,  might  set  up  their  claims  of  distinguished 
descent  with  any. 

Some  of  the  Old  Homes  are  referred  to  herein,  but  manj  .lave 
disappeared  not  only  from  view,  but  memory  itself  fails  to  conjure 
up  their  images. 

ACQUINTON  CHURCH. 

There  were  four  old  churches  in  King  William  County  |n  the 
early  part  of  the  eighteenth  century :  one  was  known  as  ' '  West 
Point"  Church,  another  generally  known  as  "Cat  Tail"  Church, 
"Mangohick"  in  the  extreme  upper  end  of  the  county,  and  \c- 
quinton, "  not  far  from  the  Court  House. 

Bishop  Meade,  in  his  "Old  Virginia  Parishes,"  refers  to  Acqj.iinton 
Church  in  the  following  language :  "  It  is  a  large  old  chui"ch  in 
the  form  of  a  cross,  having  the  aisles  paved  with  flagstones.' 
was  probably  misinformed  as  to  the  shape  of  the  buildin: 
description,  however,  agreeing  with  one  of  the  other  old  chlii-ciic> 
in  the  county.  Acquinton  Church  was  built  in  1732,  of  imixuteu 
glazed  brick,  and  was  rectangular  in  shape,  with  the  old-fasljuonen 
pulpit  in  the  form  of  an  inverted  bottle  just  inside  the  i  aiain 
entrance.  The  old  high-back  pews  therefore  faced  both  (pulpit 
and  door,  rendering  it  unnecessary  for  any  one  to  look  arou'nd  ti  ■ 
see  who  was  coming  into  church. 

It  was  abandoned  by  the  Episcopalians  about  one  hupidred 
years  ago,  and  subsequently  used  by  various  denominations,!  untu 
of  late  it  appears  to  have  fallen  exclusively  into  the  hanjds  if 
the  Methodists,  who  have  repaired  it  and  put  on  a  new  rocf 
(the  old  pointed  one  having  fallen  in),  removed  the  old  pew^;,  ani 
added  a  modern  pulpit.  It  was  at  this  church  that  the  celebr?.ti:d 
"Parson"  Skyren,  about  the  last  of  the  old  line  of  Epiacopl 
ministers,  preached  his  eloquent  sermons,  and  so  anxious  1  wer? 
the  people  to  hear  him  that  "they  brought  seats  with  them  "■  i 
filled  the  aisles  "  whenever  he  officiated.  1

Skyren  was  the  personal  friend  of  the  last  mentioned  couple,  and 
their  daughter,  Lucy  Skyren,  was  named  for  the  loved  pastor  and 
his  wife,  Lucy  Moore,  daughter  of  Bernard  Moore,  of  Chelsea. 

"The  Good  Parson"  moved  to  Hampton,  Virginia,  where  he 
died  and  is  buried,  and  Acquinton  Church  was  allowed  to  go  to 
ruin.  The  walls  are  the  same  as  erected  in  1732,  and  are  prob- 
ably safe  to  stand  another  century  or  two. 


ASPEN  GROVE. 

An  old  homestead  of  the  Littlepages,  and  the  former  residence 
of  Hardin  Littlepage,  who  was  one  of  the  Justices  in  King  William 
County  in  1799,  afterwards  the  residence  of  his  son.  Colonel 
Hardin  Littlepage,  the  father  of  Cornelia  Todd  Littlepage,  who 
married  Robert  Christopher  Hill,  the  present  occupant.  The  house 
is  over  one  hundred  years  old,  and  is  a  very  roomj'  and  com- 
fortable structure. 

AUBURN. 

This  was  the  old  home  of  Wilson  Coleman  Pemberton,  and 
built  by  him  over  one  hundred  years  ago.  It  is  a  very  substantial 
structure,  with  massive  timbers,  and  built  in  the  plain  style  of 
the  period. 

In  the  front  yard  is  a  stone  pedestal,  which  once  supported  a 
marble  basin,  the  old  baptismal  font  of  Acquinton  Church,  sent 
over  from  England  when  the  church  was  built  in  1732.  When 
the  old  Episcopal  churches  in  Virginia  were  practically  abandoned 
in  the  latter  part  of  the  last  century  this  relic  found  its  way  to 
the  Pemberton  place,  and  it  is  stated  that  old  Wilson  Pemberton 
and  his  sons  irreverently  washed  their  toil-stained  hands  in  the 
basin  for  many  years  when  returning  from  their  labor  in  the  field. 
The  basin  has  long  since  disappeared,  but  the  pedestal  remains  to 
show  to  what  base  uses  we   may  come. 


OLD  HOMES. 


BROADNECK. 

The  old  home  of  the  Page  and  Croxton  families.  The  present 
house  was  built  about  one  hundred  years  ago  by  James  Croxton, 
whose  tombstone  is  in  the  family  graveyard.     The  inscription  reads  : 

In   Memory  of 

James   Croxton.      Died  July   7,   1837, 

In  the   54th  year  of  his   age. 

Honoured   and  loved   in  life,  lamented   in  death. 


BROOKLYN. 

Present  home  of  John  Duval  Edwards,  but  formerly  the  prop- 
erty of  Jeremiah  Hooper,  who  lived  here  over  one  hundred  years 
ago.  He  was  engaged  in  the  wagon-making  and  blacksmithing 
business,  among  other  things,  as  is  evidenced  by  his  claim  proven 
against  the  estate  of  the  first  Ambrose  Edwards,  for  whom  he 
worked.  He  was  an  intelligent  man,  and  much  respected  by  his 
neighbors. 

CHERRY  GROVE. 

Near  the  center  of  King  William  County,  not  far  from  the  Court- 
House,  on  a  slight  eminence,  stands  the  original  homestead  of  the 
Edwards  family.  The  old  mansion  is  built  after  the  early  colonial 
style,  and  is  almost  exactly  similar  to  the  home  of  the  Washingtons 
at  Bridges  Creek. 

It  was  built  by  Ambrose  Edwards,  the  immigrant,  about  the 
middle  of  the  eighteenth  century,  on  a  tract  of  land  comprising 
about  four  thousand  acres,  "granted  him  by  the  King"  of  England, 
and  was  called  "Cherry  Grove,"  from  a  fine  group  of  cherr}'  trees 
which  formerly  grew  around  the  old  house. 

The  place  has  changed  but  little.  The  bricks  in  the  foundation 
and  great  old  chimneys  were  brought  over  from  England,  and  the 
timbers  and  laths  were  hewn  from  logs.      The  nails  were  fashioned 


c

OLD  HOMES. 


by  the  smith,  and  the  whole  structure  was  put  together  in  a  most 
substantial  manner. 

The  furniture,  some  of  which  is  as  old  as  the  house,  is  in  keeping 
with  its  ancient  surroundings.  There  is  an  old  desk  and  book-case 
where  Ambrose  Edwards  kept  his  papers,  and  a  marble-top  buffet, 
doubtless  greatly  admired  and  valued  by  its  early  possessor. 

The  property  has  been  handed  down  from  father  to  son,  and  is 
now  occupied  by  the  fifth  generation  of  Edwards',  all  of  whom  were 
reared  and  nurtured  beneath  its  wide-spreading  eaves.  Ambrose 
Edwards,  the  first,  lived  and  died  here  in  iSiO.  His  son  Ambrose 
occupied  it  until  his  death  in  1826.  Then  George  Edwards,  his 
grandson,  lived  here  until  he  was  summoned  to  his  last  account  in 
1867,  when  his  great-grandson,  William  Edwards,  inherited  and 
reared  his  large  family,  who  still  find  it  a  comfortable  dwelling-place. 

Near  the  old  home  is  the  last  resting-place  of  many  of  the  older 
members  of  the  family,  among  them  the  first  Ambrose  Edwards  and 
his  wife,  Wealthean  Butler,  and  while  no 

"  Storied  urn  or  animated  bust" 

marks  their  graves,  the  spot  should  be  a  hallowed  one  for  their  hun- 
dreds of  descendants  now  scattered  all  over  the  land. 

This  graveyard  is  an  object  of  peculiar  superstition  in  the  neigh- 
borhood, particularly  because  of  the  remarkably  fatal  consequences 
of  keeping  it  cleared  of  undergrowth.  It  is  stated  as  a  fact  that  no 
less  than  seven  darkies  have  suddenly  expired  after  working  in  the 
enclosure.  It  is  now  no  longer  possible  to  get  one  of  them  to 
approach  it,  and  the  mulberry  shoots  are  fast  becoming  trees. 


CLOVER  PLAIN. 

This  old  mansion  was  built  by  Thomas  Edwards,  about  1790, 
and  left  by  him  to  his  son,  Warner  Edwards,  who  dispensed  here 
for  many  years  a  royal  hospitality,  and  was  noted  for  his  enter- 
tainments.     He  was  a  large  slave-owner  and  an  extensive  farmer. 

Two  of  his  sons  were  in  the  Confederate  Army,  Lieutenant 
Kleber  and  Captain  Thomas,  the  latter  being  killed  at  Drewry's  Bluff. 


OLD  HOMES. 


COOL  SPRING. 

The  homestead  of  Colonel  Edmund  Littlepage.  The  old  house 
has  been  remodeled  of  late  years,  and  is  now  occupied  by  Suth- 
erland G.  Littlepage,  who  married  Lavinia  Corr. 

Here  are  buried  Colonel  Edmund  Littlepage  and  his  wife, 
besides  various  other  members  of  the  Littlepage  family.  There 
are  two  tombstones  here  which  have  excited  considerable  interest. 
One  monument  recites  that,  ' '  Here  lies  the  body  of  Captain  Henry 
Weber,  who  departed  this  life  on  the  14th  day  of  April,  1735, 
in  the  sixty-third  year  of  his  age."  There  is  no  evidence  of 
other  parties  of  this  name  in  King  William  County,  and  it  would 
be  curious  to  know  something  about  the  Captain,  and  what  took 
him  to  this  out-of-the-way  place.  The  other  monument  is  erected 
to  the  memory  of  Elder  William  D.  Hunter,  who  was  born  in 
Louisa  County,  May  26,  1806,  and  died  at  the  home  of  Mr.  Warner 
Edwards,  in  King  William  County,  July  6,  1854.  Mrs.  Sarah  A. 
Wingo,  the  daughter  of  Wilson  Coleman  Pemberton,  is  also  buried 
here. 

ELSING  GREEN. 

This  place  was  originally  owned  by  Colonel  William  Dandridge, 
who  married  Unity  West,  and  was  probably  named  for  the  village 
and  parish  of  Elsing  in  Norfolk,  England,  from  which  place  Colonel 
Dandridge  came. 

The  Dandridges,  Claibornes,  and  Brownes  intermarried,  and 
Elsing  Green  was  for  a  long  time  the  home  of  William  Burnett 
Browne,  the  son  of  the  Honorable  William  Browne,  of  Beverly, 
Massachusetts,  who  married  Mary,  daughter  of  William  Burnett 
(son  of  the  famous  Gilbert  Burnett,  Bishop  of  Salisbury),  who  was 
Provincial  Governor  of  New  York  and  of  Massachusetts;  born  1643, 
and  died  1729.  William  Burnett  Browne  was  a  descendant  of  Sir 
Thomas  Browne,  who  was  Treasurer  of  the  Household  to  Henry  VI, 
whose  son.  Sir  Anthony,  was  Standard  Bearer  to  Henry  VII,  and 
whose  son.  Sir  Anthony,  was  created  Viscount  Montacute. 


OLD  HOMES. 


William  Burnett  Browne  married  Judith  Carter,  and  left  the 
property  to  his  grandson,  William  Burnett  Claiborne,  on  condition 
that  the  latter  should  assume  his  name,  which  was  carried  out  by 
act  of  legislature. 

The  old  house  contained  many  valuable  articles,  among  them  a 
room  hung  \vith  Gobelin  tapestry,  and  a  copy  of  Holbein's  picture 
of  the  Viscount  Montacute,  presented  to  Bishop  Burnett  by  William 
of  Orange.  There  were  also  many  other  valuable  paintings,  and  every 
fireplace  in  the  house  was  originally  provided  wah  a  back  plate  of 
brass  representing  some  celebrated  episode  in  history.  There  is 
only  one  of  the  plates  left,  the  death  of  General  Wolfe,  with  the 
inscription  ' '  In  memory  of  James  Wolfe,  slain  at  Quebec,  January 
1st,   1779." 

The  house  has  been  destroyed  by  fire  twice,  but  the  walls  were 
so  substantially  built  that  they  were  but  little  damaged,  and  are 
practically  unchanged. 

Carter  Bra-xton,  one  of  the  signers  of  the  Declaration  of  Inde- 
pendence, lived  here  for  some  time.  He  rebuilt  the  house  in  1758, 
as  is  shown  by  an  inscription  above  the  door  on  the  west  side, 
containing  the  mitials  "  C.  B.  1758."  On  the  opposite  side  is 
another  inscription,  "  G.  B",  probably  for  George  Braxton,  father 
of  Carter  Bra.\ton.  There  is  another  and  more  recent  inscription 
of  "  R.  Gregory,  1842."  The  house  is  an  extensive  one,  built  in 
the  form  of  the  letter  "H,"  with  wide  halls  extending  from  north 
to  south  and  east  to  west,  and  very  high  ceilings.  During  the  late 
war  it  was  occupied  by  Federal  soldiers,  who  at  one  time  quartered 
their  horses  in  the  stone-paved  halls,  and  the  property  was  other- 
wise very  badly  treated.  The  present  owner  is  Judge  Roger 
Gregory,  of  the  Faculty  of  Richmond  College,  and  a  lawyer  of 
distinction.  The  property  has  been  in  the  Gregory  family  over 
one  hundred  years. 

In  a  grove  of  stately  trees,  a  few  hundred  yards  from  the  house, 
is  the  family  burying-ground  containing  many  monuments,  of  which 
a  few  are  noted,  as  follows:

OLD  HOMES. 


ENFIELD. 

The  original  home  of  the  Waller  family  in  King  William  County. 
The  house  is  situated  on  the  bank  of  the  Mattapony  River,  and 
the  land  is  part  of  the  original  grant  to  John  Waller  by  King 
Charles  II.  The  patent  is  still  in  e.xistence.  The  house  is  more 
than  one  hundred  and  fifty  years  old,  and  has  been  occupied  by 
a  long  line  of  Wallers. 

It  was  from  this  place  that  Benjamin  Waller,  who  married  a 
Miss  Travis,  started  to  Alabama  in  1820  in  wagons.  They  were 
two  months  on  the  road,  and  settled  at  Gainesville.  They  were 
the  parents  of  William,  John,  Judith  Page,  and  Logan  Waller. 
Mary  Waller,  of  this  family,  married  Thomas  Edwards  about  1780, 
and  another  daughter  married  William  Burke. 

FAIRFIELD. 

Part  of  the  original  grant  to  the  Ayletts  by  King  Charles  II. 
The  old  burial  place  of  the  Ayletts  is  here,  and  the  following 
inscriptions  are  taken  from  the  tombstones  : 

' '  Here  lies  interred  the  body  of  Martha  Aylett,  wife  of   Philip

(West)  Dandridge,  who  died  the  25th  April,  1747,  in  the  26th  year 

of  her  age  and  left  behind  two  daughters  and  two  sons.  Viz  :   Unity,

FOREST  VILLA. 

This  is  a  part  of  the  original  grant  to  Ambrose  Edwards,  who 
built  the  old  house  for  his  son  Thomas,  when  he  married  Mary 
Waller. 

At  the  death  of  Thomas  Edwards  the  property  was  left  to  his 
son  Butler,  who  was  born  here  in  1800,  and  at  his  death  Butler 
Edwards  willed  the  place  to  Kleber  Edwards,  the  present  owner  and 
occupant.  Butler  Edwards  married  a  daughter  of  Colonel  Carver 
King,  but  had  no  children.  His  estate  was  a  large  one,  and  he 
devoted  his  time  principally  to  fox  hunting  and  outdoor  pleasures. 
He  carried  on  a  large  distilling  plant,  and  his  old  Virginia  ' '  Peach 
and  Honey"  was  a  celebrated  beverage. 

The  house  has  been  added  to  in  recent  years,  but  the  older  part 
remains  as  an  example  of  the  architecture  of  one  hundred  years  ago. 

FRASCATI. 

This  fine  old  building,  while  not  directly  concerned  in  the  history 
of  King  William  County,  is  included  because  of  its  type  of  a  later 
class  of  colonial  structures,  and  because  it  is  now  occupied  by  the 
family  of  William  Henry  Lyne,  descendants  of  some  old  King  Will- 
iam families,  and  particularly  as  an  acknowledgment  to  Miss  Cassie 
Moncure  Lyne,  whose  intelligent  interest  in  the  subject  has  enabled 
the  writer  to  secure  a  great  deal  of  valuable  information  for  this 

volume.

It  is  located  in  Orange  County,  Virginia,  and  was  built  by  Judge 
Philip  Pendleton  Barbour,  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United 
States,  in  1825.  One  of  the  interesting  features  of  the  place  was  a 
large  flower  garden  surrounded  by  a  serpentine  brick  wall  covered 
with  English  ivy,  a  form  of  enclosure  rarely  found  in  this  country, 
but  frequently  seen  in  Europe,  where  ornamentation  is  added  to 
utility.  This  grand  old  mansion  is  one  of  the  best  examples  of 
colonial  architecture  in  the  State.  Its  interior  arrangement  and 
decorations  are  no  less  striking  than  its  massive  exterior. 

The  location  is  superb  —  on  an  elevation  at  the  foot  of  the  Blue 
Ridge  —  and  from  its  wide  portico  may  be  seen  the  mountains  of 
Albemarle,  and,  on  a  clear  day,  Montpelier,  the  home  of  President 
Madison,  is  visible. 

KING  WILLIAM  COURT  HOUSE. 

Among  the  colonial  buildings  in  Virginia  few  possess  the  interest 
of  this  old  structure,  which  was  built  in  the  early  part  of  the  eight- 
eenth century,  of  imported  material,  and  in  a  fashion  now  altogether 
out  of  date.  The  building  stands  in  a  space  enclosed  by  a  solid 
brick  wall,  and  is  surrounded  by  trees  as  old  as  itself. 

Many  of  the  most  prominent  lawyers  in  the  early  history  of  the 
Colony  fought  their  legal  battles  here,  and  great  questions  involv- 
ing the  rights  and  privileges  of  the  early  settlers  were  decided 
within  its  walls.  Its  old  records  were  mostly  destroyed  and  stolen 
during  the  late  war,  and  a  fire  subsequently  consumed  nearly  all 
that  remained.  While  other  counties  possess  more  imposing  judi- 
ciary structures,  it  is  doubtful  if  any  could  produce  its  equal  in 
historical  reminiscence. 

LANGBORNE. 

For  many  years  the  home  of  John  Pemberton,  who  built  the 
present  house,  a  substantial  brick  structure,  in  1845,  on  the  site  of 
the  old  Langborne  mansion.  John  Pemberton  was  doubly  con- 
nected with  the  Edwards  family,  and  was  a  man  of  great  force  of 
character  and  ability.  His  son  John  was  killed  in  the  Civil  War, 
dying  at  Richmond  from  wounds  received   in  the  attack  on  Fred-

ericksburg.  His  remains  lie  in  the  family  burying-ground  at  Lang- 
bome,  where  rest  also  members  of  that  once  noted  family.  The 
tombstones  which  mark  their  graves  here  on  the  bank  of  the 
Pamunkey  River  are  a  connecting  link  between  the  past  and  present 
and  make  the  spot  celebrated.

Also  the  tomb  of  Colonel  William  Langborne,  son  of  above, 
"A  hero  and  patriot  of  the  Revolution."  Died  18 14,  and  his  wife 
Elizabeth  died  1802. 

The  first  William  Langborne  married  Susanna  Smith,  of  ' '  Shoot-

The  second  William  Langborne  married  Elizabeth  Claiborne, 
and  had  an  only  son,  William,  who  died  at  the  age  of  twenty-two 
years,  when  the  name  became  extinct  in  Virginia,  but  the  blood 
still  flows  in  the  descendants  of  Mary  Langborne,  daughter  of  the

MONTVILLE. 

A  beautiful  place  near  the  village  of  Ayletts,  which  comprises  a  part 
of  the  original  grant  from  Charles  II  to  Captain  John  Aylett, 
whose  grandson,  Philip  Aylett,  married  Martha  Dandridge,  aunt  of 
Mrs.  Geti^ral  George  Washington.  The  present  house  was  built  in 
1803  by  William  Aylett. 

George  Washington  was  entertained  in  the  old  homestead  which 
preceded  the  present  house  on  the  memorable  trip  on  which  he  met

the  Widow  Custis,  v/hom  he  afterwards  married,  and  who  Hved  a  few 
miles  distant  on  the  Pamunkey  River. 

There  was  formerly  an  extensive  distillery  on  the  place  for  the 
manufacture  of  peach  and  apple  brandy.  Numerous  relics  are  pre- 
served here,  among  them  two  old  colonial  measures  of  brass  which 
the  English  Government  furnished  the  various  Colonies,  and  known 
as  " Standard  Winchester  Measures."  They  are  inscribed  respect- 
ively "King  William  J^  peck"  and  "  King  William  bushel."  The 
latter  weighs  between  eighty  and  ninety  pounds,  and  has  been  twice 
stolen  from  its  present  owner,  first  by  the  captain  of  a  schooner, 
who  induced  a  negro  to  steal  it,  and  carried  it  to  Norfolk,  selling  it 
for  ten  dollars.  Colonel  Aylett  traced  and  ultimately  recovered 
it,  and  both  the  negro  and  the  captain  were  punished  at  the  whip- 
ping post  before  the  abolition  of  that  institution  in  Virginia.  It 
was  stolen  a  second  time  and  traced  to  Richmond,  and  again 
recovered. 

There  is  preserved  here  a  sabre,  which  was  carried  by  one  of  the 
Ayletts  in  the  War  of  1 8 1 2  until  broken  in  a  hand-to-hand  encounter 
with  an  English  sailor;  also  a  pair  of  duelling  pistols,  which  have  a 
curious  history.  It  appears  that  in  1809  young  Philip  Aylett  was 
provided  by  his  father  with  a  negro,  two  horses,  five  hundred 
dollars,  and  a  gold  watch,  which  had  been  presented  to  his  mother 
by  Patrick  Henry,  and  young  Aylett  started  for  Tennessee  to  prac- 
tice law.  He  was  a  very  high-spirited  young  man  and  full  of  life. 
He  soon  got  rid  of  his  cash,  the  negro,  and  his  horses,  and  became 
involved  in  an  altercation  with  Colonel  Sam  Houston,  which  resulted 
in  a  duel.  Houston  furnished  the  weapons.  They  fired  twice  at 
each  other  at  thirty  paces,  but  neither  was  seriously  injured,  and 
they  became  subsequently  such  good  friends  that  Houston  made 
Aylett  a  present  of  the  pistols.  They  were  broken  and  disfigured 
by  Union  soldiers  during  the  late  war.  There  is  also  here  a  fishing 
kit,  which  has  been  in  the  Aylett  family  for  more  than  two  hundred 
years,  and  a  liquor  case  containing  six  decanters  and  two  goblets, 
which  has  participated  in  many  a  celebration  and  fish-fry  in  days 
gone  by. 

The  watch  referred  to  above  is  also  preserved  in  the  family  as 
a  precious  relic.

The  present  owner  of  the  place,  Colonel  William  Roane  Aylett, 
is  directly  descended  from  the  West  family,  whose  pedigree  is 
referred  to  elsewhere. 


MOUNT  PLEASANT. 

Now  owned  by  James  Armistead  Robins.  The  old  house  is  said 
to  have  been  built  by  the  Gregory  family  in  1734. 

MOUNT  ZOAR. 

The  old  home  of  the  Pollards,  now  owned  by  Edward  Spots- 
wood  Pollard,  Esquire,  previously  by  his  father,  Robert  Pollard,  and 
grandfather,  Robert  Pollard.  It  is  located  at  Ayletts,  a  little  village 
on  the  Mattapony  River.  The  old  house  was  an  imposing  structure, 
built  by  Robert  Pollard,  who  was  Clerk  of  King  William  County 
for  over  forty  years.  The  house  was  burned  in  1850  by  a  serving 
maid,  who  was  anxious  for  the  family  to  go  to  Richmond,  where 
she  had  a  lover.  It  was  rebuilt,  but  burned  again  in  1890,  and  the 
massive  chimneys  alone  remain. 

Robert  Pollard,  senior,  married  Martha  Russell,  of  French 
descent.  He  had  ten  sisters  and  brothers,  viz :  Anne,  Robert, 
Kate,  Sallie,  Edward,  Camm,  Elizabeth,  James,  and  Richard. 
His  children  were  as  follows:  Robert,  Byrd,  James  Otway,  William 
George,  Evelyn  Videlle,  Rosalie,  Maria  Ellen,  Ellen  Byrd,  Eliza 
Dandridge  (who  married  Major  Beverly  B.  Douglass),  and  Edward 
Spotswood,  married  Mary  Douglass,  in  Richmond  County. 

Robert  Pollard,  junior,  married,  1809,  Evelyn  Byrd  Chamber- 
layne,  daughter  of  Byrd  Chamberlayne,  of  King  William  County, 
buried  in  the  family  graveyard  along  with  many  others  of  the  same 
line.  Thomas  Chamberlayne,  the  father  of  Byrd  Chamberlayne, 
married  Wilhelmina,  a  daughter  of  William  Byrd,  of  Westover, 
and  was  lost  at  sea  with  his  son  Otway  Byrd  in  1 799,  while  Lieu-

RUMFORD  ACADEMY. 

This  is  one  of  the  oldest  places  of  education  in  the  State.  It 
dates  its  usefulness  from  the  beginning  of  the  present  century.  It 
was  built  and  formerly  endowed  by  the  proceeds  of  a  lottery,  as 
was  customary  in  those  days.  Spencer  Roane  was  one  of  the  com- 
missioners. It  was  originally  intended  as  a  preparatory  school  for 
William  and  Mary  College,  and  many  of  the  alumni  of  the  latter 
received  their  early  training  in  this  old  building.  It  is  constructed 
of  glazed  brick  imported  from  England,  and  is  renowned  for  the 
distinguished  men  and  women  who  learned  their  early  lessons  at 
"Old  Rumford." 

SPRING  BANK. 

Now  occupied  by  George  Haviland  Burke,  son  of  Robert  Burke 
and  grandson  of  Waller  Burke,  who  married  Mary  (Polly)  C. 
Edwards.  The  old  family  Bible  of  the  Burkes  here  contains  many 
interesting  items.     Little  can  be  learned  about  the  origin  of   the 

21 


OLD  HOMES. 


Burke  family.  William  Burke,  the  first  of  the  name  we  learn 
of,  settled  in  Virginia  about  1780.  He  married  a  Miss  Waller,  of 
"White  Bank,"  and  his  sons  intermarried  with  the  Edwards'. 
They  have  been  for  several  generations  substantial  citizens  of  King 
William  County,  and  were  conspicuous  for  their  devotion  to  the 
Southern  Confederacy,  a  number  of  them  entering  the  Confederate 
Army,  several  being  killed  in  the  defense  of  their  country  in  that 
great  struggle. 

SWEET  HALL. 

This  curious  old  house  was  built  about  1720,  and  was  one  of  the 
Claiborne  homesteads  for  many  years.  It  was  afterwards  occupied 
by  the  Ruffins,  who  dwelt  here  during  the  Revolutionary  War. 
The  next  occupant  was  a  man  named  Videlle,  who  committed 
suicide  in  one  of  the  rear  chambers.  Captain  Sterling  Lipscomb, 
father-in-law  of  the  present  occupant,  R.  T.  Puller,  then  acquired 
the  property,  and  it  has  remained  in  the  Lipscomb  family  since. 

The  windows  in  the  house  are  constructed  unusually  high  in 
order  to  prevent  the  Indians  from  shooting  arrows  in  the  rooms 
from  their  canoes  on  the  Pamunkey  River,  which  flows  at  the  foot 
of  the  hill  on  which  it  stands. 

Here  is  located  the  old  Sweet  Hall  Ferry,  established  about 
two  hundred  years  ago,  and  which,  by  a  provision  in  the  Code  of 
Virginia,  is  allowed  to  charge  eight  cents  for  each  horse  and  eight 
cents  for  each  man  carried  over,  and  no  more. 

There  are  several  noted  tombstones  on  the  place:

WATERVILLE. 


This  place  was  formerly  known  as  ' '  Windsor  Shade, "  and  is 
situated  on  a  high  bluff  overlooking  the  Pamunkey  River.  The 
house  was  built  by  James  Ruffin  in  1794,  and  is  very  large  and 
roomy,  with  massive  foundations  of  stone.  The  space  between 
the  walls  and  weather-boarding  is  filled  with  brick  and  mortar,  and 
the  house  was  esteemed  a  fortress  in  those  days.

OLD  HOMES. 


There  is  preserved  here  a  piece  of  pig  iron,  which  was  smelted 
at  the  old  "  Principio  Furnace,"  with  which  George  Washington's 
father  had  the  contract  for  hauling  ore  in  1750,  and  as  the  relic 
bears  the  inscription  "Principio  1750,"  it  is  probable  that  Augustine 
Washington  may  have  handled  this  very  piece. 

The  place  is  now  owned  by  Henry  Corr,  son  of  Captain  Henry 
Corr  and  Lucy  Ammon  Lipscomb. 

There  are  on  the  place  the  ruins  of  a  much  older  house,  one 
of  the  bricks  of  which  has  been  preserved  bearing  date  1600,  and 
was  undoubtedly  imported  from  England  soon  after  the  settlement 
of  the  Colony.

OLD  FAMILIES. 


ALLEN  AND  TRIMBLE. 

Captain  James  Trimble  was  born  in  Augusta  County,  Virginia,  in 
1756,  and  was  reared  amidst  the  dangerous  surroundings  of  pioneer  life 
in  that  wild  section.  His  father,  John  Trimble,  appeared  before  the 
Orange  County  Court  in  1740  with  Alexander  Breckinridge,  David 
Logan,  and  others,  to  prove  their  importation,  and  was  subsequently 
killed  by  the  Indians,  and  Captain  James  Trimble  was  himself  taken 
prisoner  and  adopted  by  one  of  the  chiefs.  He  was  rescued  by  his  half- 
brother,  Captain  John  Moffett  (their  mother  being  Sarah,  daughter 
of  John  McDowell  and  Magdalena  Wood,  who  married  first  George 
Moffet,  second  John  Trimble),  and  at  the  age  of  eighteen  participated 
in  the  bloody  battle  of  Point  Pleasant.  He  afterward  served  in  the 
Revolutionary  War  under  General  Lewis.  He  married  Jane  Allen 
about  1780,  the  daughter  of  James  and  (Peggy)  Margaret  Allen,  of 
Augusta  County,  Virginia,  who  was  born  March  15,  1755.  Her  ~~ 
father,  James  Allen,  and  uncle,  Hugh  Allen,  had  been  noted  Indian 
fighters.     The  latter  was  killed  at  the  Battle  of  Point  Pleasant. 

The  Aliens  and  Trimbles  were  neighbors  and  connected  by  inter-    | 
marriages,  and  after  the  Revolutionary  War  removed  to  Kentucky,    ' 
in  the  great  Company  of  Emigrants   under   command  of    General 
Knox,  and  settled  in  Fayette  County.     They  were  conspicuous  in   • 
the  early  history  of  Kentucky,  and  left  many  descendants.     Captain 
James  Trimble  acquired  much  property  and  many  slaves,  and,  hav- 
ing scruples  about  the  institution  of  slavery,  made  application  to  the 
courts  at  Lexington  for  power  to  manumit  them.      His  request  was 
several  times  refused,    but  finally  granted   through    the    efforts   of 
Henry  Clay,  then  a  young  lawj'er  from  Virginia,  who  was  beginning 
to  make  his  powers  known.

also  United  States  Senator,  dying  while  a  member  of  the  Senate 
at  the  age  of  thirty-five  years,  in  1821;  Joseph  M.  Trimble  was  a 
prominent  preacher,  and  Doctor  Cary  Trimble  was  a  member  of 
Congress.  The  Aliens  referred  to  in  the  Edwards  Genealogy

pendence, was  the  son  of  George  Braxton,  a  wealthy  planter  of 
"  Newington,"  King  and  Queen  County,  where  he  was  born,  Septem- 
ber lo,  1736.  His  mother  was  the  daughter  of  Robert,  known  as 
"King"  Carter,  President  of  the  Colonial  Council.  Carter  Braxton 
was  educated  at  William  and  Mary  College.  He  inherited  a  con- 
siderable estate  from  his  father,  which  was  largely  increased  by  his 
marriage,  at  the  age  of  nineteen,  on  July  16,  1755,  with  Judith,  the 
daughter  of  Christopher  Robinson,  of  Middlesex,  by  the  consent  of 
his  guardian,  Colonel  Humphrey  Hill,  of  Hillsborough.  He  built 
the  mansion  at  "Elsing  Green"  in  1758.  His  wife  died  after  a 
few  years,  and  he  traveled  in  Europe  for  some  time  before  entering 
into  the  active  public  life  which  is  too  well  known  to  require 
repetition  here.

Archbishop  of  Canterbury  in  11 93,  and  Chancellor,  Chief  Justice, 
and  Treasurer  of  England.  Theobald  Walter,  the  son  of  Herveius, 
accompanied  Henry  H  to  Ireland  in  1171,  and  was  created  Chief 
Butler  of  Ireland  in  1177,  hence  the  name  Butler.  The  family 
rapidly  increased  in  power  and  wealth  and  received  various  titles 
and  honors.

OLD  FAMILIES. 


James,  the  seventh  Butler  and  second  Earl  Carrick,  obtained 
license  for  the  sum  of  two  thousand  marks  to  marry  whom  he 
pleased,  and  selected  Eleanor,  daughter  of  Humphrey  de  Bohun, 
whose  wife  was  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Edward  I,  and  his  wife  the 
celebrated  Eleanor  of  Castile.  On  account  of  this  alliance  with  the 
Plantagenets,  James  Butler  was  created  Earl  of  Ormonde. 

Thomas  the  seventh  Earl  of  Ormonde's  daughter  Margaret  mar- 
ried Sir  William  Boleyne,  whose  daughter  Anne  was  one  of  the 
unfortunate  wives  of  Henry  VIII,  by  whom  she  was  beheaded. 

Walter  Butler,  of  Kilcash,  grandson  of  James,  ninth  Earl  of 
Ormonde,  had  a  son  Thomas,  who  succeeded  to  the  title  as  eleventh 
Earl,  his  elder  brother  dying  without  male  issue  ;  but  his  estates 
were  confiscated  by  King  James,  and  he  was  for  eight  years  a 
prisoner  in  the  Fleet.  He  regained  his  liberty  and  married  Helena, 
eldest  daughter  of  Edmund,  Viscount  Montgarret,  and  had  a  son 
Thomas  and  several  daughters. 

Governor  Alexander  Spotswood  was  a  favorite  of  the  old  Duke 
of  Marlborough,  and  through  his  influence  was  appointed  Governor 
of  the  Virginia  Colony.  He  married  Butler  Brayne,  the  grand- 
daughter of  the  above  Sir  Walter  Butler,  eleventh  Earl  of  Ormonde, 
and  came  to  Virginia.  One  of  their  daughters,  Anne  Butler,  mar- 
ried Bernard  Moore,  of  Chelsea,  King  William  County,  and  left 
many  noted  descendants,  among  them  Anne  Butler,  who  married 
Charles  Carter,  of  "Shirley,  "  grandparents  of  General  Robert  E. 
Lee;  Lucy,  who  married  Reverend  Henry  E.  Skyren,  the  noted 
minister  of  Acquinton  Church,  and  others.  Mrs.  Bernard  Moore 
was  a  great  beauty.  Mrs.  Robert  Dunbar,  of  Falmouth,  a  grand- 
daughter of  Lady  Spotswood,  left  a  description  of  how  ' '  she 
appeared  in  a  fawn-colored  satin,  square  in  the  neck,  over  a  blue 
satin  petticoat,  with  satin  shoes  and  buckles  to  match  on  her  very 
small  and  beautifully  shaped  feet." 

Representatives  of  this  family  settled  in  Virginia  at  a  very  early 
date.  There  were  several  branches  resident  there  early  in  the 
seventeenth  century.  There  was  an  Edward  Butler  living  in  Vir- 
ginia, February  i6,  1623  ;  Francis  Butler  in  the  muster  of  Govern- 
or's men  at  "  Pasbehaighs, "  who  came  in  the  "  Bonaventure, "  aged 
eighteen;    George  Butler   came  in   the    "David"  from   Gravesend,

September,  1635;  Henry  and  John  Butler  in  the  "Assurance"  from 
London,  July,  1635  (there  was  a  John  Butler  in  the  London  Com- 
pany); John  Butler  came  in  the  "  Safety,"  August,  1635,  and  another 
John  Butler  in  the  "George,"  August,  1635;  John  Butler  in  the 
"Falcon,"  December,  1635;  John  Butler  from  Barbadoes  to  Vir- 
ginia, July  4,  1679,  and  a  James  Butler  from  same  place  in  Decem- 
ber, 1679,  bringing  three  negro  servants.  The  direct  line  of 
Wealthean  Butler,  the  wife  of  Ambrose  Edwards,  is  difficult  to 
determine.  She  was  known  to  be  related  to  Colonel  Reuben  Butler, 
of  the  Revolutionary  War,  and  is  said  to  have  been  descended  from 
the  same  family  as  Jane  Butler,  the  first  wife  of  Augustine  Wash- 
ington, and  whose  father  was  Major  Caleb  Butler,  of  Westmoreland. 
Isaac  A.  Butler,  now  living  at  Ante,  Virginia,  is  undoubtedly  of  this 
family,  and  his  father,  W.  R.  Butler,  was  the  son  of  William  Butler, 
who  had  a  brother  Percival  Butler,  who  went  to  Kentucky.  From 
a  reliable  source  it  is  learned  that  this  family  intermarried  with  the 
King  William  Edwards  about  the  middle  of  last  century  {vide, 
Ambrose  Edwards,  who  married  Wealthean  Butler).  These  Butlers 
claim  descent  from  the  Butlers  of  "Dunboyne"  and  "Ormonde," 
mentioned  as  among  the  most  eminent  of  the  Anglo-Norman  families 
in  Ireland.  The  coat  of  arms  of  the  Virginia  Butler  family  is  the 
same,  and  later  was  quartered  with  that  of  the  Beckwiths,  with  whom 
they  intermarried.  The  name  of  Peirce  or  Percival  is  frequently 
repeated  in  the  descendants,  and  the  line  is  a  noted  one.  John 
Bartholomew  Depuy,  one  of  the  Huguenot  emigrants,  had  a  son, 
James  L.  Depuy,  who  married  Amanda  Butler,  and  his  son  Reuben 
married  a  Ruffin.  Thomas  Butler  was  one  of  the  executors  of 
William  Aylett's  will.  Mr.  Lawrence  Washington  had  a  silver 
waiter  with  the  Butler-Beckwith  arms  engraved  thereon.  Beckwith 
Butler  was  guardian  of  the  children  of  Margaret,  the  widow  of 
William  Robinson.  Lawrence  Butler,  William  Aylett,  and  John 
Washington  were  witnesses  to  the  deed  from  Roger  Gregory  con- 
veying the  Mount  Vernon  estate  to  Augustine  Washington  in  1726. 
Lawrence  Washington  left  "his  Godson,  Lawrence  Butler,  a  tract 
of  land  adjoining  Meredith  Edwards  '  in  1697.

CLAIBORNE. 

The  name  Cliburne,  now  spelled  Claiborne,  is  first  mentioned 
in  the  Domesday  Survey  Book,  a.  d.  1086,  Volume  i,  234,  where 
the  Leicestershire  possessions  of  Robert  de  Veci,  who  inherited  the 
lands  of  Ethelric,  are  mentioned.  The  property  was  divided  into 
two  Moieties,  Cliburn  Tailbois  and  Cliburn  Hervey  —  the  former 
derived  from  the  Barons  of  Kendal,  the  latter  from  Hervey  de  Veci  « 
le  Breton.  There  is  some  obscurity  about  the  descent  in  the 
eleventh  and  twelfth  centuries,  but  the  line  appears  to  be  as  follows: 

Hervey  DE  Cliburn.     A.  D.  1134. 

Hervey  de  Cliburn.      A.  D.  1174.

cred,  Seneschal  of  Knaresborough.  There  is  a  brass  and  a 
memorial  window  in  Cliburn  Church,  near  Penrith,  referring 
to  the  above.  From  Hervey  de  Cliburne  the  line  is  as 
follows

grandson,  Duncan  I,  was  murdered  by  Macbeth  in  1041), 
and  the  "  Ancient  Kings, "  beginning  with  Alpin,  who  died

COLE. 

There  were  several  William  Coles  in  the  early  history  of  the 
Colony.  William  Cole  came  to  Virginia  in  161 8,  aged  nineteen 
years,  and  was  Burgess  for  "Nutmeg  Quarter,"  in  Warwick  County, 
1629.  He  is  thought  to  have  been  the  father  of  William  Cole,  of 
the  Council,  and  they  were  supposed  to  be  descended  from  Sir 
William  Cole,  First  Provost  of  Ennis-Killen,  who  commanded  a 
regiment  against  the  Rebels  in  Ireland  in  1643. 

Mr.  Richard  Gregory,  born  January  12,  1758,  son  of  Roger 
Gregory  and  Mary  Cole  Claiborne,  left  a  written  statement,  which 
was  prepared  by  him,  and  which  reads  as  follows: 

"There  were  two  sisters,  named  Mary  Cole  and  Jane  Cole.  Mary 
married  a  Mr.  West,  a  lineal  descendant  of  Lord  Delaware,  by  whom  she 
had  two  sons,  John  and  Thomas  West.  After  the  death  of  Mr.  West,  Mary 
married  Ferdinand  Leigh,  by  whom  she  had  a  son  and  a  daughter,  named 
William  and  Mary.  William  Leigh  married  a  Miss  Watkins,  of  Chesterfield, 
by  whom  she  had  Benjamin  Watkins  Leigh  and  several  daughters.  Jane 
Cole,  the  other  sister,  married  Colonel  Nathaniel  Claiborne,  by  whom  she 
had  two  sons,  viz.,  Thomas  and  William,  and  five  daughters,  namely,  Mary 
Cole  and  others.  Mary  Cole  Claiborne  married  Roger  Gregory,  by  whom 
she  had  Richard  and  four  other  sons,  and  a  daughter  named  Mary  Cole,  who 
married  Herbert  Claiborne,  of  Dinwiddle,  and  died  after  the  birth  of  her  son, 
Gregory  Claiborne.      After  the  death  of  Colonel  Nathaniel  Claiborne,   Jane

OLD  FAMILIES. 


Claiborne  married  Stephen  Bingham,  by  whom  she  had  a  son  named  Roscoe 
Cole  Bingham.  After  the  death  of  Bingham  she  married  Colonel  Francis 
'^West,  by  whom  she  had  three  sons,  Roger,  Richard,  and  West  Gregory,  and 
several  daughters.  Roger  Gregory  (my  father)  married  Mary  Cole  Clai- 
borne, by  whom  he  had  Richard  and  four  other  sons  and  a  daughter,  as 
before  stated." 

The  same  facts,  with  additional  data  below,  were  taken  from  the 
Bible  of  Richard  Gregory,  which  was  owned  by  Doctor  William  W. 
Gregory,  of  Charlotte,  North  Carolina : 

"Roger  Gregory,  my  father,  married  Mary  Cole  Claiborne,  and  had 
Richard  and  five  other  children,  as  stated  above. 

' '  Richard  married  the  widow  of  William  Broadnax,  who  was  the  daughter 
of  Colonel  Seth  Ward,  and  had  four  children,  Martha,  Richard,  Maria,  and 
Seth. 

"Martha  married  General  John  Pegram,  of  Dinwiddle  County,  and  had 
five  sons,  James  West  Pegram  and  four  others,  and  several  daughters. 

' '  Richard  Gregory  married,  secondly,  Elizabeth  Wilkinson,  daughter  of 
Colonel  Nathaniel  Wilkinson,  of  Henrico  County,  by  whom  he  had  William 
W.  Gregory,  four  sons  and  six  daughters. 

"Doctor  William  W.  Gregory  married  Elizabeth  R.  Taylor,  daughter  of

.  COLEMAN. 

This  family  had  many  representatives  in  the  latter  half  of  the 
last  century.  We  do  not  find  any  connected  data.  James  Coleman 
was  Godfather  of  Ambrose  Madison,  brother  of  President  James 
Madison,  March  2,  1756.  Jane  Coleman,  who  married  John  Pem- 
berton,  was  probably  the  daughter  of  Robert  Coleman,  of  Culpeper 
County,  who  married  Sarah  Anne  Saunders,  and  died  about  1793. 
The  town  of  Fairfax,  now  Culpeper  Court  House,  was  founded  on 
fifty  acres  of  his  land  in  1759.  Sarah  Anne  Coleman  married

DANDRIDGE. 

Colonel  William  Dandridge,  of  "Elsing  Green,"  and  Colonel 
John  Dandridge,  of  New  Kent,  were  probably  brothers.  They 
settled  on  opposite  sides  of  the  Pamunkey  River.  They  bore  the 
same  arms  as  the  Dandridges  of  Great  Malvern,  Worcestershire, 
England. 

Colonel  William  Dandridge  built  a  wharf  at  Hampton  in  17 17. 
He  married  Euphan,  probably  the  daughter  of  James  Wallace,  and 
widow  of  Wilson  Roscoe.  He  moved  to  King  William  County  prior 
to  17 19  (his  first  wife  being  dead),  and  married  Unity,  daughter  of 
Colonel  Nathaniel  West.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Council  in  1727, 
and  subsequently  received  a  Commission  in  the  Royal  Navy,  and 
commanded  the  "South  Sea,"  and  participated  in  the  attack  on 
St.  Augustine  and  the  siege  of  Carthagena.  He  died  1743.  Of  his

Colonel  John  Dandridge  was  doubtless  a  younger  brother  of 
Colonel  William  Dandridge.  He  married,  July  22,  1730,  Frances, 
daughter  of  Orlando  Jones,  Burgess  from  King  William  County,  and 
h^d  numerous  children,  among  them  Martha,  who  was  born  June  21, 
173 1,  and  married,  first,  1749,  Colonel  Daniel  Parke  Custis,  and 
after  his  death  married,  second,  January  6,  1759,  Colonel  George 
Washington. 

DICKEY-DUNBAR. 

The  Dunbars,  of  Scotland,  are  descendants  of  the  Earls  of 
March  and  Dunbar,  who  claimed  descent  from  Gospatrick,  Ruler  of 
Northumberland,  one  of  the  seven  Saxon  Kingdoms.  Hancock 
Dunbar  Edwards,  who  lived  in  Saline  County,  Missouri,  in  July, 
1880,  stated  that  he  was  then  seventy-five  years  old,  and  that  he 
was  descended  through  his  mother  from  the  above  family,  and 
claimed  a  connection  with  Colonel  Dunbar,  who  is  frequently  men- 
tioned in  the  "  Dinwiddie  Papers."  Colonel  Dunbar  was  in  com- 
mand of  the  British  troops  who  suffered  so  severely  in  ' '  Braddock's 
Defeat."     Other  Dunbars  settled  in  the  Virginia  Colony. 

Daniel  Dunbar  was  one  of  the  appraisers  of  the  estate  of 
Matthias  Hubard,  in  York  County,   1667. 

Robert  Dunbar  was  a  Scotch  merchant  at  Falmouth,  and  prior 
to  1794  married  Elizabeth  Gregory,  daughter  of  Francis  Thornton 
and  Anne  Thompson,  and  granddaughter  of  Francis  Thornton  and 
Frances  Gregory,  the  daughter  of  Roger  Gregory  and  Mildred 
Washington. 

Reverend    Hancock    Dunbar    was    minister    in    Saint    Stephen's 
^Parish,  King  and  Queen  County,  1754  to  1774. 

James  Dickey  married  Joanna,  the  daughter  of  Reverend  Iverson 
Lewis,  born  1741,  and  Frances  Byrd,  of  King  and  Queen  County. 
One  of  the  Dickeys  married  a  daughter  of  Reverend  Hancock  Dun- 
bar, and  had  two  daughters,  Mary  Dunbar  and  Barbara. 

James  Edwards,  son  of  Ambrose  Edwards,  the  first,  married 
Mary  Dunbar  Dickey,  and  it  was  their  son,  Hancock  Dunbar 
Edwards,  who  is  referred  to  at  the  beginning  of  this  sketch.  Mary 
Dunbar  Dickey's  sister  Barbara  never  married.

Lancaster  County.

EDWARDS. 

The  name  of  Edwards  is  frequently  found  in  the  early  annals  of 
Virginia,  and  the  first  of  the  name  appears  to  have  reached  the 
Colony  soon  after  the  settlement  at  Jamestown.  There  was  a  John 
Edwards,  of  "Northumberland  House,"  in  1653,  from  whom  the 
descent  of  many  Edwards'  in  Virginia  is  claimed,  and  the  families  of 
Hayden  Ed^wards  in  Kentucky  and  Ninian  Edwards  in  Illinois  are 
doubtless  descended  from  that  source.  Then  there  was  a  Richard 
Edwards  in  Virginia  in  1694,  from  whom  was  probably  descended 
Thomas  Edwards,  the  old  Clerk  of  Lancaster  County,  Leroy 
Edwards,  Griffin  Edwards,  and  many  others  of  that  line  ;  but  so  far 
as  our  investigation  extends  there  is  no  direct  connection  between 
the  above  families  and  the  King  William  Edwards',  whose  line  is 
recorded  here,  unless  we  e.xcept  the  probable  common  descent  of 
all  the  Edwards'  from  the  ancient  family  of  that  name  in  Wales, 
where  the  Edwards  can  be  traced  back  for  more  than  six  hundred 
years. 

The  King  William  Edwards  family  dates  back  to  about  1745, 
when  Ambrose  Edwards  settled  in  King  William  County,  Virginia, 
"on  a  large  tract  of  land  granted  by  the  King,"  and  while  we  have 
been  unable  to  discover  any  mention  of  said  grant  in  any  of  the 
available  records,  yet  it  is  asserted  that  the  original  patent  is  in 
existence,  and  is  ' '  supposed  to  be  among  the  papers  of  the  Virginia 
Historical  Society."  The  King  William  County  Records  have  been 
twice  destroyed  by  fire,  and  the  ordinary  sources  of  information  in 
that  direction  are  cut  off.  However,  it  is  known  that  Ambrose 
Edwards  possessed  a  large  tract  of  land,  comprising  several  thousand 
acres,  which  was  divided  among  his  heirs  at  his  death,  and  a  great 
deal  of  it  is  still  held  by  his  descendants. 

It  appears  that  some  time  previous  to  1745  "a  clergyman  of  the 
Church  of  England,"  named  Edwards,  emigrated  to  America  with 
his    three    sons,   named    respectively   Robert,   John,    and    Ambrose. 

41 


OLD  FAMILIES. 


Robert  settled  in  New  York  and  acquired  considerable  property. 
\(See  Edwards'  Estate.)  John  settled  in  South  Carolina,  married, 
and  left  numerous  descendants  scattered  throughout  the  Southern 
States.  Ambrose  located  in  King  William  County,  Virginia,  where 
he  continued  to  reside  until  his  death  in  1810.  It  is  said  that  his 
father  and  brother  Robert  visited  him  about  1770.  Nothing  further 
is  known  of  the  father,  except  the  tradition  that  he  died  in  America. 
Robert  returned  to  England. 

Ambrose  Edwards  was  born  in  England,  about  1726.  Emigrated 
to  Virginia  about  1745,  and  settled  in  King  William  County.  He 
built  a  fine  colonial  mansion  which  he  called  "Cherry  Grove,"  and 
the  quaint  old  house,  now  gray  with  age,  which  remains  in  very  fair 
condition  to  this  day,  has  been  occupied  by  five  generations  of  the 
Edwards  family.  He  married,  about  1750,  Wealthean  Butler, 
whose  origin  is  undetermined.  There  are  a  number  of  the  descend- 
ants of  the  Butler  family  still  living  in  this  and  the  adjoining  counties, 
but  their  family  records  do  not  extend  so  far  back.  The  name  has 
been  repeated  so  often  in  the  descendants  that  it  is  surmised  her 
family  was  of  some  distinction,  and  as  her  husband  was  educated, 
refined,  and  of  ample  means,  it  is  hardly  likely  he  would  have 
chosen  a  wife  with  other  characteristics.  It  is  noted  that  the  first 
wife  of  Augustine  Washington  was  Jane  Butler,  the  daughter  of 
Colonel  Caleb  Butler,  and  there  is  a  tradition  in  the  family  that 
Wealthean  was  descended  from  the  same  stock.  The  fruit  of  this 
marriage  were  five  sons  and  four  daughters,  who  grew  to  mature 
age  and  intermarried  with  the  neighboring  families,  and  all  of  whom 
left  descendants. 

Ambrose  Edwards  lived  in  considerable  style,  and  in  addition  to 
farming  conducted  a  mill,  distillery,  and  perhaps  other  enterprises. 
His  old  papers  show  the  magnitude  and  latitude  of  his  transactions, 
and  his  shipments  of  tobacco  to  Page's  Richmond  Warehouse  were 
not  the  least  important.  His  hogsheads  were  marked  with  his 
monogram,  J^.  He  was  also  a  money  lender,  as  evidenced  by 
sundry  notes  and  bonds  held  by  him  at  his  death. 

Late  in  life  he  contracted  a  second  marriage  with  Barbara,  the 
widow  of  Henry  Finch,  and  entered  into  an  ante-nuptial  agreement, 
of  record  in  King  William  County,  which,  among  other  provisions,

recites  :  "  Whereas,  a  marriage  is  shortly  to  be  had  and  solemnized 
by  the  blessing  of  Almighty  God,  by  and  between  the  said  Ambrose 
Edwards  and  Barbara  Finch,  and  whereas,  the  said  Barbara  Finch 
is  possessed  of  considerable  estate,  both  real  and  personal,"  it  was 
agreed  that  she  should  have  full  control  of  her  own  property,  and 
in  the  event  of  his  prior  demise  she  was  to  make  no  claim  on  his 
estate.  This  contract  was  recorded  December  22,  1800.  There 
was  no  issue  from  this  marriage.  He  died  the  latter  part  of  Decem- 
ber, 1 8 10,  and  was  buried  in  the  family  burying-ground  at  "Cherry 
Grove."  His  sons,  Samuel,  James,  Ambrose,  and  Thomas  were 
appointed  executors  of  his  will,  and  his  large  estate  was  divided  and 
settled  during  the  ensuing  year.  The  original  papers,  showing  many 
curious  details,  are  in  existence,  and  there  is  abundant  evidence  of 
his  position  and  worth.  He  was  attended  in  his  last  illness  by  his 
friend.  Doctor  William  P.  Claiborne,  whose  bill  for  services  is  a 
peculiar  document.  Some  of  his  old  accounts  show  the  curious 
customs  of  the  times.  He  always  laid  in  just  before  Christmas  a 
goodly  supply  of  whisky  and  Antigua  rum,  a  suggestion  of  egg-nogg 
and  Yule-tide  festivities.  His  coffin  was  furnished  by  Reuben 
Dugar,  and  cost  twelve  dollars,  the  same  amount  being  paid  to  the 
minister.  Reverend  John  Mill,  who  officiated  at  his  funeral,  on  which 
occasion  it  appears  twenty  gallons  of  wine,  besides  other  refresh- 
ments, were  consumed  by  his  sorrowing  friends. 

The  last  visit  of  Doctor  Claiborne  was  on  December  23,  18 10, 
probably  the  date  of  his  death,  and  his  will  was  probated  in  January 
following.  He  was  buried  in  the  old  family  graveyard  at  ' '  Cherry 
Grove,"  where  a  stone  formerly  marked  the  place,  but  is  no  longer 
perceptible. 

Regarding  the  English  ancestry  of  this  family  mucli  inquiry  has 
been  made  without  tangible  results.  Ambrose  Edwards  brought 
with  him  a  seal,  or  coat-of-arms,  which  was  handed  down  in  the 
family,  but  finally  lost  or  stolen,  and  only  indifferent  descriptions  can 
be  obtained.  In  this  connection  the  following  account  of  the 
Edwards',  of  York,  has  been  received,  and  the  arms  correspond 
somewhat  with  the  vague  descriptions  of  Ambrose  Edwards'  seal. 
The  fact  that  there  was  a  clergyman  in  the  English  family,  contem- 
porary with  the  English  clergyman  who  came  to  America,  bringing

his  three    sons,    is    curious    but    not    necessarily    conclusive.       The 
record  is  given  as  received,  and  may  prove  a  clew : 

EDWARDS"    OF    YORK. 

William  Edwards  was  of  an  ancient  Welsh  family  who  settled  in  Yorkshire. 
Served  as  Lieutenant-Colonel  in  the  Civil  Wars,  under 
Charles  I,  and  lost  his  life,  and  his  lands  were  sequestrated. 
He  married  the  sister  or  aunt  of  Sir  Solomon  Swale,  of 
Swaledale,  in  the  county  of  York.  Does  not  appear  to 
have  had  issue.      His  brother. 

Sir  James  Edwards,  Knight,  was  Lord-Mayor  of  London,  in  1679,  and 
loaned  King  Charles  II  thirty  thousand  pounds  while  that 
prince  was  in  exile  at  Breda,  which  debt  was  honorably 
discharged  after  the  restoration,  when  he  received  the  honor 
of  knighthood.  He  died  13th  February,  1690;  was  buried 
at  Guildhall  Chapel,  London,  and  was  succeeded  by  his 
nephew, 

James  Edwards,  Esq.,  who  was  created  a  baronet  7th  December,  1691. 
This  Sir  James  was  of  Reedham  Hall,  in  Norfolk,  of  which 
county  he  was  Sheriff  in  1696.  He  was  also  a  Gentleman 
of  the  Privy  Chamber  of  the  King.  He  married  twice :  first, 
the  daughter  of  Mr.  Alderman  Wright,  of  York,  and  had  a 
son  named  James,  who  succeeded  him.  He  married, 
secondly.  Miss  Howell,  of  Hackey,  and  had  one  son,  who 
was  a  clergyman,  and  four  daughters,  Meriel,  Sarah,  Cather- 
ine, and  Jane.  He  died  in  March,  1702,  and  was  succeeded 
by  his  older  son, 

James  Edwards,  Bart.,  F.  R.  S.,  who  married,  in  17 18,  Mary,  only  daughter 
and  heir  of  Matthew  Kirby,  D.  D.,  of  Walton-upon-Thames. 
He  left  no  issue,  and  died  in  1744,  and  was  succeeded  by 
his  half-brother, 

Sir  Nathaniel  Edwards,  Bart.,  Clerk,  Vicar  of  Weybridge,  in  Surrey,  who 
died  unmarried  loth  March,  1764,  when  the  baronetcy 
became  extinct.  Arms:  Erm.,  a  lion  rampant  guardant,  az.

DOCTOR    LEMUEL    EDWARDS. 
"By  their  fruits  ye  shall   know  them." 

The  subject  of  this  sketch  was  born  in  King  William  County, 
Virginia.  His  mother  died  wh«n  he  was  ten  years  of  age,  and  his 
father  seven  years  later.  He  was  employed  in  a  store  at  King 
William  Court  House  at  thirteen,  and  a  year  after  Baylor  Temple, 
of  Walkerton,  employed  him,  and  gave  him  an  interest  in  the  busi- 
ness two  years  later.  Remaining  here  three  years  longer  he  retired 
with  one  thousand  dollars  cash,  and  having  early  developed  a  taste 
for  learning,  which  was  encouraged  by  his  friends,  among  whom 
was  Sherwin  McCrea,  the  eminent  lawyer,  he  went  to  Richmond 
and  in  due  time  graduated  at  the  Richmond  Medical  College.  He 
then  took  a  diploma  in  the  Botanico-Medical  College,  of  Columbus, 
Ohio,  returned  to  Virginia  and  began  the  practice  of  medicine, 
which  he  has  followed  with  eminent  success  for  over  fifty  years  in 
King  William,  New  Kent,  and  King  and  Queen  counties. 

His  early  convictions  and  deep  studies  induced  in  him  a  great 
desire  to  spread  the  Gospel,  and  he  has  devoted  many  years  to  the 
work  of  the  Master.  He  has  been  instrumental  in  building  three 
churches,  the  last  on  his  own  land  at  Lanesville,  and  has  preached 
in  two  of  them  regularly  for  many  years  past.  He  has  been  a 
prolific  writer,  principally  on  religious  subjects,  and  published  several 
books.  For  nearly  seventeen  years  he  served  on  the  bench  in  the 
King  William  County  Court,  and  decided  many  important  cases. 
On  one  occasion  he  issued  a  warrant  against  General  Robert  E.  Lee 
for  Judge  Roger  Gregory,  who  had  just  begun  the  practice  of  law. 
In  the  settlement  of  the  case.  General  Lee  being  in  Doctor  Edwards' 
office,  declined  some  slight  liquid  refreshment,  though  the  season 
was  oppressive,  so  strict  were  his  views  on  temperance.  This  epis- 
ode recalls  the  story  of  the  flask  of  brandy  given  the  General  by  his 
mother  when  he  started  on  the  Mexican  campaign,  and  which  he 
returned  to  her  unopened  after  the  war  was  over.  Doctor 
Edwards  has  also  been  engaged  in  mercantile  pursuits,  and  in  the 
milling  and  lumber  business.  He  lost  heavily  by  the  war,  but 
congratulates  himself  that  he  is  now  ' '  poor  enough  to  enter  the 
Kingdom  of  God,"  which  his  favorite  study  shows  is  a  difficult  task 

45

for  the  rich.  His  long  hfe  has  been  spent  in  "going  about  doing 
good,"  and  in  this  he  has  followed  the  footsteps  of  his  Divine 
Master.  His  moral  life  has  been  singularly  pure  and  free  from  the 
vices  and  foibles  of  mankind. 

EDWARDS'    ESTATE. 

'  There  has  been  a  tradition  in  the  Edwards  family  for  several 
generations  that  there  is  a  vast  estate  situated  in  New  York  City 
which  would  eventually  revert  to  the  heirs  of  Ambrose  Edwards,  of 
King  William  County.  Intense  research  and  correspondence  vwth 
several  hundred  of  his  descendants  fails  to  develop  any  actual  facts 
on  which  such  a  pretense  is  founded.  The  tradition  is  that  Robert 
Edwards,  a  brother  of  Ambrose,  was  engaged  in  various  filibustering 
expeditions,  commanding  privateers  and  gaining  much  filthy  lucre  by 
his  depredations  on  the  high  seas  in  the  service  of  his  Britannic 
Majesty,  George  HI,  of  inglorious  memory.  He  made  his  head- 
quarters in  New  York,  and  is  said  to  have  invested  largely  in  lands 
^on  Manhattan  Island. 

About  the  beginning  of  the  struggle  for  independence  of  the 
Colonies,  the  said  Robert  Edwards,  being  a  pronounced  Royalist, 
decided  it  would  be  safer  and  better  to  be  away  from  America,  and  as 
the  story  goes,  he  leased  his  large  holdings  in  New  York  for  ninety- 
nine  years  and  retired  to  England,  where  he  subsequently  died 
without  marrying  and  intestate. 

Prior  to  his  departure  he  visited  his  brother  Ambrose  in  Virginia, 
and  it  is  thought  that  he  acquainted  him  with  his  affairs.  However 
this  was,  it  became  early  the  talk  in  the  family  that  there  was  such 
an  estate,  and  the  fiame  was  kept  alive  until,  about  iS68,  a  news- 
paper advertisement  calling  on  the  heirs  of  Robert  Edwards  to 
communicate  with  certain  parties  in  New  York  caused  a  great  flut- 
ter, and  a  lawyer  was  engaged  to  look  into  the  matter.  His  report 
was  not  encouraging,  and  while  he  gave  an  opinion  that  there  was 
such  an  estate,  the  necessary  proofs  were  apparently  unavailable, 
and  the  proposition  to  raise  some  thousands  of  dollars  for  investigation 
in  England,  etc.,  was  received  rather  coldly  and  the  subject  dropped. 

Since  that  time  periodical  mention  has  been  made  of  the 
"Estate"  in  newspapers,  and  "Edwards  Heirs"  in  various  parts  of

the  country  have  held  meetings  and  undertaken  to  devise  means  to 
unearth  the  hundreds  of  millions  said  to  be  slumbering  in  the 
metropolis. 

Designing  persons  have  not  failed  to  take  advantage  of  the 
credulity  of  the  supposed  heirs,  and  recent  interest  in  the  subject 
has  been  awakened  only  to  discover  the  machinations  of  "confi- 
dence" operators  who  claim  to  have  the  proofs,  but  who  demand 
large  sums  for  their  information.  # 

"Where  there  is  so  much  smoke,  there  ..inust  be  some  iire, "  and 
it  is  reasonably  certain  that  a  tradition  so  widely  disseminated  and 
so  accurately  balanced  as  this  must  be  based  on  some  fact.  But  to 
build  any  hopes  on  the  outcome  of  such  an  idea  would  be  false  and 
even  cruel.  If,  in  the  course  of  time,  the  evidence  confirming  the 
tradition  should  come  to  light,  it  will  at  least  be  easier,  with  the 
information  in  this  volume,  to  locate  the  heirs;  and  as  so  much  has 
been  discovered  in  the  short  space  of  a  year  regarding  this  remark- 
able family  which  was  before  unknown,  or  rather  hidden  from  sight, 
it  may  be  that  other  discoveries  will  be  made  which  may  draw  back 
the  veil  and  reveal  a  rich  inheritance. 

In  the  mean  time  a  little  seasonable  advice  will  not  be  amiss : 
Let  all  our  old  people  remember  that  they  have  managed  to  sur- 
mount the  difficulties  of  life  without  the  assistance  of  the  ill-gotten 
gains  of  Robert  Edwards,  and  the  3'ounger  ones  who  have  the 
battle  of  life  before  them  may  profit  by  their  example  and  be 
sure  that  no  acquisition  of  wealth  in  this  wa}"  can  be  half  so  sweet 
as  the  reward  they  may  expect  from  their  own  honest,  earnest  efforts 
to  build  up  a  competence,  and  it  will  be  much  better  if  the  whole 
subject  is  ignored  and  forgotten. 

ELLETT. 

The  origin  of  this  family  has  not  been  learned.  The  name  is 
common  in  Virginia,  and  some  authorities  have  surmised  that  Aylett 
and  Ellett  were  at  one  time  identical. 

We  find,  however,  that  early  in  the  eighteenth  century  there 
lived  in  King  William  County  a  certain  Ellett  whose  first  name  has 
been  lost,  but  he  was  known  to  be  the  father  of  two  sons,  from 
whom  the  descent  is  traced  :

FONTAINE. 

John  de  la  Fontaine,  born  in  the  year  1 500,  and  who  was  assas- 
sinated in  1563,  was  the  father  of  James  de  la  Fontaine,  who  was 
born  in  the  year  1550,  and  died  in  1633,  at  the  age  of  eighty-three 
years.  The  latter  was  the  father  of  James  de  la  Fontaine,  who  was 
the  youngest  child  and  only  son,  and  who  was  born  in  the  year  1603. 
With  him  the  dc  la,  indicative  of  the  nobility  of  the  family,  was 
dropped.  He  married  Marie  Chaillon,  of  Pons,  in  Saintonge,  in 
the  year  1641,  and  was  the  father  of  James  Fontaine,  who  was 
born  at  Jenouille,  on  the  7th  of  April,  1658,  and  married  Anne 
Elizabeth  Boursiquot  on  the  8th  of  February,  1686,  in  the  parish 
church    of    Barnstable,    England,    having    escaped    with    her   from 

51 


OLD  FAMILIES. 


France  and  landed  there  on  December  i,  1685.  This  James  Fon- 
taine was  the  father  of  Peter  Fontaine,  who  was  born  in  1696  at 
Taunton,  England,  and  also  of  John  and  Mary  Fontaine. 

Peter  Fontaine  was  first  married  to  Elizabeth  Fourreau,  a  grand- 
daughter of  Captain  Bouley,  on  the  29th  of  March,  17 14.  He  emi- 
grated to  Virginia,  accompanied  by  his  wife,  in  February  or  March, 
171 5.  Upon  the  death  of  his  first  wife  he  was  married  the  second 
time  to  Elizabeth  Wade,  in  Virginia.  From  this  second  marriage 
sprang  Aaron  Fontaine,  who  was  born  November  30,  1753,  and  died 
April,  1823,  who  was  married  three  times,  first,  to  Barbara  Terrell, 
May  17,  1773.  Elizabeth  Fontaine,  their  daughter,  was  born  Septem- 
ber 5,  1780,  and  on  the  19th  of  May,  1799,  was  married  to  Edmund 
Bullock.  She  died  1 6th  of  June,  1807.  There  was  issue  of  this 
marriage,  Judge  William  Fontaine  Bullock,  Edward  Bullock,  and 
Mary  Anne  Bullock.  Mary  Anne  Bullock  married  Thomas  Hart 
Shelby,  a  son  of  Governor  Isaac  Shelby,  of  Kentucky.  Their 
daughter,  Elizabeth  Fontaine  Shelby,  married  William  Bury  Kinkead, 
the  parents  of  Elizabeth  Shelby  Kinkead,  who  kindly  furnished  the 
following  sketch  (see  also  Kinkead  Excursus) : 

"The  de  la  Fontaines  belonged  to  the  ancient  nobility  of  France, 
but  they  developed  none  of  the  degeneracy  which  often  results  from 
long  material  advancement  and  prosperity.  They  were  vigorous 
people,  whose  nobility  of  thought  and  aspiration  had  the  fitting 
accompaniment  of  nobility  of  station,  and  like  the  truly  noble,  they 
comprehended  the  relation  of  material  and  spiritual  things,  and  were 
ever  ready  to  sacrifice  the  lower  for  the  higher.  Thus,  v/e  find 
members  of  this  family  prominent  among  those  true,  earnest, 
enlightened  spirits  who  became  the  leaders  of  Protestantism  in 
France. 

"John  de  la  Fontaine  was  born  about  the  year  1500.  His  father, 
disliking  the  usual  idle  life  of  the  nobility,  obtained  for  his  son  a 
commission  in  the  household  of  Francis  I,  in  what  was  called  ' '  Les 
Ordonnances  du  Roi. "  The  young  officer  conducted  himself  with 
such  honor  and  uprightness  that  he  retained  his  commission  through 
the  reigns  of  Francis  I,  Henry  II,  and  Francis  II. 

"Both  John  and  his  father  had  early  become  converts  to  Protest- 
antism, and  during  the  troublous  times  which  followed  the  spread  of 
the  reformed  religion  they  were  protected  by  the  high  position  the 
former  occupied  at  court.  But  the  second  )'ear  of  the  reign  of 
Charles  IX,  John  voluntarily  resigned  his  commission  and  retired  to 

53 


OLD  FAMILIES. 


his  paternal  estates  in  Maine.  The  Edict  of  Pacification  had  been 
passed,  and  the  Protestants  believed  that  oppression  was  ended. 
But  their  faith  was  deceived.  Persecution,  before  open  and  with  a 
show  of  justice,  was  now  practiced  with  the  cunning  cruelty  of 
secrecy.  Great  animosity  was  felt  by  the  Catholic  party  to  John  de 
la  Fontaine,  who,  by  his  elevated  position,  gave  strength  to  the 
Protestants'  cause.  Assassins  were  sent  to  his  house,  and  he  was 
murdered  (1563).  His  wife,  trying  to  intercede  for  her  husband, 
was  murdered  also,  as  was  a  faithful  valet.  The  children,  three 
boys,  fled  from  their  home  and  this  awful  tragedy  in  the  midnight 
and  made  their  way  to  Rochelle.  In  one  moment  they  had  been 
bereft  of  every  thing  except  their  pure  faith,  their  intellectual 
strength,  and  their  noble  bearing.  But  the  story  of  their  lives  indi- 
cates the  reward  which  follows  uprightness  and  earnest  ability. 
Even  the  old  material  fortune  was  gained  again  to  the  family. 

"With  James,  grandson  of  John,  the  dc  la,  indicative  of  nobility, 
was  dropped  from  the  name.  This  James,  a  minister  of  the  reformed 
religion,  was  a  man  of  high  spiritual  and  intellectual  attainments. 
But  his  son  James,  also  called  to  the  ministry,  was,  perhaps,  the 
most  brilliant  of  the  family.  He  possessed  high  courage  and  lofty 
characteristics  of  mind  and  soul,  which  enabled  him  to  fulfill  his 
unique  and  thrilling  life.  After  the  revocation  of  the  Edict  of 
Nantes  he  determined  to  leave  friends,  country,  and  fortune  for 
his  faith.  He  succeeded  in  escaping  from  France,  taking  with  him 
his  promised  wife,  Anne  Elizabeth  Boursiquot,  to  whom  he  was 
married  on  the  8th  day  of  February,  1686,  in  the  parish  church  at 
Barnstable,  England.  The  actual  occurrences  of  his  life  were  like  a 
romance. 

"Early  in  the  eighteenth  century  the  thoughts  of  the  Fontaines 
turned  to  America.  James  never  visited  the  New  World,  which 
was  to  become  the  home  of  his  descendants.  His  son  John,  who 
had  been  an  English  officer,  was  the  first  to  make  the  voyage.  He 
purchased  a  plantation  in  Virginia,  and  sent  for  his  brother  Peter, 
who  had  been  ordained  a  clergyman  of  the  Church  of  England. 
They  were  soon  joined  by  other  members  of  the  family,  among 
the  number  Matthew  Maury,  who  had  married  their  sister,  Mary 
Anne.  They  soon  obtained  honored  positions  in  their  new  home, 
and  their  descendants  have  been  people  of  distinction  in  Virginia 
and  Kentucky." 


It  is  mentioned  as  a  curious  mutation  of  circumstances  that  the 
great  persecutor  of  the  Huguenots,  Anne,  due  de  Montmorenci,  Gen- 
eral in  command  of  the  Royal  Soldiery  at  Languedoc,  France,  is

GREGORY.  ^ 

The  name  of  Roger  and  Richard  Gregory  is  a  familiar  one  in  the 
early  history  of  Virginia.  There  was  a  Roger  Gregory  among  the 
Soldiers  of  the  Commonwealth  in  Ireland  in  1650,  but  long  before 
that  a  Richard  Gregory  had  settled  in  the  colony,  and  is  mentioned 
among  the  followers  of  Governor  Yeardley  at  James  City  in  1620. 
He  was  then  about  forty  years  of  age.  He  was  probably  the  same 
as  the  Richard  Gregory  reported  at  Fleur  de  Hundred,  February 
16,  1623.  Richard  Gregory  was  Vestryman  in  Gloucester  County, 
1677,  and  may  have  been  the  same  as  Richard  Gregory  (i).  The 
connection  between  these  and  the  next  Gregory  of  whom  we  find 
record  is  unknown.  John  Gregory,  tailor,  one  of  the  conspirators  in 
the  Rebellion  of  1674,  in  Surrey  County,  was  probably  distinct  from 
John  Gregory,  pastor  of  the  Upper  Parish,  Nansemond  County, 
1680.  Then  there  was  an  Anthony  Gregory,  public  officer  in  Glou- 
cester County,  1698.     Our  line  begins  with  :

Augustine  Washington.  They  were  then  residents  of  Strat-

The  principal  representative  in  the  last  century  seems  to  have  been

KINKEAD. 

This  family  settled  first  in  Cumberland  County,  Pennsylvania.

OLD  FAMILIES. 


Captain  William  Kinkead,  Lieutenant  and  Adjutant  in  Revolu- 
tionary War,  settled  in  Woodford  County,  Kentucky,  in  1789.  He 
was  a  relative  of  John  Kinkead,  of  that  county,  but  in  what  degree 
is  not  known.  They  both  came  to  Kentucky  from  Pennsylvania  via 
Augusta  County,  Virginia.  Captain  William  Kinkead  married  Eleanor 
Guy,  in  Augusta  County,  and  had  issue  :  Margaret,  Andrew,  Isabella, 
Agnes,  William,  Eleanor,  Susannah,  Guy,  Rebecca,  and  John. 

John  Kinkead,  the  son  of  Captain  William  Kinkead,  married 
Margaret  Trotter  Blackburn,  and  had  issue  :  George  Blackburn, 
Frances  Peart,  Prudence,  Eleanor,  and  William  Bury. 

William  Bury  Kinkead  married  Elizabeth  Fontaine  Shelby,  and 
had  issue :  Margaret,  Thomas,  Shelby,  George  Blackburn,  Frances 
Peart,  Mary  Shelby,  Shelby,  Edward,  Eleanor  Talbot,  and  Elizabeth 
Shelby,  author  of  a  history  of  Iventucky  and  other  works,  and  who 
kindly  furnished  the  sketches  of  the  Kinkead  and  Fontaine  families 
in  this  volume. 

' '  The  Kincaid  family,  having  its  seat  and  origin  in  Stirlingshire, 
is  one  of  the  oldest  in  Scotland.  The  following  is  taken  from  Nis- 
bet's  Heraldry :  '  The  Kincaids  were  in  possession  of  Kincaid  in 
1280,  as  is  proved  by  a  charter  extant.  Kincaid,  Laird  of  Kincaid, 
of  Stirlingshire,  for  his  gallant  service  in  rescuing  the  Castle  of 
Edinburgh  from  the  English  in  the  time  of  Edward  I,  was  made  Con- 
stable of  said  Castle,  and  his  posterity  enjoyed  that  office  for  a  long 
period,  carrying  the  Castle  in  their  Armorial  Bearings  in  memory 
thereof  to  this  day.'  The  family  from  which  the  American  branch 
descends  left  Scotland  after  the  troublous  times  of  1688,  and  settled 
first  in  the  north  of  Ireland,  from  whence  several  brothers  came  to 
America  in  1707,  settling  at  or  about  Carlisle,  Pennsylvania,  and 
their  descendants  scattered  through  Virginia,  Kentucky,  Ohio,  and 
Tennessee. 

"  General  William  O.  Butler  said  that  his  ancestors  came  over 
at  the  same  time  as  the  Kincaids,  as  did  the  Campbells  and  Stuarts 
also.  These  families  all  removed  from  Carlisle,  Pennsylvania,  to 
Augusta  County,  Virginia.  I  find  Archibald  Stuart,  father  of  the 
late  Honorable  A.  H.  H.  Stuart,  among  the  witnesses  to  the  deed  of 
sale  when,  on  the  28th  of  August,  1789,  William  Kinkead  and  Elea- 
nor, his  wife,  of  the  county  of  Augusta,  conveyed  to  William 
Alexander,  of  the  city  of  Richmond,  in  consideration  of  one  thou- 
sand pounds,  three  hundred  and  fifty  acres  of  land  on  the  Calf  Pas- 
ture River,  etc.

OLD  FAMILIES. 


' '  William  Kinkead  was  born  in  Pennsylvania  (I  am  not  absolutely 
certain  about  the  State,  it  may  have  been  Virginia ;  but  my  father 
believes  that  William  Kinkead  was  born  before  the  removal  from 
Pennsylvania),  January  9,  1736  ;  died  in  Woodford  County,  May  3, 
1823.  Eleanor  Guy  was  born  August  17,  1740;  was  married  to 
William  Kinkead,  November  30,   1756,  and  died  October  9,  1825. 

"The  following  is  copied  from  my  father's  (William  Bury 
Kinkead)  narrative,  above  referred  to :  '  The  ancestors  of  my 
grandparents  (William  and  Eleanor  Guy  Kinkead)  were  Scotch 
people.  They  left  Scotland  after  the  battle  of  Bothwell  Bridge, 
and  went  to  Ireland,  settling  in  the  northern  part  of  that  coun- 
try ;  my  grandmother's  people,  about  four  miles  out  from  Derry. 
They  were  devoted  Presbyterians,  but  did  not  side  with  either  of  the 
extreme  parties  of  that  day.  King  William  represented  their  ideas, 
and  they  held  him  in  highest  admiration. ' 

' '  I  can  well  remember,  a  little  boy  of  ten  years  of  age,  standing 
by  my  grandmother,  and  being  delighted  to  listen  to  her  give  the 
history  of  that  memorable  siege,  which  she  had  heard  from  the  lips 
of  her  mother,  whose  father  was  in  the  siege.  I  knew  it  all  by 
heart ;  and  when  afterwards  I  read  the  splendid  description  by 
Macaulay,  Browning  and  the  Montjoy  and  the  Dartmouth  were  my 
familiar  friends. 

"  I  have  heard  that  my  ancestor  went  to  the  city  to  unite  in  its 
defense,  his  wife  remaining  in  the  country.  It  is  not  needed  I  should 
detain  you  with  an  account  of  that  noble  people,  and  with  what  they 
endured.  All  know  their  courage,  their  unwavering  determination, 
and  their  readiness  to  starve,  but  never  to  think  of  surrendering, 
which  showed  their  high  religious  principles.  These  qualities  still 
characterize  their  descendants  in  America.  (We  have  in  the  family 
a  gill  measure  which  was  picked  up  on  the  field  of  Derry  by  my 
ancestor,  and  preserved  by  him  and  his  descendants  to  this  present 
day.) 

' '  Not  a  great  while  after  this  the  ancestors  of  my  grandfather 
and  grandmother  emigrated  to  the  United  States.  They  first  came 
to  Pennsylvania,  and  soon  after  moved  to  Virginia,  to  the  county  of 
Augusta.  My  grandfather,  William  Kinkead,  was  born  in  1736.  My 
grandmother,  Eleanor  Guy,  was  four  years  younger  than  he  was.  * 
Here  they  became  active  members  of  the  Timber  Ridge  Church. 
They  settled,  as  I  have  always  heard,  on  a  beautiful  place,  which, 
when  they  determined  to  come  to  Kentucky,  they  sold  to  Mr.  Will- 
iam Alexander,  the  father  of  Sir  William  Alexander,  who  was  later 
on  (from  1824-31)  Lord  Chief  Baron  of  the  Exchequer  Court  in 
England.     Here  they  were  living  when  my  grandmother  was  cap-

tured  by  the  Indians,  April  14,  1764.  Their  home  was  quite  a  large 
one,  and,  being  thought  securer  from  the  Indians  at  that  time,  many 
persons  had  placed  goods  in  their  charge.  My  grandfather  was  away 
from  home  when,  most  unexpectedly,  a  half  dozen  Indians  broke  in 
upon  his  family.  As  hastily  as  possible  they  snatched  up  every  thing 
they  could  find,  and  hurried  off  with  my  grandmother  and  her  three 
children,  a  girl  of  seven,  a  boy  of  four,  and  a  girl  of  two.  They 
made  my  grandmother  carry  the  little  girl ;  a  young  Indian  took 
charge  of  the  little  boy.  Finding  this  child  troublesome,  they  re- 
mained behind  with  him,  and  my  grandmother  saw  him  no  more. 
They  were  in  great  haste  to  get  away  ;  a  council  was  held  as  to  the 
killing  of  the  little  girl,  but  when  they  asked  my  grandmother  if  she 
thought  her  hair  would  be  black,  and  she  assured  them  it  would  be, 
they  determined  to  save  her.  That  they  might  travel  faster,  they 
took  the  child  from  my  grandmother,  and  gave  her  a  saddle  to  carry 
instead,  which  left  her  arms  free,  and  so  she  could  move  more  quickly. 
They  thus  pushed  on,  crossed  the  Ohio,  and  proceeded  to  their  camp 
on  the  Muskingum.  Here  she  was  adopted  by  the  chief  as  his 
child,  and  thereafter  secured  the  greatest  kindness.  But  her  oldest 
child  died,  and  her  little  daughter  was  kept  from  her.  Three  months 
after  her  capture  a  son  was  born  to  her.  (This  child  was  named  An- 
drew for  the  little  boy  who  had  been  killed  by  the  Indians.  Later 
on  a  daughter  was  named  Margaret  for  the  one  who  had  died  during 
the  Indian  captivity. )  When  this  occurred  she  left  the  camp  attended 
by  an  old  Indian  woman  who  was  very  kind  to  her  ;  and  during  the 
whole  time  of  her  captivity  they  never  failed  to  treat  her  with  the 
greatest  consideration. 

' '  A  great  many  persons  had  been  carried  off  by  the  Indians  from 
Pennsylvania  as  well  as  from  Virginia,  and  an  expedition  was  set  on 
foot  to  follow  the  Indians  to  the  Muskingum.  Colonel  Bouquet 
took  charge  of  it,  and  Colonel  Lewis,  if  I  remember  right,  had 
charge  of  the  Virginia  Volunteers  (this  was  Colonel  Charles  Lewis, 
of  Cedar  Creek,  see  Lewis  Excursus) ;  my  grandfather  was  among 
them.  They  marched  to  the  Indian  town,  and  the  Indians  agreed 
to  surrender  the  prisoners.  My  grandfather  soon  found  his  wife, 
but  their  joy  was  abated  because  their  little  girl  who  had  been 
taken  from  her  mother  had  not  yet  been  brought  in  to  them.  My 
grandmother  had  her  infant  cTiild  in  her  arms,  whom  her  husband 
had  never  seen.  Finally  a  little  savage  girl  was  brought  in.  She 
fixed  her  gaze  intently  upon  this  little  girl,  and  her  mother's  heart 
yearned  to  it ;  gradually  the  features  rose  to  her  memory ;  she  all  at 
once  dropped  the  infant,  seized  the  little  girl,  and  hugging  her  to 
her  bosom  ran  off  with  her  alone.  (In  Bouquet's  Expedition,  page 
79,  there  is  an  account  of  this  event.)     She  then  exhibited  to  her

husband  certain  marks  by  which  they  could  positively  know  their 
child.  That  little  girl,  Isabella  Kinkead,  was  the  great-grandmother 
of  the  fascinating  Eva  Douglas,  now  Mrs.  John  S.  Wise,  of  New 
York. 

"After  their  return  home,  in  1778,  my  grandfather  visited  Ken- 
tucky. He  came  through  Lexington,  and  he  saw  the  beautiful  coun- 
try of  Woodford.  He  then  returned  to  Virginia,  and  when  Corn- 
wallis  and  Tarleton  were  ravaging  Virginia,  and  things  there  seemed 
discouraging,  these  Scotch-Irish  Presbyterians  volunteered  to  go  into 
service  ;  they  elected  my  grandfather  their  captain.  '  In  March, 
1777,  a  company  commanded  by  Captain  William  Kincaid  (the  spell- 
ing does  not  seem  to  have  changed  until  after  the  Revolution)  and 
Lieutenant  James  Steele  marched  from  Staunton  to  the  west  fork 
of  the  Monongahela  to  protect  the  frontier  from  the  Indians. '  '  In 
178 1  a  company  commanded  by  Captain  \^'illiam  Kincaid,  Lieuten- 
ant Jacob  Warwick,  and  Ensign  Jonathan  Humphreys  served  in 
Lower  Virginia,  under  Colonel  Sampson  Matthews '  (Augusta  Count}' 
Records),  and  they  left  their  families  for  a  six  months'  campaign,  and 
remained  down  at  Portsmouth,  m.y  grandfather  taking  with  him  his 
eldest  son. 

' '  After  the  close  of  the  Revolution,  their  children  having  all  been 
born  —  my  father,  the  youngest,  was  five  years  old  at  the  time  — in 
17S9,  they  came  to  Kentucky.  My  grandfather  bought  a  beautiful 
farm  in  Woodford  County,  known  as  "Cane  Spring,"  on  the  banks 
of  the  Elkhorn.  Here  he  lived  most  peaceably  after  his  long 
troubles  and  disasters,  having  settled  most  of  his  children  around 
him,  greatly  respected  by  all  the  people  of  his  count}',  and  here  he 
died  at  the  advanced  age  of  84.  And  there  my  father  died,  and 
then  vay  brother  Frank." 

LEWIS. 

"General  Robert  Lewis  came  over  about  the  year  of  1645,  en- 
tered lands,  and  made  his  home  in  one  of  the  tide-water  counties 
{Gloucester).  His  people  had  been  Sheriffs,  Sheriff  Deputies,  County 
Lieutenants,  Justices,  and  members  of  Parliament  from  Brecknock, 
Pembroke,  Glamorgan,  and  other  counties  of  Wales,  for  centuries 
before  he  founded  in  this  country  a  hardy  and  enduring  race  ;  and 
to  the  present  day,  the  name  of  Lewis  belongs  to  the  most  promi- 
nent of  the  Welsh  landed  gentry.  He  had  two  sons,  John  and  Will- 
iam. John  married  Isabella  Warner, 'jdaughter  of  Captain  Augustine 
Warner,  also  a  Welshman,  who  was  a  member  of  the  House  of 
Burgesses  from^  York  County,  in  1652,  and  again  from  Gloucester  in

also  a  son,  Augustine  Warner,  born  in  Virginia,  1642,  educated  at 
the  Merchants  Tailors'  School  in  London,  and  at  Cambridge,  and 
who  was  Speaker  of  the  House  of  Burgesses  in  1676-77,  of  the 
House  succeeding  the  downfall  of  Bacon's  Rebellion,  and  again  in 
1680;  and  was  a  member  of  the  Royal  Council  in  16S0-81.  The 
latter  was  the  Colonel  Commandant  of  Gloucester  County,  and  is 
known  as  '  Speaker '  Warner,  to  distinguish  him  from  his  father.

Smith,  of  Purtons,  son  of  the  Major  John  Smith,  who  was  Speaker 
of  the  House  of  Burgesses  in  1660,  and  subsequent  years,  and 
became  the  ancestress  of  a  family  of  that  and  other  names,  who 
were  highly  respectable  as  soldiers,  scholars,  and  in  public  affairs ; 
Elizabeth,  the  third  daughter,  married  John  Lewis,  son  of  the  above 
named  John  Lewis  and  Isabella  Warner.  ;  The  second  John  Lewis 
was  prominent  as  a  Burgess,  as  a  Councillor,  and  as  a  citizen.  (His

in  the  Revolutionary  War,  as  superintendent  and  owner  of  the

of  their  penury  and  distress.  Lawrence  Washington  and  Mildred

married  for  l:is  second  wife,  Mary  Ball ;  their  oldest  son  was  George 
Washington  (President  of  the  United  States);  their  only  daughter, 
Betty  Washington,  was  the  second  wife  of  Colonel  Fielding  Lewis, 
by  whom  she  had  a  numerous  progeny,  notable  in  themselves  and 
their  descendants.  Mildred,  the  only  daughter  of  Lawrence  Wash-

son  of  Colonel  Fielding  and  Catherine  (Washington)  Lewis,  was 
married  five  times.  First,  to  Lucy  Thornton,  youngest  daughter  of

OLD  FAMILIES. 


Mansfield,  4th  May,   i8y6. 
Dear  Doctor: 

I  have  been  much  interested  in  the  genealogy  of  the  Lewis  family  (from 
the  Courier- Journal)  which  you  sent,  and  find  it  correct,  I  think,  except  in 
one  instance  in  which  it  makes  Colonel  Fielding  .Lewis,  of  Fredericksburg, 
and  his  brother  the  children  of  the  second  John  Lewis,  of  "Warner  Hall," 
and  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  ' '  Speaker  "  Augustine  Warner.  They  were  the 
sons  of  the  third  John  Lewis,  of  "Warner  Hall,"  and  Frances  Fielding,  a 
kinswoman  of  Henry  Fielding,  of  England,  hence  the  name  of  Fielding  in 
the  Lewis  family.  Their  children  were  :  (i)  Warner,  who  inherited  "Warner 
Hall,"  the  father  of  Colonel  Fielding  Lewis,  of  "  Weyanoke, "  whose  portrait 
(by  request)  hangs  in  the  Agricultural  Hall  in  Richmond.  He  was  the  first 
man  who  used  lime  and  peas  in  improving  lands  in  Virginia.  (2)  Fielding 
Lewis,  of  Fredericksburg,  whose  second  wife  was  Betty,  the  sister  of  Wash- 
ington, and  (3)  Colonel  Charles  Lewis,  of  "Cedar  Creek,"  near  Port  Royal, 
in  Caroline  County,  Virginia  (my  great-grandfather),  from  whom  are  descended 
the  Lewis'  of  Essex  and  Caroline.  This  Charles  Lewis  is  mentioned  in  the 
genealogy  you  sent  as  a  distinguished  officer  in  the  French  and  Indian  wars. 
I  have  a  journal  which  he  kept  of  those  times.  He  married  Lucy,  daughter 
of  Colonel  John  Taliaferro,  of  "Snow  Creek,"  near  Fredericksburg.  Their 
children  were  :  (i)  Doctor  John  Taliaferro  Lewis,  a  distinguished  graduate  of 
Edinburgh  Universitj',  and  settled  at  "Mulberry  Green,"  near  Brandy-Sta- 
tion, Culpeper  County,  Virginia.  (2)  Charles  Augustine  Lewis,  Millwood, 
Caroline  County,  Virginia.  He  was  a  brave  man,  and  raised  and  commanded 
a  cavalry  company  in  the  War  of  18 12.  He  married  a  Miss  Battaile,  of 
Caroline,  and  left  issue.  (3)  Mary  Warner  Lewis,  a  lady  of  "rare  beauty 
and  many  attractions."  She  married,  first,  Philip  Lightfoot,  of  "Sandy 
Point,"  on  James  River.  They  resided  at  "Cedar  Creek,"  and  had  an  only 
son,  the  late  Philip  Lightfoot,  of  Port  Royal.  She,  secondly,  married  Doctor 
John  Bankhead,  of  Caroline,  a  nephew  of  President  James  Monroe  and  a 
graduate  of  Edinburgh  University,  and  from  these  marriages  have  descended 
the  Lightfoots  and  Bankheads  of   Caroline  and  Orange. 

Doctor  John  Taliaferro  Lewis,  son  of  Colonel  Charles  Lewis  and  Lucy 
Lewis,  nee  Taliaferro,  married,  3d  December,  1782,  Susanna,  daughter  of 
Colonel  Francis  Waring,  of  Goldsberry,  St.  Ann's  Parish,  Essex  County, 
Virginia,  and  Lucy  Waring,  nee  Cocke,  daughter  of  Secretary  William  Cocke, 
of  the  King's  Council,  and  his  wife,  Elizabeth  Catesby,  niece  of  Mark 
Catesby,  the  naturalist,  who  left  the  best  work  on  ornithology  in  the 
English  language.

LITTLEPAGE. 

The  first  of  the  family  in  the  Colony  of  which  we  have  informa- 
tion was  Richard  Littlepage,  of  New  Kent,  who  received  land  there 
in  1660.  He  was  Sheriff,  Vestryman,  etc.,  and  died  April  20,  168S. 
He  left  a  son  Richard,  and  probably  other  children,  as  the  name 
spread  rapidly  to  Henrico,  King  William,  Hanover,  and  as  far  off 
as  Augusta  County. 

The  second  Richard  married  Frances  ,  and  died  March 

20,  1 7 17.  He  had  numerous  children,  among  them  Elizabeth,  born 
1703;  Travis,  1705;  Alice,  1707;  Richard,  1709;  James,  1714; 
John,  1714;  Judith,  1715  ;  Susanna,  1717  ;  William,  who  married 
Sarah,  daughter  of  Nicholas  Meriwether  and  granddaughter  of  the 
first  Nicholas  Meriwether,  of  New  Kent  County  ;  also  another  son, 
Edmund,  who  waS  Justice  in  King  William  County,  1732.  His  son, 
Colonel  James  Littlepage,  married  Eliza  Lewis,  daughter  of  Zachary 


OLD  FAMILIES. 


and  Mary  (Waller)  Lewis,  and  left  many  descendants,  among  them 
General  Lewis  Littlepage,  one  of  the  most  interesting  and  romantic 
characters  in  modern  history.  He  spent  many  years  in  Europe 
attached  to  various  Courts,  and  was  one  of  the  reputed  favorites  of 
Catherine  of  Russia,  and  the  friend  of  Stanislaus,  King  of  Poland.  Of 
the  same  family  came  Thomas  Littlepage,  Justice  in  King  William 
County,  1793  ;  James  Littlepage,  in  Colonel  George  Washington's 
Company,  1757,  and  Justice  in  King  William  County,  1782,  brother 
of  General  Lewis  Littlepage  ;  Hardin  Littlepage,  Justice  of  King 
William  County,  1799,  and  his  son.  Colonel  Hardin  Littlepage,  who 
married  Susan  Pemberton  Robins  (see  Edwards'  Genealogy) ;  Colonel 
Edmund  Littlepage,  of  King  William  County,  who  lived  at  "Aspen 
Grove  ;"  Captain  Hardin  B.  Littlepage,  Confederate  States  Navy, 
Lieutenant  in  command  of  the  celebrated  "  Merrimac,"  son  of  Lewis 
Littlepage,  who  married  Caroline  Baker  EUett,  the  daughter  of 
William  Ellett  and  Nancy  Baker,  and  whose  other  sons,  W.  T. 
and  Lewis  L.  Littlepage,  are  well-known  citizens  of  New  Kent  and 
King  William  counties,  and  Major  John  C.  Littlepage,  in  the  United 
States  Treasury  Department  at  Washington. 

Extensive  correspondence  with  living  members  of  this  interesting 
family  fails  to  elicit  any  connected  data,  and  the  history  is  reluc- 
tantly left  thus  incomplete.

LYNE. 

There  appears  to  have  been  an  ancient  family  of  this  name  living 
in  Gloucestershire,  England,  in  the  seventeenth  century.  Henry

MONCURE. 

This  distinguished  family  has  filled  a  conspicuous  place  in  the

1.  John  Moncure.'     Minister  of  the  Protestant  Episcopal  Church.      Born  at

MORANCY. 

The  Morancys  claim  descent  from  the  noted  French  family  of 
Montmorency.  Compelled  to  flee  the  country  to  escape  the  horrors 
of  the  French  Revolution,  they  found  refuge  in  the  Island  of  St. 
Domingo,  and  dropped  the  prefix  "Mont,"  owing  to  the  e.xtreme 
hostility  to  all  titles  of  nobility. 

With  the  remnant  of  their  scattered  fortunes,  Jean  Francois 
Morancy  and  a  brother  acquired  property  in  the  island  and  became 
extensive  planters  and  slave  owners. 

85 


OLD  FAMILIES. 


Jean  Francois  Morancy  was  married  in  St.  Domingo  to  Made- 
moiselle Honorine  Molinery,  a  granddaughter  of  Madam  Bouligny, 
the  ceremony  being  performed  by  Father  Pierre.  From  this 
marriage  there  were  si.x  children,  Joseph,  Victoire,  Melanie,  Honore, 
Pierre,  Thadeus,  and  Emile.  Their  tranquillity  was  of  short  dura- 
tion, however,  as  the  insurrection  of  the  slaves  in  St.  Domingo  was, 
if  possible,  worse  than  the  Revolution  in  France  from  which  they 
had  escaped. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  Revolution  in  St.  Domingo  the  Morancys 
took  refuge  in  the  town  of  Aux  Cayes,  where  the  mother  died  of 
yellow  fever.  Soon  after  Jean  Francois  Morancy,  his  brother,  and 
his  wife's  brother,  with  other  members  of  the  family,  were  killed  by 
the  negroes  when  the  town  was  captured  and  sacked. 

Three  of  the  children,  Victoire,  aged  thirteen,  Honore  Pierre, 
about  ten,  and  Emile,  five  years  of  age,  were  saved  by  a  servant 
belonging  to  the  family,  and  finally  reached  the  United  States,  land- 
ing at  Charleston,  South  Carolina,  from  whence  they  were  sent  to 
Baltimore.  Influential  friends  received  them  there,  and  the  history 
of  their  escape  and  description  of  their  confiscated  property  in  the 
Island  of  St.  Domingo,  comprising  several  valuable  plantations,  was 
authenticated  and  forwarded  to  the  French  Government,  which 
recognized  their  claim  and  allowed  them  an  indemnity  for  many 
years. 

Honore  Pierre,  the  oldest  son,  was  taken  in  charge  by  the  Abbe 
Mercier,  and  educated  at  St.  Mary's  College,  Emmettsburg,  Mary- 
land. Madam  LePeltier,  a  refugee  from  France,  assumed  the 
care  of  Victoire  and  Emile,  and  about  a  year  afterwards  some  rela- 
tions or  friends  took  Victoire  to  the  Island  of  Margalanti,  in  the 
West  Indies,  where  she  grew  up,  married,  went  to  France,  and  died 
there.  Madam  LePeltier  was  recalled  to  France,  and  Emile  entered 
the  family  of  Mrs.  Harper,  a  daughter  of  Charles  Carroll,  of  Carroll- 
ton,  and  was  educated  with  her  son,  Charles  Harper,  at  Emmetts- 
burg, under  the  patronage  of  Charles  Carroll,  who  furnished  the 
means  for  his  graduation  in  the  profession  of  medicine. 

Honore  Pierre's  name  was  changed  to  Honore  Perigny,  in  grati- 
tude to  Madam  LePeltier,  whose  family  name  was  Perigny.  After 
the  death  of  the  Abbe  Mercier,  Honore  Perigny  finished  his  educa-

tion,  and  was  Professor  of  French,  Greek,  and  Latin  in  the  college 
at  Natchez,  Mississippi,  until  1818,  when  on  the  16th  of  July  of  that 
year  he  was  married.  He  afterwards  moved  to  Louisiana,  where  he 
entered  large  tracts  of  land,  and  at  the  breaking  out  of  the  Civil  War 
was  one  of  the  wealthiest  and  most  prominent  planters  in  that  State. 
He  held  many  public  offices,  and  died  at  the  advanced  age  of  eighty- 
six  in  188 1.  When  in  the  Legislature  he  named  the  Parish  of 
Carroll  in  honor  of  his  benefactor,  Charles  Carroll. 

His  son,  Louis  Morancy,  married  Agnes  Morancy,  a  daughter  of 
Joseph  Anderson  and  Tunstella  Kinkead,  who  was  a  daughter  of 
Anne  Quarles  and  Archibald  Kinkead. 

Emile  Morancy,  above  referred  to,  married  Agnes  Kinkead,  a 
sister  of  Tunstella,  and  besides  these  two  intermarriages  of  the 
Quarles'  and  Morancys,  two  of  Honore  Perigny  Morancy's  grandsons, 
Thomas  and  Honore  Jackson,  married  two  of  the  descendants  of  the 
Quarles',  whose  ancestor  was  Tunstal  Quarles,  who  married  Susannah, 
a  daughter  of  Ambrose  Edwards. 


NEALE. 

The  first  record  of  this  family  in  the  Colony  is  dated  January  14, 
1630,  when  John  Neale,  Gent.,  of  Accomac  County,  received 
assignment  of  a  lease  for  fifty  acres  of  land  from  Lyonel  Roulston, 
"to  his  loveing  friend,  John  Neale."  John  Neale  carried  on  a 
large  business  as  a  merchant  on  the  Eastern  Shore,  and  in  a  deposi- 
tion made  by  him  in  1636  he  stated  that  he  was  then  forty  years  old. 
This  would  fix  his  birth  about  1596.  His  wife  was  EHzabeth,  sup- 
posed to  be  the  daughter  of  Henry  Southey,  of  Rempton,  Somerset- 
shire, England,  and  a  sister  of  Anne,  the  wife  of  Nathaniel  Littleton. 
John  Neale  was  Vestryman,  1636,  and  Commissioner  (Justice)  and 
Burgess,  1639,  and  a  candidate  for  Sheriff  in  1638.  He  was  also 
appointed  Commander  of  forces  for  protection  against  the  Indians. 
He  died  about  December,  1644,  and  his  widow  subsequently  married 
David  Dale  and  removed  to  York  County.  John  Neale  left  no  will 
of  record  in  Accomac.  He  sold  his  plantation  prior  to  his  death 
and  transferred  his  personalty  to  Anne  Littleton,  wife  and  attorney 
of   Colonel   Nathaniel    Littleton,    on   the    17th   of   November,    1644.

OLD  FAMILIES. 


On  the  following  day  the  same  property  was  conveyed  to  Margaret 
Neale,  his  daughter. 

Margaret  Neale,  who  was  but  a  child  at  her  father's  death,  seems 
to  have  been  the  only  offspring  of  John  Neale  and  Elizabeth 
Southey  ;  but  there  is  reason  to  believe  that  John  Neale  had  been 
previously  married,  as  there  is  mention  in  the  records  of  a  younger 
John  and  a  Pearce  Neale,  also  Henry  Neale,  who  died  about  1670,  and 
Captain  James  Neale,  the  latter  being  a  resident  of  Maryland.  The 
younger  John  Neale  was  evidently  a  graceless  young  scamp,  as 
he  was  sent  to  Jamestown  charged  with  various  offenses.  It  does 
not  appear  in  the  records  that  he  was  re'^^^d  to  the  other  John 
Neale,  and  it  may  be  he  was  the  John  Neale  who  arrived  in  the 
Colony  in  1635,  according  to  "  Hotten's  List  of  Emigrants." 

On  the  1 8th  of  July,  1654,  Lieutenant  William  Waters,  Gent., 
was  appointed  guardian  of  Margaret  Neale,  her  mother  being  lately"" 
deceased.  It  appears  from  old  letters  that  John  Pennell,  of  London, 
advanced  William  Waters  seven  pounds  sterling  to  purchase  clothes, 
and  sent  him  to  Virginia  at  the  request  of  his  mother,  and  that 
William  Waters  was  a  cousin  of  Captain  James  Neale,  of  Maryland. 
The  latter  wrote  to  his  Cousin  Robins  from  Maryland,  May  2,  1643, 
referring  to  the  payment  of  the  debt  to  John  Pennell,  and  his 
letters  indicate  his  intelligence  and  integrity. 

«-  Captain  James  Neale,  Admiral  Royal  Navy,  before  coming  to  Mary- 
land in  1638, ,"  had  lived  divers  years  in  Spain  and  Portugal,  and  like- 
wise was  there  employed  by  His  Majesty  of  Great  Britain  (Charles  I), 
and  His  Royal  Highness  the  Duke  of  Yorke  in  several  Emergent 
affairs,  as  by  Commissions  herewith  presented  may  Appear."  His 
wife  was  Anne,  and  their  daughter,  Henrietta  Maria,  who  was  born 
while  her  father  was  in  foreign  service,  was  named  for  the  Queen  of 
Charles  I,  to  whom  her  mother  had  been  maid  of  honor.  On  the 
execution  of  Charles  I,  he  directed  that  rings  should  be  presented  to 
his  most  faithful  friends,  and  that  received  by  Anne  Neale  is  still 
preserved  by  one  of  her  Maryland  descendants. 

Henrietta  Maria  Neale  married,  first,  Richard  Bennett,  and, 
second.  Governor  Philemon  Lloyd,  Master  of  "Wye  House." 
She  left  numerous  descendants,  among  them  some  of  the  most  noted 
people  in  Maryland  and  Virginia.

Richard  Bennett  was  the  son  of  Richard  Bennett,  the  nephew  of  a 
weahhy  London  merchant,  who  resided  for  a  time  at  Delft,  Holland, 
as  Deputy  Governor  of  the  English  merchants,  and  was  largely 
engaged  in  the  Virginia  trade.  He  came  over  in  1622,  and  held 
many  high  positions,  and  was  Governor  of  the  Colony.  His  wife 
was  Mary  Anne  Utie/  His  son  Richard,  who  married  Henrietta 
Maria  Neale,  was  drowned,  but  left  a  son  Richard,  who  was  referred 
to  as  "the  richest  man  in  the  Colonies."  His  tomb,  with  the 
Bennett  Arms  (the  Bennetts  were  of  the  same  family  as  Lord  Arling- 
ton), is  at  Bennett's  Point,  Maryland.  He  erected  a  tomb  to  his 
mother's  memory,  inscribed  as  follows  : 

HENRIETTA   MARIA   LLOYD.

NEWMAN. 

This  family  is  of  Scotch-Irish  extraction,  and  settled  in  Virginia 
in  the  early  part  of  the  eighteenth  century,  afterwards  moving  to 
North  Carolina.  There  was  a  Newman,  whose  first  name  is  lost, 
who  Hved  in  Lincoln  County,  North  Carolina,  about   1775,  whose 

wife  was  Rebecca  ,    and  who  had   a   son  Jonathan  and   a 

daughter  Rachel.  After  the  death  of  her  husband  Rebecca  New- 
man moved  to  York  District,  South  Carolina,  with  her  children. 
On  the  29th  of  October,  1795,  articles  of  agreement  were  entered 
into  between  Mathew  Black,  of  York  District,  South  Carolina,  and 

Jonathan  Newman,   of  Lincoln  County,   North  Carolina,  by  which

Jonathan  Newman  subsequently  came  into  possession  of  a  farm  in 
the  latter  place,  which  he  transferred  to  William  McElwee,  from 
whom  it  descended  to  McElwee's  son-in-law,  Alexander  G^-lIoway, 
whose  daughter  Martha  Plaxco  now  owns  and  lives  thereon. 

There  lived  in  the  County  Tyrone,  Ireland,  a  William  McElwee 
who  had  two  sons,  David  and  William.  The  latter  (William)  emi- 
grated to  America  about  1750,  when  about  thirty-two  years  of 
age,  and  settled  first  in  Pennsylvania,  where  he  married  Janet 
Black.  He  moved  thence  to  Virginia  and  afterwards  to  York  District, 
South  Carolina,  locating  on  Clarke's  Fork,  near  the  battle-ground 
of  King's  Mountain.  His  son  William  was  a  distinguished  soldier 
in  the  Revolutionary  War  under  General  Marion,  participated 
in  many  engagements,  and  was  a  noted  man  in  other  respects. 
His  tombstone  records  his  services  as  well  as  his  fine  traits  of 
character,  and  an  account  of  some  of  his  exploits  has  been 
published.  He  was  born  February,  1761,  died  November,  1854; 
married  Rachel  Newman,  above  referred  to,  and  left  numerous 
descendants  ;  and  his  sister  Elizabeth  married  Jonathan  Newman, 
the  brother  of  his  wife  Rachel  Newman. 

Jonathan  Newman  moved  to  Monroe  County  about  1807,  where  he 
died  in  1844.  Of  his  children,  Jonathan,  junior,  went  to  Texas,  and 
in  1 849  ' '  was  living  on  his  fine  ranch,  three  miles  square,  on  the  Brazos 
River."     There  were  also  three  daughters  and  another  son,  Josiah. 

Josiah  Newman  was  born  November  17,  1806,  in  York  District. 
South  Carolina,  and  died  November  6,  1893,  in  Simpson  County, 
Kentucky.  He  married  Edith  Manion,  who  was  born  January  26, 
181 1,  and  died  April  23,  1877.  She  was  the  daughter  of  Ambrose 
Manion,  born  in  Chester  District,  South  Carolina,  1785,  and  died 
1837,  whose  wife  was  Pheriba  Austin,  the  daughter  of  Charles 
Austin,  who  was  born  in  Virginia  and  left  an  orphan  ;  ran  away  at 
the  age  of  fifteen  to  Wake  County,  North  Carolina,  where  he  grew 
up,    married   a   Miss    Bunch,    and   raised    a   large   family.      Edith 

Manion's  paternal  grandparents  were  Ambrose  Manion  and 

Halsell,  of  South  Carolina.  Josiah  Newman  had  issue,  eleven 
children,  of  whom  :

OLD  FAMILIES, 


\ 


PEMBERTON.  ■<. 

Bishop  Meade  attributed  the  American  origin  of  the  family  to  the 
Huguenot  immigration  of  1700.  The  name  was  spelled  Pembreton 
in  the  early  days,  which  suggests  a  Breton  ancestry. 

Richard  Pemberton  and  Elizabeth,  his  wife,  were  residents  of 
King  William  Parish  in  Virginia,  and  the  register  there  shows  the 
births  of  their  children  as  follows:  Michael,  born  January  14,  1745  ; 
William,  born  January  30,  174S  ;  and  Martha,  born  October  17, 
1752. 

Wilson  Coleman  Pemberton,  who  married  Wealthean  Edwards, 
was  born  about  1750.  Thomas  Pemberton  was  a  Captain  in  the 
Virginia  State  Line,  Revolutionary  War,  and  the  Confederate  Gen- 
eral John  C.  Pemberton  was  of  this  famil}'. 

The  King  William  Pembertons  were  noted  for  their  education 
and  wealth.  They  owned  fine  properties  and  were  substantial  and 
highly  regarded  citizens.  The  family  is  now  widely  scattered 
through  the  South  and  West. 

PEYTON. 

Robert  Peyton,  of  Virginia,  was  the  son  of  Thomas  Peyton  and 
Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Sir  William  Yelverton,  of  Rougham  in 
Norfolk.  Thomas  Peyton  died  in  1683,  leaving  four  sons,  William, 
of  Dublin  ;  Charles,  of  Grimston  ;  Thomas  and  Robert,  who  settled 
in  Virginia.  Thomas  Peyton,  the  older,  was  descended  from  a  long 
line  of  Peytons  dating  back  to  the  time  of  William  the  Conqueror. 
The  pedigree  may  be  found  in  Burke's  Extinct  and  Dormant  Baron- 
etcies, pages  408,  409,  and  410. 

When  Sir  John  Peyton  died  in  1772  without  issue,  the  male 
descendants  of  Robert  Peyton,  of  Virginia,  were  entitled  to  the 
Baronetage,  but  it  appears  that  they  failed  to  qualify,  and  he  was 
succeeded  by  Sir  Yelverton  Peyton,  of  the  English  line,  a  half- 
brother  of  Sir  John,  who  died  on  the  i8th  of  October,  181S,  when 
the  Baronetage  is  presumed  to  have  expired.

OLD  FAMILIES. 


POLLARD. 

This  family  appears  to  have  settled  first  in  King  and  Queen 
County,  Virginia,  in  the  early  part  of  the  eighteenth  century,  and 
its  history  includes  many  distinguished  names,  among  them  the  old 
clerks  of  King  and  Queen,  King  William,  and  Hanover  counties. 
Intermarried  with  the  Dandridges,  Spotswoods,  Edwards',  etc.,  and 
their  descendants  have  spread  over  the  land.  Robert  Pollard  was 
Clerk  of  King  William  County  for  about  forty  years,  and  it  was 
probably  his  son,  George  Butler  Pollard,  who  married  Mary  Elizabeth 
Edwards.  The  old  seat  of  the  family  in  King  William  County  was 
at  "Mount  Zoar." 

QUARLES. 

This  is  an  old  family  in  Virginia,  but  its  origin  appears  to  be 
somewhat  obscure.  There  are  frequent  references  to  the  name  in 
the  records  of  the  last  century,  but  so  far  the  name  of  the  emigrant 
has  not  developed.  Several  of  the  name  were  in  the  Revolutionary 
War.  James  Quarles  was  Paymaster-General,  and  was  most  proba- 
bly the  father  of  Tunstal  Quarles,  senior,  sometimes  known  as  Colonel 
John  Tunstal  Quarles,  who  married  Susannah  Edwards,  and  who 
was  born  in  King  William  County  prior  to  1760.  How  he  received 
his  title  is  not  known.  There  was  a  John  Quarles  an  officer  in  the 
Revolutionary  War,  and  several  others  of  the  name  fought  for 
independence.  Tunstal  Quarles  owned  large  tracts  of  land  in 
various  parts  of  Kentucky,  but  the  records  show  they  were  all  by 
purchase  or  assignment,  and  not  for  military  service.  General 
James  Quarles  and  Captain  Henry  Quarles  also  received  grants  for 
military  service,  and  Tunstal  Quarles  came  into  possession  of  some 
of  their  land.  He  also  acquired  the  land  granted  to  Captain 
Bernard  Lipscomb,  by  purchase. 

The  family  which  settled  in  the  Colony  has  spread  all  over  the 
Southwest,  and  has  produced  many  eminent  representatives. 

It  is  noted  as  a  peculiar  coincidence  that  the  two  great  tariff 
reformers  —  Roger  Quarles  Mills,  of  Te.xas,  and  William  Lyne 
Wilson,  of  West  Virginia,  the  fathers  of  the  "Mills"  and  "Wilson" 
tariff  bills  —  are  both  connected  with  the  families  in  this  record.

OLD  FAMILIES. 


Among  the  public  men  in  the  Quarles  family  may  be  mentioned 
one  who  participated  largely  in  the  development  of  the  Common- 
wealth of  Kentucky,  and  whose  record  is  preserved  here. 

Judge  Tunstal  Quarles  was  the  son  of  Tunstal  Quarles  and 
Susannah  Edwards.  He  was  born  in  Virginia  about  1770,  and 
moved  with  his  parents  to  Kentucky,  where  they  settled  in  Wood- 
ford County  about  1790.  In  1796  he  was  a  member  of  the  Ken- 
tucky House  of  Representatives  from  Woodford  County.  He 
afterwards  removed  to  Pulaski,  from  which  county  he  was  sent  to 
the  legislature  in  181 1  and  1812.  He  represented  his  district  in  the 
National  House  of  Representatives,  1817-20,  was  elected  Speaker 
of  the  Kentucky  House  of  Representatives  in  1828.  He  was  an 
Elector  in  1829,  and  voted  for  Andrew  Jackson  for  President,  and 
was  State  Senator  in  1S40.  While  in  Congress  he  pronounced  an 
eulogy  on  the  death  of  his  friend,  David  Walker,  which  attracted 
attention,  and  was  followed  by  Henry  Clay  and  others,  who  were  in 
Congress  at  that  time.  He  armed  and  equipped  at  his  own  expense 
and  commanded  a  company  in  the  War  of  18 12.  While  directing 
the  building  of  fortifications  he  was  injured  by  a  falling  tree,  for 
which  injury  he  was  long  afterwards  allowed  a  pension.  He  was 
Circuit  Judge  by  appointment  of  the  Governor,  and  was  a  lawyer 
of  ability.  He  died  November  26,  1856,  at  Somerset,  Kentucky, 
where  he  was  buried.  His  public  service  extended  over  a  period  of 
fifty  years  or  more. 

As  an  evidence  of  his  honor  and  integrity,  a  deed  on  record  in 
Franklin  County,  Kentucky,  December  12,  1820,  recites  that  in  his 
judgment  the  property  devised  to  his  brother  Ambrose  by  his  father's 
will  was  not  in  fair  proportion,  and  in  "justice  to  himself  and  his 
own  feelings"  he  conveyed  to  his  brother  Ambrose  all  his  land  in 
Woodford  (then  Franklin)  County  ' '  in  order  to  better  his  brother's 
situation."

TALIAFERRO. 

"It  has  been  ascertained  by  research  that  the  name  Taliaferro 
originated  in  a  circumstance.  It  is  said  that  the  founder  of  the 
family  came  over  from  Normandy  with  William  the  Conqueror,  and 
aided  him  in  his  conquest.  After  the  Battle  of  Hastings,  where 
William  gained  a  great  victory,  in  his  enthusiasm  and  admiration  of 
this  man's  conduct  he  said  to  him  'Taliaferro.'  The  Latin  is  a 
very  abbreviated  language,  a  great  many  words  are  understood  or 
supplied,  and  his  meaning  was,  you  have  achieved,  'Talia'  such 
things  or  so  much,  '  Ferro '  by  the  iron  or  the  weapons  of  iron. 
When  the  people  were  ordered  by  their  sovereign  to  assume  sur- 
names, and  were  casting  about  for  suitable  names,  many  taking 
names  from  their  occupation,  as  Miller,  Carter,  etc.,  this  motto 
was  brought  out  as  a  name.  It  does  not  seem  to  have  come  into 
use  fully  until  planted  on  American  soil,  where  it  has  increased  and 
spread  like  a  'green  bay  tree.'  "

Explanation. — The  Roman  numerals  after  each  name  indicate  the 
generation  only.  The  numbers  in  the  margin  are  for  the  purpose 
of  tracing  the  ancestry  and  descent.  For  example,  172  Steptoe

ADDENDA. 


Peyton. — The  manuscript  of  nearly  every  family  history  referred 
to  herein  was  submitted  to  some  living  member  of  each  particular 
branch,  and  every  effort  made  to  secure  accuracy.  Since  the  book 
was  printed  a  letter  received  from  Reverend  Horace  E.  Hayden,  of 
''■Vilkesbarre,  Pennsylvania,  probably  the  most  accomplished  gene- 
alogist in  America,  indicates  that  the  descendants  of  Robert  Peyton 
in  Virginia  succeeded  to  the  title  of  Sir  John,  who  died  without  issue 
in  1772,  but  the  Revolutionary  War  cancelled  all  such  pretensions. 
From  the  same  authority  it  is  learned  that  Thomas  Peyton,  the 
elder,  left  five  sons,  but  Thomas  was  never  in  Virginia. 

Freeman. — George  Freeman,  born  1649,  patented  lands  in  Hen- 
rico County,  Virginia.  He  left,  among  other  children,  George,  whose 
will,  probated  February  2,  1735,  mentions  wife  Jane,  daughters  Han- 
nah and  Alice,  and  sons  Joseph,  Holman,  and  John.  The  latter, 
John  Freeman,  married  Abigail  Ballinger,  of  Goochland  County, 
and  had  issue  John  Freeman,  who  married  Sarah  Willis.  Sec  Free 
man  Family. 

Hill. — There  was  a  William  Hill  who  settled  in  Middlesex 
County  and  died  there  February  12,  1669.     He  was  the  father  of 

William  and  Thomas.     The  latter  married  Anne ,  who  died 

January  15,  1726,  and  had  issue,  William,  born  July  20,  1684,  and 
married  September  7,  17 10,  Frances,  daughter  of  William  and 
Dorothy  Needles.  They  had  numerous  children,  among  them  Will- 
iam, Richard,  Russell,  and  Needles,  the  father  of  Humphrey.  Sec 
Hill  Family.      From  Christ  Cliurch  Register,  Middlesex  County. 

Neale. — Bernard  Neale,  who  went  to  North  Carolina  in  1792, 
from  King  William,  afterwards  settled  near  Shelbyville,  Kentucky. 
He  married  Elizabeth  Christian,  a  cousin  of  Roger  Sherman,  one  of 
the  signers  of  the  Declaration  of  Independence.  Christian  County, 
Kentucky,  was  named  for  her  brother,  Colonel  William  Christian. 
Their  children  were  Alfred,  Bernard,  Palmer,  Richard.  Edward, 
Thomas,  Mary  Ellen,  Joan,  and  Eliza.  Alfred  married  Lucy  Roberts 
and  had  issue,  Edward,  Elizabeth,  John  H.,  George,  Richard,  and 
Bernard,  who  lives  in  Marshall  County,  Kentucky,  and  has  been  a 
member  of  Kentucky  Legislature.     See  Neale  Family. 

The  Claiborne  genealogy  is  taken  largely  from  O'Hart's  Irish 
Pedigrees.
