Founder Burial Sites in Virginia Founder Burial Sites In Virginia Forward This book is presented by the Virginia Society of the Order of Founders and Patriots of America. This document is a work in progress as names will be removed and added as additional references become available. Some names might not even have references but are being inserted as they are being worked on. This project started in 2007 by Mike Lyman as he discovered Founders' Burial Sites in Virginia. All the men identified meet the Order of The Founders and Patriots of America requirement to be considered a Founder. All were in the Colonies, specifically Virginia before May 13, 1657. Consequently, many of the references are specifically to prove the arrival or presence before May 13, 1657. This work has been edited/data entry by Past Virginia Governor Jerry Hubbard.

He was a merchant at St. Lucia, Spain, in 1646, at the Canary Islands in 1647-48, and came to Virginia in 1654 was a representative of his father, who had large interests in the colony. He settled at Berkeley Hundred, Charles City county, and in 1659-60 he represented Henrico in the house of burgesses, of which he was the speaker. By instructions from England, dated Sept 2, 1662, the act passed by the assembly, imposing two shillings per hogshead on all tobacco from Virginia, was confirmed and "Theodorick Bland, Esq." was appointed collector of the same. A few years later Bland was appointed a member of the Council, and was present June 21, 1665, July 10, 1666, and March and April 1670. On April 17, 1665, Theodorick Bland bought "Westover," Charles City county, an estate of 1,200 acres, for 170 pounds sterling. His grandson, Richard Bland of "Jordan's," who says that his grandfather was "both in fortune and understand, inferior to no person of his time in the country," also says that he built and gave to the county and parish the church at Westover, "with ten acres of land, a courthouse and prison." This may have been so, but it is more likely that he only have the land. The worthy Councillor died on April 23, 1671, and was buried in the chancel of Westover church. The church has long since disappeared but the tomb remains with his arms and the following epitaph: S.M. "Prudentis & Eruditi Theodorici Bland Armig, qui obijt Aprilis 23d A.D. 1671 Aetatis 41 Cujus Vidua Maestissima Anna Filia Richard Bennett Armig: hoe Marmor Posuit." "Theodoric Bland, who settled in Westover, in Charles City in 1654, and died in 1671." "His tomb is now to be seen in old Westover graveyard, lying between those of two of his friends, William Perry and Walter Aston." "He left three sons,--Theodorie, Richard, and John."

PUBLISHED BY TKe Boaroi of Supervisors of ElizabetK City County Hampton, Virginia 1922 1255289 *CAe Confederate X)eterans of the Peninsula, who gave up homes and all for the cause of their State, for four long years on battle- fields of fame served the land they loved to the best of their great ability and then returned to find their homes in ruins and ashes, this little volume is dedicated as a tribute of in- effable remembrance. Composed 1912 for the Retail Merchants Association by Lyon G. Tyler, M. A., LL. D., and now published in pamphlet form by the Board of Supervisors of Elizabeth City County, Virginia, November, 1922. FOREWORD Dear old Hampton, with its colonial, Eevolutionary, 1812, and Civil War memories, has endured and survived much. We of the present Hampton, we who love this old place either because it is our home by inheritance or adop- tion must carry on and remember that we are its guardians and makers and that the Hampton of the future will be the sort of place we are making it today. With a deep and abiding love for the place of his birth and a keen interest in her welfare the first steps were taken by Hunter E. Booker, youngest son of Major and Mrs. George Booker, of Sherwood estate, now Langley Field, Elizabeth City County, who brought to the attention of his fellow towns and countrymen his wish that a history of Hampton be compiled as a matter of civic concern.

  • The Trial of Colonel Molesworth
    [pre-proofing version] ‘God forbid it should come to that’: the feud between Colonel Molesworth and Major-General O’Brien in Portugal, 16631 The court martial of Guy Molesworth began on 19 February 1663 in the Portuguese town of Moura. Three days later, having taken evidence from numerous officers and men of the ‘English’ Brigade (which was in fact Anglo-Irish), the presiding panel found the former royalist colonel guilty of speaking reproachful words against Charles II and disobeying his superiors. Molesworth was sentenced to death.2 The condemned man had made several enemies during his short time in Portugal – not least among them Major-General Christopher O’Brien, commanding the Brigade in the absence of his brother, the Earl of Inchiquin. After a lifetime of soldiering in Europe and the British Isles, followed by equally hazardous escapades in the British Atlantic, Molesworth seemed destined for an ignominious end. However, well before the court martial had been convened the colonel had alerted his personal network of friends and relatives in Whitehall and Lisbon. Influential allies were thus were already fighting to save him – at a mounting cost not only to their own political careers but also to international relations between England and Portugal. With some notable exceptions, particularly as regards relations between England and the Netherlands,3 the study of Charles II’s foreign policy has tended to be overshadowed in recent decades by an impressive procession of books and articles which have significantly revised our understanding

  • Pepy's American Dinner Party, Part
    19 A TROUBLESOME GUARDIANSHIP IN THE 18TH CENTURY THE contents of a small, white linen sack in the Thornton (Brockhall) collection at the Record Office provide a detailed story of the guardianship of three young problem orphans who were born in this county. Bundles of bills and letters, read in conjunction with an account book, make it possible to recreate the trials and woes of the worthy trustees who, given a preview of their forthcoming task, might well have thought twice about assuming _so difficult a responsibility. It all began in February 1736, when Thomas Adams of Whilton, gentleman, died. He left by his wife Mary three children, Ann aged 8, Thomas the heir aged 6, and William aged 5. To everyone concerned in the story they were known as Nanny, Tommy and Billy. No trace of their mother appears in the documents, nor does she occur in the Whilton registers as dying after the birth of Billy or before the death of her husband, and one can only conclude that she died elsewhere in the interim. Certainly the guardians, Thomas Langton of Teeton, Thomas Thornton of Brock­ hall and Edward Clarke of Watford, acted at all times as if they were responsible for orphans. The choice of these three squires proved to be an astute appointment on the part of Thomas Adams, for· they took their duties seriously and conscientiously. As soon as Adams was dead, his executors went to the house in Whilton and made an inventory of plate, which was found to include a silver smelling bottle, one coral and bells and a pair of silver spurs.
