  • English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records

HJST. survey Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign http://archive.org/details/englishduplicateOOdesc English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records compiled by Louis des Cognets, Jr. © 1958, Louis des Cognets, Jr. P.O. Box 163 Princeton, New Jersey This book is dedicated to my grandmother ANNA RUSSELL des COGNETS in memory of the many years she spent writing two genealogies about her Virginia ancestors \ i FOREWORD This book was compiled from material found in the Public Record Office during the summer of 1957. Original reports sent to the Colonial Office from Virginia were first microfilmed, and then transcribed for publication. Some of the penmanship of the early part of the 18th Century was like copper plate, but some was very hard to decipher, and where the same name was often spelled in two different ways on the same page, the task was all the more difficult. May the various lists of pioneer Virginians contained herein aid both genealogists, students of colonial history, and those who make a study of the evolution of names. In this event a part of my debt to other abstracters and compilers will have been paid. Thanks are due the Staff at the Public Record Office for many heavy volumes carried to my desk, and for friendly assistance. Mrs. William Dabney Duke furnished valuable advice based upon her considerable experience in Virginia research. Mrs .Olive Sheridan being acquainted with old English names was especially suited to the secretarial duties she faithfully performed.

To the Honourable the Memb.ers of the House of Assembly ·in Parliament assembled. The Petition of the undersigned Inhabitants of Tasmania. RESPECTFULLY SHOWETH: THAT your Petitioners have observed with the deepest regret that your Honourable House have passed the Estimates for the year 1857, amounting to the enormous sum of £347,279. That your Petitioners cannot but consider -this amount as greatly disproportioned to the requirements of the Colony, and altogether in excess of the legitimate necessities of a Government for an adult population not exceeding 35,000 souls. That the total population of this Colony does not exceed 70,000 persons ; and the expenditure, as passed by your Honourable House, amounts to a tax of £16 per head .on the entire male adult population. _ . That your Petitioners believe that the Revenue, estimated from all sources of income amounting to £269,098, is ample for the purpose of carrying on the Government of the Colony. That your Petitioners suggest that, instead of raising additional taxes for the purpose of meeting the expenditure, the salaries of the high Officials should be reduced to meet the altered circumstances of the Colony,-the number of Officials reduced,-and various Depart­ ments consolidate<:! under one head ; and that if, after calm and deliberate enquiry by your Honourable House into the necessary reductions, additional taxation should be necessary, your Petitioners will cheerfully pay such taxes as impose on all classes their fair proportion of the public burdens.
