PREFACE This record has been written from time to time during several years, as the writer has been able to gather the in• formation from many sources, and as he may have had the time and inclination to do so. It has been a work of much interest and pleasure, and a fair amount of success has been gratifying. Family exaltation or glorification has not at any time entered into the writer's thoughts or intention, but it has been a gratification to find so long a line in direct male descent of a family always of ladies and gentlemen. The proverbial skeleton in the closet, often feared in such a search, has not appeared, and the record is clean and untarnished. The Baskerville family has always maintained a good and honorable position among the gentry of England. Its historical record is certain, definite, and continuous, and it is found in most standard English genealogical books. And a direct honorable lineage of twenty-two generations through unbroken male descent, from father to son, through more than six hundred and fifty years, is probably rather un­ usual. The search and record has been chiefly retrospective, and no particular attempt has been made to enroll all the living members of the family. But any Baskerville descendant will doubtless find his lineage within one or two generations, and be enabled to trace the connection. Much of the information contained in this sketch is en­ tirely new, as far as the writer knows. The E~glish con­ nection of the family seems never to have been , ccurately traced before. And the old Mecklenburg tradition that the first Baskerville settler in that county was an immigr mt from X PRF.FACE, England, and possibly named John, was erroneous, as will be shown in the sketch. Apparently the Virginia family have never known before of the Cheshire connection. This sketch has been written for the writer's family with no thought of publishing it among other people, or that they would take any interest in it. Therefore it is more or Jess personal, and relates particularly to the writer's personal connection. It is printed chiefly for preservation. On the cover, the title page, and the headings the older spelling of the name with the final e is adopted, although the writer does not himself use it. The writer desires to express his thanks to Mr. Wm. G. Stanard, Secretary of Virginia Historical Society, to whom he is indebted for facts, which started the search, and for other help from time to time; and also to Dr. Lyon G. Tyler, of Wil­ liamsburg, who has kindly given important information sev­ eral times. R1CHl!OND, VA., OCTOBER 1st, 1912. AUTHORITIES AUTHORITIES Ormerod's History of Cheshire.

Reprinted by JARMAN'S, iNCOIEI'dltATKD from the 1SS7 Edition for THE GREEN BOOKMAN Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1887, by WYNDHAM ROBERTSON In the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. PREFACE. I offer to the narrow circle it may interest, as well as I have been able to restore it, the Tree of Pocahontas and Rolf e, as it has grown from them as its root to its seventh season (inclu­ sive) of fruitage. I accompany it with illustrative sketches of some of its notable products, within my reach, in order to relieve the blankness of it, by revealing something of its in­ ward succulence as well as its outward form. I have conden­ sed them as much as in my view consisted with my object, knowing how insignificant the whole matter is amid the great surges of the world it is thrown upon. The notice of Poca­ hontas is exceptionally long for reasons apparent on the face of it, involving, as it does, incidentally, the vindication of Captain Smith against the unfriendly strictures of some mod­ ern critics, and which all lovers of justice will thank me for introducing.

  • Webner 1 the Importance of Cemeteries and Their Connections to a Community a Case Study in Local History for Chesterfield County
    Webner 1 The Importance of Cemeteries and Their Connections to a Community A Case Study in Local History for Chesterfield County, Virginia By Teresa Webner, 2010 In Virginia, recently developed rural areas will probably have within their boundaries several small family cemeteries. This is the case in southeastern Chesterfield County. Cemeteries here are found in the middle of new housing developments built on former estates. Houses built in the nineteenth century were often the victims of fires, leaving cemeteries as the only remaining artifacts of an area’s first settlers. It is here, with these gravestones’ chiseled inscriptions, where we can find not only the names of the buried people, but also names that may correspond with nearby street names, housing developments, or even strip malls. The monikers chosen for streets or other municipal or commercial properties are not chosen at random. The names are chosen to connect the present with the past. Cemeteries are useful in connecting a community to its past. Graveyards are seen as endpoints in life; however, for making connections from present to past, they can serve as starting points. Beginning with tombstone sizes and inscriptions, one can discern who was prominent in a community. By starting with the name on a family cemetery’s grandest stone, one is led on a journey into the past as that inscribed name appears and reappears in connection with other historical events and important people. These farm cemeteries and the historical inquiry they inspire resemble a spirelli, a type Webner 2 of string art, leading us from one historical event to another, showing how connected we all are.
