Indicate whether the property has historic integrity.) ______________________________________________________________________________ Summary Paragraph: Located in the Lower Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, the Chapel Rural Historic District contains approximately 11,496 acres of pristine rural land in central Clarke County situated between two National Register-listed Rural Historic Districts: Greenway (021-0963; NRHP 1993) to the south and Long Marsh Run (021-0967; NRHP 1996) to the north. The Boyce Historic District (172- 0001; NRHP 2004) borders the district to the south and the Cool Spring Battlefield (021-0976; NRHP 1997) is located a short distance to the east. Lord Fairfax Highway (U.S. Route 340), which links the towns of Berryville and Boyce, runs north-south through the district. The boundaries of the irregularly-shaped district generally stretch from the village of Millwood on the south, to approximately one-half mile south of Berryville, and continue to Harry Byrd Highway (Route 7 east of Berryville) on the north, and from the Shenandoah River and Chilly Hollow Road on the east to Salem Church Road near the Opequon Creek on the west. The Norfolk Southern Railroad parallels Lord Fairfax Highway. Old Chapel, an 18th-century Section 7 page 4 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 Chapel Rural Historic District Clarke County, Virginia Name of Property County and State Episcopal church, stands at a prominent intersection of several historic county roads at the center of the district. The Chapel Rural Historic District incorporates as much of the intact rural landscape as possible between the previously-listed rural historic districts and contains 319 properties that tell the story of the growth and development of this rich agricultural land. While the Chapel Rural Historic District shares much of the same historic context with the adjacent National Register-listed rural historic districts, it enhances that history to tell a unique story based on the resources within its boundaries. The district contains primarily domestic and agricultural buildings that capture the period from 1756 (the earliest documented resource) to 1963, when construction markedly decreased. These resources reflect both the historic and ongoing use of the land, which developed primarily as large estates and smaller working farms. These farmsteads that date from the mid-18th to the mid-20th centuries represent a variety of building traditions that directly reflect their builders. Different building types are broadly represented in a relatively small rural area. The Chapel Rural Historic District includes large high-style dwellings alongside more modest ones of vernacular forms with many of their associated outbuildings such as smokehouses, springhouses, garages, sheds, and summer kitchens. Since so many landholders held slaves up until the Civil War, slave quarters were also common on these properties. A few former plantations continue to retain these buildings, including Milton Valley (021-0049, 021-5025-0194), Summerville (021-0101, 021-5025-0051), Huntingdon (021-0188, 021-5025-0034), Avenel (021-0005, 021-5025-0123), Llewellyn (021- 0520, 021-5025-0197), Chapel Hill (021-0014, 021-5025-0073), Clermont Farm (021-0019, 021- 5025-0312),

  • Patrick Henry
    LIBERTY UNIVERSITY PATRICK HENRY: THE SIGNIFICANCE OF HARMONIZED RELIGIOUS TENSIONS A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE HISTORY DEPARTMENT IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY BY KATIE MARGUERITE KITCHENS LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA APRIL 1, 2010 Patrick Henry: The Significance of Harmonized Religious Tensions By Katie Marguerite Kitchens, MA Liberty University, 2010 SUPERVISOR: Samuel Smith This study explores the complex religious influences shaping Patrick Henry’s belief system. It is common knowledge that he was an Anglican, yet friendly and cooperative with Virginia Presbyterians. However, historians have yet to go beyond those general categories to the specific strains of Presbyterianism and Anglicanism which Henry uniquely harmonized into a unified belief system. Henry displayed a moderate, Latitudinarian, type of Anglicanism. Unlike many other Founders, his experiences with a specific strain of Presbyterianism confirmed and cooperated with these Anglican commitments. His Presbyterian influences could also be described as moderate, and latitudinarian in a more general sense. These religious strains worked to build a distinct religious outlook characterized by a respect for legitimate authority, whether civil, social, or religious. This study goes further to show the relevance of this distinct religious outlook for understanding Henry’s political stances. Henry’s sometimes seemingly erratic political principles cannot be understood in isolation from the wider context of his religious background. Uniquely harmonized

  • “Beyond the Character of the Times”: Anglican Revivalists in Eighteenth-Century Virginia
    “Beyond the Character of the Times”: Anglican Revivalists in Eighteenth-Century Virginia By Frances Watson A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Liberty University 2021 Table of Contents Introduction 2 Chapter One: Beyond Evangelical – Anglican Revivalists 14 Chapter Two: Beyond Tolerant – Spreading Evangelicalism 34 Chapter Three: Beyond Patriotic – Proponents of Liberty 55 Conclusion 69 Bibliography 77 ~ 1 ~ Introduction While preaching Devereux Jarratt’s funeral service, Francis Asbury described him thus: “He was a faithful and successful preacher. He had witnessed four or five periodical revivals of religion in his parish. When he began his labours, there was no other, that he knew of, evangelical minister in all the province!”1 However, at the time of his death, Jarratt would be one of a growing number of Evangelical Anglican ministers in the province of Virginia. Although Anglicanism remained the established church for the first twenty three years of Jarratt’s ministry, the Great Awakening forcefully brought the message of Evangelicalism to the colonies. As the American Revolution neared, new ideas about political and religious freedom arose, and Evangelical dissenters continued to grow in numbers. Into this scene stepped Jarratt, his friend Archibald McRobert, and his student Charles Clay. These three men would distinguish themselves from other Anglican clergymen by emulating the characteristics of the Great Awakening in their ministries, showing tolerance in their relationships with other religious groups, and providing support for American freedoms. Devereux Jarratt, Archibald McRobert, and Charles Clay all lived and mainly ministered to communities in the Piedmont area.

  • Early Puritanism in the Southern and Island Colonies
    Early Puritanism in the Southern and Island Colonies BY BABETTE M. LEVY Preface NE of the pleasant by-products of doing research O work is the realization of how generously help has been given when it was needed. The author owes much to many people who proved their interest in this attempt to see America's past a little more clearly. The Institute of Early American History and Culture gave two grants that enabled me to devote a sabbatical leave and a summer to direct searching of colony and church records. Librarians and archivists have been cooperative beyond the call of regular duty. Not a few scholars have read the study in whole or part to give me the benefit of their knowledge and judgment. I must mention among them Professor Josephine W, Bennett of the Hunter College English Department; Miss Madge McLain, formerly of the Hunter College Classics Department; the late Dr. William W. Rockwell, Librarian Emeritus of Union Theological Seminary, whose vast scholarship and his willingness to share it will remain with all who knew him as long as they have memories; Professor Matthew Spinka of the Hartford Theological Sem- inary; and my mother, who did not allow illness to keep her from listening attentively and critically as I read to her chapter after chapter. All students who are interested 7O AMERICAN ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY in problems concerning the early churches along the Atlantic seaboard and the occupants of their pulpits are indebted to the labors of Dr. Frederick Lewis Weis and his invaluable compendiums on the clergymen and parishes of the various colonies.

As result among Harvard alumni, Union military losses were 10% compared with a 21% casualty rate for the Confederate Army. The battle of Gettysburg (PA) had the highest amount of Harvard alumni serving in the Union Army who were killed in action (i.e. 11), in addition 3 Harvard alumni Confederates also died in this battle. Secondly, seven Crimson warriors made the supreme sacrifice for the Union at Antietam (MD) with 5 more were killed in the battles of Cedar Mountain (VA) and Fredericksburg (VA). As expected, most of the Harvard alumni who died in the service of the Union were born and raised in the Northeastern states (e.g. 74% from Massachusetts). However, 9 Harvard alumni Union casualties were from the Mid West including one from the border state of Missouri. None of these Harvard men were from southern states.
