  • WHERE DID HUGH COME FROM? by Margaret Amundson
    WHERE DID HUGH COME FROM? By Margaret Amundson In the past, several different family historians have offered theories explaining where they thought Hugh was from in Europe. One such theory was advanced by the Reverend French Forrest, a descendant of Hugh's in answer to a Richmond Times Dispatch weekly genealogy column, popular at the turn of the last century.1[1] He said in the article the Frenches were from Rosscommon County, Ireland. Rudimentary attempts have been made to prove or disprove this theory, without results. Others have advanced the theory that he was related somehow to the George Mason family and point to the use of Mason as a given name, in the French family and French in the Mason family, as evidence of this relationship. Certainly the George Mason of Gunston Hall Family, clearly had a reason for using French as a given name. George1 Mason's mother was Ann French. His first wife is said to have been Mary French. There is evidence she was named Mary,2[2] however, nowhere is there a record that identifies her as nee French. This theory was probably advanced long before the authors of The Five George Masons, discovered the record in England showing Ann French married George1 Mason's father. Thomas Mason, his father, was a yeoman farmer in the village of Pershore, in the Vale of Eveshame, Worcestershire, England.3[3] No creditable evidence establishing a kinship tie between these two families has been found.4[4] There was not the web of interconnecting relationships typical of community structure between this Mason and French family.

  • Buckland History
    HISTORIC SITE FILE: Bu ti< LftAl D PRINCE WILLIAM PVBUC LIBRARY SYSTEM RELIC/Bull Run Reg Lib Manassas, VA Buckland History Prior to the establishment of Buckland Towne in 1798, this same site, on the banks of Broad Run, was a thriving prehistoric, Native American settlement. The first recorded deeds make reference to the "Indian Springs". There were five springs, which indicates a rather large Indian population. Jefferson Street, that bisects the village of Buckland, was once known as the Iroquois Trail. (Record of this Trail appears in 1662, when Col. Abraham Wood, a noted surveyor of his day, reported that "the Susquehannoc Indians would leave their main village about forty miles up the Susquehanna River; make their way to Point of Rocks, thence down into North Carolina, where they would barter with Indians on the Yadkin River for beaver skins, then return to New Amsterdam and sell their skins to the Dutch".) After the Treaty of Albany was signed in 1722, the trail be~ame known as the Carolina Trail or Road. This location on the banks of Broad Run with a never failing, swift flow of water, proved to be as desirable to the European settlers but, rather for the establishment of mills. The land at Buckland was originally part of the Broad Run Tract owned by Robert (King) Carter and after his death, his sons, Landon and Charles, deeded the tract in 1771 to brother-in-law Walker Taliaferro. The Carter family had operated a Mill here in the early 177o's when the property was conveyed in 1774 to Samuel Love "together with the mill built and erected thereon and the land mill dam and other appurtenances used with said mill".

  • September 2020
    View as Webpage September 2020 Neighbors, While the past six months of COVID times have brought much change and challenge to our lives, they have also brought a change of pace. Many are finding more time to spend with their families, visit our parks, take a walk in the neighborhood or ride our many bike trails throughout the County. Personally, one of my wife Deb’s and my new favorite activities is to grab a sandwich from a local restaurant along with our lawn chairs and head to the river to enjoy a picnic in the park. Now, with fall upon us, I expect we will see even more of our friends and neighbors enjoying opportunities like these. This change of pace and activity also remind us of the importance of parks in our communities. The November election ballot will include a parks bond that I hope you will support. Projects in our area include: a second sheet of ice at Mount Vernon RECenter, renewal of Lee District RECenter, design improvements for the South Run RECenter, phase one of construction for an archaeology-and-collections facility in Lorton and improvements for the Laurel Hill Golf Course and Mount Vernon Woods Park. These are in addition to funding for system-wide renovations and life-cycle needs for playgrounds, irrigation and lighting systems, restrooms, picnic shelters, bridges and trails. With the increase in bicycle riders on our trails and streets, this is a perfect year to join the Tour de Mount Vernon Community Bike Ride on October 3, 2020. With 35-mile and 20-mile options, this ride is very accessible for most and an excellent opportunity to see many of the outdoor highlights of the southern portion of the District.

The martlet or swallow is a favorite device in European heraldry, and has assumed a somewhat unreal character from the circumstance that it catches its food on the wing and never appears to light on the ground as other birds do. It is depicted in armory always with wings close and in pro­ file, with no visable legs or feet. The martlet is the appropriate "differ­ ence" or mark of cadency for the fourth son. It is modernly used to signify, as the bird seldom lights on land, so younger brothers have little land to rest on but the wings of their own endeavor, who, like the swallows, become the travellers in their season.

  • Abstract Hero, Villian, and Diplomat: an Investigation
    ABSTRACT HERO, VILLIAN, AND DIPLOMAT: AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE MULTIPLE IDENTITIES OF COMMANDER JOHN MASON IN COLONIAL CONNECTICUT BY William Lee Dreger Traditionally, historians have treated the convergence of cultures between natives and Europeans in North America as a linear narrative resulting in overwhelming European dominance. While much that has been argued in favor of this stance is strongly supported by available sources, this position tends to oversimplify the dynamics of colonial interaction. Through an in-depth and focused study of Commander John Mason and his many identities in seventeenth- century colonial Connecticut this widely-accepted simplified explanation of interaction can be replaced by the more complex reality. Mason, the commander of English forces during the Pequot War, simultaneously attempted to annihilate surrounding Pequots and maintain positive relations with members of the Mohegan tribe, a group that in the previous decade had splintered from the Pequot tribe. Through both primary and secondary sources one can better understand Mason, the Pequot War, and the intricacies of colonial interaction concerning settlers and natives writ large.

  • Early History of Thoroughbred Horses in Virginia (1730-1865)
    Early History of Thoroughbred Horses in Virginia (1730-1865) Old Capitol at Williamsburg with Guests shown on Horseback and in a Horse-drawn Carriage Virginia History Series #11-08 © 2008 First Horse Races in North America/Virginia (1665/1674) The first race-course in North America was built on the Salisbury Plains (now known as the Hempstead Plains) of Long Island, New York in 1665. The present site of Belmont Park is on the Western edge of the Hempstead Plains. In 1665, the first horse racing meet in North America was held at this race-course called “Newmarket” after the famous track in England. These early races were match events between two or three horses and were run in heats at a distance of 3 or 4 miles; a horse had to complete in at least two heats to be judged the winner. By the mid-18th century, single, "dash" races of a mile or so were the norm. Virginia's partnership with horses began back in 1610 with the arrival of the first horses to the Virginia colonies. Forward thinking Virginia colonists began to improve upon the speed of these short stocky horses by introducing some of the best early imports from England into their local bloodlines. Horse racing has always been popular in Virginia, especially during Colonial times when one-on-one matches took place down village streets, country lanes and across level pastures. Some historians claim that the first American Horse races were held near Richmond in Enrico County (now Henrico County), Virginia, in 1674. A Match Race at Tucker’s Quarter Paths – painting by Sam Savitt Early Racing in America Boston vs Fashion (The Great Match Race) Importation of Thoroughbreds into America The first Thoroughbred horse imported into the American Colonies was Bulle Rock (GB), who was imported in 1730 by Samuel Gist of Hanover County, Virginia.
