PWC 1865 -1875 Newspaper Transcripts Prince William County Virginia 1865 -1875 Newspaper Transcripts Ronald Ray Turner .• Prince William County Virginia 1865-1875 Newspaper Transcripts Ronald Ray Turner Prince William County Virginia 1865 - 1875 Newspaper Transcripts Copyright 2001 by Ronald Ray Turner 9901 Greenview Lane Manassas, Virginia 20109 Printed in the United States of America The Prince William County Virginia Newspaper Transcripts 1865 - 1875 were transcribed from microfilmed newspapers at the Bull Run Library, Manassas, VA and the public libraries of Warrenton and Fredericksburg. The Alexandria Gazette was the main source of information although there are many articles from the few surviving papers of the Manassas Gazette. Two newspapers, The Prince William Democrat and The Prince William Advocate, were published in Brentsville in this time period although no complete papers are known to exist. Ronald Ray Turner Alexandria Gazette 17 Jun 1865 An election of County Officers was held in Prince William County, Va., on the 1st inst., which resulted in the entire success by a handsome majority of the Conservative Ticket. F. C. Cannon was elected Sheriff; Aylett Nicol, Commonwealth's Attorney; John Camper, Clerk of Circuit Court; M. B. Sinclair, Clerk of County Court; J. S. Stork and W. C. Merchant, Commissioners of the Revenue; and Silas Butler, Surveyor. There was no election for delegates to the general Assembly. Alexandria Gazette 29 Jul 1865 PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY -- We were informed some time since and so stated that the election in Prince William County, held on the 1st of June last, for county officers, had been set aside. We were misinformed, however, and we have learned to day that the magistrates are receiving their commissions, and strong efforts are being made to organize the County in civil jurisdiction, by holding a County Court on the 1st Monday in August. As there is no judge elected for this judicial district, the Clerk of the Circuit Court, we presume will not be able to qualify within the time prescribed by law, and probably another election for that office will be held. Who are Entitled to Vote in Virginia -- Thomas R. Bowden, Attorney General of Virginia, gives it as his opinion that there are two classes of voters, and their votes should be received by the Commissioners: 1st. All persons in other respects qualified, (i.e.) white citizens over the age of twenty-one, and resident in the county or town in which they offer to vote six months preceding the election, unless they have held offices, civil or diplomatic, under the so-called Confederate Government, or otherwise embrace in the first twelve exceptions and the fourteenth exception of President Johnson's Amnesty Proclamation. 2nd. Persons who have held civil office under the so called Confederate Government, or who are otherwise embraced in the said exception of President Johnson's Amnesty Proclamation, may, nevertheless, vote, if they have been specially pardoned by the President.

  • Prince William Reliquary
    January 2003 Vol. 2, No. 1 Prince William Reliquary RELIC, Bull Run Library, Manassas, Virginia REL-I-QUAR-Y: (noun) A receptacle for keeping or displaying relics. THE HISTORY OF THE BLACKBURN FAMILY by Louisa D. F. Hogue, recopied by Ruth C. S. Black with an introduction by Brendon Hanafin* Rippon Lodge is an 18th century plantation house located in Woodbridge, Virginia. The house was built circa 1745 by Colonel Richard Blackburn of Rippon, England. Blackburn was one of the founding fathers of the Port of Dumfries, and a carpenter by trade. His son, Thomas, served in the Revolutionary War under George Washington and Washington was a frequent guest. Washington’s nephew, Bushrod, married Anne Blackburn at Rippon and later owned the plantation after Thomas’ death. This manuscript, written by Louisa Hogue in the late 19th century is a remarkable genealogical document and offers a unique glimpse into Rippon Lodge’s Rippon Lodge courtesy Brendon Hanafin storied past. Her grandson, Antarctic explorer Admiral Richard Blackburn Black, purchased Rippon in the early 1950’s. Prince William County purchased Rippon Lodge from the Black family in 2000 and is in the process of restoring the house and readying the site for public access. Although the house and grounds remain closed during the restoration, the public is invited to Rippon Lodge on the 3rd and 11th of May for a day of tours, hikes and archeological programs. There is so much that is intensely interesting connected with the maternal ancestry of my great grandfather William Baylis that I must give a preliminary IN THIS ISSUE sketch of this line at the outset.
