P. BELL COMPANY, Inc., Publishers Lynchburg, Virginia This book is No, FIRST EDITION Copyright by J. P. Bell Co., Inc. Lynchburg, Va. Printed in the United States of America, by J. P. Bell Co., Inc., Lynchburg, Va. 1134388 DEDICATION In loving memory of my father and mother JUDGE JOHN HOWARD BASKETTE and MATILDA DUVAL BASKETTE and all other descendants of Virginia-Kentucky DuVals v INTRODUCTION THIS book was written to meet the need of a permanent record of the history of the descendants of four brothers of the old Virginia family of Col. Samuel DuVal of “Mt. Comfort/’ Henrico County, Va. On this plantation of five hundred acres was built the Chestnut Hill and Highland Park additions of the present city of Richmond, Va. The book is divided into four parts which contain the various records of the four brothers, Maj. William DuVal, Col. Daniel DuVal, Col. Samuel Sheperd DuVal and Maj. Claiborne DuVal. They are taken up in the order of their emigration to Kentucky. Their descendants married into many of the prominent early families of Virginia, Kentucky, Florida, Tennessee, Louisiana and Texas, and have scattered into many states where they have helped make history. Many of them including present generations have held posts of responsibility and high honor. The Huguenots have blessed and enriched every land to which they fled after the revocation of the edict of Nantes. Of all these refugees who gladly availed themselves of the lure of New World protection and opportunity, none have been more patriotic and zealous in maintaining the high ideals of American citizenship than this old Virginia family of DuVal. Their descendants stand high on the rolls of naval, military, legal, educational, civil, and religious annals. Their devotion to their adopted country was equaled only by their loyalty to their Huguenot principles of truth and right, and their pride in their DuVal-Claibome pedigree. In the addenda of this book, as well as in various individual records will be found information that will enable any descendant of these four brothers to obtain data necessary for membership in such patriotic organizations as S. A. R., D. A. R., Patriots and Founders, Colonial Dames, F. F. V/s and Huguenot Society as well as Sons and Daughters of 1812 and the U. D. C/s. This is a most unusual feature in family histories. Such data would, if VII Introduction procured through professional genealogists cost from $25.00 up. The author has spent four years and spared neither time, strength nor money to secure this valuable data, which she gladly includes for the benefit of the DuVal descendants. Further, in the addenda, containing records of the Pope—Wash¬ ington— Claiborne—Russell—Bolling—Baskette families is com¬ piled history that should enrich the minds, inspire the souls and thrill the hearts of all their posterity who read “DuVals of Kentucky/7 In conclusion these records are printed as given by various members of this family of DuVal. Also are given the legends of romances and experiences, amusing or sad, that eve^ family of ten generations accumulates through the passing of the years. VIII Mrs. C. H. Buchanan Historian DuVal Family Association FOREWORD I ^HERE is nothing new under the sun” someone has said. 1 This fact, if it be such, can aptly be applied to these records which have been accumulated after four years of endless letter writing and effort. Not every one realizes the use of gathering family statistics, possibly contented like the man who has been often quoted as describing the circumference of his outlook on life thus: “Me and my wife, my son John and his wife—us four and no more.” It is not this narrow conception of family pride that has prompted this feeble and often seemingly futile effort at assembling as many records as could be found of the descendants of one of the most prominent and loyal of the old Huguenot families that refugeed to Virginia, after the revocation of the edict of Nantes in Frances. It was from the debt of love owing to the memory of a precious mother who began this compilation, but whose fingers faltered and failed when time and death arrested their task, that we desired to get the records of her ancestors in some sort of permanent shape, to be passed on to the coming generations of this family, now scat¬ tered through many states of our country. We feel that the sacred influence of the past will bless our effort to give this information for the benefit of the future. We realize that these records are far from complete, but are herewith compiled, until some later historian of the DuVals of Kentucky can be more successful in securing more desired informa¬ tion from the descendants not represented here. We hope that this will prove but the beginning of a more complete history of the Kentucky DuVals descended from Col. Samuel DuVal, of “Mt. Comfort,” Virginia. Fearing the uncertainty of life and encroaching disabilities of age, we have put these records into this shape until a future method of preservation can be determined upon by members of the DuVal IX Foreword Family Association, composed of many descendants of Colonel Samuel DuVal, of Virginia. The Association was organized on August 30, 1936, in McKen- dree Church, Nashville, Tennessee, with forty members, “in-laws” and allied visitors present, a very encouraging beginning with every prospect of an increased attendance at the next reunion. We insert here a newspaper notice of the meeting: Nashville Banner, September 2, 1936 DUVAL FAMILY REUNION “Descendants of Samuel DuVal, Revolutionary soldier of Huguenot descent, held a reunion last Sunday, in the dining-room of McKendree Methodist Church for the purpose of organizing a family association. McKendree Church was chosen as a meeting place in recognition of the sentiment attached to the memory of a member of the family, the Reverend James Gwin, an early pastor of the church, who also served as Andrew Jackson’s army chaplain. “Greetings from the members of the family living in Nashville were extended by Lee Baskette; and Robert DuVal of Springfield, Tennessee, gave the response. Mrs. Margaret Buchanan of Richmond, Ky., gave a short talk on Samuel DuVal and his plantation, ‘Mt. Comfort,’ Va., now Chestnut Hill and Highland Park sections in Richmond, Va. “The following officers were elected: John DuVal of Nashville, president; Col. William J. DuVal, of Hutchinson, Kansas, Judge DuVal West of San Antonio, Texas, and Judge E. F. Higgins, of El Paso, Texas, vice-presidents; Mrs. Richard Reynolds of Nashville, recording secretary; and Robert DuVal of Springfield, Tennessee, treasurer; Mrs. Buchanan, historian; Miss Mayme LaRue of Franklin, Ky., genealogist, and Col. A. K. Baskette of Columbus, Ohio, T. D. Dunscomb of Columbia, S. C., and Mrs. Buchanan, publication committee. “The 1937 reunion will be held in Franklin, Ky., the last Sunday in August.*” Edmund Burke profoundly remarked that “a man who is not proud of his ancestry will not leave after him anything for which his posterity may be proud of him.” *Since the death of Miss Mayme LaRue, this meeting was held in Nash¬ ville, Tennessee, September 5, 1937. X Foreword Daniel Webster says: “There is a moral and philosophical respect for our ancestors which elevates the character and improves- the heart. Next to the sense of religious duty and moral feeling, I hardly know what should bear with stronger obligation on a liberal and enlightened mind, than a consciousness of an alliance with departed worth.” I wish to acknowledge my appreciation of the cordial co-operation of all those who have assisted me in compiling these records. I am deeply grateful for the loyal spirit of the members of this tine old family of DuVal, 1701-1937. Margaret Gwin Buchanan, Richmond, Kentucky XI SPONSORS Adams, Frank H. .Logan, W. Va.

MORTON AND COMPANY 1'rinten m 111~ riton ~tu 1903 OOPYIDGHTED BY THE FILSON CLUB 1903 PREFACE N the year 1780 the battle of King's Mountain was I won by colonial backwoodsmen in the midst of con­ ditions not unlike those of 1813, when Kentuckians won the battle of the Thames. The disasters which befell the Americans before both of these battles filled the public mind with a despondency which hung like a funeral pall over sorrowing patriotism. Isaac Shelby, the first and the sixth governor of Kentucky, was a leader in both of these battles, and the antecedents, the surroundings, and the consequences of each of them were· as like as his com­ manding person in both. Before the battle of King's Mountain the outlook for the Americans, especially in the South, was through thick gloom. Gates, with the glory of Saratoga blazing upon him, had suffered a disastrous defeat at Camden. Sevier, who was supposed to be always upon his guard, was sur­ prised at Fishing Creek. But worst of all Lincoln, after failing to recover Savannah, had lost Charleston at the end of a long and distressful siege.

Florida was a state for just sixteen years before secession set it apart from the rest of the Union, but Florida’s road to secession was as unique as any of its southern counterparts. From the territorial days in the early nineteenth century, Florida’s political culture centered on the development and protection of slavery throughout the state.
