Thomas Davis managed five plantations in Mississippi, including two inherited by his wife, and spent much of his time traveling. Annie Davis spent most of her time at his family home in Stateburg, SC. Shortly after Westmoreland Davis’ birth, his father, brother and sister died in quick succession. He and his mother moved to Richmond, VA to live with her uncle Richard Morriss (ca. 1822-1867). After the end of the Civil War the Davis’s were reduced to penury by the mismanagement of their plantations and legal obstacles to monies from bonds purchased by her father, Christopher Staats Morriss (1797-1850). Davis entered Virginia Military Institute as a scholarship student in 1873 at the age of 14.

Ile has never been subjected to the scrutiny of close and systematic study; ye� those familiar with his career, while not painting him as a wc�k governor, have not portraycci his administration as particularly striking either. Moreover, Stuart's relationship to the Demo­ cratic Party in the first two decades of this century is blurred. Some historians of the period place him squarely in the Martin org anization ranks as early as 1909; others consioer him an independent until 1920 at least. This essay seeks to clarify Stuart's political affilic1tions in Virginia. Moreover, while its sights are not firmly focused on hi� governorship, enough work has been done to indicate i i is major pcLicies as governor and to offer some evaluation of them. An iL-depth study of Stuart's a dministration, however, must await a iurcher study which is planned as a doctoral dissertation.

  • By Eleanor Lee Templeman Reprinted from the Booklet Prepared for the Visit of the Virginia State Legislators to Northern Virginia, January 1981
    THE HERITAGE OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA By Eleanor Lee Templeman Reprinted from the booklet prepared for the visit of the Virginia State Legislators to Northern Virginia, January 1981. The documented history of Northern Virginia goes back to John Smith's written description of his exploration of the Potomac in 1608 that took him to Little Falls, the head of Tidewater at the upper boundary of Arlington Coun­ ty. Successive charters issued to the Virginia Company in 1609 and 1612 granted jurisdiction over all territory lying 200 miles north and south of Point Comfort, "all that space and circuit of land lying from the seacoast of the precinct aforesaid, up into the land throughout from sea to sea, west and northwest." The third charter of 1612 included Bermuda. The first limitations upon the extent of the "Kingdom of Virginia," as it was referred to by King Charles I, came in 1632 when he granted Lord Baltimore a proprietorship over the part that became Maryland. The northeastern portion of Virginia included one of America's greatest land grants, the Northern Neck Proprietary of approximately six million acres. In 1649, King Charles II, a refugee in France because of the English Civil War, granted to seven loyal followers all the land between the Potomac and Rap­ pahannock Rivers. (Although the term, "Northern Neck" is usually applied to . that portion south of Fredericksburg, the largest portion is in Northern Virginia.) Charles II, then in command of the British Navy, was about to launch an attack to recover the English throne. His power, however, was nullified by Cromwell's decisive victory at Worcester in 1650.

  • History and Facts on Virginia
    History and Facts on Virginia Capitol Building, Richmond 3 HISTORY AND FACTS ON VIRGINIA In 1607, the first permanent English settlement in America was established at Jamestown. The Jamestown colonists also established the first representative legislature in America in 1619. Virginia became a colony in 1624 and entered the union on June 25, 1788, the tenth state to do so. Virginia was named for Queen Elizabeth I of England, the “Virgin Queen” and is also known as the “Old Dominion.” King Charles II of England gave it this name in appreciation of Virginia’s loyalty to the crown during the English Civil War of the mid-1600s. Virginia is designated as a Commonwealth, along with Kentucky, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. In 1779, the capital was relocated from Williamsburg to Richmond. The cornerstone for the Virginia Capitol Building was laid on August 18, 1785, and the building was completed in 1792. Modeled after the Maison Carrée at Nîmes, France, the Capitol was the first public building in the United States to be built using the Classical Revival style of architecture. Thomas Jefferson designed the central section of the Capitol, including its most outstanding feature: the interior dome, which is undetectable from the exterior. The wings were added in 1906 to house the Senate and House of Delegates.
