  • SP Bencoolynfarm D9.Pdf
    THOMAS JEFFERSON APRIL 9, 1797 View of Ben Coolyn Farm from main residence looking northwest towards vineyard and Southwest Mountains. THE FIRST EUROPEAN AND AFRICAN-AMERICAN SETTLERS arrived at the Chestnut or Little Mountains in the 1730s, gradually establishing small farms and dwellings in what was then western Goochland County, Virginia. Known today as the Southwest Mountains, an approximately 45-mile chain of northeast to southwest oriented peaks extending from Orange County on the north to the Rivanna River on the south, this geographic landmark is the easternmost BEN COOLYN ridge of the Appalachian Mountains in central Virginia. The eastern slope of the Southwest Mountains attracted many early settlers due to its fertile and well-drained soils, as well as the abundance of natural resources. In 1797 Thomas Jefferson, whose Monticello residence is located in the Carter’s Mountain ridge of the same chain, described the Southwest Mountains as “the Eden of the United States for soil, climate, navigation and health.” An area rich in heritage, this part of Albemarle County possesses numerous historic homes surrounded by agricultural landscapes. The Southwest Mountains district still retains a landscape characteristic of its agricultural past with forested mountains, rolling hills, numerous drainages and open fields, one which its original settlers would still recognize today. Many of the region’s cultural and natural place names present in the mid-eighteenth century still survive today and provide a tangible link to the past. Ben Coolyn is one of several prominent estates that occupy the foothills of the Southwest Mountains. Its siting on a low ridge with a 360-degree view make it one of the most beautiful situations in Albemarle County.

An Analysis of Techniques Used to Manage Historic Open Spaces on Two Suburban American University Campuses Abstract As more and more Americans are attending higher educational institutions, the built environment of these places is becoming relevant to a larger number of people. To many graduates familiar with a university, its ensemble of buildings and spaces have the ability to stir up a sense of personal meaning associated with a past era in their life. It is important to preserve these campuses, by maintaining resources that already exist and protecting them from inappropriate change that would diminish their integrity. The physical environment of a university is often an icon of the school. The school's community as well as the public associates the architecture and landscape of a school as part of its identity.

  • Descendants of William
    Descendants of William Generation 1 1. WILLIAM (Robert, Richard, Richard) was born in 1027 in Falaise, France. He died on 09 Sep 1087 in Rouen, England. He married Matilda between 1051-1053 in France. She was born in 1032. She died on 03 Nov 1083. Notes for William: William the Conqueror is my seventh cousin, 26 times removed. The ancestor in common with William and me is the ninth century Norwegian Viking, Eystein Glumra Ivarsson. Glumra Ivarsson is William's sixth great grandfather and Glumra Ivarsson is my 32nd great grandfather on my Mother's Abney side of the family. William is the 17th great grandfather of affluent Englishman Edward Southworth, first husband of Alice Carpenter, on my Father's side of the family. Alice, through her second marriage, is my seventh great grandmother. William is the 31st great grandfather to my Westmoreland grandchildren: Katie, Jack, Lily, Sarah and Sam. Early in his adult life, he was known as William II, Duke of Normandy. It was later that he became better known as William I, or William the Conqueror, King of England. He subdued rebellious vassals, defeated King Henry I of France at Val des Dunes (Henry is William's first cousin, twice removed). William defeated Harold, Saxon King of England at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. He was crowned King of England on December 22, 1066, according to some reports. Others place the coronation on Christmas day. The coronation was in Westminster Abbey. So, it can be said that this part of our family did not immigrate to England.

  • Read a More Comprehensive History of James Monroe Here
    PRESIDENT JAMES MONROE Our country's fifth President, James Monroe endured the untimely loss of his parents, carried a musket and faced fierce fighting in the American Revolutionary War, took a bullet to the shoulder and grieved over the death of an infant son. Monroe's war time service was followed by nearly fifty years of public service. It is in those offices that he had a hand in shaping the nation, from conducting negotiations for land purchases which effectively doubled the size of the United States, to penning his Monroe Doctrine which opposed any further colonization by European powers in the western hemisphere, to helping the country avoid a sectional crisis with the Missouri Compromise. He was the most qualified man to ever assume the office, and he was a skilled farmer as well. It seemed there was nothing Monroe could not do. Revolutionary War Hero. Lawyer. State Legislator. Congressman. Senator. Diplomat. Governor of Virginia. Secretary of State. Secretary of War. President of the United States. “A better man cannot be.” - Thomas Jefferson, 1785 Introduction James Monroe was a deliberate thinker as well as a nationalist in diplomacy and defense. He supported a limited executive branch of the federal government and advocated that the needs of the public should be paramount over personal greed and party ambition. He extolled the advantages of farmers and craftsmen, and distrusted a vigorous central government in domestic affairs. Chapter 1: Monroe's Early Years James Monroe's mother Elizabeth Jones Monroe was pictured as “a very amiable and respectable woman, possessing the best domestic qualities of a good wife, and a good parent,” recounts Monroe.
