  • Ancestry of Glendon Jean Starr Group Five
    Copyright 2014 Linda Sparks Starr ANCESTRY OF GLENDON JEAN STARR GROUP FIVE Edward Pate and Mary (Crawford) Eleanor (Pate) Clark Comstock Hambleton was the daughter of Edward Pate, born February 25, 1766 in Bedford County and Mary Crawford, born November 18, 1771 in neighboring Botetourt (pronounced "bought a tot") County, Virginia. We know very little about the childhood of either Edward or Mary. We can assume their life wasn't all that much different from others who grew up in the shadow of the Blue Ridge during the Revolutionary War years. Both fathers served with local militia companies, requiring them to be away from the family for three to six months at a time. Edward by then was old enough to take on the chores usually performed by his father and Mary would have been expected to keep her younger siblings from harm's way. Once the war was over dinner table conversation likely revolved around discussion of crop yields and the latest news from Kentucky. Edward and Mary married April 6, 1789 in Botetourt County and their first children, including your Eleanor, were born there. For them the decision to move west wasn't as difficult as it could have been. They were joining others -- her parents, several of their siblings and numerous friends. This group settled in Hardin County, but ended up in Ohio and Breckinridge when those two counties were carved out of the larger one. The first Court of the Quarter Sessions for Breckinridge County was held Monday, August 15, 1803 with William Comstock, Edward Pate and James Jennings presiding.

Hearing none she announced that they will stand approved as distributed. First Regent Wylie Raab welcomed everyone. She introduced our Administrative Assistant, Lena McAllister. Report of the First Regent: “It’s hard to guess how many times over the past 6 years I’ve idly thought about how wise the Hertles were in crafting the Deed of Gift. For everyone in this room, the days of considering that gesture idly are long gone. Had the Hertles given Gunston Hall outright to the NSCDA, we would not have benefited from much the Commonwealth has made possible over 62 years. And had they given it outright to the Commonwealth, it is hard to imagine Gunston Hall would ever have enjoyed the intellectual, scholarly, or meticulous stewardship which the Dames have devotedly provided.

  • WHEN ARLINGTON WAS PART of the DISTRICT of COLUMBIA By
    WHEN ARLINGTON WAS PART OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA By DEAN C. ALLARD For almost fifty years in the first half of the nineteenth century, the area now known as Arlington was part of the District of Columbia. This article will discuss some of the economic aspects of our county during this period and refer to a number of the area's families. It also will explore the process by which the region was retroceded to the Old Dominion in 1847. The former Virginia territory incorporated in the Federal District when that jurisdiction was established in 1801 was known as Alexandria County. It in­ cluded the town of Alexandria, which continued to have a separate urban charter and its own governmental apparatus.1 The overall county, which in­ cluded Arlington, was governed by justices of the peace appointed by the President and several federal courts. Over the following forty-six years, however, there was little other evidence of federal activity in Airington. This was especial­ ly the case since the act creating the District stipulated that no federal buildings could be erected in the portion ceded by Virginia. 2 At the time the District was formed, Arlington represented the rural hinder: land of Alexandria. Compared to that city's population of about 5,000 souls, the much larger geographic area of Arlington had less than a thousand residents, three hundred of whom were slaves. Its almost exclusive economic activity was agriculture, but visitors commented on the poor quality of much of the land and the existence of a number of abandoned fields slowly returning to forest.

  • JOHN MASON of ANALOSTAN ISLAND by Few People Who Live Or
    JOHN MASON OF ANALOSTAN ISLAND By WILLARD J. WEBB Few people who live or work in the multistoried Rosslyn of today rea­ lize that its antecedents as a community date back to 1798 and an attempt to found a town there called South Haven. In 1798, John Mason, the son of George Mason of Gunston Hall, petitioned the Virginia Assembly for authority to found such a town on land he owned along the Virginia shore of the Potomac, opposite Georgetown in what is now Arlington. The Assembly passed the necessary legislation, but the plan was never carried out, and development of Rosslyn did not begin until well after the Civil War. The reasons for the failure of Mason's project are not ap­ parent, and he is scarcely remembered in modern Rosslyn. He did, never­ theless, play a prominent role in the business and social affairs of both Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C., for almost sixty years from the early 1790s until his death in 1849. John Mason was the fourth of five sons and the seventh child of George and Ann Eilbeck Mason. He was born at his maternal grandmother's house in Charles County, Maryland, on April 4, 1766. He spent his child­ hood at Gunston Hall enjoying all the comforts associated with a large and prosperous plantation. The only trauma in his early life was the death of his mother when he was only six years old. He described this event in remarkable detail in an unfinished recollection of his early life written in his old age.

The channel between the island and the Virginia shore is commonly referred to as the Little River, and the smaller island located immediately southwest of Theodore Roosevelt Island is known as Little Island. Together the two islands comprise an 88.5-acre naturalistic landscape unique among the heavily urbanized environs. Although distinct, Little Island is managed as a component of the larger Theodore Roosevelt Island. In turn, Theodore Roosevelt Island falls under the auspices of the George Washington Memorial Parkway, a component of the National Park Service. The parkway runs parallel with the island along the Virginia shoreline to the west, and a pedestrian bridge facilitates access to the island across the Potomac River.

His brother, Isaac, was one of the leading citizens of Fayette County, Pa, listed in the Dictionary of American Biography as "pioneer ironmaster". In the same volume Samuel is a "desperado and river pirate". Samuel's sister, Elizabeth, married John Fell, a Methodist circuit-rider.
