Therefore we are starting a new membership drive. If you know someone who loves genealogy as much as we do or who has a family history in Madison, tell them about our Society and all the good things we are doing. We need to maintain a baseline of about 100 members to continue to provide you the support you deserve. In an effort to better support our community and let them know that we are working hard on researching our Madison ancestors, we will be writing an article for Greene Publishing. It will appear in the local paper once every two weeks. We want to use this opportunity to tell everyone about our “Madison Pioneers.” We will be attempting to not only share all our beloved “genealogy” data, but to locate some stories about these folks. If you think you can help us, please let us know by sending in an article or a family you would like to see featured in the paper. Please, don’t forget pay for your 2014 dues. These dues pay for the production of our newsletters, as well as the internet access and genealogy programs we use to help our members. Thought about giving someone a birthday gift of a membership? If they are involved in genealogy they will probably love it and if not, well now might be the time to get them involved. Remember that without memberships, the society would be required to close down the library and possibly the society itself. Let’s NOT let that happen. Effective 1 May we will change the username and password on our Members only page to: Username: Second Password: Cousin. ************************************************************************************************************ Upcoming 2014/2015 Genealogy Conferences National Genealogical Society, 7-20 May 2014, Richmond, VA; the theme will be: Virginia—the First Frontier.

For hours the great states- man had been walking the floor, too miserable for sleep. Then came a knock at the door and Peter handed him a scrap of paper on which was hurriedly scrawled these words, “Mother and boy doing well- a fine hearty youngster, with hazel eyes and to his mother’s delight he has hair like your own. She sends dear love to the Father she is longing to see.” The night was almost over and Thomas Jefferson, after a prayer of thanksgiving, slept soundly. Two happy years passed for this devoted family and then Mrs.

Neem, Western Washington University Thomas Jefferson is often invoked as an advocate of limited government and a defender of individual rights. This article argues that rights were Jefferson’s starting place. Jefferson also believed that American citizens should have opportunities to develop the capabilities necessary to enjoy the full use of their rights. Rather than thinking about Jefferson as progovernment or antigovernment, this article concludes that we must understand the particular kind of government Jefferson desired, the ends he had in mind, and why and how those ends differed from his Federalist predecessors. A better understanding of Jefferson’s statecraft not only offers a new perspective on the relationship between government and rights in Jefferson’s thought but also how and why Jeffersonians in power used the state to promote individual freedom.

  • CHAPTER 8:HISTORICAL and CULTURAL RESOURCES Overview a Brief History of Chesterfield County
    CHAPTER 8: HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES Overview Chesterfield County enjoys the distinction of being an area with one of the longest periods of continuous habitation in the country. In looking towards the future, it is important to understand, and to appropriately preserve and promote the county’s rich historical and cultural foundation. Not only can students experience hands-on learning at these historic sites, but Chesterfield County can also increase local business development through tourism. DESIRED OUTCOMES OF THIS CHAPTER: • Preservation of Historic Places and Structures • Leverage Historic Assets to Create a Sense of Place and Foster Tourism • Support Partnerships and Private Preservation of Historic Resources • Utilize Historic Places for Events, Education and Other Unique Experiences A Brief History of Chesterfield County The county was originally inhabited by the Appamatuck Tribe, one of many tribes ruled by Chief Wahasonacock. In 1611, Sir Thomas Dale led a group of colonists from the original English settlement at Jamestown to the “Citie of Henricus” located on Farrar’s Island. In 1613, Dale seized various lands around the area where John Rolfe cultivated a salable variety of tobacco for English export for the Virginia Company of London. Tobacco became the colony’s main export and source of revenue. In 1619, the first iron furnace, and one of the first industrial developments in America, was established on Falling Creek near the James River. Other early American accomplishments included private property ownership, beginning of public education and experiments in representative government. In March 1622, Chief Wahasonacock’s successor, Chief Opechancanough, launched a coordinated attack on area settlements, many of which never recovered and were abandoned.

  • Archaeological Monitoring at Eppington Plantation Chesterfield, Virginia
    ARCHAEOLOGICAL MONITORING AT EPPINGTON PLANTATION CHESTERFIELD, VIRGINIA Prepared for: Brian A. Gregaitis Project Coordinator Planning and Construction Services Division Parks and Recreation Chesterfield County, Virginia Principal Investigator: Nicholas M. Luccketti, M.A., RPA Authors: Sean Romo, B.S. Garrett Fesler, Ph.D., RPA James River Institute for Archaeology, Inc. 223 McLaws Circle, Suite 1 Williamsburg, Virginia 23185 (757) 229-9485 ii Figure 1. 2013 USGS topo map of the Winterpock Quadrangle showing the location of Eppington Plantation. iii iv ABSTRACT Repairs and renovations to the ca. 1770 Eppington mansion by the Chesterfield County Parks and Recreation Department (CCPRD) included the excavation of nine trenches to hold new drainpipes, intended to improve the flow of water away from the mansion. Due to the presence of subsurface archaeological features at Eppington plantation and in the immediate vicinity of the mansion, the CCPRD contracted the James River Institute for Archaeology (JRIA) to monitor the excavation of the trenches, and to document any artifacts and/or subsurface features identified within. JRIA also recorded and collected artifacts from recent excavations in the basement of the Eppington mansion, also undertaken as part of the restoration project at the house. Excavation of the trenches took place on 16, 17 and 21 July 2014, and revealed eight features. One of these features was a ca. 1770 foundation for the original porch of the Eppington mansion, destroyed when the east and west wings of that structure were installed ca. 1790. Another feature was a large-scale deposit of gravel-filled soil which may be evidence for wide-area landscaping activities at Eppington.
