    A Genealogy and History Journal of the Germanna Research Group October, 2012 Vol. 2, No. 3 GRG Myths, Evidence and Logic The True Story of Fort Germanna, New German Town and Spotswood’s Second Colony Settlers By Michael L. Oddenino Owing to thin historical research on Germanna, myths arise to fill the gaps much as weeds fill an unattended garden. Weeds of historical inaccuracy abound in the garden of Germanna his- tory. A thick patch of weeds is found in the myths of the Germanna settlers known as the Second Colony and where they first lived after arriving in Virginia as indentured servants working for Lt. Governor Alexander Spotswood. An oft repeated myth is that the Second Colony settlers lived in- side Fort Germanna with the already present First Colony settlers. Weeds, so many weeds. This piece will clear the garden of those weeds and establish that the Second Colony settlers set up shop in New German Town in what is now Culpeper County, never having lived at Fort Germanna. My experience as a lawyer teaches me that evidence is critical in accurately determining what happened in the past. Every court case is an exercise in teaching a judge or jury the history of the case. The stronger the evidence presented, the greater likelihood of a favorable outcome for the party able to marshal the most convincing evidence. This article examines the evidence which tells the story of where a certain group of German immigrants lived in colonial Virginia in the early 1700s. History often gets shrouded in myth with myth taking on the characteristics of how we, to- day, wish the events of the past might have happened.

We provide descriptions of the physical landscape, the regional setting and its history, and the refuge setting, including its history, current administration, programs, and specifi c refuge resources. Much of what we describe below refl ects the refuge environment as it was in 2007. Since that time, we have been writing, compiling and reviewing this document. As such, some minor changes likely occurred to local conditions or refuge programs as we continued to implement under current management. However, we do not believe those changes appreciably affect what we present below. The Physical Landscape Watershed Our project area is part of the Chesapeake Bay watershed, a drainage basin of 64,000 square miles encompassing parts of the states of Delaware, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia. The waters of that basin fl ow into the Chesapeake Bay, the nation’s largest estuary. The watershed contains an array of habitat types, including mixed hardwood forests typical of the Appalachian Mountains, grasslands and agricultural fi elds, lakes, rivers, and streams, wetlands and shallow waters, and open water in tidal rivers and the estuary. That diversity supports more than 2,700 species of plants and animals, including Service trust resources such as endangered or threatened species, migratory birds, and anadromous fi sh (www.fws.gov/chesapeakebay/ coastpgm.htm).

    Thomas Jefferson and the Origins of Newspaper Competition in Pre- Revolutionary Virginia Original research paper submitted to The History Division of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication, 2007 AEJMC Convention Roger P. Mellen George Mason University June 2007 Thomas Jefferson and the Origins of Newspaper Competition in Pre-Revolutionary Virginia “Until the beginning of our revolutionary dispute, we had but one press, and that having the whole business of the government, and no competitor for public favor, nothing disagreeable to the governor could be got into it. We procured Rind to come from Maryland to publish a free paper.” Thomas Jefferson1 Great changes came to the printing business in Virginia in 1765. About the time that Parliament passed the Stamp Act, a second printer was encouraged to open another shop in Williamsburg, marking the beginnings of competition in that field. This was an important watershed for the culture and government of the colony, for it signified a shift in the power structure. Control of public messages began to relocate from the royal government to the consumer marketplace. This was a transformation that had a major impact on civic discourse in the colony. Despite such significance, the motivations behind this change and the relevance of it have often been misunderstood. For example, it is widely accepted that Thomas Jefferson was responsible for bringing such print competition to Virginia. This connection has been constantly repeated by historians, as has early print historian Isaiah Thomas’s contention that Jefferson confirmed this in a letter written specifically from the former president to Thomas.

  • Bruton Parish Church - a Brief History
    Bruton Parish Church - A Brief History After Middle Plantation, between the York and James Rivers, was "laid out and paled in" in 1633, a parish with the same name was established. Colonists soon built a church, but no one knows when or where. In 1644, Harrop Parish in James City County became active, and it united with Middle Plantation Parish in 1658 to form Middletown Parish. Still more consolidation followed in 1674 when Marston Parish (1654) in York County merged with Middletown Parish to form Bruton Parish. The name honored the prominent Ludwell family and Governor Sir William Berkeley, whose ancestral homes were at Bruton in County Somerset, England. In its earliest records of April 18, 1674, the vestry named the Reverend Roland Jones as the first rector and authorized buying glebe lands. Three years later, the vestry agreed to build a new brick church to serve the consolidated parish. In 1678, Colonel John Page, a wealthy colonist, donated a plot of land about 144 feet by 180 feet and £20 sterling for building a brick church and for the surrounding churchyard. Other subscribers pledged additional funds. The brick church, about 60 feet by 24 feet, rose to the north and west of the present church building. Completed in 1683 and dedicated the next year at the Epiphany, Bruton Parish Church was of Gothic design with supporting buttresses. Soon the vestry authorized a steeple and a ring of bells. Royal approval of the structure came in 1694 when the governor, Sir Edmund Andros, gave the parish a large silver server (paten) which the church still has.
