THE HISTORY OF THE BLACKBURN FAMILY by Louisa D. F. Hogue, recopied by Ruth C. S. Black with an introduction by Brendon Hanafin*
Rippon Lodge is an 18th century plantation house located in Woodbridge, Virginia. The house was built circa 1745 by Colonel Richard Blackburn of Rippon, England. Blackburn was one of the founding fathers of the Port of Dumfries, and a carpenter by trade. His son, Thomas, served in the Revolutionary War under George Washington and Washington was a frequent guest. Washington’s nephew, Bushrod, married Anne Blackburn at Rippon and later owned the plantation after Thomas’ death.
This manuscript, written by Louisa Hogue in the late 19th century is a remarkable genealogical document and offers a unique glimpse into Rippon Lodge’s Rippon Lodge courtesy Brendon Hanafin storied past. Her grandson, Antarctic explorer Admiral Richard Blackburn Black, purchased Rippon in the early 1950’s. Prince William County purchased Rippon Lodge from the Black family in 2000 and is in the process of restoring the house and readying the site for public access.
Although the house and grounds remain closed during the restoration, the public is invited to Rippon Lodge on the 3rd and 11th of May for a day of tours, hikes and archeological programs.

Evening coming on before we reached our destination, we made frequent inquiries about the road, mostly from negroes, whose

cabins, almost the only habitations of this wild region, we passed at considerably long intervals. The information given was usual[ly] accompanied by the assurance that it was a "right fair way." Arriving at Neapsco Mills after dark, we were recieved [sic] by the hospitable Mr. Atkinson, to whom I gave the letter of introduction, after which supper and bed were welcome refreshment. In the morning, "mine host" mounted his horse, and rode behind the buggy, accompanying and directing us to the old home of my ancestors. He showed me through the Mansion House, each room of which (except a dark room under the slanted roof) was supplied with an open fireplace, and a mantle with fluted woodwork. The walls were all paneled work, and so perfectly was the lumber seasoned and joined that not a seam or imperfection was to be seen. The foundation was going to ruin. There were great gaps where it appeared that the bricks composing it had probably been removed for use elsewhere. The outside collarway and door were also in ruins. From the dooryard in front of the house, the Potomac River was visible through openings in the forests of that wooded ridge, the same on which Mount Vernon stands, some twelve miles away to the northward. Scarsely [sic] more than a stone's throw from the mansion is the private graveyard, where our ancestor, Richard Blackburn, lies buried. Mr. Atkinson conducted me to this spot, chalked over the old gray stone which covered the grave, and traced out the letter[s] with a little twig, so that I might read the inscription entire, except in two or three places, one on either edge where a small chip had been broken off, and again where only the "V" of Virginia was legible, the remainder of the word being too much worn for even this method of deciphering to bring it out. Following is the INSCRIPTION.
Here Lieth the Body of Coll. RICHARD BLACKBURN Who Departed this Life July the 15th 1757 In the 52nd Year of His Age He was Born in Rippon England From Whence He came to Virginia where he Acquired A Reputable Character was Intrusted And Preferred [?] by the Governor to the ( )nent Stations & Command in the ( ) well as by the People who made ( ) ( ) esentative in the General As(sembly) ( ) is Collony where he discharges His ( ) with Honor to Himself as well as to His Constituents who Reposed in him This Important Trust -- He was a Man of Consumate Prudence Frugality & Indefatigable Industry Whereby he made a Large Fortune in V( ) He was Followed to the grave ( ) His Inseparable Friend the Honorable William Fairfax & and other Gents of Distinction together with his Disconsolate Relations who Mourned the lofs of so worthy And usefull a Man to them and his Country This Monument id [is] dedicated to his Memory by His Friend JOHN BAYLIS
Note: The stone from which the above was copied is broken in two, and in one place quite a scale has been broken out of the right-hand side of the inscription and a smaller one on the left.
Returning from the tomb, Mr. Atkinson pointed out the location of the old-time slave cabins, on the brow of a ravine back of the house. Between the ravine and the Mansion was a spacious door- yard where numerous large lilac bushes were loaded with bloom, and the grass was blue with grape
- 3 - Prince William Reliquary Vol. 2, No. 1 (January 2003) hyacinths, (or "blue bottles") both perfuming the air with their rich fragrance. Before departing, Mr. Atkinson drew from the house the last of the rude, iron shutter-holders, evidently made by a blacksmith, of clumsy workmanship, and presented it to me, as a souvenir of the historic old place. He also gave me a fragment from a piece of petrified log, lying in front of the house. As we left the spacious grounds, I plucked a spray of apple blossoms from a tree by the large gate. I had previously gathered Lilac blossoms and grape hyacinths, ("blue bottles", as we used to call them,) and as Mr. A. al[so] called them.) On the road back to Neapsco Mills, I found bird-foot violets (Viola pedada) a small cluster of which I secured as a further memento of Old Ripon Lodge Estate. After tarrying a while to arrange my flowers for pressin[g], and receiving directions about the road, we set out for Dumfries, the old County Seat of Prince William County, in the early days, also the home of our great-great grandfather John Baylis. In the old church-yard at Dumfries I copied a part of the inscription on the an old gravestone, very much broken, of which Mr. Rounds had told me. This inscription, so far as the fragments could be found and placed in their proper position for deciphering, and time sufficed for the work, will be given below:
Copy of Inscription on Fragments of a Gravestone at Dumfries, Pr. Wm. County, Va. The Body LACKBURN ll. e R R BLACKBURN He w n in Gloucester Co Virginia the day of October 173 departed this Life April the -7 in the 21st 6oar [=year] of his Age This sad Catastrophe His Death wa attended by Many others who were whirled out of a Pleasure Boat in Po [=Potomac] River ( ) the Mouth of Quantiao [Quantico] and perished in ( ) Waves. His Eminent Qualities --
(The lateness of the hour would not permit lingering longer to decipher the remainder from this original source, so the rest must be given from Mr. Rounds' copy, made a number of years earlier. Copy from Mr. Rounds' Copy: "His eminent qualities of mind and deportment gained him the Universal esteem of all Ranks of People who earnestly mourned the loss of a Worthy Person to whose memory this Monument is created by his Friends." Note.- Mr. Rounds had the beginning of this inscription a little f [sic] different, but, by placing fragments where they evidently belonged I got the reading as given. Who this young Blackburn was I have no means of knowing. But my theory is that, as Blackburns lived in Gloucester County, he may have been a relative of the family at Ripon Lodge, on a visit there, and that a pleasu[re] party in his honor was thus engulfed in the waters of the Potomac, at or near the mouth of Quantico, a tributary stream. This stream is mentioned in some of the Blackburn and Baylis deeds, in the descriptions of lands. (BH NOTE: This person was Blackburn’s son from his first marriage. He was probably living with his father at Rippon at the time.)

"Williamsburg, Apr. 24 We have Advice from Patowmack, that Capt. Foster, of the Branfly, lying in that river, being out in his Long Boat, on a Party of Pleasure, with Company, the Boat was unfortunately overset by a Squall of Wind, and six Persons drown'd, among whom was Col. Blackburn's eldest Son, and Mr. Pickett with his Wife and Sister. Capt. Foster with three others were saved by a Boat from the Shore." [Virginia Gazette, Apr. 24, 1752, p. 2]
After returning to Manassas, Mr. And Mrs. Rounds called on me at my hotel, interested to learn the results of the trip. At that time Mr. R. told me of two goblets and two or three other souvenirs from Ripon Lodge owned by Mr. J.B.T. Thornton, a lawyer of Manassas. I called at this residence, and Mrs. Thornton kindly showed me these interesting relics, purchased at the sale of the Blackburns, when they were leaving Ripon Lodge, by Mr. Thornton's ancestors. They had been handed down from generation to generation, as precious heirlooms because of their connection with the noted family and famous old place. They were very highly prized, and carefully packed away in cotton, or other soft substance, for safe keeping. The goblets were of heavy flint glass, and when held by the stem in one hand, and thumped with the finger-nail of the other, they would emit a musical ring like silver bells. Mr. Thornton was fond of ringing them for his friends, when proudly exhibiting them and the other similarly prized Ripon Lodge relics in his posession. On returning to the court house to resume work, and enquiring for Mr. Thornton, who was attending court, he was called in and introduced to me. I asked if, there was any consideration which would induce him to part with one of those goblets to a Blackburn descendant. He very courteously replied, "I could not sell one of them. I might possibly give one to you." And promising to talk with Mrs. Thornton about it, passed on to pressing duties. On his return from dinner, he entered the record office bearing the precious goblet, which he School House and Well courtesy Brendon Hanafin presented to me, and which I was exceedingly proud and happy to receive. If people who had no blood relationship with the Blackburns thus treasured articles associated with them and their home, how much more highly should we, connected by blood, prize this fine souvenir. At my first interview with Mr. Rounds, to whom I had been referred by the editor, as one well versed in historic matter, that gentleman had shown me an old surveyor's plat, (with a rat-eaten hole in one portion of it,) which he had found in the wall of an old mansion that he had bought and was restoring. On this plat were two tracts marked Richard Blackburn, one of [blank] acres, the other of [blank] acres; and another tract [blank] acres was marked William Baylis. As Blackburn and Baylis were evidently my ancestors, I asked if he would part with the paper. His reply was that "money could not buy it." At this time Mr. Rounds told me that the first pitched battle between the Army of the Potomac, under McDowell, and the army of Northern Virginia, under Beauregard, occurred Thursday, July 18th, at Blackburn's Ford, 3 ½ miles from Manassas, same distance from Centreville. McDowell's forces lay at Centreville, Beauregard's at Manassas. This Battle on Thursday was the opening fight of the first Bull Run Battle or preliminary to the main battle which occurred on Sunday. Mr. R. thought that the "Blackburn's Ford" above, "was named for Thomas Blackburn, who owned a large tract on the Fairfax side of Bull Run, an[d] had a daughter Sarah Jane." It seems more probable that the ford was named for Col. Richard Blackburn, who, as early as 1733-1735, had large tracts on both sides of Bull Run. Richard's son, Col. Thomas, was father of this Thomas who had a daughter Sarah Jane. One day, while in Manassas, working on records, I was introduced to one H. Ashton Ramsay, of Baltimore, who was also looking up the Blackburns. This gentleman informed me that, about 1735-1740, Richard Blackburn married Mary, daughter of Richard Watts, and widow of Col. Henry
- 5 - Prince William Reliquary Vol. 2, No. 1 (January 2003)
Ashton, of West Moreland County, Va. This Mr. Ramsay was a descendant of Co. Henry Ashton and Mary Watts, and was interested in the Blackburns because of this intermarriage with the widow Ashton. He referred me to a note in Haydon's work confirming his statement, also stating that Richard Watts was a relative of Dr. Watts, the hymnologist's, and that he, Richard, was one of the executors of Henry Ashton's will, dated 1730. In a letter from Mr. Ramsay, he states that "The Blackburns, Ashtons, Watts, and Fawkes all came from Stafford and Lancaster counties, England. There is a town in Lancaster county called Blackburn, and one called Ashton." Rev. Haydon has since sent me the following: "Col. Henry Ashton, b. July 30, 1671; m. (first) Elizabeth Hardidge; (second) Mary Watts, dau. of Richard Watts, Gent., by Mary his wife." Also "Richard Watts was a relative of Dr. Watts the hymnologist." Also, "Richard Watts was one of the executors of Henry Ashton's will, Cople Parish, Westmoreland County, Va., 1731. If Richard Blackburn was married only once, the foregoing facts give mr [me?] the names of our ancestress, Mary Watts, also her parents, Richard Watts and Mary his wife. I know from Prince William County, Va., records, Deed Book T. P. 184, that Richard's wife was Mary. The deed was one of assignment from Mary Blackburn, who assigns to her son, Thomas Blackburn, his heirs, etc. all her "title, claim and inheritance in and to the third part of the profits of the estate of Col. Richard Blackburn deceased, while under the management of Col. John Baylis deceased which has never been settled with me." The indenture, from which this quotation is made is dated Aptil [sic] 11th 1774, and is witnessed by Alex. Stephens and William Baylis. This William Baylis is without doubt my great grandfather, who married Elizabeth Turner in Fauquier County, Va., in 1780. William was son of John and Jane (Blackburn) Baylis. John Baylis, who "dedicated" the monument to Col. Richard Blackburn, was also his executor, as is proven by a bond on p. 27 of a very old Bond Book, among the records of Prince William County, Va. This bond, executed by John Baylis, William Eustace, and William Grant, gent., for "John Baylis gent., Executor of the Last Will and Testament of Richard Blackburn, gent., Deceased" is dated July 27, 1757, and the 31st year of "the reign of our Sovereign Lord George the Second." The amount of the bond is £6000 [?]. The fact, clearly indicated in the old records, that it was almost, if not quite a universal custom to name one's sons and sons-in-law as executors, strongly indicates that John Baylis was son-in-law of Richard Blackburn. But happily, we are not left to this slender evidence of his relationship. My Aunt Lucy Ann (Fawcett) Marshall had told me that the B. in her Mother's name was for Blackburn, and that somewhere in the family there were Blackburns, but she had forgotten where. This was my only clue till the deputy clerk of court at Manassas found the following deed for me: On pp. 145 to 147 of Deed Book W. [?], is recorded a deed, executed May 17th, 1785, by "William Baylis, Elizabeth his wife, Henry Baylis, Thompson Randolph, Aquilla Dyson, Lucy his wife, George Reno, and Jane his wife" conveying to John Chick 385 acres of land, "wheron the said Chick now lives, Including three parcels of Land in one Survey the said Lands was purchased by Richard Blackburn, gent., one piece from William Ridley the other two from Chas. Cornwell which Lands the sd. Blackburn Gave to his daughter, Jane Baylis.” Etc. In the description of the boundary, it appears that this tract of 385 acres lay along "the road that Leads to Dumfries," for a distance of 26 poles and that one of the lines crosses "the North Run of Quantico." -- This clearly proves a number of things: First, Richard Blackburn had a daughter Jane who married a Baylis. Second: Jane had two sons, William and Henry, and three daughters one, (Ann, deceased, as will more fully appear under the Baylis Family,) one married Thompson Randolph; another, Lucy, married Aquilla Dyson; the third Jane, (or Jean) married George Reno, - for these are her heirs deeding land Jane had inherited from her father, Richard Blackburn. In the Old Bond Book, referred to above. P.- On Oct. 9th, 1765, Fifth Year of King George III, Jane Baylis' gives bond as Executrix of the Last Will and Testament of John Baylis.- William Brent, James Nisbit, and Thomas Blackburn are her security in the sum of L 4000 current money of Virginia. This Thomas Blackburn is evidently James' brother; at least they are both children of Richard; whether they have the same mother is not
- 6 - Prince William Reliquary Vol. 2, No. 1 (January 2003)
absolutely certain, though I find no evidence that Richard was married more than once. The following exerpt from Pr. Wm. Co., Va., records is decisive: Deed Book W, p. 422:- Jan. 27th, 1787, Thomas Blackburn Esq. Deeds to William Carr a "tract or parcel of Land Lying and being on Quantico Creek, containing by Estimation two acres, "etc purchased by his father, Col. Richard Blackburn from "John Carr father of the said William Carr, in 1744." Thomas Blackburn warrants etc, against all claims of his heirs, etc., "also against the Dower of his "Lady, Mrs. Christian Blackburn." Etc. From Rev. Hayden I have the following items: Christian Scott, b. Mar. 4, 1745; d. - ; m. - Col. Thos. Blackburn, b. 1740 (?); d. Oct. 27, 1807. Will June 15, 1807, -Jan. 4, 1808; son of Richard Blackburn of Ripon, Yorkshire, (England, I suppose), and his wife, Mary Watts. Haydon gives the children of Thomas and wife as "Capt. Richard Sco[t?] B., Thomas B. (Jr.), Jullia Ann (who married Bushrod Washington) and Catherine, (who married Henry S. Turner.) He omits the Mrs. Crawford mentioned in Thomas' will. From Col. Richard Blackburn’s Epitaph it is shown that he was an “Inseparable Friend” of Hon. William Fairfax, who, with the “other Gents of Distinction,” followed him to the grave. This Hon. Wm. Fairfax was father-in-law to Lawrence Washington, original owner of Mt. Vernon, who, in 1743, built the first residence, (the middle portion of the present house.) Traditions of Pr. Wm. Co. at Manassas say that Richard Blackburn built it, (i.e., he was the mechanic, or master builder.) But I have not been able to obtain any records to confirm this tradition. It is altogether credible, however, as Richard is described as “Carpenter” in the deeds of these times, and, being a neighboring land owner, as well, is quite likely to have been employed by Washington in the construction. Lawrence Washington, by his Will, left Mt. Vernon to his younger half-brother, George. Young George must have been a frequent visitor at both Mt. Vernon and the house of Lawrence’s father-in- law, and, without doubt, often met Richard Blackburn, the “inseparable friend” of Fairfax. It was at the latter’s home, I believe, that young George Washington met Lord Fairfax, proprietor of the “Northern Neck of Va.,” the vast domain lying between the York and Potomac Rivers. Lord Fairfax employed young Washington as his surveyor, in which capacity he served for some time. The estate of Wm. Fairfax was about six miles to the southward from Mt. Vernon, or about half way between Mt. Vernon and Ripon Lodge, therefore a neighboring estate to that of the Blackburns. Col. Richard and Mary (Watts) Blackburn’s son Thomas, (i.e. Col. Thomas Blackburn Sr.) married Christian Scott, (dau. Of Rev. James Scott, according to Bishop Meade.) They had a daughter Annie, (Hayden gives her name Julia Ann,) who married Hon. Bushrod Washington, Assoicate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, and George Washington’s favorite nephew, to whom he left Mt. Vernon. This Mrs. Bushro[d] Washington had two nieces who married two nephews of her husband Bushrod. These nieces were daughters of her brother Capt. (or Major) Richard Scott Blackburn and his wife Judith Ball; their names, according to Haydon, were Jane Charlotte Blackburn, who married John Augustine Washington (son of Corbin and Hannah Lee Washington) and Anna Maria Thomasina Blackburn, who married Bushrod Corbin Washington, brother of John A., above. Thus two sisters married two brothers. Bishop Meade, in “Old Churches and Families of Va.” refers to these ladies as Mrs. Jane and “Polly” Washington. These three intermarriages of the Washingtons and Blackburns show conclusively the social position of the Blackburns. Meade confuses Richard Blackburn Sr. with his son Thomas, but confirms the above three intermarriages of the two families. He also says, “Old Mrs. Blackburn with her four grand-daughters, Jane, Polly, Christian, and Judy Blackburn, daughters of Mr. Richard Blackburn, were much at Mt. Vernon”- - - “Two of them, Jane and Polly, married nephews of Judge Washington and settled in Jefferson. One of them, Judy, married Mr. Gustavius Alexander,” (Hayden gives the name Gustavius Brown Alexander.) “A sister of these ladies, Miss Christian Blackburn,” died single, according to both Meade and Hayden. From Will Book I, of Pr. Wm. Co. Records I have the following exerpt: (P. 147) “Estate of Major Richard Scott Blackburn Deceased” in apc [a/c]. with Thomas Blackburn Jr. Administrator.”
- 7 - Prince William Reliquary Vol. 2, No. 1 (January 2003)
The apc [a/c] runs from March 2nd, 1805, to March 19th, 1806. Apc [a/c] presented to Court July 7th, 1806. Among credits or apc [a/c] are “Diff. on Baltimore from paymaster U.S. Army left by deceased $154.16.” Also “money due for rations and pay Rcd from acct. War Department Office $40.30,” etc. This Major B. is evidcently the Capt. B. of Hayden, and Thomas, his executor, is his brother. From Deed Book R. L. pp. 56 and 57, - I have the following: May 4th, 1835, Elizabeth Blackburn, Sarah Jane Blackburn, Richard Scott Blackburn, Elizabeth Sinclair Blackburn, and John Sinclair Blackburn deed to Robert Marshall a tract of land containing 285 acres "beginning near the mouth of a small branch called Fox branch, running south 68* [sic] West 82 poles"---" thence north 62* West 276 poles to Bull Run thence down said Run with the several meanderings thereof" etc. The plat of survey by William Kinchelow Nov. 12th, 1805 gives it as 267 acres, surveyed for Col. Thomas Blackburn. Robert Ratcliffe by a survey of same Feb. 1835 makes it 285 acres. The parties to this deed are evidently the heirs of Thomas Blackburn Jr., son of Col. Thomas Blackburn of Ripon Lodge. The first, Elizabeth, is without doubt, the widow of Thomas Jr., the other, Sarah Jane, etc., are the children. WILL BOOK I., P. 360, - has the following:- COL. THOMAS BLACKBURN'S WILL. In the name of God amen. I Thomas Blackburn son. Of Rippon Lodge in the County of Prince William ans [sic] state of Virginia being in perfect memory do make this my last will & Testament hereby revoling and annulling all former wills & Testaments. Imprimis, I bequeath to the children of my deceased son Richard Blackburn my tract of land whereon I reside commonly called Rippon Lodge together with all the lands which I own ajoining & contiguous to the same, to them the said children & their heirs, forever, subject to the payment of a debt which I owe Bushrod Washington Esq. (the same debt being contracted by me for and on account of my said son Richard,) And I further desire and bequeath that in case my said children do not pay the said debt together with all interest & costs that may hereafter accrue or arise on the same debt that in such case so much of the said tract of lands be sold by my Executors or Administrators as will be sufficient to discharge and pay the same debt Interest & Costs.

POLL TAX LISTS FOR PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, VIRGINIA MANASSAS DISTRICT (1940s)
Transcribed by Beverly R. Veness
Copies of the 1940's poll tax lists for Prince William County are kept in the manuscript holdings at RELIC. A photocopy of the lists has been made and bound. The bound copy (VA 975.5273 Pri) is currently on the “New Books” shelf in RELIC. The listings give the person's name with a record of which years of the previous three that taxes were paid; thus the list in 1944 includes the fees paid for 1941- 1944. The lists for the years 1944-1949 have been combined and provide a "census" of those who had paid their poll tax 1941-1949.

A CHINN / BEN LOMOND UPDATE
Robert Kuemmerling,1 who has done research on the Carter and Chinn families and their homes has sent us several additions and corrections to the article on “The Chinn Family of Ben Lomond,” by Dian McNaught (July 2002, p. 49-51). The following is edited from his submission. He reports that Cancer Plantation was located entirely in Prince William County, not on both sides of Bull Run. Benjamin Chinn did, however, inherit from his mother part of Leo Plantation that does span both sides of Bull Run. Governor Edmond Jennings Randolph (1753-1813) was not the husband of Edmonia (Carter) Chinn’s mother’s sister Elizabeth Carter, but the husband of her grandmother’s sister Elizabeth Carter Nicholas. The Carter genealogy is certainly very complex and confusing. Cousins often married cousins, names were often repeated. Not only was Edmondia Carter a cousin of her husband Benjamin T. Chinn, but her parents Courtney Norton and Landon Carter were also cousins, all descended from Robert “King” Carter (1663-1732).2 Kuemmerling states that Ben Lomond was built on land that was part of Leo Plantation and sees no reason for it to have been called “Cancer Farm.” Cancer Farm is shown on the William Brown 1901 map of Prince William County as a home of George C. Round. That map shows it in the vicinity of Manassas Park, south of Bull Run, west of Old Centreville Road, east of Flat Branch (and Ben Lomond), and north of Liberia Plantation. Benjamin Chinn’s brother-in-law Rev. Lovell Marders (died 1869) bought “Cancer” from Benjamin and Edmonia Chinn in 1841.3 That deed states that Chinn had bought it from Richard T. Mitchell in 1836. Kuemmerling says the Randolph estate named Ben Lomond, located in Goochland County, passed out of the Randolph family in 1806,4 which he thinks makes it unlikely for it to be the namesake of the house in Prince William, built about 23 years later. He prefers another farm for the name’s origin: Ben Lomond in Fauquier County, early home of Dr. Isaac and Judith (Carter) Henry. (Judith Henry, who was killed at First Manassas, was a first cousin of Edmonia Chinn’s father.) After 1818, the Fauquier home was owned by Gen. Walker Keith Armistead (1785-1845).5 Gen. Armistead’s brother, William Armistead married Edmonia Chinn’s aunt Anne Carey Norton.6 The two families revolved in the same social circles in the 1830s, about the same time that Prince William’s Ben Lomond was built. He points out that the Goose Run Tract, in Loudoun County, is wholly separate from Leo and Cancer Plantations, in Prince William. The article implies that George Carter was married to his wife Elizabeth Grayson at the time that “Oatlands” was built (1804). Kuemmerling reports that the couple were not married until 1836. The future bride was only eight years of age in 1804. Also, Oatlands Plantation had 3400 acres, not 1000 acres. McNaught’s article says George Carter “subdivided and sold most of the Bull Run tract to family members, including the property which is now the Manassas National Battlefield.” Kuemmerling says, “Not exactly. The 1000 acres, part of the Lower Bull Run Tract, were already subdivided into five lots when George Carter inherited them from his father. He sold the largest parcel to his sister Elizabeth Landon and her husband Spencer Mottram Ball after they had been living there for several years (Pohoke [later called “Portici”]) and another to Elizabeth Carter, the daughter of Landon Carter, Jr. of Pittsylvania.

Elizabeth’s property passed to her sister Judith and husband Dr. Isaac Henry and included land that is now the Visitor’s Center at the Manassas National Battlefield. The remaining parcels went to non-relatives.”7 Kuemmerling found the story of Robert Horner Tyler’s capture and parole fascinating. “I have been able to verify that Robert Tyler was, in fact, paroled with Gen. Rooney Lee.” He makes the following additions to McNaught’s account. “I found an interesting version of this incident at the Gunston Hall website (Robert Tyler was a distant relative of George Mason): …(He) “was taken prisoner while visiting at his brother-in-law's plantation "Mt. Airy". Robert Horner Tyler was riding over the plantation with Henry Tayloe when they saw a group of soldiers in the distance riding toward them and mistakenly thought they were Confederate soldiers. As they got closer they realized their mistake too late and Robert Horner was taken prisoner and taken to Governor's Island.” (This told to Dottie West by Edmonia Nicholas Tyler, [Robert H. Tyler’s] daughter). Mount Airy is located in Richmond County, not Essex County. The Federal officers chosen to be hung in a “lottery of death” were Captain (not General) Flinn and Capt. Sawyer. The Confederate officers who would be hung should that occur were Brig. Gen. Lee as well as a Capt. Winder.8 McNaught said “These two Union officers were under condemnation to be shot in retaliation as two of Mosby’s officers had been captured by Union troops and executed as guerillas.” Kuemmerling says the situation cannot be linked to Mosby or his men. He identifies the source of this citation as a quote from a letter to Robert Horner Tyler from Col. Edmund Berkeley, Capt. Tyler’s commanding officer. In Kuemmerling’s opinion, although the letter is a testimonial to Capt. Tyler’s character and bravery it “does not mesh with the known facts.” Also from the letter came the statement that “when he [Tyler] was taken prisoner he weighed 160 lbs.; when he was liberated he weighed 120 lbs, having lost one fourth of his weight.” In March of 1864…Jefferson Davis arranged for the release and exchange of the two Federal prisoners for Lee and Tyler. Kuemmerling expands on what happened: “In late February, 1864, it was agreed to exchange Gen. Lee and two captains for Captains Flinn and Sawyer and Brig. Gen. Neal Dow.9 As mentioned earlier, Capt. Winder was the Rebel captain chosen to insure the safety of the two Federal prisoners. But yet it was Capt. Tyler who was released at this time. What gives? The only source that I could find was Webb Garrison, but he was careful to document his information from the 127 volume “Official Records.” It seems that as early as October of 1863, Robert Tyler, for some unknown reason, claimed that he had been selected as a hostage for Sawyer and Flinn. After a month of investigation, Tyler was notified that he, in fact, was not so selected. There the matter rested until the time of the actual hostage exchange. Robert Tyler “suggested that since he had been held for Sawyer and Flinn, he should be chosen to take part in the exchange.”10 And he was successful, taking the place of Capt. Winder. It appears to me that, not only was Robert Horner Tyler brave, he was crazy like a fox!” Kuemmerling points out that much more could be written about Ben Lomond and the Chinns. Dr. E. A. Craighill described his experiences at the Pringle House (Ben Lomond) with the Stonewall Brigade11 and there is some connection to Dr. Hunter Holmes McGuire, Stonewall Jackson’s surgeon. Thomas Pringle, tenant at Ben Lomond, filed a claim for reparations after the War which contains much useful information. Benjamin Chinn’s life after the War is also waiting to be written. We invite our readers to contribute an article on one of these themes or the myriad others relating to Prince William history. Edited by Donald L. Wilson

FREEDMAN BANK RECORDS: An Index to Prince William County Records
Compiled by Beverly R. Veness A CD available in RELIC is the Freedman’s Bank Records produced by the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints (LDS). According to the CD’s introduction the Freedman’s Savings and Trust Company was established on March 3, 1865 for freed slaves and former African American military personnel. It operated from 1865-1874 and had 29 branches in different parts of the country. The records provide an excellent source of genealogical information. It also contains names of people who banked there and were not of color. The CD extracts the following information from the records: Bank location, Application Date, Age, Place raised, Height/complexion, Current residence, Military information, Works for, Occupation, Death notes, Plantation, Master, Mistress, Remarks, Film #, Notes as well as the names of Spouse, Children, Father and Mother and a place for Events. Not all fields have information and not all surnames are given. An interesting fact is up to 85% of former slaves did not take the surname of their master. In some cases, several different surnames were tried out before deciding which one they would keep. The original records have been microfilmed and are a part of the National Archives Microfilm Publication M816, Record Group 101. The following chart names those people who listed Prince William County (PWC), Virginia, in some context in their application. Surnames have been capitalized. I encourage you to view the CD at RELIC for further information (the CD is also available for purchase for $6.50 through the LDS website www.familysearch.org ) and/or look at the original records by viewing the National Archives film which is obtainable through RELIC or a Family History Center.

To Board of Supervisors of Prince William Co. Va.
We the under-sign tax payers of Prince William County petition your Board to have a public road oppence from what is known as Shepherds old School House to Pitkins Cross Roads a distance of 1 1/2 miles and which will run through the lands, and on the line of Edward Shepherd Est and L. B. Alexander and James Florence and James Russell, O. Comstock and the Methodist Church lot near Pitkins Corner. This Road will be a convenience as a outlet for a good many citizens of Dumfries District and will not cost the county but a small amount to open this road as there is and old road ----- all the way.
