The house is at the cast s.ic'le of a 0.5 mile private lane. The architectural evolution of Belvoir illustrates the development of an early Maryland manor-type house of the late seventeenth century into a mid-eighteenth-century house. The early section with its unsophisticated stonework, and probable wooden chimney, was incorporated into an early Georgian garnbrel­ roof. This, in turn, was raised, expanded and remodeled into a mid-Georgian structure. The brick-block, as it stands (1970), is an example· of mid-eighteenth-century Maryland architecture; meanwhile the whole house shows constructional changes and m growth and reflects the stylistic changes imposed by its successive owners. m Belvoir, high above t~e Severn River, is a two-story z house built in the shape of a "squat T." The shank of the "T" is the earlier part and is a steep gambrel-roof structure, built of fieldstone with a Flemish bond brick end-wall and -i exterior chimney, Both brick-end and fieldstone have a slightl} ;;a projecting water table. The four windows in the end wall have c: segmental brick arches. There are two peaked dormers on each n side of the roof. The main portion of the house is all brick and incorporates that part of the earlier section which extends -i into the top of the "T". The bonding on the first story is English, while it is Flemish above the belt course. The second story has been added. The brickwork also shows that the south z section was added after the central portion; this is pointed to by the chimneys in each portion of the brick part. The older one is chunkier and more massive and at one time was partially an exterior chimney. The entrance porch is similar to that at Gunston Hall, Lorton, Virginia, with its English Baroque pediment with four columns and four pilasters. Resting on a c. 1920 base, the porch CTay be of that vintage. In 1920 a wooden, gambrel-roof wing was added at the west end. The cellar ceiling has been lowered and there are early fieldstone foundations. The interior radiates from an almost square central hall­ way which runs the width of the brick section whjqh is actually part of earlier house. The staircase ascends the south wall, turning back at a landing at the level of the middle of the entrance hall window thus making it a probably later addition. There is a room on either side of the entrance hall. Each is the width of the house and the room to the south is in the older section. (see continuation sheet) ~----- AA-183 [8.

The army was en route to join George Washington in Yorktown, Virginia, for the final campaign of the American Revolution. Francis Scott Key, the author of "The Star-Spangled Banner," visited Belvoir in 1789, while a student at St. John's z College, Annapolis. Belvoir was the home of his great-grand­ father, John Ross (c. 1695-1766), Clerk of the Governor ls w Council. w Ann Arnold Ross Key, grandmother of Francis Scott Key, and his aunt, Elizabeth Ross Key Maynadier, are buried in the graveyard at Belvoir. The Maryland Chapter of the Colonial Dames have preserved these tombstones. John Ross (c .. 1695-1766) was the Clerk of the Governor's Council from 1729 until 1764, Deputy Agent for the Sixth Lord Baltimore, and an alderman for the city of Annapolis. In 1732 Richard Le\·.;ris, a Maryland schoolmaster, composed a poem which consoled .John Ross for the loss of Governor Benedict Leonard Calvert. In the mid 1730 1.s John Ross began buying large tracts of land surrounding the gambrel-roof 1690 house (in 1970 it is a wing of Belvoir). That portion forms the shank of the 1970 "T" shaped structure. Ross' principal land purchases for 1735 to 1736 included tracts patented during 1662-1663 to Nicholas Wyatt ( -1673), a 1649 emigrant from Virginia and a prom- inent Anne Arundel County Quaker.

  • Northern Virginia in the War of 1812 by SHERMAN W PRATT
    Northern Virginia in the War of 1812 BY SHERMAN w PRATT Almost all Americans, by the time they pass through high school, know that in the War of 1812 the British entered and burned Washington, the National Capital. War with Great Britain had been declared on June 18, 1812. Most of the early confrontations with the British were not very con­ clusive and were concentrated on or around the Great Lakes or involved isolated clashes at sea between naval ships of the two countries. With Brit­ ish victories over their French adversary in Europe in 1813 and early 1814, especially in the Peninsula campaign, sizeable British land and sea forces were then available for use against the Americans in the New World, where­ upon they changed the emphasis of their military operations in America from mainly sea and Great Lakes efforts to joint sea/land operations. In August of 1814 British naval forces in America under the command of Rear Admiral Sir George Cockburn were joined by a fleet under the com­ mand of Vice Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane with several thousand troops under the command of General Robert Ross. The combined forces, under the overall command of Admiral Cochrane, were assembled in the Chesa­ peake Bay by August 15th. 1 The British flotilla sailed up the Patuxent River to the town of Benedict, Maryland, about thirty miles southeast of Washington, which was as far upriver as the larger ships could go. Smaller draft vessels sailed further up the river in pursuit of Joshua Barney, newly bestowed with the rank of commodore, with his barge-gunboats that were blockaded by the arrival of the British.

  • John Ball's Deed
    John Ball's Deed 6 A RLI NGTON H ISTORICAL M AGAZINE John Ball and the Northern Neck Proprietary BY WILLARD WEBB Everyone in Arlington should be familiar with the Ball-Sellers house in Glencarlyn. That rare surviving 18th Century cabin stands on land that John Ball received from Lord Thomas Fairfax, the proprietor of the Northern Neck Proprietary, in 17 42. In return for an annual quitrent, * John Ball received 166 acres of land. (For John Ball's patent, see Appendix 1.) With certain enumer­ ated exceptions, Ball and his heirs acquired the land with "all rights, profits & benefits to the same belonging." John Ball and his patent raise a number of questions. What was the Northern Neck Proprietary? How did it originate? How did it operate? To whom, where, and how did John Ball pay his annual quitrent? The Northern N eek Proprietary dates back to 1649. The English Civil war had ended and Charles I had been executed. His young heir, who styled himself Charles II, though he had neither crown nor kingdom, had fled to France with a band of supporters and followers. There, in St. Germayne en Lay on September 18, 1649, Charles issued a patent to seven of his loyal supporters for a vast tract of land in the colony of Virginia. The recipients included Ralph Lord Hopton, Baron of Stratton; Henry Lord Jermyn, Baron of St. Edmunds Bury; John Lord Culpeper, Baron of Thoresway; Thomas Culpeper, Esquire (the Culpepers were cousins); Sir John Barkeley; Sir William Norton; and Sir Dudley Wyatt. That patent, two large stained parchment sheets with the crumbling remains of the original seal, survives today in the British Library in London.
