John Craig’s List of Baptisms6 OBJECTIVE: This survey of key published resources for eighteenth-century Augusta County seeks evidence to better identify the Mills and Watts families who settled Southwest Virginia and (eventually) assemble them into family groups. BACKGROUND: Targeted research in several areas of Virginia and North Carolina has yielded several Millses of particular interest with proved or alleged ties to Augusta: Cluster 1: Goochland > Albemarle > Amherst WILLIAM MILLS & WIFE MARY appear in Goochland County as early as 1729. As a resident of Goochland County, William requested land on Pedlar River, a branch of James River. In 1745, the tract he chose was cut away into the new county of Albemarle (later Amherst); it lay just across the Blue Ridge from the Forks of the James River land of a John Mills who is said to have lived contemporaneously in Augusta. William and Mary’s daughter Sarah married Thomas Watts of adjacent Lunenburg > Bedford about 1748.

  • 'O'er Mountains and Rivers': Community and Commerce
    MCCARTNEY, SARAH ELLEN, Ph.D. ‘O’er Mountains and Rivers’: Community and Commerce in the Greenbrier Valley in the Late Eighteenth Century. (2018) Directed by Dr. Greg O’Brien. 464 pp. In the eighteenth-century Greenbrier River Valley of present-day West Virginia, identity was based on a connection to “place” and the shared experiences of settlement, commerce, and warfare as settlers embraced an identity as Greenbrier residents, Virginians, and Americans. In this dissertation, I consider the Greenbrier Valley as an early American place participating in and experiencing events and practices that took place throughout the American colonies and the Atlantic World, while simultaneously becoming a discrete community and place where these experiences formed a unique Greenbrier identity. My project is the first study of the Greenbrier Valley to situate the region temporally within the revolutionary era and geographically within the Atlantic World. For many decades Greenbrier Valley communities were at the western edge of Virginia’s backcountry settlements in what was often an “ambiguous zone” of European control and settlers moved in and out of the region with the ebb and flow of frontier violence. Settlers arriving in the region came by way of the Shenandoah Valley where they traveled along the Great Wagon Road before crossing into the Greenbrier region through the mountain passes and rivers cutting across the Allegheny Mountains. Without a courthouse or church, which were the typical elements of community in eighteenth- century Virginia society, until after the American Revolution, Greenbrier settlers forged the bonds of their community through other avenues, including the shared hardships of the settlement experience.

Dr. 0. A. Kinsolv- ing and his third wife was born toward the close of the nineteenth century and baptized in St. John's, Halifax, Virginia. Roberta Gary, the first-born child of this marriage, died at the' early age of eight. Gary was a gentle, lovely, fascinating child, like her mother in charm and amiability. She was the only daughter ever bora to her father. Long after her death I found Longfellow's "Res ignation" tenderly copied in his own hand, and upon his desk. She was the second daughter of her mother to leave this world for Paradise. Jane Gorbin died when seven, at beautiful Moss Neck in Garoline; Gary at eight, in the imposing brick rectory at St. John's, Halifax. Wythe, the son, studied Latin at nine, Greek at ten, French and German when twelve or thirteen. He was ready for college at seven teen, after spending four years at the Episcopal High School. In two vears he earned a monitorship on merit, and was ultimately the Head" Monitor of the Episcopal High School.
