THE 1901 MAP OF PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, VIRGINIA AND ITS MAKERS: WILLIAM H. BROWN AND WILLIAM N. BROWN By the RELIC Staff The Brown Map of 1901 is very important for Prince William County historical research. It was the first detailed map of the area produced since the Civil War. It shows the home locations and names of people who were living in rural areas of the county and also identifies roads, streams, schools, mills and churches. It has two inset maps of the battlefields of Manassas and the dividing line between Hamilton and Dettingen parishes. There are also tables of property valuations and population. This map, printed in several colors, states it was made by William H. Brown, of Gainesville, Virginia. RELIC owns a monochromatic version of the map, which may be the original master.

  • "The Pleasure of Their Number". 1778: Crisis, Conscription, and Revolutionary Soldiers' Recollections (A Prelimina
    “The pleasure of their number” 1778: Crisis, Conscription, and Revolutionary Soldiers’ Recollections (A Preliminary Study) John U. Rees Part I. “Filling the Regiments by drafts from the Militia.” The 1778 Recruiting Acts ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “There is only one thing, I should have been happy the Committee had thought proper to take up on a larger scale. I mean the supply of Men by Draught … The Mode by Draught is, I am persuaded the only efficacious one to obtain men …” Gen. George Washington to a Congressional Committee, 25 May 1780 1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eugene C. Murdock in his book One Million Men claimed that the “Civil War draft [1863-1865] broke new ground. There had never been a draft before because troop needs had never been so great before. In the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, and the Mexican War … state militiamen and volunteers had always been sufficient.” Mr. Murdock was mistaken, and while he did write thirty-five years ago, there seems to have been nothing written during that time to correct his claim. In addition, the 1778 draft is ignored or given short shrift in studies of Valley Forge and the ensuing campaigns.2 Revolutionary American military forces drafted men throughout that conflict. At the most elementary level, state militias divided their men into classes of from fifteen to twenty men, then called out (drafted) one or several of a county’s classes for service ranging from weeks to months. Having served the allotted time the men returned to their homes. Similarly, Continental regiments were often augmented with state militia drafts, usually each county class providing a volunteer, draft, or substitute in place of a drafted man.

  • Draft Report on Bellmawr in the American Revolution Garry
    American Revolution in Bellmawr Draft Report on Bellmawr in the American Revolution Garry Wheeler Stone During the American Revolution, the area that is now Bellmawr was part of Gloucestertown Township, Gloucester County, New Jersey.1 The township was located along the Delaware River between the south or “King’s Run” branch of Newton Creek and Big Timber Creek. Beaver Brook was its eastern boundary. Included in the township were the remnants of the 17th- century settlement of Gloucestertown. They included the County courthouse, a ferry landing, William Hugg’s tavern, the sheriff’s farm, and a few dwellings and small farms. The south boundary was Big Timber Creek; the north boundary was the south branch (or “King’s Run”) of Newton Creek. The men of the township reported to Captain William Harrison, commander of the Gloucestertown Township militia company. Harrison owned 514 acres straddling Little Timber Creek, land that included a grist mill. His property extended from the King’s Highway south across the creek and across the “Irish Road,” now Browning Road. Elsewhere he owned three, 35-acre “tenements,”—rental properties. At least one, the “Malt House” property, was in Gloucestertown. Garry Wheeler Stone Although did not become part of a war zone until October 1777, the war with Great Britain had begun effecting New Jerseyans much earlier. In May 1775, a rebel “Provincial Congress” had taken control of the colony’s government, conscripted all able-bodied males into the militia, and 11 Camden County was separated from Gloucester County in 1844. 1 American Revolution in Bellmawr imposed war taxes.

  • SAR Patriot Ancestors' Biographies
    SAR Patriot Ancestors’ Biographies James Holt (P-335595) abt 1760 - abt 1830 Private Soldier in the 4th Virginia Regiment during the American War for Independence My 4th Great Granddaddy, James Holt was the son of Plunket Holt (P-334792) of Prince Edward and Charlotte Counties in Virginia. As noted above, he is believed to have been born around 1760 in Charlotte County (Campbell County after it was founded in 1782), to have spent most of his life there and finally to have died there sometime after 1830. The records show that had married a young lady by the name of Ellen. Very little is known of Ellen other than that she was the mother of two sons, Coleman and James F. and seven daughters, Sarah, Frances, Elizabeth, Nancy, Polly, Susanna and Martha. Ellen passed sometime prior to 11 Aug 1829, which is the marriage date of James’s second wife, Elizabeth Fielder. As noted in the patriot archives James’s father was a patriot and supporter of the American Revo- lution by his patriotic support of feeding and supplying the troops during the war time period. His son James chose to enlist in the 4th Virginia Regiment which was originally organized in February 1776 at Suffolk Courthouse from ten Virginia Counties including Prince Edward County (Plunket Holt’s birthplace) and the adjacent Charlotte County (James Holt’s birthplace). Charlotte County, it would seem, is the most likely point of enlistment for James in the 1776-1777 time frame, as he would have been approximately 18 years of age. James and his regiment are shown in various rosters of the 1777 encampment at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.
