DC 20K)3 National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Halwyck 7 1 Radford, Virginia Section number page Summary Description Halwyck, a large, brick, two-story dwelling, is located on a vooded bluff-top lot overlooking bottomland along the New River in the city of Radford, Virginia. The ornate building includes materials and details characteristic of the Queen Anne architectural style. Two noncontributing buildings, a frame garage and a concrete block dwelling, stand on the tract to the southeast. Narrative Halwyck is a brick, two-story, central-passage, T-plan dwelling with a hipped roof, an inset central cast iron porch, and a much-altered rear wing. The three-bay principal facade of the house faces northeast and downhill on a steeply sloping hillside. The sloping site results in the basement being fully underground on the rear (southwest) and fully above ground on the northeast, so that it gives the impression of a three-story house on the front. The front and side walls are detailed with brick quoins incorporating quarter-round molded bricks at the corners. The slate roof, topped by ornamental cast iron cresting, rests on a cornice built up from several deeply cut moldings and a delicate dentil course. The same cornice is employed on the original bay windows and the one-story elements on the southwest facade. The one-over-one, double-hung sash windows incorporate wooden sills and molded wooden cornices. Original louvered blinds, visible in historic photographs, are missing.' The northeast or front facade is the most carefully detailed. The central bay on each of the three floors contains a door with sidelights and transoms. The partially inset, central entry bay on all three floors is provided with a door with transom and sidelights and is protected by a three-story, cast-iron porch. The delicate ironwork incorporates Renaissance tendril forms in both the frieze and railing. The section of the house to the west of the porch projects beyond the main body of the facade. The central entry is inset under the main roof. To each side of the central bay are identical stacked window elements. The basement level features triple one-over-one double-hung sash windows. Above these on the first floor level are two polygonal bay windows with National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Halwyck Radford,Virginia Sectkn number 7 page 2 panelled sides supported on scrolled brackets. The brick wing walls flanking each bay window rise into the second floor with wooden shingles placed on either side of paired, one-over-one, double-hung sash windows.

  • History and Facts on Virginia
    History and Facts on Virginia Capitol Building, Richmond 3 HISTORY AND FACTS ON VIRGINIA In 1607, the first permanent English settlement in America was established at Jamestown. The Jamestown colonists also established the first representative legislature in America in 1619. Virginia became a colony in 1624 and entered the union on June 25, 1788, the tenth state to do so. Virginia was named for Queen Elizabeth I of England, the “Virgin Queen” and is also known as the “Old Dominion.” King Charles II of England gave it this name in appreciation of Virginia’s loyalty to the crown during the English Civil War of the mid-1600s. Virginia is designated as a Commonwealth, along with Kentucky, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. In 1779, the capital was relocated from Williamsburg to Richmond. The cornerstone for the Virginia Capitol Building was laid on August 18, 1785, and the building was completed in 1792. Modeled after the Maison Carrée at Nîmes, France, the Capitol was the first public building in the United States to be built using the Classical Revival style of architecture. Thomas Jefferson designed the central section of the Capitol, including its most outstanding feature: the interior dome, which is undetectable from the exterior. The wings were added in 1906 to house the Senate and House of Delegates. In 2007, in time to receive the Queen of England during the celebration of the 400th anniversary of the Jamestown Settlement, the Capitol underwent an extensive restoration, renovation and expansion, including the addition of a state of the art Visitor’s Center that will ensure that it remains a working capitol well into the 21st Century.

THE FAMILY OF HOGE A GENEALOGY COMPILED BY JAMES HOGE TYLER EDITED AND PUBLISHED BY JAMES FULTON HOGE MCMXXVII JOS. J. STONE & CO., PRINTERS, GREENSBORO. N. C. '' PEOPLE WILL NOT LOOK FORWABD TO POSTERITY WHO NEVER LOOK ANCESTORS.,, -Burke. PREFACE On an annual pilgrimage to the hills of Virginia-. my ancestral mecca, where for me the character and accomplish­ ments of my forbears are identified with the land - I saw a copy of a manuscript written by the late James Hoge Tyler, former governor of Virginia. It was a family history or genealogy. Governor Tyler had devoted a goodly portion of years to bringing the data together and making of it_ a con­ tinuous record, but had never, although intended, put it in form to permit distribution among all members of the family. I obtained the manuscript and had it copied. It seemed to me that the value of the work should be measured by its ser­ vice and that, lest the labor be lost, it should be made avail­ able to the many hundreds of the family scattered afar. -- With the encouragement of my Virginia relations wliose hospitality I was then enjoying I set about publishing the manuscript in form for general distribution.

  • African American State Volunteers in the New South: Race, Masculinity & the Militia in Georgia, Texas and Virginia, 1871–
    AFRICAN AMERICAN STATE VOLUNTEERS IN THE NEW SOUTH: RACE, MASCULINITY & THE MILITIA IN GEORGIA, TEXAS AND VIRGINIA, 1871–1906 A Dissertation by JOHN PATRICK BLAIR Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Joseph G. Dawson, III Committee Members, R. J. Q. Adams Carlos K. Blanton Charles E. Brooks James S. Burk Head of Department, David Vaught August 2016 Major Subject: History Copyright 2016 John Patrick Blair ABSTRACT The continued presence of armed, uniformed black militia companies throughout the southern United States from 1871 to 1906 illustrates one of the highest achievements of African Americans in this period. Granted, following emancipation the nation’s newest citizens established churches, entered the political arena, created educational and business opportunities and even formed labor organizations, but the formation and existence of these militia organizations with their inherent ability to enter into violent confrontation with the society that surrounded them coupled with the heightened status and prestige they obtained as citizen soldiers firmly defines the pinnacle of achievement. Through a comparative examination of their experiences and activities as members in the state volunteer military organizations of Georgia, Texas and Virginia, this study seeks to expand our understanding of racial accommodation and relationships during this period. The existence of racial accommodation in society, however minor, towards the African American military is confirmed not only in the actions of state government and military officials to arm, equip and train these black troops, but also in the acceptance of clearly visible and authorized military activities by these very same troops.

We forced page breaks so that the critical words would appear on the correct page when a search was done (based on the index). Since this is not based on images the PDF we created from this is searchable. We have made the changes, indicated in Emma Dicken’s Errata sheet, in this copy. Note there there are some inconsistences in numbering, in some of the lists of children, that we did not correct. iii iv Dedicated to the memory of Richmond Terrell who settled In New Kent County in 1656. v vi F o r e w o r d In preparation of this book we have tried to gather and piece together the fragmentary records of the ancient and honorable family of Terrell. Many items have been published in different genealogical magazines, which have been helpful, and we have made a personal search of such records as exist in state archives and county records. A few books have been published on the Terrell family history, but it would take many books to properly record all the descendants of William and Susannah Terrell scattered all over the United States. Some have not responded to our requests for family records, while others have been very kind to send what they could. To those who have given assistance we are grateful.
