  • Huguenot Emigration to VIRGINIA and to the SETTLEMENT at MANAKIN-TOWN
    DOCUMENTS, CHIEFLY UNPUBLISHED, RELATING TO THE Huguenot Emigration TO VIRGINIA AND TO THE SETTLEMENT AT MANAKIN-TOWN, WITH AN APPENDIX OF GENEALOGIES, PRESENTING DATA OF THE FONTAINE, MAURY, DUPUY, TRABUE, MARYE, CHASTAIN, COCKE, AND OTHER FAMILIES, EDITED AND COMPILED FOR THE Virginia Historical Society BY R. A. BROCK, Correspondi11g Suretary and Lil>raria11 of t/,e Society. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. PUBLISHED BY THE SOCIETY. MDCCCLXXXVI. \YM. ELLIS JONES, PRINTER, RICHMOND, VA. INTRODUCTION. ' The history of the religious persecution of the Huguenots in France, from the massacre of St. Bartholomew to the infamous outrages which preceded and followed the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, is so familiar, through frequent graphic narra­ tive, that any attempt at repetition here would be quite unneces­ sary, were the means to be employed adequate. But recently this topic has been ably considered, and a comprehensive narra­ tive of the establishment of the fugitive Protestants in the New World presented as well. a An unpretentious assembling of scattered data relating to the Huguenot settlement in Virginia, and of families of the lineage, happily to serve as material in abler .hands in the future, may only be essayed by the present editor. Desultory Walloon emigration to Virginia early in the seven­ teenth century is indicated by names of record in the State Land Registry; and the Walloons of Leyden, planninJt to fol­ low the exan1ple of their Puritan neighbors, the Pilgrim Fathers of New England, presented, July 21, 1621, to Sir Dudley Carle- • ton, the British Ambassador at the Hague, a petition signed by fifty-six heads of families, Walloon and French, all of the Reformed Religion, who desired to come to Virginia.

  • James Maury, Son of Mathew Maury and Mary Ann, His Wife, Was Born April 8, 1717
    SOME PROMINENT •whose birth is not put down. In the Eev. James Maury's Bible we find the following entries: "James Maury, son of Mathew Maury and Mary Ann, his wife, was born April 8, 1717. (0. S. April 19/ 1717.) "Mary Maury, daughter -of James Walker and Ann, his wife, was born Noveniber 22, 1721. "My dear Mollie and I were married November 11, 1743." These two extracts settle the vexed question of Mrs. James Maury's parentage. Her husband's uncle, Rev. Peter Fontaine, says: "Col. Walker, chief person in the Ohio scheme, is her uncle, and the family record in her Bible, written by her husband, says her father was James Walker." The inference is that Col. Walker had a brother James who was Mrs. Maury's father, although his Is birth is not recorded in the Walker Bible. Family record of Eev. James Maury and Mary, nee Walker, copied by J. S. B. Davison from his Bible: "James Maury, son of Mathew Maury and Mary Ann, his wife, was born April 8, 1717. (0. S. April 19, 1717.) Died June 9, 1760. "Mary Maury, daughter of James Walker and Ann, his wife, •was born Nov. 22, 1724 and departed this life March 20, 1798. "Leonard James Walker, son of James Walker and Anne, his I wife, was born 1720 in November; died May, 1733. - "My dear Molly and I were married November 11, 1743. 1.

  • Matthew Fontaine Maury. Read at the Regular Monthly Meeting of the Mary
    BANCROFT LIBRARY THE LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Matthew Fontaine Maury -By Elizabeth Buford Phillips Matthew Fontaine Maury BY Elizabeth Buford Phillips Historian Mary Mildred Sullivan Chapter United Daughters of the Confederacy New York City at the Read Regular Monthly Meeting of the Chapter, April 4, 1921 Matthew Fontaine Maury Hydrographer, Christian Philosopher, Exile [HERE is no hour within the life of Maury which stands out with more symbolic grandeur, none more pregnant in brief recital of his deeds and character, none of more permanent significance than the one here chosen as the Prologue of this chronicle. We are indebted, for the preservation of these details, to the Diary of Maury's daughter, Mrs. James R. Werth, who, as guest of the Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge University, was present when the 4'5 Honorary Degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred upon her father. It was in the early summer of 1868 that this degree was there conferred upon four notable men : Thomas Wright, English An- tiquarian and Translator of Egyptian Hieroglyphics for the Brit- ish Museum; Max Muller, German Orientalist and Oxford Pro- fessor of Sanskrit Literature; Alfred Tennyson, Poet Laureate of England's Victorian era, and Matthew Fontaine Maury, Amer- ican Author, Scientist, and Exile. In scholastic cap, and gown of crimson cloth, these diversely gifted men might have sat as modern models for an immortal canvas! Civilization, Genius, and Religion, in noble majesty, seemed there enthroned in that centuries-old University in Cam- bridge, the City of Refuge, in England, the Asylum of the Exile ! Four wise men from out of the West here brought their gifts and were here to receive from this great University the seal of her approval.

  • Thomas Jefferson to James Maury, April 25, 1812, from the Works of Thomas Jefferson in Twelve Volumes
    Library of Congress Thomas Jefferson to James Maury, April 25, 1812, from The Works of Thomas Jefferson in Twelve Volumes. Federal Edition. Collected and Edited by Paul Leicester Ford. TO JAMES MAURY J. MSS. Monticello, April 25, 1812. My dear and ancient Friend and Classmate, —Often has my heart smote me for delaying acknowledgments to you, receiving, as I do, such frequent proofs of your kind recollection in the transmission of papers to me. But instead of acting on the good old maxim of not putting off to to-morrow what we can do to-day, we are too apt to reverse it, and not to do to-day what we can put off to to-morrow. But this duty can be no longer put off. To- day we are at peace; to-morrow, war. The curtain of separation is drawing between us, and probably will not be withdrawn till one, if not both of us, will be at rest with our fathers. Let me now, then, while I may, renew to you the declarations of my warm attachment, which in no period of life has ever been weakened, and seems to become stronger as the remaining objects of our youthful affections are fewer. Our two countries are to be at war, but not you and I. And why should our two countries be at war, when by peace we can be so much more useful to one another? Surely the world will acquit our government from having sought it. Never before has there been an instance of a nation's bearing so much as we have borne.
