Bathory Vidaver 6 2012: Year in Review At the beginning of 2012, CCHA set a goal of publishing the long‐overdue Volume XXVIII of Proceedings, with the hope of returning to regular annual publication. Here is that volume – filled with excellent, well‐researched, and useful articles. Much as the first volume of Proceedings, published in 1941, continues to be of use to researchers today, this volume is a lasting contribution to the preservation of the history of Clarke county, one that will continue to be of use far into the future. 2012 also saw other goals of the Association achieved through the combined ef‐ forts of our dedicated members, directors, staff, and others. A successful capital cam‐ paign raised funds that enabled long overdue work on the Burwell‐Morgan Mill, includ‐ ing the installation of much‐needed gutters and repair work on the windows. Our ar‐ chives and artifact collections grew by leaps and bounds with the accession of a fantas‐ tic collection of Civil War and Paleo‐Indian artifacts collected by Brother James of Holy Cross Abbey as well as over 200 other items. Doug Bartley and Maral Kalbian collabo‐ rated on an excellent exhibition, The Barns of Clarke County. Our annual Art at the Mill shows drew record numbers both in the spring and in the fall, and along with the sec‐ ond annual celebration of Heritage day, introduced hundreds of new visitors to the Mill. CCHA now looks forward to new opportunities. In the coming year, we plan not only to see the publication of Volume XXIX of Proceedings, but also to renew a portion of our excellent museum space to enable changing exhibitions. We hope, too, to ex‐ pand educational programming and offer new opportunities to engage others in pre‐ serving and learning about our shared history. As we have done with this volume of Proceedings, we hope to renew our dedication to our mission and to continue to make lasting contributions to the stewardship of Clarke County’s significant historical re‐ sources. Join us as we work toward these goals in 2013. There are many ways you can support CCHA : donate, volunteer, visit the museum and the Mill, or consider submit‐ ting work for a future volume of Proceedings.

    Charles University in Prague Faculty of Social Sciences Institute of International Studies Department of American Studies The Aspirations and Ascent of George Washington in the Context of His Times: From His Early Years to the End of the Revolutionary War Doctor of Philosophy Dissertation Author: Mgr. Stanislav Sýkora Supervisor: Prof. PhDr. Svatava Raková, CSc. Year: 2012 ABSTRACT George Washington’s relatively obscure beginnings did not preclude him from admiring and acquainting himself with chivalrous role models and genteel guidelines. Longing for recognition, Washington sought opportunities to serve his influential patrons to merit their further approbation. The dissertation sets Washington’s aspirations in the context of honor-based sociocultural milieu of his day and thus provides the reader with an insight into the conventional aspects of his ascent to the upper echelons of the colonial society of Virginia. At the time of the Revolution, Washington’s military reputation, leadership, and admirable character earned him a unanimous election to the chief command of the American armies. The complexity of Washington’s venture of accepting, exercising, and ultimately resigning the supreme military powers in relation to his reputation and sense of patriotic duty is thoroughly analyzed. Key words: George Washington, convention, ascent, ambition, patriotism, virtue iii I declare that I have worked on this dissertation independently, using the sources listed in the bibliography. …………………………………… Author’s signature iv CONTENTS Introduction 1 Chapter One: The Early Influences 11 Chapter Two: “Honour and Glory” 42 Chapter Three: The Gentleman of Mount Vernon 113 Chapter Four: “It Surely Is the Duty of Every Man Who Has Abilities to Serve His Country” 123 Chapter Five: “My Plan Is to Secure a Good Deal of Land” 168 Chapter Six: “Certain I Am No Person in Virginia Takes More Pains to Make Their Tobo Fine than I Do” 184 Chapter Seven: “George Washington, Esq.

  • Bailey's of Berkeley County
    BAILEY'S OF BERKELEY COUNTY Bailey Family History August 1,2006 Forrest Dean Bailey Davis, California pa„e 2 Bailey's of Berkeley County Berkeley County was one of the first settled areas of the State of West Virginia. Many Quakers and Scotch-Irish Presbyterians, along with English and Dutch, became residents in the early 1700's. They were followed by Germans who built many of the still existing farm complexes. The County has a wealth of historic, architecturally important buildings dating from the 1740's into the 20th century. Many of these buildings, including several districts and villages, have been researched and placed on the National Register of Historic Places, Berkeley County was formed from Frederick County, Virginia, in 1772 and named for Lord Norbome Berkeley. The County seat was established in the colonial village of Martinsburg, named for Thomas Bryan Martin, Lord Fairfax's nephew, and was incorporated in 1778. The arrival of the B&O Rail­ road in the 1840's provided Martinsburg and Berkeley County a substantial im­ provement in transportation and acted as an economic generator for the area. During the Civil War (or War Between the States), Martinsburg and Berkeley County, still a part of Virginia, experienced conflict and much destruction. Many families had divided allegiances. In June 1861 Stonewall Jackson destroyed the railroad cars at the Martinsburg B&O Railroad complex and commandeered the engines, dragging them through Winchester to Strasburg. The roundhouse and machine shops were completely stripped. The first major conflict in the area occurred on July 2, 1861, when the North's General Robert Patterson crossed the Potomac River at Williamsport and defeat­ ed the South's General Joseph E.

  • 1 the Life and Death of John Counts of Page and Russell Counties
    The life and death of John Counts of Page and Russell Counties, Virginia By Sharon Lemkuil, November 2018 This account is based on the few facts that have been gathered in the last 290 years regarding the man now commonly known as “John Counts of Glade Hollow”. This name with the descriptor was given to him by his descendant Elihu Jasper Sutherland who researched and wrote a biographical sketch of “John Counts of Glade Hollow” which is contained in the book, “Some Descendants of John Counts of Glade Hollow”, Appendix A. Sutherland used this name because it is the first version of the name he found in the 09 Feb 1764 civil suit of John Counts against John Stacey, as well as the name used in the Last Will and Testament of John Counts who signed by mark on 03 Apr 1802 in Russell County, Virginia, a county formed on 02 Jan 1786 from Washington County, Virginia. The Will was presented to Court and proved by the oath of John Hargis on 27 Apr 1803, and further proved on 26 Jul 1803 by the oath of Duritee Counts. Sutherland used “of Glade Hollow” to distinguish the father from his son John Counts “of Cleveland”, the locations in which they resided in Russell County, Virginia. Sutherland’s sketch remains as an excellent source of factual information on our ancestor. As Glade Hollow in Russell County, Virginia is the final location in which “John Counts of Glade Hollow” lived, died, and was buried, this identifier has become not only his commonly used name, but the surname Counts is used by many of his descendants down through the generations.

One who was born in the Shenandoah Valley, who has dwelt there during the greater portion of hislife to the present, ‘ and who is by blood three-fourths German or German—Swiss, may doubtless be excused for writing aboutthe German Ele- ment in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. He may also be excused, perhaps, for regarding such a subject as naturally attractive, and for believing that it is well worthy of careful investigation. As a matter of fact, the field has proved most /7 fruitful: so much so that the writer has been surprised at the abundance and wealth of material that may be secured for historical, economical, sociological, political, religious, linguis- tic, and even literary studies. He hastens to say, however, for the reassurance of the reader, that he has not attempted to follow out all these lines of investigation in the present treatise: what he has attempted is merely a plain, unvarnished picture of the people in their homes, in their churches, in their schools, in their fields and workshops, and in the larger re- lations of church and state as affected by peace and war.
