Reprinted by JARMAN'S, iNCOIEI'dltATKD from the 1SS7 Edition for THE GREEN BOOKMAN Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1887, by WYNDHAM ROBERTSON In the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. PREFACE. I offer to the narrow circle it may interest, as well as I have been able to restore it, the Tree of Pocahontas and Rolf e, as it has grown from them as its root to its seventh season (inclu­ sive) of fruitage. I accompany it with illustrative sketches of some of its notable products, within my reach, in order to relieve the blankness of it, by revealing something of its in­ ward succulence as well as its outward form. I have conden­ sed them as much as in my view consisted with my object, knowing how insignificant the whole matter is amid the great surges of the world it is thrown upon. The notice of Poca­ hontas is exceptionally long for reasons apparent on the face of it, involving, as it does, incidentally, the vindication of Captain Smith against the unfriendly strictures of some mod­ ern critics, and which all lovers of justice will thank me for introducing.

  • Webner 1 the Importance of Cemeteries and Their Connections to a Community a Case Study in Local History for Chesterfield County
    Webner 1 The Importance of Cemeteries and Their Connections to a Community A Case Study in Local History for Chesterfield County, Virginia By Teresa Webner, 2010 In Virginia, recently developed rural areas will probably have within their boundaries several small family cemeteries. This is the case in southeastern Chesterfield County. Cemeteries here are found in the middle of new housing developments built on former estates. Houses built in the nineteenth century were often the victims of fires, leaving cemeteries as the only remaining artifacts of an area’s first settlers. It is here, with these gravestones’ chiseled inscriptions, where we can find not only the names of the buried people, but also names that may correspond with nearby street names, housing developments, or even strip malls. The monikers chosen for streets or other municipal or commercial properties are not chosen at random. The names are chosen to connect the present with the past. Cemeteries are useful in connecting a community to its past. Graveyards are seen as endpoints in life; however, for making connections from present to past, they can serve as starting points. Beginning with tombstone sizes and inscriptions, one can discern who was prominent in a community. By starting with the name on a family cemetery’s grandest stone, one is led on a journey into the past as that inscribed name appears and reappears in connection with other historical events and important people. These farm cemeteries and the historical inquiry they inspire resemble a spirelli, a type Webner 2 of string art, leading us from one historical event to another, showing how connected we all are.

  • Robert Smith Family
    (Rev. Anthony Garnett Smith, 1776-1852) THE ROBERT SMITH FAMILY of Cumberland County, Virginia and Oglethorpe County, Georgia compiled by Robert Lee Smith 170 Holloway Road, Florahome, FL 32140-3205 2013 1st Cooke-Smith Family Reunion, Cumberland County, Virginia, 23 August 2014 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I wish to acknowledge the past and present family genealogists that have contributed so many of the records that I have so immensely benefitted from. To list all is impossible because some I don’t know, such as the author of the “ALLEN FAMILY REGISTER” (who might have been DAR member Alline Smith). However, I can record those I know and to whom I am most grateful: Robert Hugh White; Sidney D. Smith; Anthony Joseph Smith; Derrell Heath; Thomas W. Smith; James Marshall Richardson; Jane Phillips Nixon; James Cooke; Walter A. Walker (Hightower-Andrews); Susie Colquitt; and Stephen Robert Renouf (Stevens-Powledge information via Ralph Phillip and Joyce Smith). A special and heartfelt appreciation is due Bradford Willis (“OLD WACO”) for his tireless “Find-A-Grave” crusade—Thanks, Brad! But no genealogical work can be error-free due to time and generational distances, thus an old legend may not be verifiable, and conclusions logically drawn from documents may be wrong (such as the “William and Robert Smith” error). But we have greater access to historical information than ever before and, therefore,“old” people/place/time data should be reviewed and corrected as deemed necessary. Otherwise, such errors accepted as fact generate greater errors. And bearing witness to such circumstance, that we descended from “William and Robert Smith” has been thus perpetuated from Robert Hugh White’s pioneering work.
