Cavaliers & Pioneers: Abstracts of Virginia Land Patents & Grants, 1623-66 (Genealogy) by: Nell Marion Nugent ISBN: 9780806302645 (0-8063-0264-X)0 Book Title: Cavaliers & Pioneers: Abstracts of Virginia Land Patents & Grants, Volume 1 - 1623-1666 Author: Nell Marion Nugent Binding: Hard Cover Copyright: 2004 Pages: 767 Size: 5.75 x 8.75 x 1.75 in. This is one of the most outstanding records of early emigrants to Virginia. It records, under the name of the patentee or grantee, the earliest Virginia land grants and patents from 1623 to 1666, giving the number of acres, locations and dates of settlement, and names of family members, and it further provides references to marriages, wills, and other legal instruments. It also has the names of some thousands who were transported or brought over by the early settlers as "headrights." The index contains the names of about 20,000 persons. For anyone whose research takes them into seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century Virginia, Nell Marion Nugent's three-volume Cavaliers and Pioneers is an indispensable source. These abstracts of the records of the colonial land office cover the years from 1623 to 1666 (Volume 1), from 1666 to 1695 (Volume 2), and from 1695 to 1732 (Volume 3). Dennis Ray Hudgins, in collaboration with The Virginia Genealogical Society, has edited additional volumes under the same title which brings the series to 1774 and the end of the forty-two volume colonial patent book series. The abstract of each patent gives, in order, the name of the patentee, the number of acres in the patent, the county in which the land was situated at the time the patent was issued, the date of the patent, the book and page of recordation, a description of the location of the land, and, if applicable, the names of the persons on the basis of whose transportation the patent was due. Any additional information contained within the patent is also abstracted. The index includes all proper personal names as well as geographical designations. Patents issued for land in the Northern Neck, or Fairfax, Proprietary are not included in this series of records.

It was literally a remnant of the officers and soldiers of the Revolution. Of this colony no praise of the historian can be as competent or as strong as the language of Washington. He says, in answer to inquiries addressed to him: "No colony in America was ever settled under such favorable auspices as that which has just commenced at the Muskingum. . . . . This colony, left alone for a time, made its own government, and nailed its laws to a tree in the village; an early indication of that law-abiding and peaceful spirit which has since made Ohio a just and well ordered community. The subsequent settlements on the Miami and Scioto were made by citizens of New Jersey and Virginia, and it is certainly remarkable that among the early immigration there were no ignorant people. In the language of Washington, they came with "information" — qualified to promote the welfare of the community. Soon after the settlement on the Muskingum and the Miami, the great wave of migration flowed on the plains and valleys of Ohio and Kentucky. Kentucky had been settled earlier, but the main body of immigrants in subsequent years went into Ohio, influenced partly by the ordinance of 1787 St. Johns .

It was composed of ten companies, many of which began as prewar volunteer militias. The volunteers were from Alexandria, Fairfax, Fauquier, Loudoun, Prince William, and Warren Counties.The core of these volunteers were four companies organized on February 18, 1861 as a volunteer militia battalion. The Mount Vernon Guard, Alexandria Riflemen, Old Dominion Rifles, and the Alexandria Artillery were attached to the 175th Regiment (Alexandria County), Virginia Militia. On April 2, the General Assembly passed an act authorizing a battalion be raised in the city of Alexandria with three companies of infantry and one of artillery. On April 4, Captain Montgomery Dent Corse, of the Old Dominion Rifles was unanimously elected to command the battalion as a Major. The oldest company, the Mount Vernon Guard, was organized on June 21, 1842, but always observed July 4 as their anniversary. The first time they probably appeared in uniform was in October 1842 when the passed in review before President Tyler. The Alexandria Riflemen were organized on March 10, 1856. Originally choosing the name "Alexandria Sharp Shooters", they quickly reconvened their meeting when some realized how the initials would look painted on the back of their knapsacks. The change of name to "Alexandria Riflemen" was unanimous. They were organized, with the Mount Vernon Guard, into a volunteer battalion under the command of Major Turner Wade Ashby. Ashby had been a lieutenant in Capt. Corse's company during the Mexican War. The Old Dominion Rifles was organized on December 6, 1860. Organization was complete by January 7, 1861 with the election of Corse as captain and Arthur Herbert as lieutenant. The Alexandria Artillery was formed in 1850 as the Mechanical Artillery. The new name was adopted in 1856. The battalion went on active duty soon after the Ordinance of Secession was passed on May 23. Two companies of Irish citizens of Alexandria were added to the battalion on April 25, 1861--an artillery company, the Irish Volunteers, and a light infantry company, the Emmett Guards. Two Fairfax County cavalry companies joined the battalion, as well--the Chesterfield Troop and the Fairfax Cavalry, known also as the Washington Home Guard.

It was named for James Madison, co- author of the Federalist Papers, and fourth President of the United States, from 1809 to 1817. Madison County is divided into 14 Civil Townships as follows: Adams, Anderson, Boone, Duck Creek, Fall Creek, Green, Jackson, Lafayette, Monroe, Pipe Creek, Richland, Stoney Creek, Union and Van Buren. Anderson wasn't always the County Seat. Pendleton was the first County Seat. Selected 1823, it was too far from the center of the county to be satisfactory ... there is also some question as to whether or not it was ever "declared" the County Seat or if it was just the location where judicial business was enacted. According to the act of January 13, 1826, the County Seat was relocated to a town called Bedford; some sources do not list it in describing the a transition of the County Seat from Pendleton to Andersontown. Andersontown was the third County Seat. The rapid growth of Andersontown, a town much nearer the center of the county, caused the citizens of the county to apply to the Legislature for an act to relocate the County Seat and the change was then made as the result of the act of January 4, 1827 and the actual site appears to have been chosen in 1828. By the legislative act of December 6, 1848, Andersontown became simply Anderson. Anderson was an old Indian town named after Anderson, a Delaware chief, who formerly resided there. In 1813 it was burnt by a detachment of troops from Kentucky, then on an exploring tour. In 1849 Anderson had a Courthouse, Jail, fireproof public offices, a County Seminary and a population of about 300. The Courthouse, with most of the records, was destroyed by fire on December 10, 1880. The replacement was ready for occupancy February 21, 1885. Pendleton was the site of the first hanging of a white man for killing an Indian.

The electronic books produced a good reproduction, but requires enlarging to 150-200% when viewing. They are indexed and searchable. And, to sweeten the deal, I have added a third book "Illinois Counties - Their Origin and Evolution". Tremendous aid in understanding the development of counties over time, and knowing the correct locations to search for your ancestor records. (Example - I have relatives that moved to SW VA late 1700's. They never moved again, but due to changes they resided in five different counties.) Randolph County was organized in 1795 out of a part of St. Clair County. It was named in honor of Edmund Randolph, Governor of Virginia. The Northwest Territory was captured from the British near the end of the Revolutionary War by the army of Virginia. Illinois then became, for a brief time, Illinois County, Virginia. Randolph County is located on the Mississippi River in southwestern Illinois. Its county seat is Chester. Owing to its role in the state's history, the county motto is "Where Illinois Began." Monroe County was formed in 1816 out of Randolph and St. Clair Counties, as the 8th county created from the then Illinois Territory. It was named in honor of James Monroe, who had just served as United States Secretary of War and who was elected President later that same year. Its first county seat was Harrisonville named for William Henry Harrison, former governor of the Northwest Territory and future President Waterloo assumed the mantle of county seat in 1825. The site of the old town of Harrisonville has since been submerged by the Mississippi River, Monroe County is part of the St. Louis Metro Area. Jackson County was organized in 1816, having been carved out of Randolph County. It was named for Andrew Jackson, who had just defeated the British at the Battle of New Orleans . As early as 1813, Conrad Will (namesake of Will County) conducted a large salt extraction operation, using slave labor, on the banks of the Big Muddy River, south of Murphysboro. As this area was in the "free" Northwest Territory, Will had to have legal exemptions to possess slaves. Perry County was formed in 1827 out of Jackson and Randolph Counties. It was named in honor of Oliver Hazard Perry who defeated the British fleet at the decisive Battle of Lake Erie in the War of 1812. Parts of Perry County were formerly included in Randolph, St. Clair and Jackson counties. "Combined History" Book Contents: COUNTY HISTORY. CHAPTER I. A Brief Sketch of the North- West Territory.

"The evidence here presented shows that the State is well supplied with a great variety of mineral resources, many of which are being rapidly developed. There is probably no state in the Union of the same area as Virginia that can show a greater diversity in geologic resources. This most important fact taken in connection with the mildness of the climate, which permits of a long season of outdoor work, and the cheapness of labor, are conducive to a very extensive mining industry. "The total value of production of the mineral resources of Virginia for the year 1906 has been estimated at $30,000,000. At the July (1906) meeting of the Virginia Jamestown Exposition Commission, it was agreed that a handbook illustrative of the vast mineral resources of Virginia was a necessity. The writer was accordingly authorized to prepare a handbook setting forth, as completely as our present knowledge permitted, the vast and varied mineral resources of the State. He was further authorized to devote several months in the field to a study of the mineral resources in those portions of the State where information was most needed for the purpose of collecting the necessary data for this volume. " The work has proved far more exacting than was at first contemplated, in that the widely scattered literature on the geology of Virginia had to be overhauled in the preparation of the volume."

A roving band of Indians discovered them, and considering them trespassers on their hunting grounds, attacked them. One of Kenton's companions was killed in the attack. After making their escape, Simon Kenton and his remaining companion decided to leave the county for good. In 1773, Colonel Thomas Bullitt and several others explored the Kanawha Valley to survey the land in anticipation of being granted large tracts of the land in return for their military service. In 1774, Walter Kelly, of North Carolina, attempted the first, permanent settlement in the county. He built a cabin along a stream, known as Kelly's Creek, about 20 miles north of the current location of Charleston. He was killed by Indians later that year. It is likely that Mary Ingles and Betty Draper were the first English women to pass through present-day Kanawha County. Indians captured them at Draper Meadows, Virginia (now Blacksburg) on July 8, 1755. They were taken through the county as they made their way to Shawnee Village at Chillicothe, Ohio. Mary Ingles' escape four months later and her return through the wilderness to Virginia was an inspiration to all pioneers on the frontier. Daniel Boone (1734-1820), the famous frontiersmen and founder of Kentucky, resided with his family in Kanawha County for seven years (1788-1795), in a two-room log cabin in the Kanawha City section of Charleston. He was appointed a Lieutenant Colonel in the Kanawha County militia and served under the command of Colonel George Clendenin. He and Colonel Clendenin represented Kanawha County in the General Assembly in 1791. Contents: Chapter I. Organization of the county Chapter II. Counties formed from Kanawha Chapter III.
