Below is the official press release regarding the dedication of the Gloucester Hall historical highway marker. The release was sent to the Associated Press and many media outlets in the state and local area. To date, a total of $450 has been donated toward the cost of the marker by 10 contributors. Two of the contributors gave very generous donations of $100 each, comprising almost half of the total receipts. I am grateful to all the contributors for their generosity. For any who plan to attend the dedication, please send me an email giving me the names of those in your party with their city/state and cellphone numbers. By October 21, I will send a list of all attendees, with the above information, to those who will be at the dedication. A. J. Pate __________________________________________ Department of Historic Resources (www.dhr.virginia.gov) For Immediate Release October 10, 2012 Contact: Randy Jones Department of Historic Resources 540.578-3031 (cell) Randy.Jones@dhr.virginia.gov. State Historical Highway Marker “Gloucester Hall” To Be Dedicated —Marker commemorates the plantation where Gloucester Hall once stood, the first Virginia residence of Royal Governor Francis Howard, and where Nathaniel Bacon died in 1676 — —The marker’s text is reproduced below— RICHMOND – A state historical marker issued by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources to commemorate the now-vanished 17th-century manor house Gloucester Hall will be dedicated in Gloucester County later this month. The dedication and unveiling of the new “Gloucester Hall” marker will begin at 1 p.m., Friday, October 26, at the sign’s location near the intersection of US 17/Va. 14 (George Washington Memorial Highway) and Bacons Fort Road, about 7.5 miles northwest of the Town of Gloucester. Keynote remarks during the ceremony will be provided by Dr. Warren M. Billings, a visiting professor at the College of William & Mary, and a historian, author, and editor of several books on early colonial Virginia history including The Papers of Francis Howard, Baron Howard of Effingham, 1643-1695 and Virginia's Viceroy, Their Majesties' Governor General, Francis Howard, Baron Howard of Effingham. Others speakers will be David Brown and Thane Harpole, archaeologists and co-directors of The Fairfield Foundation; A. J. Pate, sponsor of the marker; the Rev. Theodore H. McConnell, interim rector of Ware Episcopal Church in Gloucester, and a representative of the Department of Historic Resources (DHR). Gloucester Hall was built around the 1660s by Col. John Pate on his 2,100-acre plantation, which he inherited in 1672. In 1676, Nathaniel Bacon, the leader of an uprising of colonial frontiersmen and planters against Native Americans and the colony’s authorities, which came to be known as Bacon’s Rebellion, died at Gloucester Hall of a fatal illness that “effectively ended” the rebellion, according to the marker. The house also served in 1684 “as the first Virginia residence of Royal Governor Francis Howard, baron Howard of Effingham, whose wife, Lady Philadelphia Pelham Howard, died there in 1685,” in the marker’s words. Virginia’s historical highway marker program, which began in 1927 with the installation of the first historical markers along U.S. Route 1, is considered the oldest such program in the nation. Currently there are more than 2,200 official state markers, most maintained by the Virginia Department of Transportation, as well as by local partners in jurisdictions outside of VDOT’s authority. Text of the marker: Gloucester Hall Near here stood Gloucester Hall (built ca. 1660s), where Bacon’s Rebellion effectively ended with the fatal illness of its leader, Nathaniel Bacon, in 1676. In 1684, this house served as the first Virginia residence of Royal Governor Francis Howard, baron Howard of Effingham, whose wife, Lady Philadelphia Pelham Howard, died there in 1685. Col. John Pate, a member of the Council of State, built the house on his 2,100-acre plantation, including 1,141 acres that his uncle Richard Pate had patented in 1650. Col. Thomas Pate inherited the plantation in 1672. Both Richard Pate and Col. Thomas Pate represented Gloucester County in the House of Burgesses. ###

Pate, Edith Caroline Bader 105 Jan. 12, 1907 Sept. 12, 2012 Edith, Edie, Dee Dee, or Nana. Great-great-grandmother, sister, aunt, mentor, or friend - Edith Pate was all of these things and more to many people. She lived life to its fullest with uncompromising independence and self-sufficiency. Her unmatched spirit, energy and genuine love of life positively influenced those who met her, and her quick wit, charm and fireball energy put a smile on their faces. We are so fortunate to have known this amazing person. Born in Chicago, Edith moved to Portland as a young girl and enjoyed growing up on the Alameda Ridge and Oak Street, across from Laurelhurst Park. A graduate of the University of Oregon and a lifelong Pi Phi, Edith worked her whole life and demonstrated a work ethic that is a model to all. Her passion was sewing and she was an unmatched seamstress. She sewed and knitted to the absolute very end ... and could still thread a needle faster than anyone. As an incredible entrepreneur, her wine bags and children's aprons are in shops all around Portland and Cannon Beach. She had an incredible memory, and her stories of her life and the family history could be recalled in vivid and crisp detail. Generations of family would listen in wonder as she shared details of makes of automobiles, family pets and an array of anecdotes. While she was proud of her family heritage and role as matriarch, she lived in the present and drew happiness from her extended family, especially the young children. She loved young children, and her eyes sparkled in their presence. She was fiercely independent and loved conducting her business and managing her own affairs. She drove until she was 103 and continued her activities via family, friends and outside support. She had an unquenchable thirst for books and enjoyed book club, the Oriental Art Society and keeping abreast of current events. She read the paper each day and faithfully watched local, national and OPB news in the morning and evening. Edith worshiped at St. James Lutheran Church and found peace and strength from its members. She was proud of her family's stained glass windows and how those windows symbolized being a tangible part of the church's legacy. She was spry in her Pendleton suits and always looked sharp and dignified. For her 99th birthday she enjoyed buying her first pair of blue jeans and getting her ears pierced, thanks to her much-loved nieces. She was at ease having dinner at the captain's table while on her many cruises and enjoyed a good burger at Tebos or the Buffalo Gap. She loved getting out and about and especially cherished the close friendships and support of her wonderful neighbors. Oh, how she loved her family. She enjoyed a wonderful life with her husband, Manford, and she took joy in her daughter, Nance, and her grandchildren, Heather, Kevin (and wife, Jana), and Brian (and wife, Erin). Edith was so proud of and looked forward to each visit with the Baders, Hughes, Langes, Mills and Reicherts. And her family looked forward to Edith's birthday celebration weekend and crab feed at the Oregon Coast. They were joyous and festive times where Edith helped all understand the importance of caring for each other. Edith left an indelible mark on so many people. She lived her life to the fullest and positively impacted many family, friends and strangers. And while her physical presence may be gone, her love of life, spirit and energy remain in all of those she touched. She lived as she most desired and passed away as she had hoped; awash in the love of family and friends, comfortably, peacefully, elegantly and with dignity. And for that, we should all be thankful and perhaps even smile. She was fortunate ... and so are those who knew her. Join her celebration of life at 10 a.m. Friday, Oct. 5, 2012 at St. James Lutheran Church, 1315 SE Park Ave. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. James Lutheran Church Published in The Oregonian on September 23, 2012 Widow of Manford Russell Pate 1901-1993 -- PATE DNA PROJECT http://www.familytreedna.com/public/pate-dna-project Sharing Our Past, Our Present and Our Future PATE LIST SERVE Pate@RootsWeb.com A free E-Mail Forum for PATE Researchers
