Article in the _http://www.starexponent.com/_ (http://www.starexponent.com/) By DELLA EDRINGTON Friday, August 26, 2005 (http://ads.mgnetwork.com/RealMedia/ads/click_nx.ads/starexponent.com/[email protected]?x) The Battle of Brandy Station was the Civil War's largest cavalry engagement. In the early hours of June 9, 1863, 10,000 Union troops silently crossed the Rappahannock River. At the same time, the army of Gen. Robert E. Lee was secretly moving north toward Gettysburg. About 9,500 Confederate cavalry, under the command of General J.E.B. Stuart, were in Culpeper County protecting these forces. Cavalry met cavalry in four major engagements. The battle raged all day from Beverly and Kelly's Fords, to the decisive contest for Fleetwood Hill. By nightfall, the Confederates had paid a heavy price for a narrow triumph. A driving tour and battlefield guide for the battlefield is available at the Graffiti House in Brandy Station for $7. Guided tours are available by request. The Graffiti House was named for the numerous writings and drawings on the walls of the house that date back to the Civil War. Built in 1858, the house was used as a field hospital following the massive cavalry battle at Brandy Station. Wounded Confederate soldiers wrote their names and drew pictures on the walls of the house using charcoal from the central fireplace. During the Winter Encampment of 1863-64, when the Army of the Potomac occupied Culpeper County, Union soldiers took their turn inscribing the walls of the building. Learn about the history of Culpeper County during the Civil War with a visit to the Graffiti House. After the war, paint, wallpaper and wood paneling covered the artwork. For 130 years the graffiti laid protected and concealed until it was discovered in the 1990s. In 2002, the Brandy Station Foundation purchased the Graffiti House and now operates it as a memorial to all Civil War soldiers. The Graffiti House is open to the public for free. It's main season runs from April through October and the house is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Friday Saturday and Sunday. Winter season (November through March) 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Wednesday and Saturday. The Graffiti House is located in the village of Brandy Station at 19484 Brandy Road. From Culpeper, go five miles north on U.S. 29. Turn right on Alanthus Road and left onto Brandy Road. Drive into the dead end; do not cross over the railroad tracks.

PART ONE Half brother, fully enslaved Descendants gathering this weekend to honor a past full of triumph, suffering among siblings Story by Allison Brophy Champion, Research assistance by Zann Miner Culpeper Star-Exponent Saturday, July 22, 2006 A three-part series examining the history of a family of slave owners and slaves in rural Stevensburg. STEVENSBURG - The story of Blucher Wellington Hansbrough and Charles Nalle is an antebellum account of master and slave. It is also an intriguing tale of two brothers - one white, the other not quite black - who shared a father. Blucher, a wealthy farmer in 19th-century Culpeper, would eventually own his half brother Charles, a mulatto born to a mulatto mother. But Charles would risk all for freedom after four decades in bondage - freedom from slavery and freedom to raise his own family. At a time when it was not unusual for slave owners to have relations with their female slaves, their lives and bloodlines became very much intertwined. In fact, Blucher would father eight children with his slave Lucinda Wormley, who was also very light-skinned. Not all masters were overtly cruel, however: History, to an extent, portrays Blucher as a kind man. Still, one can only imagine the circumstances surrounding slave women bearing the children of their masters. Noted Culpeper historian Clark “Bud” Hall supposed Blucher was kind because he could afford to be, but that he was also very much in charge. As for the slave, he or she had no rights. “Make no mistake about it, there was a master-slave relationship and the slave had no say in his condition,” Hall said. “If you view someone as your property, it’s your property to do with as you please.” Kind or not, Charles escaped from Cole’s Hill - Blucher’s vast plantation - in 1858, fleeing to Washington, D.C., and eventually making his way north to New York. But his master, who never had a talent for finances, would attempt to bring his brother back to Culpeper and back into slavery a year-and-a-half later. It would take former slave Harriet Tubman, the famous Underground Railroad conductor, and a band of abolitionists to win, and later purchase, Charles’s freedom once and for all. In the intervening time, life continued for both men with one tie that bound them - the importance, above all else, of family. Generations of family descended from Blucher and Charles will gather this weekend in Culpeper to celebrate and commemorate a rich history overflowing with triumph and inevitably, suffering. “Everybody wants to look back and see where they came from,” said descendant Eugene Triplett, 53, of Brandy Station. “One of the things I found interesting is how intertwined we all are.” Pharmacist and owner of the Wilderness Pharmacy in Locust Grove, Triplett recently walked the grounds of Cole’s Hill. He also got a look at genealogy from the white side of the family. “It said Blucher had three children,” said Triplett, who is black. “Well, history failed to tell that Blucher had a whole lot more children than just three. Being mixed is not something that just happened on its own, and history failed to realize it.” The story is an early piece of the history of these United States. _Intertwined_ (http://www.starexponent.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=CSE/MGArticle/CSE_MGArticle&c=MGArticle&cid=1149189314887) In 1812, Peter purchased the Cole's Hill estate, an almost 1,000-acre plantation located near the tiny farming village of Stevensburg, about five miles east of the town of Culpeper. _MORE >>_ (http://www.starexponent.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=CSE/MGArticle/CSE_MGArticle&c=MGArticle&cid=1149189314887) _White blood_ (http://www.starexponent.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=CSE/MGArticle/CSE_MGArticle&c=MGArticle&cid=1149189314899) Various newspaper accounts from 1860 - when Harriet Tubman helped Charles, a fugitive slave, to freedom in Troy, N.Y. - refer to Blucher as his brother.

Peter, born 1769, spent his early life in King George County, according to a family genealogy published in 1981 by John W. Hansborough. Peter was “a large investor in real estate,” the genealogy says, who moved to Culpeper County in his 20s. In 1812, Peter purchased the Cole’s Hill estate, an almost 1,000-acre plantation located near the tiny farming village of Stevensburg, about five miles east of the town of Culpeper. Peter of Cole's Hill, as he was known, possessed an immense landed estate and always traveled in a coach and four with out riders, the genealogy says. Up to the day of his death, he wore knee britches and a powdered wig. He was known as a veritable grandee. Peter was also known to have fathered children with a slave woman, Lucy. One of those children was Charles. In 1824, George S. Thom sold Lucy and her four children to Peter Hansbrough for $875, according to Culpeper County court records. The deed book described her “a yellow woman about 30 years old. Blucher would have been the half brother of Charles Nalle, said family historian Anna Davis, a retired teacher with the Philadelphia Public School System and resident of Valley Forge, Pa. And I would be the great-great-great granddaughter of Peter Hansbrough. She said this belief is based on a combination of oral history passed down by white and black family members, historical information and census records. There are really emotional and psychological implications there, added Davis, especially when one considers that Blucher rallied a lynch mob for the return of his slave, his half brother. Blucher was really hell-bent on getting him back.

Seem to have been members of Bristol Parish in the 1700s; an Abner TYE family lived in Dinwiddie Co. 1810 & Halifax in 1820.

I have a 1775 Culpeper County deed for my ancestor Benjamin Davis of Bromfield Parish. I'd like to know more about the roads and people mentioned in the deed. The description is: In the fork of the Robinson and Rapid Ann (Rapidan) Rivers On the "ROAD that led from the mountains to CAVES FORD on the Rapid Ann River" Bounded by Thomas TERRY, John SIMPSON, Thomas SAMPSON, and John FORRESTER On KIRTLEY's ROAD Purchased 1775 from William WALKER and wife Anne Sold 1790 by Benjamin DAVIS & wife Mary (possibly BUSH) to Joel GRAVES. (I think the land was near Graves Mill which had a sawmill nearby--Benjamin was a carpenter.). In addition to the names above, does anyone have other ancestors who lived in this area? Thanks for your help. -- Joan

Hi List Peter Hansbrough Read your post and curious as to whom this Peter goes back to. Thanks Jim

Anne, I agree with you that it is not a very common name. However I have found one Mary Tye and I just received an email from a lady in California who had a Job Tye, Samuel tye and Thomas Tye brothers who were in Virginia but by 1820 had moved to Oglethorpe Co., GA. I even thought that maybe my Sarah was a Tye by a first marriage as she was about 28 years old when she married my Peter Hansbrough. I just have ran into a brick wall with Sarah Tye Hansbrough.
