Hi Everyone~ I found something that I thought cute to share….Wanted everyone to get the right idea on what is said with this expression “gossip” or “gossop”……. It was recorded in a family Bible. Each  children’s name was listed along with their birth date and a dash following was the word "Gossop" listed along with several adult names. These adults were  sponsors.   Webster’s Dictionary of 1886 defines a gossip:  “A sponsor; one who answers for a child in baptism”. Another new term for some of us.  LOL!!!

I was asked if I heard?whether the? book "250th Anniversary History of Fauquier County" had been started/written/ or still in the works. The article written on ?April 20, 2004 by Tara Laskowski? will explain to those of you who are not aware. [See below]?? I?received the following email from Tara today and I am passing it on for those of you who asked and are interested. June ===================================================================== Hi June, I haven't heard much about this project since I wrote that story. I do know it is still being worked on, but I don't have any details about when it will be made public. If I do hear anything, I will let you know. Thanks, Tara Laskowski Public Relations Manager Media Relations George Mason University Phone: 703-993-8815 Fax: 703-993-8784 [email protected] ====================================================================== April 20, 2004 By Tara Laskowski?????????????? [email protected] Fauquier County recently commissioned The Department of History and Art History to compile information for its semiquincentennial--a task that may be as difficult as the word is to pronounce. Working with the county's Historical Society and other community organizations, the department will publish a book with photographs, text, and captions highlighting the history of Fauquier County in celebration of its 250th anniversary in 2009. The book will include information on certain key events in the county's history, including Native American history, the inheritance of the land by Thomas, Sixth Lord Fairfax in 1719, the development of the first small communities, the naming of the county, the military action during the Civil War, and challenges faced by the county in the 20th and 21st centuries. Professors Jane Turner and Peter Henriques, the historical consultants for the project, as well as alumna Kathi Ann Brown, (MA '88), author of the project, will gather photographs, maps, newspapers, engravings, prints, and other documents. "We're extremely excited about this project. It's a chance for us to work with historically knowledgeable people in Fauquier and make a contribution to our region," says Jack Censer, chair of the Department of History and Art History. "We hope this outreach will be a first in our effort to assist local institutions and organizations involved in public history." Funding for the project is from public and private donors to the Fauquier County Historical Society ________________________________________________________________________ More new features than ever.

It was not as frequent, but women were also appointed by the court for younger minors or chosen by a minor fourteen years or older to be a Guardian. The Guardian was required to periodically give an accounting of the inherited estate to the court for audit. If the Guardian failed to properly handle the estate a new Guardian would be selected. Here are a few examples of female Guardians for the 1830 time period from "Fauquier Co Guardian Bonds 1759-1871" by Gott. HARRIOTT N. UTTERBACK, apptd. gdn. of Maria Louisa Utterback, orph. of Willis Utterback, dec'd. 28 Dec. 1829. MARY HITT, chosen gdn. of Elizabeth Ann Hitt, orph. of Martin Hitt, dec'd. 31 March 1831. JANE L.

Stan, it's not that the children wouldn't be permitted to live with their mother - they would, but a male guardian was usually appointed to look after the children's financial and educational interests.

I have a photo album that belonged to Florrie Jennings (1868 - 1956) of White Post, Va. and I'm looking for some help identifying the people in the photos and their relationship to Florrie. Florrie was the daughter of Robert B. Jennings of Fauquier Cty. and Alice E. Stewart of Luray. Robert and Alice were married in 1865 in Page Cty. They moved to St. Louis, Mo. and had daughters, Lettie, Florrie and Irene, and son William. By 1910, Florrie was boarding with the Skinkers and the Kennerlys in White Post, Va. She never married. Some names on the photos: Mrs. J. H. Chambliss, Carrie May Chambliss, Robert Frazer, Holdridge Chichester, Georgie Green, Ada Gresham, Anna V. Barley, Nettie Stewart Borst (Florrie's aunt), and James E. Stewart (Florrie's grandfather). Some of the photos were taken by Faber of Warrenton. I have scanned and posted the photos on Snapfish; if you would like the link to view them, contact me at [email protected] Thank you for any help you can give me! -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
