    1. [VAGLOUCE-L] Gloucester men who sailed on the "Glenmore" to CA for the Gold Rush
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Yeatman, Clarke, Tabb, Field, Claiborne, Taliaferro, Mumford, Scott Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/hAC.2ACE/1178 Message Board Post: Looking for info on the men & ship "Glenmore", who sailed in 1849 to California. Info, I have gathered thus far: In 1849,the following young men from Gloucester set out for California to the gold fields, Charles Yeatman (brother-in-law of Josiah Lilly Deans II of "Rosewell"), James Clarke of "Warner Hall", Thomas Tabb of Toddsbury and John Field. It appears that they belonged to the Madison Mining and Trading Company along with several stockholders that bought and manned the ship "Glenmore". In Dr. James H. Claiborne's diary it is noted that the "Glenmore's" crew consisted of twenty-four and that the Madison Mining and Trading Company consisted of seventy-five members. He also mentions Dr. Alfred Taliaferro, Col. John D. Mumford, and Charles L. Scott as members. The "Glenmore" on April 1, 1849 was towed by the steamer "Old Dominion" from City Point on the James River to Newport News, VA. On April 3, 1849 the "Glenmore" was escorted by the pilot boat "Antwerp" ten miles beyond the VA Capes. >From Dr. Claiborne's diary and Anna Maria Dandridge Smith Yeatman's collection these are some of the most notable events of the trip: May 25th: the ship dropped anchor in Rio de Janeiro ... some of the men encountered the Emperor of Brazil, Dom Pedro and exchanged greetings, only to learn later who the stranger was. July 4th: the ship neared Cape Horn, encountered terrible weather for several days, the Stars & Stripes were run up, Col. John D. Mumford read the Declaration of Independence, and a banquet was held. July 8th: off Cape Pillar the western extremity of the Straits of Magellan. Aug 28th: arrived at Callao in Lima ... some of the crew were invited to go hunting by some wealthy Peruvians who were familiar with Virginia, having educated their sons at the University of Virginia. Soon after the adventurers arrived in San Francisco, they sold the "Glenmore" and separated to seek their fortune.

It's a shame that the county map of http://www.co.gloucester.va.us/map1.htm does not show the district lines. Abingdon has extended to Capahoosic on the York River and Wilson Creek on the east side. Did you view Fanny West in the 1900 census at http://www.rootsweb.com/~vaggsv/vaggsv/census_1900_Abingdon.htm? Is that info correct? We are in the process of editing this version. It has James born in 1865, but he was in the 1860 census to indicate an error. Roane Hunt
