Speaking of beautiful views of the james River, the sight from Drewry's Bluff down the river is a magnificent view. Robert Shotzberger

Please clarify for me--- Is Bottoms Bridge over the Chickahominey River on route 60 or route 5? I agree about the "mighty James" River. Here in Lynchburg it is no slouch, even in a record-breaking drought. But at Newport News, it is truly AWESOME! Joan Logan Brooks

The drive along Rt 5 is a must-do, especially in the fall when the leaves have turned. This is a road mostly untouched by the highway dept. Narrow, winding, and unintended for heavy traffic. When the trees on either side meet overhead and put you in a tunnel of color in Fall, or coolness in the summer, the ghosts of our ancestors can be felt alongside. Don't take it if you're in a hurry to get somewhere though. About the Chickahominey, etc. -- I have to agree that the James River is a wonderful sight, even tho I've never seen the Chatahoochee. I used to cross it twice a day, North of Richmond, in my commute to/frin work, and it was the best part of drive time. I work a stone's throw from the swampy edges of the Chickahominey, and now my drive time intersects the flight paths of Great Blue Herons on *their* commute from swamp to river and back. My boss actually cuts through the swamp and comes in every day with stories of his wildife sightings. It's definitely a living body of water.

Growing up near the Henrico, Hanover & New Kent County lines, it always has been & always will be 'the swamp." It is hard to imagine the soldiers during the war having to cope with the swamp. Barefoot, woolen uniforms, mosquitos, gnats, well....you get the picture. But you are right, it does widen and warrants a bridge and the James is a mighty river. BTW......my 3 great grandfather, Ellyson Gaulding lived on the north side of the swamp during the war. He was a proud Unionist and spent the better part of the war helping Union soldiers, Confederate deserters, & blacks escape past the Confederate lines. He rented the house of Thomas Batkins in New Kent County that "he used as kind of depot for deserters and refugees brought there by claimant " (Ellyson Gaulding). He did this with the help of an ex-slave (among others) by the name of William White who was born in New Kent. William White and a partner named Peter Christain were captured and spent time in Castle Thunder. He was released sick almost "near death" and was nursed back to health by Sallie Gaulding, the wife of Ellyson. William White lived on Union Hill in Richmond during the 1870's. I would love to find descendants of Mr. White, because he sounds like a man with great dignity and I have the impression he & Ellyson were friends. Ellyson also had a man in Richmond named John Goodman. John Goodman was a "contact" for those who wanted to get away. That is why I love doing this research....the things I find out! Who would have known our area had a pocket of Unionists? I have a list of Unionists who resided in Hanover County, but the names are also prominent in Henrico & New Kent: Thomas Batkins John Barker William H Stuart Thaddeus Higgins Joseph Higgins Charles W Higgins William Taylor Robert L Jenkins Joseph Adams Isaac Burnett Wm E Tyler John H Tyler Madison V Tyler William Bailey I have been trying to track down info on William E Tyler (Ellyson's father in law) and Madison Tyler but have hit a brick wall with this Tyler line.

I totally agree with Rebecca about the swampiness of the Chickahominy, however, along Rt. 5, leaving Williamsburg, heading toward Richmond, the Chickahominy actually begins to resemble a real river and even warrants its own bridge that is part of Rt. 5. For those of us who grew up in the "real" tide water area, along the lower James and the Hampton Roads and the Bay, it takes quite a bit of "real" water to qualify for a "river". My friends & relatives from Georgia who are accustomed to the Chattahoochee "River" look at the lower James and gasp. The Mighty James is, indeed, an awesome sight. And it is so stirring to gaze upon it and imagine the sturdy little 17th century ships that scooted up and down its shores, bringing our brave and worthy ancestors from England to Jamestown.

On a personal level, I've always thought "Chickahominy River" was an exceptionally optimistic euphemism. It's more accurately the Chickahominy Swamp, and covers a very large area. The bridge in question was once entirely under water for a brief time thanks to the industriousness of a family of beavers. Bottoms Bridge became an extremely quiet wide spot in the road when I-64 was extended East from Richmond. Prior to that route 60 was full of summer traffic to the NC beaches. n Wed, 31 Jul 2002 12:26:04 -0400 "COUNTRY.GARDENS" <[email protected]> wrote: > > Bottoms Bridge > Bottoms Bridge was named after the Bottoms > family who built the first bridge > there in the early 1700s.

Bottoms Bridge Bottoms Bridge was named after the Bottoms family who built the first bridge there in the early 1700s. Lafayette camped near there on May 4, 1781, and Cornwallis camped there in pursuit of Lafayette on May 28. Later, in 1862, Bottoms Bridge was used by General McClellan's army to cross the Chickahominy in their advance on Richmond. It is in New Kent County. ----- Original Message ----- From: "mike simmons" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 31, 2002 12:15 PM Subject: [VAHENRIC] Fw: Bottom Bridge > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Jerry Bottoms > To: [email protected] > Sent: Wednesday, July 31, 2002 10:21 AM > Subject: Bottom Bridge > > > Do you have any info. on "Bottom Bridge"?

You are right! I just accessed the 1930 census records and there in Richmond county are records from City of Richmond, Henrico County.
