Book Synopsis Cumberland Parish, Lunenburg County, Virginia 1746-1816, [And] Vestry by : Landon C. Bell
Download or read book Cumberland Parish, Lunenburg County, Virginia 1746-1816, [And] Vestry written by Landon C. Bell and published by Janaway Publishing, Incorporated. This book was released on 2015-05-28 with total page 646 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In colonial days and until the Statute of Religious Freedom and the "dis-establishment" of the Episcopal Church in Virginia, the Church was not only a religious institution, but it was also in a very real sense a public, official, governmental agency. The whole institution was supported from public revenue. Consequently, and in addition to what we now know as "public records," the only records of births, marriages and death officially kept were parish or church records. Lunenburg County, Virginia, was established on May 1, 1746, from Brunswick County, and shared the same boundaries with Cumberland Parish. The vestry book, which is contained within this work, is replete with records of birth, baptism, marriage, and death, as well as an abundance of land transactions. To this, the author has provided extensive genealogical sketches of many families of Cumberland Parish. Paperback, (1930), Illus, Index, 646 pp.

Download or read book James Craig written by Cynthia Mattson and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the early days of the American Revolution, the Reverend James Craig, Anglican minister of Cumberland Parish, Lunenburg County, Virginia, preached patriotism to his fellow citizens and supported the war effort by operating his gristmill as a supply depot for the American army. In the summer of 1781, Craig's mill was burned to the ground and his lands laid waste by the infamous British officer Banastre Tarleton, who was leading the storied British Legion on a raid through Southside Virginia. Shortly thereafter, the Lunenburg County citizenry had occasion to formally extol the parson for his "zeal and attachment to the cause of American liberty." But the very cause Craig was supporting was also beginning to loosen the comfortable moorings enjoyed by the Anglican Church as the established church in Virginia. Revolutionary stirrings toward complete separation of church and state were afoot and were to reach a watershed in Virginia in 1786 with legislation that set the erstwhile established church adrift in roiling waters. Stalwart, and as dedicated to his faith as to his country, Reverend Craig helped steer his church on a course where it found a new place in society after the war as the Protestant Episcopal Church. In James Craig, Patriot Parson, Cynthia Mattson shows in lawyerly detail how the life and career of this eighteenth-century clergyman, anchored in Lunenburg County, Virginia, were shaped not only by the "fire and sword" of armed hostilities but more profoundly by the dynamics at work among such figures as Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison in courtrooms, congresses, and legislatures. The author also shows how Reverend Craig, in meeting these challenges, in turn helped preserve and shape his church and community. Yet there was one more dimension to this clergyman's life that reflected historic currents: his participation in the economic life surrounding him. Although parish ministers were provided a house and land to live on, through his own efforts Craig acquired further lands and built the gristmill targeted by British forces during the Revolution. As a prosperous member of Virginia's gentry, however, this man of the cloth was also a slaveholder--thus fully caught up in the great contradiction of America's history: slavery in the land of the free. It would take nearly another century for the festering contradiction to unleash another war, one in which many Craig descendants lost life and property. This part of the James Craig story is also told on these pages. Cynthia Mattson, a resident of Virginia since 1972, received her B.A. from Michigan State University and J.D. from Columbus School of Law at the Catholic University of America. Mattson served most of her twenty-eight-year career with the federal government as a trial lawyer. She is a member of the Virginia and District of Columbia bars and is admitted to practice before the United States Tax Court. She is also a member of the Virginia Historical Society and the Lunenburg County Historical Society.

Book Synopsis The Killing of Reverend Kay by : Cynthia Mattson
Download or read book The Killing of Reverend Kay written by Cynthia Mattson and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2018-04-09 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the early fall of 1755 in the backcountry of Virginia. The British army has suffered a stunning defeat at the hands of the French and their Indian allies in the opening battle of the French and Indian War, leaving the frontier in flames and open to attacks from the enemy. William Kay, a young minister well-known to the colonial establishment for his years long stand against a powerful planter and vestryman bent on revenge, is murdered. Three of Kay’s slaves are accused and swiftly condemned to the brutal form of justice reserved for the enslaved, while another man who had threatened Kay’s life disappears from the scene. When the colonial governor and officials aligned with him suppress the news of the unprecedented crime and the court record of the slave trial, the killing of Reverend Kay becomes lost to history––until now.

Book Synopsis A Blessed Company by : John K. Nelson
Download or read book A Blessed Company written by John K. Nelson and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2003-01-14 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, John Nelson reconstructs everyday Anglican religious practice and experience in Virginia from the end of the seventeenth century to the start of the American Revolution. Challenging previous characterizations of the colonial Anglican establishment as weak, he reveals the fundamental role the church played in the political, social, and economic as well as the spiritual lives of its parishioners. Drawing on extensive research in parish and county records and other primary sources, Nelson describes Anglican Virginia's parish system, its parsons, its rituals of worship and rites of passage, and its parishioners' varied relationships to the church. All colonial Virginians--men and women, rich and poor, young and old, planters and merchants, servants and slaves, dissenters and freethinkers--belonged to a parish. As such, they were subject to its levies, its authority over marriage, and other social and economic dictates. In addition to its religious functions, the parish provided essential care for the poor, collaborated with the courts to handle civil disputes, and exerted its influence over many other aspects of community life. A Blessed Company demonstrates that, by creatively adapting Anglican parish organization and the language, forms, and modes of Anglican spirituality to the Chesapeake's distinctive environmental and human conditions, colonial Virginians sustained a remarkably effective and faithful Anglican church in the Old Dominion.

Book Synopsis The Evolution of the Southern Backcountry by : Richard R. Beeman
Download or read book The Evolution of the Southern Backcountry written by Richard R. Beeman and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2010-08-03 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Evolution of the Southern Backcountry is the story of an expanding frontier. Richard Beeman offers a lively and well-written account of the creation of bonds of community among the farmers who settled Lunenburg Country, far to the south and west of Virginia's center of political and economic activity. Beeman's view of the nature of community provides an important dynamic model of the transmission of culture from older, more settled regions of Virginia to the southern frontier. He describes how the southern frontier was influenced by those staples of American historical development: opportunity, mobility, democracy, and ethnic pluralism; and he shows how the county evolved socially, culturally, and economically to become distinctly southern.

Book Synopsis The Realms of Oblivion by : Andrew C. Ross
Download or read book The Realms of Oblivion written by Andrew C. Ross and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 2024-07-30 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Realms of Oblivion explores the complexities involved in reconciling competing versions of history, channeled through Davies Manor, a historic site near Memphis that once centered a wealthy slave-owning family’s sprawling cotton plantation. Interrogating the forces of memorialization that often go unquestioned in the stories we believe about ourselves and our communities, this book simultaneously tells an informative and engrossing bottom-up history—of the Davies family, of the Black families they enslaved and exploited across generations, and of Memphis and Shelby County—while challenging readers to consider just what upholds the survival of that history into the present day. Written in an engaging and critical style, The Realms of Oblivion is grounded in a rich source base, ranging from nineteenth-century legal records to the personal papers of the Davies family to twentieth-century African American oral histories. Author Andrew C. Ross uses these sources to unearth the stark contrast between the version of Davies Manor’s history that was built out of nostalgia, and the version that records have proven to actually be true. As a result, Ross illuminates the ongoing need for a deep and honest reckoning with the history of the South and of the United States, on the part of both individuals and community institutions such as local historic sites and small museums.
