Book excerpt: In An "Uncertaine Rumor" of Land, Jenean Hall reveals the sequence of events that led to a permanent English settlement on Virginia's Eastern Shore. The setting places us in the midst of the Virginia colony's struggle to accomplish demands as outlined in the Virginia Company's Great Charter of 1618. Fallout from this charter displaced some colonists and created a great burden on others, especially in the port settlement known as Elizabeth City (today's Hampton). One displaced colonist sought a new home, only to be displaced again because of the Company's demand for iron. Hall shows how such events played a role to bring John Blore and his new bride, Frances Lake, to Virginia's Eastern Shore to become its first permanent settlers. The Blores were soon followed by John Wilcocks whose small plantation developed as an overflow from the unexpected crush of people at Elizabeth City. During this same time, the eastern shore's fertility and beauty attracted the colony's Secretary Pory who placed a contingent of men on land between the Blores and Wilcocks. This ordinary progression of settlement was shattered on March 22, 1622 (n.s.), when mainland tribes of the Powhatan Confederacy attacked the mainland plantations and killed a quarter of the colony's European population. The ensuing fear and chaos prompted the Virginia governor and council to search for safe, inhabitable places. Under the governor's commission, the former governor, Sir George Yeardley, took several vessels of people to the Eastern Shore where he and Thomas Savage, an interpreter, negotiated for land with the eastern shore's Indian leader, a man known as the Laughing King. Yeardley was working toward developing a new, larger plantation off the Ackomack River when he was suddenly ordered to stop work. However, eyes had turned eastward and many liked what they saw. Most important at this time, the eastern shore's native people were welcoming and peaceful. European settlement on Virginia's Eastern Shore began to thrive. A rare treat in colonial Virginia history, this book tells an extraordinary story that hasn't been heard before now.

Book excerpt: "Error in history is like a flock of sheep jumping over a bridge; if one goes, the rest all follow." (Charles Campbell, cited by Jennings Cropper Wise in Ye Kingdom of Accawmacke) In Another Day, Jenean Hall sets her hand to some of the errors told about colonial Virginia's Eastern Shore history. For example, some historians are still saying that Sir George Yeardley was in cahoots with Captain Epps against Thomas Savage, yet no evidence supports that premise. Another oft-told tale is that Edmund Scarburgh led an unauthorized raid against the Indians in 1651, yet the records tell a different story. Another Day breaks some myths and retells other stories with revealing details. Also in these chapters, we learn that the first Eastern Shore attorney of record was a woman; the Laughing King was not named for his personality; and "Dunking was not always about doughnuts." Another Day is well-cited research, written for your enjoyment. By the author of An "Uncertaine Rumor" of Land: New Thoughts on the Founding of Virginia's Eastern Shore (2022) and Victoria Stories: Glimpses of a Virginian Railway Town (2011).

This book was released on 2012-12-01 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dissolution of the ill-starred Virginia Company in 1624 left Virginia -- now England's first royal colony -- without a formal raison d'etre. Most historians have suggested that the nascent local societies were anarchic, under the thrall of violent and unscrupulous men. James Perry asserts the opposite: The Formation of a Society on Virginia's Eastern Shore, 1615-1655 depicts emergent social cohesion. In a model of network analysis, Perry mines county court records to trace landholders through four decades -- their land, families, neighborhoods, local and offshore economic relations, and institutions. A wealth of statistics documents their development from rudimentary beginnings to a more highly articulated society capable of resolving conflict and working toward communal good. Perry's methodology will serve as a model for analyzing other new settlements, particularly those lacking the close-knit religious bonds and contractual foundations of New England towns. His conclusions will reshape notions of the development of early Chesapeake society. Originally published in 1990.

Download or read book Colonial Families of the Eastern Shore of Virginia written by Mary Frances Carey and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-08 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first volume of a planned series of Colonial Families of the Eastern Shore of Virginia. The first volume is devoted to the works of Mary Frances Carey, whereas subsequent volumes also include the works of Barry Miles and M. K. Miles. Mary Frances has devoted many years to research of early Accomack County families and is in the process of turning over her research to Barry and M. K., whose collaboration has generated a database of Accomack County families. The database initially focused on the upper portion of Accomack County, but it has expanded into the rest of Accomack and Northampton Counties. These three individuals have over twenty-five years of experience each with Accomack County families and the various local records, cemeteries, and people still living in Accomack County. Mary Frances has researched and locally printed over forty family booklets, and, with Barry and M. K., she has published the Tombstone Inscriptions of Upper Accomack County, Virginia. The Miles team published the Marriage Records of Accomack County, Virginia, 1854-1896 in 1997 and the Abstract of the Wills and Administrations of Accomack County, Virginia, 1800-1860 in 2000. They have also assembled over 40,000 names in a genealogy database representing hundreds of Accomack families. This volume is devoted to families of Accomack and Northampton Counties including descendants of: James Bonnewell, Richard Bundick, William Mason, Edward Thornton, Henry Trader/Armitrader, and Henry Wright. A full-name and place index adds to the value of this work.

Download or read book Chincoteague and Assateague Islands written by Nan DeVincent-Hayes and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thriving barrier islands of Chincoteague and Assateague entice over a million tourists to their shores every year. Adjacent to one another, these parcels of land jutting into the Atlantic have a symbiotic relationship--Chincoteague, a modern, developed community that thrives on tourism, helps attract visitors to neighboring Assateague, which in turn acts as a natural buffer against the surging tides and is home to Assateague Island National Seashore, a state park that provides protection for native flora and fauna and leisure activities for the nature lover. Overlapping the border between Maryland and Virginia, Assateague Island remains an undisturbed natural habitat boasting extensive wetlands and wildlife. Images of the native inhabitants of this area abound--the ponies, birds, and sea life take center stage, while the sandy dunes and rolling ocean provide a beautiful backdrop. The families who made the island of Chincoteague their home, from as early as 1650, were a tough breed and, over the years, made many contributions to the improvement of their community. Schools, churches, and businesses were established, bridges were built, roads were paved, and waterways made navigable--all of this visually documented and now available in this remarkable volume.
