Maj. Dale's part in Bacon's rebellion seems to have been that he represented Lancaster county "Att a Committy (by Ordefr of Ye Grand Assembly) for Laying a Levy in the Northern Xeck for ye charge in Raisinge ye forces thereof for suppres- sing ye late rebellion mett at Capt. Beales ye 14 th of August 1677 being present Mr. Wm. Presley, Maj r Ed. Dale, Major Isaac Allerton, Mr. Peter Presley, Coll. Wm. Travers, Coll. Sam 1 Griffin, Coll. George Mason, & Mr. Martin Scarlett." In addition to his offices in Lancaster, his home county, Edward Dale was also the first clerk of Westmoreland county between the years 1652 and 1662, running the office by the help of a deputy. The old worthies of Seventeenth century Virginia were very careful of their honor and dignity, and prompt and severe in their resentment of any infringement of the same. On February 8th, 1670, in contending for a point of this kind Mr. Dale routed the entire court, causing them to adjourn without transacting any business, as the only record of their meeting is as follows : "Mr. Edward Dale, Clerk of this county & in Commission for the peace, and high Sher f . of this County conceiving himself sufficiently qualified to. sett covered in Court w ch some of ye sd Justices would not allow of they did thereupon adjourn till ye second Wednesday in the month next." During his fifteen years on the county bench he dissented from the opinion of the other justices more than any other one of them, and always saw to it that his dissentions were recorded. Another illustration of an affront to their dignity in which Major Dale played a part is as follows: Att a court for ye County of Lancaster Nov. y e 8 th Ano Dni 1671 at ye Co rt house these Mr.Will Ball Sen. Mr.Bryan Stott Mr. George WALE Mr. Robert Beckinham Mr. Tho: Hayne Mr. Will Ball, Jun r . Mr. Robt. Griggs Mr. Tho : Marshall Mr. Dan : Harrison. [S100] Internet Source, Virginia Heraldica. SKIPWITH.
