LOCKWOOD Honorary Vke-Prasidenl General, National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution COMPLETE IN THREE VOLUMES VOLUME L OOimOMWBALra PUMTIMO 00. BOHBLTM. IT A. 1 ■^^ HOV 12 1920** Copyright, 191 2, by Mrs. Mary S. Lockwood Honorary Vice-President General* National Society Daughters of the American Revolution FOREWORD. In the year 1746, all that portion oitht •Colony x>i Virginia which lay west of the Blue Ridge Mountains was erected into a County which was named Augusta. In December of that year, the County Court was or- ganized and held its first sitting. Prior to that time it had become the refuge and abiding place of a strong body of Scotch-Irish immigrants. The bounds of the new County were limited on the north by Fairfax's Northern Neck Grant and the boundaries of Maryland and Pennsylvania to the westward of Fairfax ; on the east by the Blue Ridge Mountains ; on the south by the Caroline line. On the west its territory embraced all the soil held by the British without limit of extent. For about twelve years the County Court of Augusta was the only Court and repository of records within that district. From the end of that period, at frequent intervals, its jurisdiction was restricted by the erection of other Counties as the demands of the settlers required. Its original constitution em- braced all Virginia west of the Blue Ridge (with the exception of the Northern Neck Grant, whose southern boundary was in the present County of Shenandoah, and western, through the Counties of Hardy, Hampshire, and northward to the Potomac) ; the whole of the present state of West Virginia ; a portion of the present Western Pennsylvania, including Pittsburgh, which was, at times, the seat of the County Court ; and the lands on the waters of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. The value of this compilation of notes and abstracts will be deter- mined by the extent of its contribution to the history of the early set- tlement of a great country and the acceptability of its form. It is not claimed that it is of equal value with the records themselves, or that it is perfect as a compilation. Nor does it constitute a history in the accepted sense. Yet, as the progressive record of the daily life, the needs, the trials, the struggles, the efforts, the labors, the implements and tools, the occupations and amusements, the aids and obstacles, the aims and longings, the achievements and failures, the forming and shaping, the beauty and ugliness, the riches and sordidness, the risings and declinings, the moral, physical, and spiritual evolution of an offshoot and a nucleus of a people whose characteristics have ever been truth, honesty, sim- plicity, singleness of purpose, and courage, it is believed that it presents history in its truest, most reliable and most attractive form. There is much in it that will be found to be of no direct import ; much that can- 3 n not be classified; much that cannot be reduced to a generality; much that cannot be made to point to a moral. But every item has its value, each has its place in the picture, each gives a touch or different shade of color, each limits, or broadens, or enlightens its own surroundings. The vista unfolds by grades and steps, and truth becomes plain, as it always does, through growth and development. The story is told by those who act the play. Nothing is added by commentator; nothing is colored by bias ; nothing is affected ; nothing the result of self-consciousness. To present the bare facts has been the purpose of the compiler. Each reader will weave his own story, with his own coloring and atmosphere. . PREFACE.

We, your petitioners, humbly pray your worship to put a stop to the said liquors, which would encourage us to pursue our labori- ous designs, which is to raise sufficient quantities of grain which would suffi- ciently supply us with liquors and the money circulate in this County to the advantage ot us, the same. We hope that your worships will discover to us that you have a real regard for the good of the County^ and lay us under an obligation to pray for your prosperity.

He was present when the proposals were made that Robert Looney and wife desired to have confirmed. &>me time after Colonel Buchanan was sent for to draw the articles, and Buchanan's statements are punctually true. The articles were lodged with deponent. Shortly afterwards defendant and wife made a demand of Peter Looney (now deceased) and David Looney of the house and land. Peter Looney immediately answered (which David agreed to), ''choose the spot for the house and it shall be built, and show the land, and Colonel Buchanan and Colonel Smith shall lay it off." They insisted to have land over the creek, but Peter and David refused because it was contrary to the agreement. Then Robert and wife made a second demand of David Looney. The old woman said she chose to have the land in the orchard, which he agreed to, and further said if they chose to have the house where his barn stood, he would remove the bam. The widow Looney sent off for cattle to winter in consequence of the bargain. The first winter after the bargain David Looney wintered Robert Looney's cattle, and deponent several times saw David drawing firewood to the said Robert, and he saw widow Looney send a hand to cut wood for him. Sworn to before William Pres- ton, Isiah Christian, Benjamin Hawkins. William Lawderdeal says that the second winter after the above agreement, Margaret, the relict of Peter Looney, deceased, sent him to Robert Looney to get and drive what cattle fell to her share to winter, according to the agreement. Robert sent one cow. Thomas Ramsey deposes that Robert Looney was intoxicated with liquor when the articles were written, but was perfectly in his senses when they were signed. John Buchanan deposes plaintiffs are Peter and David Looney, defendants are Robert Looney and John Bowyer. There were pro- posals between defendants and plaintiffs about the making over his land to them, which bargain was afterwards concluded and deponent was sent for to draw the articles. Both parties repeated to him all particulars of the agreement, which he wrote down. Defendant Robert was drinking spirituous liquors too freely so that he lay down to sleep before writing was concluded. Deponent too(k) the articles home and after some time returned and found Robert awake and in his perfect senses. All executed. Part of the land be- longed at that time to Absalom Looney. Deponent mentioned this to Robert, who said that Absalom had ordered his land to be sold, that he would buy it and throw it in with his other land and make it over to plaintiffs. Robert told deponent on Absalom's return from Carolina that he had paid Absalom £10 and he was well pleased with what Robert had done. The agreement was that the plaintiffs were to lay off five acres for defendant anywhere he chose on the premises, a certain rent to be paid yearly. This bill bindeth me, Alexander Legate, of White Clay Creek Hundred^ in the County of New Castle, on Delaware, cooper, in sum of £ 8, cur- 448 rent lawful tnoncy of Penvylyaxiia, to h^ paid to Jam^ Brponiy. of the Hun-^ drfii and County above named, within six months.

Casjle Hill, September 30, 1760. Sir ; Your favor of ye 30th of August came to hand the other day. The contents thereof surprises me, I suppose, as much as Mrs. Hoops's answer did you. I shall not at present enter into the justness, or reasonableness, of the account, as I presume that is out of the question. You, I make no doubt, are sensible the money ought to have been paid by the Crown, and I should have thought your experience from the year 1755 would have convinced you that it was necessary to apply either before or at the time the Commissioners settled the accounts for the campaign of 1758, as no regard has been paid to any ac- counts that were not brought in before such settlements of any campaign were finished. As to your seeking justice in Virginia, I presume no Court, or jury, can be of opinion that I am to pay the debts due from the Crown which remain unpaid from the neglect of the creditors. Could I assist you I should with the greatest pleasure, but as I cannot, must leave you to take any method you may think Just and most likely to recover your due. I am, your most humble servant, (Signed) Thomas Walker. Col. Thomas Cresap, the Old Town, Maryland. James Heaton's receipt to Thomas Cresap, 21st March, 1756, £3.12.0.

Gregg vs. Hinkle. — Sir: — I understand that you are much dissatisfied about the land that I surveyed for Abraham Teter, on the north side of Seneca, joining his own land, saying I promised to send you word before I surveyed it. I remember of promising not to survey it before Andrew Johnson would return from Rockingham, who was to bring your entry, and Andrew returned and brought no entry; and, moreover, old George Teter searched Lewis's records and found no such entry as you spoke of, and the widow Teter demanded the surveying of the same, and as Abraham had the oldest entry by warrant, I thought myself in duty bound to survey it, neither saw I any occasion to send for you, when I knew you had no entry for the land, and yet had time to procure it, and, furthermore, it is uncertain whether old entrys are prolonged on the Eastern waters or not, for Mr. Lewis wrote to me that he knew that they were prolonged on the Western waters, but not on our waters. But if your right is good, my surveying of it will not hinder you from obtaining it, for I don't mean to make the plot till you are satisfied about it. I am ready, at your demand, to survey 100 acres for you on Seneca, above Abraham Teter's land, for your entry is now made by warrant, for I lately obtained a warrant for you from Colonel Hamilton. I desire that you be moderate in your censures, and, whether or not, I am your hearty well-wisher and obsequious, M. Henkle. To Mr. Wm. Gragg. (Addressed) Mr. William Gragg, Sr., On Seneca.

Bond by Daniel (his "O") Stringer, of FoUowfield Township, County of Chester, and Prov- ince of Pennsylvania, yeoman. Am held, &c., to James Ortan, of same place, ftc. Condition: To pav £10 in 1751. Test, Wm. Morrow, Walter Hood Rill for injunction, as follows: To the Worshipful Court of Augusta, Sit- ting in Chancery : Orator Daniel Stringer, late of Chester County, Penn- 484 sylvania : That some time in 1748, or 1749, he purchased a plantation near Buckley's Mill, in said County, of one James Orton, for £100, and executed eight bonds. Orton had bought from William Morrow, but being unable to make the payments, he sold to orator, and Morrow took assignment of the eight bonds. Orator, intending to come to Virginia, sold to Robert Turner for £150, and then set oflF on his journey to Virginia. Morrow went to orator's wife, persuaded her Turner was insolvent and to pve up the bonds to Morrow, which she did, and on his representation that it was necessary, she went to Philadelphia with Morrow — 65 miles — where he desired her to tarry at a barber shop till he returned from waiting on the Secretary. After some time he returned and told her she might go home for he had attended to the business without her. Morrow told her that the Secretary gave Morrow a warrant to John Taylor, Surveyor of the County, and she might get home as she could, and left her to walk home on foot. The day after she got home, Morrow came and told her one thing more was necessary to give him possession of the land, by putting out her fire and kindling one in his name, which she also performed, and asked him to give up her husband's bonds, which he agreed to do if she met him at John Taylor's mill that even- ing. She met him there and found him so drunk that he did nothing but abuse her and her two brothers-in-law who went along with her. Orator shows that on his way home from Virginia a certain Hans Hamilton, then Sheriff of York County, came to the house where he lodged, about two miles on this side of Yorktown, and learning orator's name, asked him if he was not indebted to Morrow, and arrested him at the suit of Morrow, assignee of orator, &c., &c., and carried orator forty miles back to Hamilton's house, where he was forced to remain a prisoner two weeks (as he could procure no one to be his bail in a place where he was a stranger), and then to deliver his two horses (value £40) to the Sheriff as a pledge for his appearance. When he got home he was informed by his wife of her agreement with Morrow, whom orator upbraided. Morrow went with orator to Yorktown, where Hamilton arrested orator at suit of another person, and on his agreeing to go to Hamilton's house to make up with that other person who lived near, Morrow said he must return home;, but would come to Hamilton in a few days and settle all matters, and he would carry home orator's mare, which he then rid (worth £11) out of friendship; on which Morrow took the mare, saddle and bridle, together with a wallet in which was a new shirt and 3/ in money. Orator waited eleven days for Morrow's return, and was then compelled to swap a stallion, one of the horses formerly left in the Sheriff's hands, to a mare of the Sheriff's to carry him home; but was obliged to leave nine pounds (the boot which he was to receive in the swap of the said horses), tq;;ether with the other horse, in the Sheriff's hands. Since which time orator has never seen or met Morrow. Morrow has sued orator in Augusta. Orator never re- ceived any of his articles. Sworn to 16th May, 1761, before Daniel Smith. March, 1764 (B).

November, 1766 (A). • Carpenter vs. Fonts (Fotch). — Chancery. Writ dated 24th November, 1763. Complainants are George Carpenter and Ann, his wife; Stephen Hantsberger and Ursilla, his wife ; Matthew Hearce and Francis, his wife, daughters and co-heirs of John Shitley, deceased ; that John Shitley was an inhabitant of the German Empire, where he died,- having a small personal estate, leaving behind him your oratrices, then very young, and , his wife, mother of oratrices, and one of the defendants, who by the laws and customs of the empire, possessed herself of the small fortune of her husband. Shortly after the father's death, the widow, thinking to benefit herself and children, transported herself to America, bringing with her your oratrices and what remained of John Shitley's estate, amounting to near £100, Vir- ginia currency, and some time after her arrival married John Fotch, the other defendant, who took possession of all the effects. That as your ora- trices grew up, they intermarried (as above) and their husbands frequently applied to the said John Fotsch and wife for the parts due their wives, but obtained only £20 Pennsylvania Currency, £7 Virginia Currency, and 2 horses, worth £14, for which they gave receipt to Fotsch, expecting to re- ceive the remainder in a short time, but now so it is, he refuses to pay them anything more. John Fotch's answer : He married the widow of John Shitley in Germati y and not in America, and that on her passage to America she died at Ply- mouth. He never possessed himself of any part of Shitley's estate, for lie died insolvent, except a few trifling bed clothes made use of by his childr(»:i on shipboard, but he says the grandfather of oratrices, Malchia Shitley, left them goods and chattels which this defendant, marrying their mother, pos- sessed himself of, and before he catnc to America sold for as much money as came to £67 Virginia Currency, of which defendant expended £8 for ora- trices for provisions and carriage from Switzerland to Holland, where they took shipping, almost 300 miles. He also paid for their passage to Americi the sum of 16 pistoles, and provisions growing short on shipboard, he was obliged to expend 30 shillings. Having landed in Maryland and intending to settle at Tulpahocken in Pennsylvania, he spent £3, 15 for provisions and carriage to that place. That he left Germany in 1744, and about 2 or 3 years after he came to this country he advanced to oratrices £25 in Virginia Cur- rency, and two mares of the price of £14, 10. That lately, on 31st March, 1762, he and complainants came to a final settlement and defendant agreed to settle with them £42. Augustine Price deposes before Felix Gilbert: That is Mardi, 1762, io company with George Carpenter, John Potch and others. Carpenter and Fotch agreed to leave their dispute to Jacob Pershinger, Jacob Nicholas and Daniel Price, but they could not agree, when they came to an agreement themselves, the only question remaining whether Virginia or Pennsylvania Currency. Daniel Price deposes the same. Jacob Miller deposes : That being at the house of John Potch some time in March, 1749, he heard George Carpenter ask three Gerles, that were hein to the estate of , if they were satisfied with what they had received. Jacob Pershinger deposes like Augustine Price. Barbary Miller deposes, that being in company with Usley Shutting in 1750. Usley said she had received a mare and some clothes, and was weD satisfied.

John Smith deposes that in 1768 or 1764 Robert Looney sent for his son, Absalom, to come from Blue Stone to James River with his family. That before he came in Robert Looney pro- posed to his son Daniel that he would give him (Daniel) the land over the Creek for his land in the Draft to settle his son Absalom on, to which Daniel agreed, and when Absalom came in he settled on the land and Daniel Looney took possession of the land over the Creek. That some time afterwards Daniel Looney made the said Absalom a title to the same. That Daniel never got any title from his father that the deponent knows of, though he often afterwards heard the said Robert Looney acknowledge the bargain, and that when the said Robert Looney made over his other lands to his sons, he excepted and reserved the land over the Creek for his son Daniel. Col. John Buchanan deposes : Of the original agreement he knows noth- ing, but that in 1765 Daniel Looney was in possession of the land over tihe creek, and that Robert often told deponent he had given his son Daniel the land over the creek in lieu of the land in the draft whereon Absalom Looney then lived, and that Daniel Looney repeatedly told deponent the same thing. That when Daniel was on his death bed he sent for deponent, and, among other things, it was mentioned that the land whereon he then lived was his, and the said Daniel then desired that after his deaUi it might descend to his daughter, which his father, Robert Looney, said nothing against, though he was present.

Tames Breckenridge deposes, 7th Sep- tember, 1811, in Botetourt County, before Mathew Harvey, William Ander- son: That shortly after the death of Robert, Thomas informed deponent that he had lost a considerable quantity of gunpowder, perhaps about five hundred weight, which he said belonged to Robert's estate, and had in his lifetime been made and packed perhaps for the plaintiff, to discharge a debt due to him which was payable in that article ; that he apprehended it had been stolea by negroes in the neighborhood and desired this deponent to collect at the Court House such as he suspected for the purpose of examining them, which was done immediately. This happened shortly after the insurrection among the negroes in the neighborhood of Richmond was discovered. De* ponent had no reason to believe that any quantity of gunpowder was stolen. Botetourt County records prove that defendant was convicted of slandering Paxton. John Smelzer was convicted in Sweet Springs District Court of slandering Joseph Ghent. Joseph Ghent is known to deponent since Joseph's infancy and is entitled to credit. On defendant's complaint many negroes were brought to the Court House and regularly examined, but nothing trans- pired to excite in deponent's understanding the least suspicion of their guilt.

Commonwealth vs. Miller. — Proceedings. Augusta County. This day John Poage, Esq., came before me, Sampson Mathews, a Justice of the reace for the said County, and made oath that he received a letter signed Alexander Miller, M. A., which he believes to be the handwriting of ^ex- ander Miller, formerly a Presbyterian minister. Said letter was dated Aprfl 19th, 1777, and as it appears in the said letter that the said Alexander Miller has maliciously and advisedly, in open defiance of the Act of Gen'l Assembly of the Commonwealth of Virginia, passed the 7th day of October, 1776, for punishing certain offenses, he has endeavored by the words and sentences m the said letter to support, maintain, and defend the power, authority, and jurisdiction of the King of Great Britain within the Commonwealth of Virginia, contrary to the said Act and contrary to the safety, peace, and good order of the people of the said Commonwealth, as also a letter wrote by 5ie said Miller to Col. Abraham Smith to the same effect. These are, there- fore, in the name of the Commonwealth of Virginia, I command you to take the said Alexander Miller and bring him before me on Tuesday next, ye 26th instant, in order that he may answer to the said complaint, and this you shall in no way omit at your peril. You are hereby authorized to summon such guard as may be necessary for the safe conducting of the said Miller. Given .504 under my hand and seal this twenty-second day of August, 1777. (Signed) Sampson Mathews (Seal). To John Erwm, constable, to execute and make return. You are required to summon Benjamin Erwin and Tohn Christian, son of Robert, on behalf of the Commonwealth against the said Miller. Given under my hand ye 22d August, 1777. Executed 26th August, 1777. (Signed) John Erwin, constable. Sir: — I congratulate you on your success at ye election, in ye words of Mordecia to Esther, 4, 14, ''who knows but thou art come, for such a time (of calamity) as this and hope ye will make ye precept Exod. 23, 2, yet con- stant comparison in ye distressing crisis." I write (as I proposed) to you with great cheerfulness, confidence, and freedom from a persuasion, yet I have to speak to a man of penetration and honesty, one who has ye fear of God before his eyes, and I hope and pray that you may have courage to appear for ye common good, as under ye inspection of ye God who stands and presides in ye Assemblies of ye Mighty. I doubt not by year's time many, nay, contradictory, plans have been proposed to you and many wants complained of. I think I will complain to you of only two wants, viz: Peace and safety. Other wants will in time be rapidly supplied if these are obtained. You will say, how are these to be obtained ? I answer, I think neither by war nor claiming independence ; in war, unless by a miracle, we are unfit to conflict with Britain ; and to claim indepencence appears to me evidently wrong, for ye following reasons, viz : 1. What deprives others of their property is unjust and useless ; but inde- pendency deprives Britain of her property, therefore claiming independency is unjust and unlawful ; ye first is true, property is by divine appointment, and to invade it is forbid by ye 8th Commandment. Therefore unjust and unlawful the second is thus proven, yet Britain has a property is allowed by common language, "British America," "British colonies,," our patents and ye consent of ye powers concerned in ye late pacification, but independency deprives Britain of her territories, i. e., of her property, therefore unjust and unlawful. 2. What is imprudent and unprofitable is a civil evil and loss to a people, but independency is imprudent and unprofitable, therefore evil and loss. Ye agreement is proven, thus civil prudence consists in increasing the wealth, in lowerine taxes, in securing ye safety of ye people; ye opposites to these are imprudent and unprofitable. But independency stops our trade, increases our taxes, and exposes us to ye vengeance of Great Britain for attempting to rob her of her property, all which is evident ; therefore independency is evil and loss. 3. What will be condemned by friends and enemies, expose a people to general disregard and to be deserted and opposed, nay exposed, to all ought not to be done ; but claiming independency will produce all these evils, diere- fore claiming it ought not to be done, llius is proven by ye first reason we will be condemned for perfidy and ingratitude to our founders and protec- tors, and suspected by friends and enemies for ye future. And as our claim is only by force and strength, a stranger mav treat us as pirates and take per strength what we hold, and we can't complain of injustice done us, there- lore independency ought not to be claimed. 505 4. What subjects men to ye divine displeasure and punishment oi^t to be avoided in conduct, but violating oaths to civil persons is sudi : Ezek. 17, 12 to 22. Independency is inconsistent with out allegiance to Britain. Yon see what will follow — either to avoid claiming independency or be subjected to ye divine displeasure and punishment. If, then, independency be unjost and unlawful, evil and loss ; if it exposes to general condemnation and to be treated as pirates by any who can and will ; if it subjects to ye divine displeasure and punishment ; surely it will not, nor ought not, be claimed br any wise, honest, and Christian people. To these I could add more, but thiok these sufficient at present. You will ask, seeing peace and safety can't be obtained by war or independency, how then shall it be obtained? I answer: If we have done evil, let it be escaped from and not persisted in any longer; if we persevere in sheddinp^ more blood and prolonging ye calamities of war, we thereby increase ye gutlt and misery of ye people. Shall ye continnetD do what and at first ought not to be done ? Our distress is great, be. our rash folly has made it so. Our way and our doings have procured these things to ourselves, Jer. 4, 18. You have now an equal ngfat and privilege with any other member to reason and even repeal sdl or anytfaisf hitherto done by conventions or congresses. I think it would be needful ip inquire of ye people, ye commissioners of ye committees, whether it was tbor instructions to you to enter into war with and independence on Britaio: And if these men, viz committees, etc., have exceeded ye powers ceded to them by their constituents, they and not ye people ought to suffer. To treat with Lord Howe for peace and safety is ye best plan you can fall upon o save ye lives and estates of your constituents. Great is ye trust now repo»i in you and much good or injustice may and will result from your determina- tions. May God direct and strengthen you to do ye first and prevent voo from being accessory to ye la.st is ye prayer of yours in sincerity, April 19, 1777. Alexander Millek, M. A. P.

He will be a horse that will carry you or your Mamey home again freely. Perhaps your Mamey will come with you. I would be fond to see you this fall, because as I off I would sell all together and I can have a deed made here by a lawyer. But it would be costly.

Sir: — ^The order of Court, directing payment to be made for the averages ( ?) of labor in the Clerk's Office of Augusta, out of Mr. Madison's estate, seems to me to be an- warranted by law, for it ought to have been the effect of an agreement between Mr. Madison's representatives and them. Nor do I conceive that you can maintain an action in your own name for what you have done, b^ cause there is no privity between you and Mr. Madison's estate. I therefore rather advise that a suit be instituted in the name of the justices against Mr. Madison's administrators by way of a special action in the case. The charges against Mr. Madison must be for breach of duty, and the amount of the damages will probably be equal to what you have desired for bringing up the records. I am, sir, your most obedient servant. (Signed) Kdm. Ran- dolph.

To Mr. John Madison, in Augusta. — November 2, 1788. Dear Sir:— I wrote you last night by Mr. McMahon. I have nothing to add but that I have sent you, per Ned, as many peaches as cost 6>/3, beside what is in a bag. You will readily know by the color of them that they were bou^t of persons of the same hue. I hope Mrs. Madison will excuse the bad oioioe, as my cousin, Ned, gave me but an hour to provide for him. Those in a small bag and the apples my wife compliments vour children with. I wish then safe to hand and have ordered Ned to nuuce two days' journey home. I think the peaches are too heavy for his horse to carry them home in one day. I hope you will approve of the orders. I am, with the same respect as usual, yours, ftc. (Sig»^) James. Madison. P. S. — I am too lazy and hune to go tathe other house at this time of ni|^ for more paper — 30 past 8 precisely. To Thomas Walker, Esq.— Old Town, August 80th, 1780. Dear Sir:— The answer given me by Mr. Hoops, to my account, pasturage of cattle in 1758, greatly surprises me. He mis me the account is out of time, tfie charge is exorbitant, and that he don't believe that the pasturage was had. It is very extraordinary that a man of his forbearance snould be cut out of his money. As to the rate charged, it is the same paid me daily, and as to tiie number of cattle and sheep diarged, it is not a fourth part of what were pastured that year by me, Mr. Galbraith only signing a certificate for those last taken away, wiuiout allowing anjrthing for what were killed the whole summer for the garrison at Port Cttn4>erland. As I always bolced on you as a gentleman of an establidied good character, I cannot think you will agree to an act of injustice. Therefore hope you will order the pay* ment of this account and prevent my giving you any trouble, that on its not being disdiarged I must, m justice to myself, do, sod which would be very disagreeable to me. At the time the cattle were brought to my plantation^ there was above 60 acres of meadow fit to mow, as good as ever s<^the was put into, besides 60 acres of exceedinf good pasture, and they had the full swing of the whole plantation. If I am obliged to nuJce use of any means to ri^ mjrself , whidi may not be agreeable to you, hope you will excuse me^ as I choose rather to seek justice in Virginia tfian in Pennsylvania. I am, sir, your most humble servant. (Signed) Thomas Cresap.

August, 1780 (A). To the gentlemen of the committee in the respective companies of Augusta County. Gentlemen : From some late occurrences it has been judged neces- sary to call a convention of delq^ates from the various counties and bur- roughs of this colony to meet at Richmond, in the County of Henrico, on the 20th of March next, and it is become a question whether the right of electing such delegates is vested in your committee, or in the freeholders of this County in general. You are requested to assemble the respective com- panies to which you belong and deliberate whether it will be most conveniex^ for the freeholders to assemble to make such election themselves, or refer it to the judgment of the committee, who are hereby requested to meet in Staunton on Wednesday, the 2|^d instant, to make report of the determina- tion of the respective companies on this head, and consider of such other matters that then may be laid before them.

Dear Sir: Being appointed by the Assembly to the Senate of the United States, I have thought it my duty to comply with the wishes of my country by accept- ing that appointment. I shall sit out immediately to enter on the duties of the office on the first of December. What effect this may produce on my professional pursuits depends on the experiment to discover.

In any event, I must request of you to put my business in the utmost forwardness, so that the friend who may act for me may have no trouble and my clients no cause of complaint. I enclose you the bond of Howard L to Butler, upon which you will be pleased to issue a writ. I think you are acquainted with my causes.

CHARLOTTESVitLE, November 15, , Dear Sir: Permit me to present to your acquaintance the bearer, Mr. Hansford, a young gentleman who intends to practice in your Court, and whom you wiH find remarkably well read in the law, and in other respects a very sensible, worthy young man. I shall thank you to present him to any of your ac- quaintance of the Gmrt, that he may become known, as he deserves. I wrote you lately and requested you to file for me declarations in the cases of Long vs. Turk, and Garber vs. Humphreys. H you have not been able to render me this service, he will do it himself. I am, dear sir, very respectfully yours, Jas. Monroe. J. Lyle, Esq., Clerk of Staunton District Court. By Mr. Hansford. Charu>ttesville, 8th August, 1790. Dear Sir: The Justices of Pendleton County are desirous to remove their Clerk froo ofRce on account of his misconduct. The gentleman who bears this being m a hurry, and some of my Acts of the Assembly being loaned out and not able to command them, I have been able to find nothing on the subject but the clause in the Act of Government, page 35, putting the inspection of their conduct under the General Court and the District Court law, whereby it is transferred to the Districts. Perhaps there is nothing else on it. The mode of process is not designated, whether by motion or otherwise, but prestuoe there can be no other, and in that case, whether notice is to be given by those who made it, or a citation to be issued by the Clerk, citing him to appear to defend himself against a motion to that effect, stating the charges. As this is written within your line, shall thank you to attend to it and take such steps as you may think proper. Respectfully, I am, Jas. Monroe. Mr. Lyle, Clerk of the District Court at Staunton. Charlottesviue, 29th June, 1792. Dear Sir: You were so obliging as to undertake to speak to some suitable person in Staunton to make for me a light wagon, for two horses, for plantation use. on your return, may I request of you to drop me a line for Charlottesville informing whether you have been able to engage one, the terms, and the time it will be finished ; such as are used in the Northern States to carry the produce of a farm in, and not such as we employ to carry tobacco, &c., to market, is the kind I want. It should, however, for the kind, be strong, sound, well formed and the ironwork good. Very respectfully, I am, dear sir, your very humble servant, Jas. Monroe.

This affirmant then told Peter Piper that he could not hold the boy in slavery by the bill of sale, the law not being complied with in recording the boy, and in order to liberate the boy this deponent proceeded to search the records of Cumberland County (in which County the said negro boy was bom), and found he was not re- corded there, and on returning to the County where the boy was held, said affirmant effected the liberation of the said negro boy, according to the laws of Pennsylvania, and farther saith not.

The most of us can, and will (if called upon), undertake to declare on oath that Captain Long behaved himself at the Battles of Hot Water and Jamestown as a good soldier and a noble officer. As to his conduct at York we cannot pretend to say farther than from the most authentic accounts that we could collect he had not that fair play that a true citizen ought to have had. From which motives induces us to believe, and truly hope, your wor- ships will, when you come to look at the affair, reinstate him in his post, that we may continue our old rank, as we have ever been faithful subject*--, contributed every thing in our power for the benefit of the States, turned out cheerfully our quota of men on every occasion. Therefore, as your worships is the only door we are to go through to justice, humbly hope you will recommend him to his Excellency, the Go>'- emor, which will prevent us from falling from our old rank, to wit, the second in the Battalion to the youngest, and your petitioners shall, as in duty bound ever pray, &c &c.

Francis Long (who was broke for cowardice) in his former commis- sion. If so, I humbly conceive that the Court have exceeded their power, for they have only power by law, or the Constitution, to recommend, and I am persuaded (should that be the case) that it is without precedent that any ofllicer that has had a legal inquest by a court-martial and broke for cowardice should be recommended as fit to take command of a Company. I need not observe the ill consequences that will attend such a precedent, and therefore request, should such a proceeding have taken place, that the Court will please reconsider the matter and recommend some other fit person.
