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.

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.

Download or read book Myne Owne Ground written by T. H. Breen and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2005 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the earliest decades of Virginia history, some men and women who arrived in the New World as slaves achieved freedom and formed a stable community on the Eastern shore. Holding their own with white neighbors for much of the 17th century, these free blacks purchased freedom for family members, amassed property, established plantations, and acquired laborers. T.H. Breen and Stephen Innes reconstruct a community in which ownership of property was as significant as skin color in structuring social relations. Why this model of social interaction in race relations did not survive makes this a critical and urgent work of history.
Download or read book Loyalism in Revolutionary Virginia written by Adele Hast and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This study analyzes loyalism in a local setting, specifically in Virginia in the Eastern shore counties of Accomack and Northhampton, and at Norfolk Borough and its surrounding counties of Norfolk, Princess Anne, Isle of Wight, and Nansemond ... Local analysis of loyalism provides a new perspective on the importance of ideology in the American Revolution. Nonideological factors operated both in the behavior of loyalists and in the response of the patriots. Much activity which was labeled loyalist was based on self-serving, expedient motives ... Concerns for community stability and interpersonal harmony were often more important in determining the treatment of loyalists than was the nature of loyalist behavior or ideology"--Introduction.

Download or read book Colonial Chesapeake Society written by Lois Green Carr and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2015-05-18 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proof that the renaissance in colonial Chesapeake studies is flourishing, this collection is the first to integrate the immigrant experience of the seventeenth century with the native-born society that characterized the Chesapeake by the eighteenth century. Younger historians and senior scholars here focus on the everyday lives of ordinary people: why they came to the Chesapeake; how they adapted to their new world; who prospered and why; how property was accumulated and by whom. At the same time, the essays encompass broader issues of early American history, including the transatlantic dimension of colonization, the establishment of communities, both religious and secular, the significance of regionalism, the causes and effects of social and economic diversification, and the participation of Indians and blacks in the formation of societies. Colonial Chesapeake Society consolidates current advances in social history and provokes new questions.

Download or read book The Formation of a Society on Virginia s Eastern Shore 1615 1655 written by James R. Perry and published by UNC Press Books. 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.
