Download or read book We Were Always Free written by T. O. Madden and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like many other southern free Negro families originating in the colonial era (when many whites, women, as well as men were subject to servitude), the family of T. O. Madden, Jr., began with the birth in 1758 of his great-great-grandmother Sarah Madden. She is one of the two ancestors to whom he dedicates this book. Sarah's mother, Mary Madden, contributed the surname that endured. Mary Madden was an Irishwoman who had probably immigrated as a servant a few years before Sarah's birth. Although the myths of Virginia would make every colonial who was white into an aristocrat, Mary Madden, like most eighteenth-century Virginians, was indigent. But unlike many others, she was free. Of Sarah Madden's father, nothing is known. The legal definition of mixed-race children of blacks and whites had been settled in 1662, when the Virginia legislature enacted laws prohibiting interracial marriages and declaring that children followed the status of their mother. Such legislation made children like Sarah Madden free, but illegitimate.

Wulfeck, Pub. 1965, Reprinted 2018, 198 pages, Index, soft cover, ISBN #0-89308-791-2. Culpeper was created in 1749 from Orange county which in turn was created from Spotsylvania which was created from Essex. This volume includes the abstracts of Wills from 1770-1791 and the index for book "G" 1813-1817. Book "G" is lost so the index to the original book will help place an individual in the county at a given time frame. The reader will also discover abstracts of Old Miscellaneous Papers 1827-1870 which were discovered in the Clerk's office. Also included are Court Suits from 1815-1839, along with some Tombstone Inscriptions.

Download or read book African Americans in Culpeper Orange Madison and Rappahannock Counties written by Terry L Miller, GWCRHSAA and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2019 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fourth president of the United States, James Madison, and his wife, Dolley, stamped their influence throughout Culpeper, Orange, Madison, and Rappahannock Counties with their plantation, Montpelier, and the enslaved men and women who supported them. One of those enslaved men, Paul Jennings, whose sons later became Union soldiers during the Civil War, penned his memoir in 1865. The legacy of slavery undergirds the region, and its ravages are undeniably on the faces of minority residents. The Civil War also has a footprint throughout the region; one example is the Battle of Cedar Mountain where, more than 85 years later, the first regional high school for minority children was built. Celebrants include World War I veteran Newman Nighten Gibson, of the 370th Infantry; Nannie Helen Burroughs, who founded a school for African American girls in Washington, DC; and Edna Lewis, who became a master chef in New York in her 30s and later was honored by the US Postal Service on a forever stamp.

Book excerpt: Renowned for his biting satires of politics, government, money, and other chimeras, Hoppe here takes a fresh stab at world events while bringing a skewering wit to his own life in journalism.
