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 Frederick County Road Orders 1743 1772 written by Gene Luckman and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The road history projects undertaken by the Virginia Transportation Research Council establish the feasibility of studies of early road networks and their use in the environmental review process. These projects, by gathering and publishing the early road orders of the vast parent counties, also lay the foundation for additional research by local groups over a broad area of Virginia. This volume marks the twenty-third entry in the Historic Roads of Virginia series, first initiated by the Virginia Transportation Research Council (then the Virginia Highway & Transportation Research Council) in 1973. Frederick County Road Orders 1743-1772 expands the coverage of early western Virginia transportation records begun in the previously published Orange County Road Orders 1734-1749 and Augusta County Road Orders 1745-1769. This information will eliminate the need for further research into the Frederick County road order records of 1743-1772. If questions arise about early roads once a VDOT road improvement project is already underway (or nearly underway), primary historical research of this nature can take six to twelve months to complete. Therefore, this study can be a source of potentially significant cost savings for VDOT, including both the avoided costs of project delays and avoided consultant costs for cultural resource studies should questions arise.

Download or read book A Brief History of the Roads of Virginia 1607 1840 written by Nathaniel Mason Pawlett and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume consists of what was originally intended as the introductory chapters of the Albemarle road history. Since most readers are probably unfamiliar with the history of roads in Virginia, it was thought proper to devote the first section of that work to a sketch of the development of road transportation here up to the coming of the period of intense railroad development in the nineteenth century. At the suggestion of several of the people who read the first draft, and in-the interest of increasing the utility of this particular section, a separate publication was decided upon. The author hopes that this brief sketch will help to place development of the roads of Albemarle, as well as those of the other counties, within the larger context of the development of Virginia's roads, and that it will simultaneously provide some understanding of the varied and often conflicting forces which shaped transportation policy at the colonial and state levels.

Download or read book A Survey of Early Virginia Road Stones written by Ann Brush Miller and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Virginia law of 1738 required that all crossroads be marked by posts of directions. Most of these signs were made of wood and have not survived. But some roads in Virginia featured more permanent forms of markers: directional signs and mileposts made of stone. This practice continued until the early 20th century, and a few late markers were rendered in concrete. Use of these markers died out around the 1920s, when standardized highway signs began to appear. A few early stone highway markers still survive in their original locations. Some stones were moved by well-intentioned individuals or groups attempting to preserve or protect the stones against real or perceived threats. Other stones were moved by souvenir hunters or by people seeking building or landscaping stone. Many more were lost because of intentional vandalism or simply because their significance was not recognized or appreciated. Research carried out by the Virginia Transportation Research Council identified more than 40 early road stones and related cultural resources. This report brings the survey data together in a single publication. The information in this volume will provide readily accessible information on the general history of this resource type, as well as data on the extant early road stones, milestones, and related objects in Virginia. Having this information available will benefit and facilitate cultural resource research relating to projects in the vicinity of these resources and will prevent project delays that might be caused by a lack of this information. Virginia Department of Transportation personnel and consultants will save numerous hours by having the information at hand. A very conservative estimate of the cost savings to the Virginia Department of Transportation in personnel time, avoided consultant costs, and avoided project delays is between $10,000 and $20,000 per year, or between $50,000 and $100,000 over a 5-year period.

Download or read book Culpeper County Road Orders 1763 1764 written by Ann Brush Miller and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The establishment and maintenance of public roads were among the most important functions of the county court during the colonial period in Virginia. Each road was opened and maintained by an overseer (or surveyor) of the highways, who was appointed each year by the Gentlemen Justices. The overseer was usually assigned all the able-bodied men (the "Labouring Male Tithables") living on or near the road. These laborers then furnished their own tools, wagons, and teams and were required to work on the roads for six days each year. County court records relating to roads and transportation are collectively known as "road orders." The Virginia Transportation Research Council's published volumes of road orders and related materials contain not only information on early roads, but also the names of inhabitants who lived and worked along the roadways, plantations, farms, landmarks, landforms, and bodies of water. At its creation from Orange County in 1749, Culpeper County comprised most of the region between the Rapidan and Rappahannock rivers: the present counties of Culpeper, Madison and Rappahannock. From this territory would be cut the counties of Madison (created in 1793) and Rappahannock (1833), leaving the remainder of Culpeper County at its present boundaries. The Culpeper Court Minute Books for most of the 18th century were destroyed during the Civil War. The partial Minute Book for the years 1763-1764 is the only Court Minute Book to survive for the period when the territory of Culpeper County was at its largest extent. The road orders contained within this volume constitute the sole transportation-related court orders surviving for Culpeper County during this period.

The road orders contained in this volume cover the period from the creation of Orange County from Spotsylvania in 1734 through the creation of Culpeper County from Orange in 1748-49. As such, they are the principal extant evidence concerning the early road development of a vast area of the Virginia Piedmont and of the Valley, stretching as far as the New River near Blacksburg in Montgomery County.
