It appears to this committee that the petitioners were drafted from the militia of Culpeper to go to the frontiers near Pattison's Creek in Hampshire Co., under the command of Captain William Brown, and after being there some time in the winter season, and in want of necessaries, applied to their captain for leave to return home, who promised to discharge them if they would stay and build a fort, which the petitioners with the rest of the company finished, and at the end of 63 days returned home without any discharge from their captain.
Resolved, That the petitioners ought to be paid by the public for their said service,
The said resolution was read a second time and the question being put, that the House agree thereto, It passed in the negative.

Part 2, Pg.2-21: Organization of St. Marks Parish. (extract) Parish older than the county by 18 years, former established by Act of Assembly in 1730 and latter in 1748.
In 1692 old county of Rappahannock extinguished, its territory distributed into counties of Richmond on north and Essex on south, side of the Rappahannock River. Early in 18th Century settlement had passed the Falls of the Rappahannock and reached Rapid Ann River, where a colony of Germans had seated themselves, and Lt.-Gov. Spotswood had established a furnace. Over the new settlement a new county and parish were erected in 1720. ... 1732, mention of town of Germanna. ... In May, 1730, divided St. George's Parish by a line running "from the mouth of the Rapid Ann to the mouth of the Wilderness Run; thence up the said run to the bridge, and thence southward to the Pamunky River. All of the territory above that line to be called and known as St. Mark's Parish." Meeting 1 Jan. 1731 and elected "Goodrich Lightfoot, Henry Field, Francis Kirtly (not Huntley as in Bishop Meade's 'Old Churches, &c.'), William Peyton, James Barbour, Robert Slaughter," ... In 1730, Major G. Lightfoot was ordered to wait on Major John Taliaferro, to bring up the surplice for Germanna Church. ... Up to 1734-5, St. Mark's Parish was in Spotsylvania. At that date Spotsylvania was divided by the line between St. George's and St. Mark's Parishs. Spotsylvania was limited to St. George's Parish. All above that line, bounded southerly by old Hanover county, and to the north by the Lord Fairfax grant (the Rappahannock river), and westerly by the utmost limits of VA, was made the county of Orange. ... In 1738, Augusta and Frederick counties and parishes were separated from Orange and St. Mark's by a line from the head-spring of Hedgeman's River to the head-spring of the Potomac ... In 1740, St. Mark's was divided by a line from the Wilderness bridge up the mountain road, to the head of Russell Run; thence down the said run to the river Rapidan; thence up the Rapidan to the Robinson river; thence along the ridge between the Robinson and Rapidan to the top of the Blue Ridge. All north of said line to retain the name of St. Mark's, and all south of said bounds to be the new Parish of St. Thomas.
(1745) Captain Abraham Field chosen vestryman in place of F. Kirtley, removed, ... (1748) At this date Orange was divided, and the county of Culpeper (comprising what is now Madison, Rappahannock and Culpeper) was formed.
Part 2, Pg.11: Culpeper County. ... Lord Fairfax, who married the daughter of Lord Culpeper, became the proprietor of this princely domain, commonly known as the Northern Neck. (survey of Rapidan, 1733) ... deposition of John Taliaferro, gentleman, aged 49 years ... about 1707 came to live where he now lives above Snow Creek. (1751) Dr. Thomas Howison paid 1000 lbs tobacco for medical attendance on the poor, and Wm. Peyton 200 lbs tobacco for processioning lands.
1752. St. Mark's Parish is again divided by the Meander or Crooked Run, falling into the Robinson River, up to Col. John Spottswood's corner on that run, thence by his line, north 28 degrees east to Bloodsworth's road, then by a straight line to Crooked Run, a branch of the north fork of the Gourdvine River, where the main road called Duncan's, crosses the said run, thence by said run up to the head thereof; thence to the head of White Oak Run, thence by that run down to the North River. All below that line except so much as lies in the county of Orange, to be one distinct parish, and retain the name of St. Mark's; and all above said bounds, together with so much of St. Thomas as lies in Culpeper, which is hereby added to and made part of the same, by another distinct parish, and called Bromfield (see 6th Henning 256.). (mention of Freeman family).
1759. In February ... set apart 30 acres of Robert Coleman's land for town of Fairfax. (1762) Benjamin Roberts made church warden.
1776. Culpeper Co. was conspicuous for services of her sons in Revolution ... companies raised by the following captains: John Green, John Thornton, George Slaughter, Gabriel Long, Gabriel Jones, John Gillison, Captain McClanahan (a Baptist preacher), and Abraham Buford.

Typed copy of a Family Bible Record apparently torn from an old family bible written in ink, given to Eugenie Scott by her aunt Sarah "Sallie" Scott Richardson Hardin about 1920; Sarah "Sallie" Scott Hardin was the daughter of Samuel Scott and Sarah Wood Duncan (Eugenie Scott was the ancestor of Betty Schmidt who shared the record 3/2003; see Barren Co. KY)
Betty Schmidt information: Sallie Scott Hardin said in 1927 that Robert Duncan and Sarah Wood were married in Culpeper Courthouse. According to Sallie, the family estate (Duncan) was near Culpeper Courthouse, Culpeper Co. VA, and her earliest remembrances were of visiting "the big house" which was known as "Uncle Gallop's," who was probably Sallie's great-uncle.
