From the President “To promote the best interests of our citizens”

— Constitution of the Virginia Historical Society, 1831

With only a handful of examples to look to, the founders of the Virginia Historical Society gathered in the State Capitol to create the Commonwealth’s first cultural organization with the important purpose to “discover, procure, and preserve whatever may relate to the history of this state . . . to promote the best interests of our citizens.” With their charter established, the group immediately set out to secure strong leadership. Walking from the Capitol, the group arrived at the home of John Marshall, Chief Justice of the United States, who agreed to be chairman and then donated a copy of his biography of George Washington — the first item in our now nine-millionitem history collection (learn more on page 4).

Thirty-eight others have followed in Marshall’s footsteps in the nearly two centuries since his passing — a remarkable tradition of benevolent leadership.

With the arrival of 2019 came another addition to this distinguished group, and the beginning of another new chapter for the historical society. Dr. John R. Nelson, after three years of exemplary service as chair, including nearly a year as interim CEO, passed the baton to a new chair, Charles L. Cabell, and vice chair, Dr. Pamela Kiecker Royall. Jack leaves his post having fostered great progress and the organization stronger than he found it — with a new and inspiring vision and an ambitious new strategic plan.

I hope you will join me in recognizing Jack for his passion and dedication, and in similarly acknowledging the generosity of Charles and Pam for their willingness to lead us forward as we continue to promote the best interests of our citizens. These are exciting times for a storied institution.

Thank you, as always, for your support,

A Connected Legacy John Marshall and George Washington

by William M. S. Rasmussen, Senior Curator of Exhibitions

oth the first object acquired by the Virginia Historical Society and arguably one of the best objects in the collection are tied to a special relationship that existed between John Marshall and George Washington. The first object is a copy of Marshall’s biography of Washington.

The other is the diary that President Washington kept in 1790 – 91 during his first term.

The story of the first object has often been told.

In 1831, when concerned Virginians created a “society” to preserve the records of their illustrious predecessors who had helped found the nation, they elected as the institution’s president a Founding Father. In gratitude, John Marshall presented the society a copy of his biography, The Life of George Washington, inscribed by the author “to the Virginia Historical and Philosophical Society.”

4 | Virginia History & Culture

The story of how the best object was acquired has largely been forgotten. Institutional records reveal that in 1859 it was given by James K. Marshall.

How did he acquire it? James K. Marshall was one of John Marshall’s five sons. Trained as a banker, he served as executor of his father’s complex will. John Marshall had accumulated considerable wealth and property. In settling the estate, James K. Marshall probably came upon Washington’s diary among his father’s possessions. But how did John Marshall come to own it?

No one in public life was closer to George Washington in his final years than was John Marshall, who praised him in 1797— o n the president’s retirement — a s “the greatest man on earth.” Two years later, it was Marshall who announced the news of George Washington’s death in Congress and gave the nation’s memorial address there. Marshall also chaired the committee that made Washington’s funeral arrangements, and he headed the committee to plan a Washington Monument in the capital.

The bond between Washington and the Marshall family had been formed through Thomas Marshall, John’s father. Childhood neighbors in northern Virginia who briefly attended school together, both became surveyors employed by Thomas, Lord Fairfax, both served in the House of Burgesses, and they fought together during the Revolutionary War. In 1775, Thomas Marshall raised a unit of Virginia state militia that formed a portion of the famed Culpeper Minutemen. At age 19, John Marshall joined his father in that service.

The Minutemen were absorbed into George Washington’s Continental Army. John Marshall rose from the rank of lieutenant to captain in the 11th Virginia Regiment (1776 – 1780). He served alongside Washington at Valley Forge, and he participated with Washington in the Revolutionary War battles of Brandywine and Germantown in Pennsylvania, and Monmouth in New Jersey. Influenced by those wartime experiences, John Marshall — l ike George Washington — r ecognized the need for a strong

central government and they became members of the Federalist party. In 1798, newly retired President Washington, long impressed by his fellow soldier and Federalist friend, convinced John Marshall to run for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, which Marshall won.

In 1801, President John Adams nominated his loyal Federalist supporter to become chief justice of the Supreme Court. Fellow justice Bushrod Washington, a nephew of George Washington, became Marshall’s close friend.

In 1802, Bushrod inherited his uncle’s home, Mount Vernon, along with his uncle’s voluminous papers. He planned to write a biography of Washington based upon those documents, but soon he gave up so herculean a task.

So, he asked John Marshall to assume the responsibility.

How do you write a 3,200-page, five-volume biography while serving as chief justice? On joining the Supreme Court, Marshall spent three months each year boarding in Washington during the court’s annual term. He also traveled several weeks to serve on the circuit court in Raleigh, North Carolina. He had to examine trunk-loads of the Washington papers, which must have been delivered to him, probably to both his Richmond home and his summer house in Fauquier County. On one occasion, Marshall confessed to his publisher, “under the pressure of constant application the spring of the mind loses its elasticity.”

Nonetheless, he persevered, beginning in 1801 and finishing the fifth volume five years later.

Apparently, the diary was not included in the trunk-loads of papers returned to Mount Vernon.

The last chapter in this story is documented by a trail of letters. In the 1850s, the location of the diary was known to historians. In April 1859, John Reuben Thompson, editor of the Southern Literary Messenger, wrote James K. Marshall on behalf of Edward Everett, a distinguished New England writer and orator. Thompson, a resident of Richmond and New York City, worked with a number of accomplished writers, including Edgar Allan Poe and William Gilmore Simms. Everett was a staunch supporter of efforts to preserve Mount Vernon, and he would publish in 1860 his Life of George Washington. In 1859, he was contributing articles about the house and its owner to the New York Ledger and donating the profits from those articles to the preservation of Mount Vernon. For that purpose, Thompson asked Marshall to permit Everett “to make use of the m[anu]s[cript] diary of Washington in your possession.”

Marshall obliged Thompson’s request. A month later, Everett wrote a note of thanks, adding that “the ‘Diary’ came safely to hand” and that “very soon” he would ship it back to Virginia. In the meantime, John C. Hamilton of New York, another prominent historian and biographer, and the son of Alexander Hamilton, requested and was granted examination of the diary. The book returned to Virginia, and in December of 1859, James K. Marshall donated it to the Virginia Historical Society. According to society records, the gift was transacted “through the courtesy of John C. Hamilton, New York.” The younger Marshall had been prompted to action by this trio of southern and northern historians — Thompson, Everett, and Hamilton — w ho were inspired by the memory of the first president.

Sadly, less than two years later, the nation that George Washington had brought together during his presidencies was torn apart by the Civil War. Stories like this one — i nteresting and important— await your discovery in the comprehensive exhibition now on view, John Marshall: Hidden Hero of National Union. This show chronicles the long and illustrious career of the Founding Father who fought for independence, served in all three branches of the federal government, and established for the Supreme Court the powers that it retains today.

New to the Collection United States Colored Troops Muster Rolls

T

he Virginia Historical Society was fortunate to recently purchase at auction a rare set of eleven muster rolls for the 30th U.S. Colored Troops (USCT) while camped at Petersburg, Virginia, from June 30 to August 31, 1864.

Organized at Camp Stanton in Benedict, Maryland, in February 1864, the 30th USCT served in spring campaigns in Virginia and marched with the Army of the Potomac into the Wilderness, where the regiment distinguished itself during one of the bloodiest engagements of the Civil War. Although nearly half of the war’s battles were fought in and around the Petersburg-Richmond area,

the organized push to capture Petersburg came in the late spring and early summer of 1864. The early June attempt to capture the city failed, resulting in a stalemate that evolved into trench warfare.

The 30th USCT was engaged in constructing fortifications during much of the siege; however, on July 30, when the Union army set off a massive explosion under the Confederate line, the regiment played a significant and gallant role in what became known as the battle of the Crater. In late 1864 and early 1865, the 30th USCT participated in campaigns in North Carolina, including

actions at Fort Fisher, Sugar Loaf Hill, Cox Bridge, and Wilmington.

The 30th remained in North Carolina until it mustered out of service in December 1865.

The muster rolls provide valuable information on the men of the 30th, most of whom were from the Eastern Shore. Many have remarks beside their names, particularly if they were sick, wounded, or killed. As was typical, a significant number of men were out sick.

Company “A” lists 34 on duty, 25 sick, 4 killed in action, and 4 missing in action. In addition, many of those listed as “sick” were likely the wounded at Petersburg. These rolls will serve as an extraordinary research tool, revealing the names and service of those who fought bravely, and some who gave their “last full measure of devotion.”

A Partnership for History Virginia Holocaust Museum & VMHC

of

VIOLINS

One survived the horrors of Dachau and Auschwitz; another is dedicated to a brother and sister who played concerts in the ghetto of Vilna; and a third recalls the powerful attraction of a klezmer band to a young boy who escaped Eastern Europe and would later open a violin shop in Israel. These are but a few of the stories of resilience and survival told through more than sixty masterfully restored musical instruments known collectively as The Violins of Hope.

Through a partnership between the VMHC and the Virginia Holocaust Museum, these violins will travel to Central Virginia in April 2020, where they will be featured in complimentary exhibitions at each venue and played at several concerts throughout the region. These violins survived concentration camps, pogroms (an organized massacre of a particular ethnic group), and many long journeys before coming to Virginia where they provide a powerful warning against intolerance.

Centennial Commemoration Veterans Day Veterans Day weekend marked the last of the museum’s major public programs commemorating the 100th anniversary of World War I’s armistice. Over the course of three days, 120 veterans and activeduty service members visited the museum for free through the generosity of The Boeing Company.

On Sunday, November 11, guests participated in a number of activities. Following a moment of silence held on the “eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month,” museum staff conducted tours of the centennial commemoration exhibition, The Commonwealth and the Great War, helped young guests make patriotic crafts and remembrance poppies, and provided stories and statements from Virginia veterans underscoring the role played by commonwealth residents in military conflicts throughout our nation’s history.

Guests were also treated to free screenings of Sgt. Stubby: An American Hero, an animated, feature-length film, that tells the true story of a dog who served bravely during the war in France.

Remembering Their Service Abroad Centennial Sojourn to France

More than 100,000 Virginians traveled abroad in service to the United States military and our nation’s substantial commitment to end World War I. To mark the centennial of the 1918 armistice and to remember the incredible sacrifice of those Virginians, a group of twenty-two historical society supporters from across the commonwealth visited some of the most important and relevant sites, monuments, battlefields, and cemeteries in northern France over the course of eight days. The graves of Virginia soldiers at the American cemeteries outside Paris and the decisive MeuseArgonne battle were visited, as well as famous sites related to Sergeant York and the Lost Battalion.

The delegation viewed the memorial site to Henry Gunther — the last American to be killed in combat just seconds before the armistice went into effect on November 11, 1918, at 11:00 a.m. The small French town of Chaumont-devant-Damvillers erected a monument to Gunther and has cared for it for many years. During a brief ceremony, trustees Susan S. Goode of Norfolk and Nancy H. Gottwald of Richmond presented an American flag to local Mayor.

The flag, which was ceremonially flown over the Virginia State Capitol before the delegation’s trip, was given to replace the weather-beaten American flag above Gunther’s monument. The ceremony, which took place on the front steps of the town hall, was a reminder of the many lasting and meaningful connections between the French and American people, and a world conflict with lasting impact.

New Exhibition Oh, Shenandoah: Landscapes of Diversity Explore the history and beauty of the Shenandoah Valley through 52 plein air paintings by artist Andrei Kushnir.

On display through September 1, 2019 in the Susan and David Goode Gallery.

14 | Virginia History & Culture

An Artist’s Perspective Interview with Andrei Kushnir variety of landscape subject matter, unusual compositions, and sites that challenged me as an artist.

Some works, such as the large Red Banks and the South Fork, Warren County paintings, needed many weeks of effort on site; other paintings, such as Henrietta Furnace (painted as raindrops fell) and Mauck’s Meeting House (dusk approaching fast) had to be created in a matter of minutes, requiring me to make immediate decisions and use suggestive, loose brushwork.

Why did you choose the Valley as your subject?

I painted the Valley from Skyline Drive for many years as an artist member of the Front Royal Blue Ridge Arts Council. The scenic views originally attracted me to the Valley.

Then I met a former Valley resident, historian Jeffrey Everett, who suggested I seek out places, often equally picturesque, with cultural or historical associations. After a great deal of thought, and once I painted a few of them, I was hooked! Even after 263 paintings over 11 years, I have scarcely touched upon the visual treasures of the Shenandoah.

I also discovered that, while the Valley was painted by many fine artists, no one had undertaken a project to depict the varied imagery of the entire Valley. So I

set out to capture it as it is in the early part of the 21st century, much as other artists have done with specific regions in their eras, such as Thomas Cole and the Catskill Mountains in New York, Monet and Normandy, Van Gogh and Arles, and Daniel Garber and the Delaware Valley.

How did you decide what sites to paint?

Apart from the scenic spots, small towns, and historic and cultural locales, I also painted places where I liked to eat and relax.

Historians Jeff Everett and Warren Hofstra, and the publisher of Oh, Shenandoah, George F. Thompson, often guided me to interesting locations mainly known to local residents. I was looking for a

What did you learn from the experience of painting the Valley?

I learned that time is fleeting (the Shenandoah County Alms House burned shortly after I painted there) and that I should not seek second chances — only additional opportunities. Also, that regrets are pointless, and to enjoy the moment.

What do you want viewers to take away from your paintings?

Visitors will be able to share my experience and impressions of the Great Valley. Every painting combines a process of observation, editing, and enthusiasm for the subject. I loved every moment of it, and I hope viewers will feel many of the same emotions that coursed through me.

Pocahontas Symposium Her Life, Legend, and Legacy

Few figures from America’s past are better known, and perhaps misunderstood, than the young Powhatan woman who has come down to us as “Pocahontas.”

Her international fame began in her own lifetime and has endured for more than 400 years. Last November, nearly three hundred guests engaged in a lively discussion with a distinguished panel of Virginia Indian tribal leaders, scholars, and public historians.

During this half-day symposium in the Robins Family Forum, they discussed what Pocahontas has come to represent as a cross-cultural ambassador, the role of religion and faith in her story, and the myths and realities that surround her. The VHMC was honored to provide a forum for an honest discussion and is grateful for the support of the 2019 Commemoration, American Evolution, who cosponsored this program.

Preserving Virginia House A New Chapter Change is in the air at Virginia House, the magnificent English Tudor home presented to the Virginia Historical Society in 1929 by diplomat and former historical society chairman Alexander Weddell and his wife, Virginia. The couple purchased the house at a demolition sale in 1925 and had it dismantled in England and partially rebuilt in Richmond.

The Weddells retained lifetime tenancy under an agreement with the historical society and resided at Virginia House until 1948 when they were tragically killed in an out-of-town train accident.

In recent years, Virginia House’s focus has been on intermittent house tours and events — a role that has not made the best use of the site and never garnered the public attention this unique property deserves.

As such, in 2017 the board of the historical society approved a plan to give new life and purpose to Virginia House — a focus on public programs, community engagement, member stewardship, and private events.

After all, the Weddells’ vision for the site was for it to be of greatest use to the historical society’s progress.

They originally thought it would serve as the society’s headquarters office and library before it acquired its property on the Boulevard. As a first step toward this new focus for the house, select renovations to the site were completed — new accessible restrooms were installed and a new outdoor event space was created.

In order to be the best possible stewards of the site and the items bequeathed to the historical society by the Weddells, the society also recently completed a practice undertaken by nearly all collecting museums.

They thoughtfully reviewed the objects on display and in storage at Virginia House and deaccessioned materials that were unrelated to its mission or otherwise not needed to interpret the home (for decades, large amounts of excess furniture and other items have been in storage). This process allowed for the reduction of their holdings to a size they can both provide best care for and make available to the public. Though Virginia House will remain full of interesting art and artifacts from the Weddells, 20 | Virginia History & Culture

some sensitive items will be moved to secure and climatecontrolled storage at the Virginia Museum of History & Culture.

Other items will be sold at public auction, allowing for the establishment of a restricted fund for the future preservation of the historic structure and landscape features and the future acquisition and care of collections used to interpret the house.

Virginia House will remain regularly accessible to members and the public through special programs and events. Please check the calendar for upcoming occasions.

Above: Virginia House in the spring; Right: This 17th-century English suit of armor is one of the many treasures in the Virginia House collection that remains on display (Va House 1948.w.230.1-2).

The Weddell Society A Legacy of Support The Virginia Historical Society announced a new name for their group of generous supporters who have made a provision for the society in their estate plans: The Weddell Society.

Formally known as the Virginia Heritage Registry, this new name honors two significant people in this venerable institution’s history, Virginia and Alexander Weddell. Upon their death, they bequeathed Virginia House and an endowment to benefit the society’s long-term viability.

Virginia and Alexander Weddell also played important roles in our state and nation’s history. In addition to serving as the society’s chairman, he was an American diplomat, serving as United States ambassador to Argentina and Spain. She was an active community volunteer at home as well as in the Red Cross while the couple resided in Spain. Virginia House, their beautiful home along the banks of the James River, was a lovely

setting for their diverse charitable and public service efforts. Today, their extraordinary generosity has an impressive impact.

The society proudly acknowledges the members of the Weddell Society with appreciation for their foresight and generosity. Their commitment helps the institution strategically plan for the next century, just as the Weddell’s did nearly a century ago.

If you have designated a gift to the Virginia Historical Society in your will, trust, retirement plan, or life insurance policy, please share so your legacy and your passion for history can be celebrated.

A Life Rediscovered The Story of Emily Winfree

by Dr. Jan Meck & Virginia Refo, VMHC Volunteers

T

he names of some Virginians roll off the tongue of Americans like water. More than 900 books have been written about our first president, who has a profound legacy in our state and our nation.

But the stories of lesser-known Virginians are important as well. There are many who never knew fame or acquired fortunes yet persevered against overwhelming odds. They also left legacies in the form of their descendants who have benefited from and built upon their tenacity. Emily Winfree is one such individual. Winfree, an African American woman who lived through slavery, the Civil War, Reconstruction, and Jim Crow, never gave up, always kept her family together, and ultimately prevailed.

22 | Virginia History & Culture

The name of Emily Winfree became known to Richmonders in 2002, when a small cottage in Manchester was about to be torn down to enlarge a parking lot. This structure was the sole survivor of hundreds of similar homes built during Reconstruction. The Association for the Conservation of Richmond Neighborhoods (which no longer exists) realized the cottage’s historical importance and managed to rescue it at the last minute. Having found no permanent home, today “Winfree’s Cottage” sits on a trailer below Interstate-95 adjacent to the site of Lumpkin’s Jail in Richmond’s Shockoe Bottom neighborhood. The cottage was said to be the home of Emily Winfree, given to her after the Civil War by farmer and physician David Winfree who was Emily’s former owner and father of several of her children.

Emily’s story begins about 1834 when she was born into slavery. The earliest mention of her is in an 1857 estate inventory made after the death of her owner, Jordan Branch. Branch was a prominent attorney and sheriff in Petersburg, as well as brother-in-law and first cousin of David Winfree. Emily is listed as a 20-yearold woman along with her one-year-old daughter Mariah. On December 28, 1858, Emily and Mariah were sold together at auction for $1,025 to A. B. Hutchinson. Although David did not acquire Emily and Mariah at that sale, by July 1860 he owned them as well as Emily’s second daughter, Elizabeth. It is uncertain who fathered Mariah and Elizabeth, but David Winfree would have had the opportunity to interact with Emily while she was owned by Branch.

Emily Winfree’s story is important. She was the embodiment of the strength of character it took to face the struggles of her time and place.

Several articles appeared in Richmond newspapers and magazines, but many of the facts were incorrect or unsubstantiated. Some incorrectly reported that David Winfree was the father of all of Emily’s children while others described the house as 700 square feet, when in fact it is less than 500. Emily was reported to have lived in half of the house and rented out the other half, but actually there were two structures on the original property. Emily’s story was never methodically researched and documented. Now we can tell the story of Emily Winfree with greater certainty.

In 1860, Emily and the two girls lived at David Winfree’s farm in Chesterfield County.

They remained there throughout the Civil War, and by March 1865, Emily had two more children, Walter David and James Wiley (who shared David’s father’s name). In June 1864, David joined Company G, 1st Regiment (Fairnholt’s) Virginia Reserves as the Confederacy made a last-ditch effort to defend Richmond. By December, he was admitted to an army hospital. Diagnosed with “syphilitic rheumatism of long standing,” he was furloughed and subsequently discharged. As a physician, David likely knew he was terminally ill and began getting his affairs in order. In February 1865, he put his farm up for auction, but it did not sell. In 1866, David took measures to provide for Emily and her five children — Henry had been born that year. He purchased a lot and buildings in Manchester and gave her a 109.5-acre parcel out of his farm. He granted her exclusive rights to these properties and named a trustee to look after Emily’s interests. On March 20, 1867, David Winfree died.

We will never know the true relationship between David and Emily. Although they were father and mother, they were not husband and wife, but rather slaveowner and enslaved. What emotions did she have upon his death? Did she grieve? For the rest of her life, she and others called her Mrs. Winfree, although there is no record of their marriage, which would have been highly unlikely. Regardless of her legal status, David had been her only means of support, and his death left her in dire straits.

She had five small children, was functionally illiterate, and had only domestic work available to her.

After David’s death, Emily struggled for the rest of her life to provide for her family and keep them together.

Like tens of thousands of formerly enslaved African Americans, she received rations from the federal relief agency known as the Freedman’s Bureau in 1867 and 1868. She received some rental income from the property in Manchester, where research shows that “Winfree’s Cottage” was one of two structures — one 24 | Virginia History & Culture

serving as Emily’s residence and the other being rented to tenants. In 1867, she cut and sold timber from her farm in Chesterfield County and built a house on the property. She moved there for a time, but by 1870, she returned to Manchester, possibly for better employment opportunities. Census records show that she worked as a domestic servant and records from the Freemason’s Manchester Lodge #14 state that she was also their cook for thirtythree years. Emily’s oldest child Mariah stayed with the younger children while her mother worked.

Emily later had two more children, Clifford and Lucy, whose father(s) remain unknown. As the children grew, they also worked, mostly at unskilled jobs, but Clifford and Lucy eventually became teachers. The family stayed close to one another in Manchester.

Eventually, Emily sold both of her properties and moved with several of her children to a larger house on Stockton Street in Manchester, where she lived until her death in 1919. She is buried in Richmond’s Maury Cemetery with five of her children.

Genealogical research resulted in the discovery of many living descendants of Emily Winfree now residing in New Jersey, Maryland, Lynchburg, and Midlothian.

They are descendants of Emily’s oldest child, Mariah, and her youngest, Lucy. Among them are a

concert pianist, a star athlete,

several engineers and PhDs,

a Library of Congress

librarian, a disc jockey, and,

like two of Emily’s children,

many teachers. Family

members were invited to

the VMHC to remember their

twenty-three of them visited

and enjoyed a welcome by

President & CEO Jamie

Bosket, a presentation of the

about Emily Winfree, and a

story unfolded.

mily Winfree’s story is important. She was the E embodiment of the strength of character it took to face the struggles of her time and place. Her family and the VMHC have a keen interest in seeing that “Winfree’s Cottage” finds a permanent home and is restored, so that it may serve as a testament to Emily and to the millions of African American women who experienced similar struggles, whose stories will never be told, whose names have been lost, and who should not be forgotten.

News & Notes Unknown No Longer

Teacher Summit On October 19th, 200 K-12 educators, along with Atif Qarni, Virginia’s Secretary of Education, were welcomed into the building as part of a day-long professional development opportunity held by the Virginia Department of Education to discuss implementation of new History and Social Studies Standards of Learning.

Virginia Museum Advocacy Day The Virginia Historical Society launched Unknown No Longer in 2011 with support from Dominion Energy to make accessible biographical details of enslaved Virginians from unpublished historical records in the society’s collections. Since that time, the site has provided researchers with the ability to discover information on ancestors not found in other sources. Now through an exciting partnership, the unique content of Unknown No Longer will join a similar resource at the Library of Virginia creating an even greater public resource. Visit VirginiaHistory.org/UNL to learn more about this exciting partnership.

Pocahontas Webinar In December, our education staff hosted two HistoryConnects webinars called Pocahontas: Her Life and Legend. These webinars gave students the chance to examine historical evidence of Pocahontas’ life and compare those accounts with legends created after her death. During these sessions we connected with more than 2,200 students (a new record) in Virginia and the United Kingdom!

A great morning with our CCES students participating in a global webinar on Pocahontas! Connections with fellow learners here in VA and across the pond in England!

On February 7, the VMHC hosted museum professionals from across the Commonwealth and state legislators for their annual event with the Virginia Association of Museums to award conservation grants to winners of VAM’s Top 10 Endangered Artifacts program.

Bosket named as one of Style Weekly’s Top 40 Under 40 In October 2018, President & CEO Jamie Bosket was named one of Richmond’s 40 Under 40 — a list of 40 locals under the age of 40 who have made a positive impact on the community.

Spotlight on Research Daniel Livesay, Ph.D. In October, the Library welcomed Daniel Livesay to conduct research on his next book. Dr. Livesay was awarded one of our Andrew W. Mellon Research Fellowships for 2018. The research fellowship program now is in its 30th year, and we have supported more than 750 scholars with nearly 1,000 awards over that span.

Dr. Livesay received his Ph.D. in history from the University of Michigan and currently teaches at Claremont McKenna College in California. His first book was Children of Uncertain Fortune: MixedRace Jamaicans in Britain and the Atlantic Family, 1733 – 1839, published in 2018 by the University of North Carolina Press.

PRESENTED BY

28 | Virginia History & Culture

Dr. Livesay’s current project examines the experience of elderly enslaved people in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by comparing records in two regions, Jamaica and the Chesapeake Bay area.

As Livesay noted, “In old age, enslaved individuals acted as historians, midwives, religious figures, and social leaders, as well as fulfilled a host of other positions. They were also considered to be the most trusted laborers on an estate, and their continued health served as a source of pride for enslavers. Thus, not only did unfree African Americans continue to act as vital members of the community in advanced age, but they also fit into a colonial and early national discourse about the morality and conduct of enslavement.”

Livesay also pointed out that scholars have paid too little attention to elderly slaves — a neglect that he is correcting. We look forward to reading the product of his work.
