| Description |
The Glebe: Five miles north is the home of the rectors of Cople Parish, one of whom, Walter Jones, married Washington's parents, March 6, 1731. Here lived Thomas Smith, rector of the parish, 1764-1799, and chairman of the county Committee of Safety, 1775. He entertained Washington, May 25, 1771. The house is possibly the oldest in the Northern Neck. Bushfield: A mile and a half east. This was the home of John Augustine Washington, younger brother of George Washington, who visited here. Here was born, in 1762, Bushrod Washington, who became a justice of the United States Supreme Court in 1798, and died in 1829. He inherited Mount Vernon. Morgan Jones Kiln: The Morgan Jones Kiln, located 5.2 miles north of here, operated for a short time in 1677. According to Westmoreland County records, Morgan Jones and Dennis White entered into a partnership for the "making and selling of Earthen ware," which provided utilitarian pottery to setlers in the Chesapeake Bay area. An archaological excavation in 1973 uncovered Jones's kiln and fragments of his pottery, making available a valuable dating tool for the archaological sites in the Delmarva area. Since that time, many examples of his wares have been found in archaological sites across the Tidewater region. |
