Book Description
Excerpt from Old King William, Homes and Families: An Account of Some of the Old Homesteads and Families of King William County, Virginia, From Its Earliest Settlement This county was organized in 1701, its territory being taken from King and Queen, which in turn had been formed from a part of New Kent in 1691. New Kent was a part of the original Shire of York until 1654, the latter being one of the first divisions of the Colony set apart in 1634. In 1720 Spotsylvania County was formed from parts of King William, King and Queen, and Essex, and! in 1727 King William was again called on to surrender some of its territory when the new county of Caroline was organized. A history of King William would consequently be inseparable from that of all of these counties. The wide rivers, wooded hills, and broad savannas comprised within its limits attracted the attention of the early settlers, many of whom had sufficient influence to obtain extensive grants of land, and located their homes on the banks of the Pamunkey, York, and Mattapony rivers. The Indians lingered here until the beginning of the eighteenth century, . and some friendly ones long after. Indeed, there is a small remnant of the ancient Pamunkey Tribe still residing at Indian Town, near Sweet Hall, on a reservation set apart for their by the Colonial Government. Since this was written the owing account of the Pamunkeys appeared in the Baltimore American, which is, however, mainly taken from a report of the Smithsonian Institute by John Garland Pollard, of Richmond: They are the undoubted offspring of the old Powhatans still dwelling upon a part of their old hunting-grounds, and representing all that is left of the once powerful native confederacy that gave the early Virginia colonists so much trouble until expelled from J;1 estown region in the year 1644. Their progenitors possessed the land when Captain Newport, in 1607, founded Jamestown, the fir i permanent English settlement in North America. Consequently the present Pamunkeys are the veritable 'blue bloods' among all the Indians surviving to-day, and they form the largest remnant of the old Algonquin stock now to be found on the Atlantic coast.
