Rivah (‘riv-â), n. [der. river]:
1. the lands and waters
of the Northern Neck
and Middle Peninsula of
Virginia, USA, particularly
favored by urban dwellers
for spring, summer and fall
escapes. 2. a region in these
peninsulas bound by the
Chesapeake Bay and the
Rappahannock, Potomac
and York rivers, inclusive.
adj.– rivah: reflecting an
attitude indicative of the
abundantly pleasant lifestyle
in this area.
W
e love to find a bargain, stumble upon a Coach purse for a
few bucks or spot real diamond earrings in the thrift store
jewelry case. So with back-to-school shopping in mind, we
sent reporter Renss Greene trolling for treasures on the new
Northumberland County Shopping Trail. There are oyster trails,
artisan trails, wine trails and now a trail for those thrifty shoppers
among us. Follow the trail for happy hunting.
Fall is fast approaching and with it comes festival time in
Rivah country. Visit Mathews for its Market Days celebration or
Westmoreland County for Montross Fall Festival or Richmond
County for Warsaw Fest. They all come with good food, good
music and family fun. For brats, beer and, yes, more family fun,
attend an Oktoberfest, done the Rivah country way. Reporter
Audrey Thomasson fills us in on how the Northern Neck and
Middle Peninsula celebrate an age-old German tradition.
Despite fall’s fast approach, the weather is still warm enough
for boating, biking, hiking and fishing. So keep taking pictures of
fun at the river and email them to us. And keep supporting the
businesses that make this guide possible.

Urbanna Founder’s Day Celebration set for Sept. 5
URBANNA—The 2nd annual
Urbanna Founder’s Day Celebration will be held Saturday, September 5, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. It
will be an event for family, fun
and history.
This year’s Founder’s Day focus
is based on the establishment of
The Scottish Factor Store on Virginia Street, built in 1766 by John
Gordon. The program includes
a living history presentation at
1 p.m. on the stage behind the
Scottish Factor Store. The audience will experience a trip back
to 1768 to witness a typical day at
the store.
The factor, James Mills, will
be played by local resident Dave
Stutzman, while other characters in the drama will represent
the Middlesex County Museum
and Historical Society and the
Deltaville Maritime Museum.
Living history presentation
author and director Barbara
Lovelace promises some lively
action, some controversy, and a
look at how the store functioned.
The presentation will end with
a dedication of a portrait of one
of Urbanna’s 18th-century founders and prominent citizens, John
Gordon, whose portrait is a gift
to the community arranged by the
late Dan Gill. And, as it happens,
John Gordon himself, represented
by Kevin Gentry, will participate
in the dedication.
Children will again enjoy the
Moody Crewe Pirates for Pirate
School, where they will be taught
how to walk a plank, tie nautical
knots, learn a pirate song, and how
to speak like a pirate.
People may bring lawn chairs
or blankets to sit and enjoy an
outdoor concert by the York River
Concert Band at 11 a.m.
A 2:30 p.m. trolley tour of historic spots in town is planned with
town historian and author Larry
Chowning serving as tour guide
(see related story).
Local best-selling mystery
author Brad Parks will again be
the Colonial Town Crier, guiding
citizens and guests to each special
event of the day. Colonial interpreters and Revolutionary War
soldier re-enactors will add to the
day’s colonial flavor.
The day will have a second
focus, too, featuring the Middlesex
County Library, which started as
the Urbanna Library 100 years
ago. The library celebration will
include discussion and demonstration of the books, school lessons, and dance steps popular in
1915, and the Middlesex County
Museum will record oral histories.
There will be a children’s program
as well as coffee and ice cream to
celebrate the birthday.

18 • Rivah • September 2015 Historical trolley tour to be part
of Urbanna Founder’s Day events
URBANNA—As part of the 2nd annual
Urbanna Founder’s Day celebration on
Saturday, September 5, author and lifelong
town resident Larry Chowning will conduct
a historical trolley tour of the town starting
at 2:30 p.m. The tour will begin in front of
Marshall’s Drug Store on Cross Street in
Urbanna.
The town was founded in 1680 as an English Colonial port-of-call with a deepwater
creek, providing easy access for the on-andoff loading of commercial goods.
The town’s origin goes back to June 1680
when the Virginia Assembly Act of Cohabitation encouraged the establishment of 19 port
towns throughout the colony. The town was
officially named Urbanna by the Assembly in
1706 in honor of the reigning Queen Anne of
England. Urbanna means “City of Anne” in
Latin. Founder’s Day is a celebration of the
town’s historic and interesting past.
The trolley tour will include historical
remarks on many of the colonial, antebellum,
Civil War and post-Civil War buildings in
town along with stories of lore and myth.
The stories will address natural elements of
the town and their historical significance. For
instance, there are two ravines in town that
were used as safe houses by slaves during the
Civil War. When Union ships came to town,
soldiers and “croakers” (as northern abolitionists were called in this area) encouraged
slaves to run away from surrounding farms and
plantations and join Union forces.
When it became known that a Union ship
was in Urbanna Harbor, word moved quickly
through slave communities. During the night
many slaves ran away toward Urbanna and
hunkered down in the darkness and protection of the ravines, waiting for the sun to rise.
Unlike slaves that utilized the Underground Railroad who hid during daylight and
moved in darkness of night, those using the
Urbanna route to freedom were able to walk
right down the middle of the streets of town
in broad daylight, in clear view of all, and
board the Union ships to freedom.
The Urbanna Founder’s Day celebration on
September 5 will start at 10 a.m. and end at
4 p.m.
Mathews Market Days to feature two days of fun
MATHEWS—The 41st Annual
Mathews Market Days festivities start at 9 a.m. Friday,

School auditorium. The perfor-
mance is free and open to the

a.m. on the main stage.
There will be entertainment both inside and outside
on Saturday, beginning with
the student Spelling Bee at 11
a.m. in the Mathews Colonial
Courthouse.
Other big events on Saturday
will be the YMCA 5K and 10
K runs, and the Classic Cruisers Show and Shine Car Show
at Thomas Hunter Middle
School.
The finale will be the Sat-
urday Night Live Street Dance

Manumission
commemoration slated
Sept. 5 at Christ Church
WEEMS—On September 5, 1791, Robert Carter III walked into
a district court at Northumberland County Courthouse and did a
remarkable thing.
In a document he called a “Deed of Gift,” Carter directed that
the 453 enslaved people he owned be freed under a plan of “gradual Emancipation.” Eventually more than 500 people would gain
their freedom by Carter’s act, which was the largest private emancipation in America prior to the Civil War, reported Foundation
for Historic Christ Church education director and curator Robert
J. Teagle.
Carter outlined his reasons for undertaking such a momentous
and controversial step in late 18th-century Virginia. He noted that
for “some time past” he had been “convinced that to retain them in
Slavery is contrary to the true principles of Religion & justice, &
that therefore it was my duty to manumit them.”
Realizing the threat such an act posed in a slave-holding society,
Carter “endeavoured to discover that mode of Manumission from
Slavery which can be effected consonant to law & with the least
possible disadvantage to my fellow Citizens.”
The plan provided for gradual emancipation of slaves depending
on their ages. Carter attached a schedule of the names, ages, sex
and residences of his slaves. Well after his death in 1804, his executors continued the emancipation despite objections from Carter’s
family members and neighbors, continued Teagle.
Though it has garnered more attention in recent years, this
extraordinary story has often gone untold and under-appreciated,
he said.
A commemoration on the 200th anniversary of the deed organized by Frank Delano drew some 800 people. But no other commemorations took place until 2009, when the Northern Neck of
Virginia Historical Society (NNVHS) began marking the deed
with special talks and events. Since 2012 the NNVHS has worked
with the Mary Ball Washington Museum & Library and the Foundation for Historic Christ Church to remember what is one of the
Northern Neck’s most important pieces of history.
This year’s commemoration will take place at 10 a.m. September 5 at Historic Christ Church, 420 Christ Church Road, Weems.
Partnering with the three historical organizations is First Baptist
Church in Heathsville, whose choir will sing a number of songs
to mark the occasion. The featured speaker will be Dr. Lauranett
Lee, curator of African American history at the Virginia Historical
Society.
Organizers hope to draw persons from all over the Northern
Neck, especially those who may be descendants of the families
emancipated by the 1791 deed. Kinsale resident and planning
committee member Regina Gaskins Baylor, who descends from
the Wilson family of those emancipated, urges people to attend and
use some of the research resources to see if they have connections.
A wealth of related information appears at christchurch1735.org.

Take the antique, consignment and thrift shop trail
heresa Lambert, executive director of the
Northumberland economic development
commission, recently faced a challenge:
How do we get the word out about shopping in Northumberland County?
She knew that you build your county on its
strengths, and Northumberland County has a lot
of history and a lot of artistic people.
To capitalize on this and bring businesses
together, the economic development commission created Trolling for Treasures at the Bay:
The Northumberland County Shopping Trail.
The 17 stores along the trail, extending from
quaint Callao to quiet Wicomico Church, sell
consignments, antiques, thrift and new items
to curious shoppers who want to get away from
box stores and strip malls.
“The ‘Trolling for Treasures at the Bay’ shopping trail is aimed at expanding existing businesses by promoting tourism and the concept of
buying local,” Lambert said.
The trail has plenty of unexpected treasures.
Looking for a bike? Try Nina’s New and Nearly
New in Callao, which has bikes of every type
and discounts for students.
Want to get lost in a book? Ye Olde Booke
Shoppe in Heathsville has stacks of beautiful old books (“each at a pittance”—books
for 50 cents or a dollar) retired from the
Northumberland Public Library and others
donated by the public.
Looking for handcrafted clothing, beautiful
antique and modern furniture, artisanal jewelry, and all-natural soaps? Try Plum Summer
in Burgess, Mosaic Consignments and Gifts in
Callao, Second Hand Rose in Edwardsville, or
any of the rest.
Brochures with maps and information can be
picked up at any of the shops (See the map/list)
along with other publications with more to see
and do in the area.
Shoppers along the Northumberland County
Shopping Trail are spoiled for choice, and
there’s more than one day’s shopping to attract
browsers.

areas, weekenders, new residents not familiar
with the shopping opportunities here, and local
citizens interested in ‘green’ shopping and
supporting our county’s businesses,” said John
A. Hendrickson, economic development commission chairman.
The trail winds through most of the villages
in Northumberland, giving shoppers a great
chance to sightsee in Callao or make a trip out
to Reedville. It also includes places to eat and
sleep for weekenders.
Several of the stores are also on the evolving
Northern Neck Artisan Trail, with handmade
goods by local artisans ranging from clothes
to soap to jewelry to furniture and more. These
works make for some of the most popular
items in the store, and they all come with a
story—make sure to ask.
So if you’re vacationing in the area, have a
second home in Northumberland, or you’re just
passing through, pick up a map of the trail and
see what you can find!

Shop and Eat by the Bay
slated September 18-19
KILMARNOCK—The Lancaster by the Bay
Chamber of Commerce recently announced its Shop
and Eat by the Bay event September 18 and 19.
The event will offer 20% off shopping and dining
options at Kilmarnock, Irvington and White Stone
Chamber merchants who are joining to create a “oneof-a-kind” shopping occasion, explained executive
director Anne Paparella.
“The Lancaster by the Bay Chamber merchants
wanted to create a fun and new shopping event to celebrate our unique and fabulous boutiques and restaurants,” said Paparella.
This is the Chamber’s first-ever ticketed shopping
event, she added. Tickets will be sold at participating
retailers for $10 in advance and $15 on the shopping
days. The ticket will allow shoppers 20% off store-
wide at participating shops and specials at participating area restaurants.
Additionally, shoppers will get a tote bag that will
have coupons in it to use for future shopping trips, she
said. Participating retail stores and restaurants will be
identified with balloons and posters and will be listed
at lancasterva.com.
Tickets are also good for a free trolley ride on the
afternoon of September 19. The trolley will be stopping at various places in Kilmarnock, Irvington and
White Stone.
“This is the perfect time to gather some friends,
make your shopping list and have a fun Northern
Neck weekend,” said Paparella. “We are thrilled to
partner with Chesapeake Bank and Bank of Lancaster
in supporting our local businesses with this event.”

deal of action, as the women react to
the stories each of them tells, reported
Sheila Brown. No one simply reads
from a script.
The women involved in this show
range in age from 20s to 70s, and the
parts they play also cover a range of
ages, said Brown. Each performer
becomes many people.
“I really enjoy the scene made of up
things mothers say,” said Amy Lewis.
“My own mother said so many of
those things to me. She was so uncool,
I thought. Now, when I catch myself
saying some of those same things to
my child, I cover my mouth in disbelief. I guess I’m not so cool myself.”
“One of the things I love about this
play is that all of the women in the
play illuminate the real meaning of
their clothing choices in a disarming,
poignant and funny way,” said Kat
Shepherd
“I think each of us can relate to
these stories because everyone’s lives
are so different, and it helps us gain
understanding of how life can be and
whether we let it beat us down or make
us stronger,” added Susan Robertson.
Doreen Robertson said she relates
especially to one character who faces
“the struggle to figure out who you

Located on Rt. 33,
5 mi. East of West Point, Shacklefords
xcerpts from the following story were taken from the chapter “Yankee
Hole” in the book “Soldiers at the Doorstep: Civil War Lore” that I
authored and was first published in 1999. A second edition of the book is
scheduled to be published in 2016, which will include five additional chapters on what life was like at home when the Yankees arrived at the doorstep
of Tidewater, Virginia families.
In 1937 Mrs. Josie Henley Ellyson wrote down her recollections of
life during the Civil War on the family farm of Hillsborough in King and
Queen County.
She was 8 years old when the Civil War began and she recalled that
at the start of the war it was “wild confusion and commotion throughout the county, especially among the men. As soon as the war was
declared they began daily to assemble at Bruington to be drilled in
military tactics from anyone who had military training in such affairs,
usually some ex-student of Virginia Military Institute. The young ladies
from the countryside were always on hand to watch and maybe pray.”
Mrs. Ellyson said as the war progressed, she and her family sat on the
hillside at Hillsborough overlooking the Mattaponi River, and could clearly
hear the roar of cannons and firing of the big guns in the fighting around
Richmond.
She had two uncles in the war, Captain Alexander Fleet Bagby and
Lieutenant Atwood Walker. In April 1864, her family was informed by one
of the uncles that Union officer Philip Henry Sheridan’s army would soon
be passing through King and Queen to reach Union gunboats on the York
River.
Mrs. Ellyson’s father and older brother filled a wagon with provisions
and took it and the family’s horses to the low ground where they thought
they would be safely hidden. The women and slaves were left at Hillsborough. “While we were at breakfast the next morning, we were surprised
to hear the corn sheller in the granary going. When we looked out, we
discovered over 300 Yankee soldiers had their horses tied to the locust trees
all around the grounds of Hillsborough and were feeding their horses with
our corn,” said Mrs. Ellyson.
“Then the Yankees began to plunder. They used their sabers to cut off
our hens’ heads, then they would tie the dead chickens to their saddles to
take back to camp. My little brother Todd had a pet hen named Patty, and
when they called the fowl, she, of course, was the first one to lose her head,”
she said.
“Then the Yankees asked Nannie, the seamstress (a slave), where the
meat was hidden, since it was missing from the smokehouse. She replied
that she did not know. They told her they had rags soaked in oil and if they
were not given the meat, the house would soon be in ashes,” continued
Mrs. Ellyson.
“So my mother told them it was in the attic. One of the Yankees found
the little secret staircase in a closet to get up to the attic. When stepping
from one rafter to another, one of them missed his step and put his foot
through the ceiling.”
This “Yankee hole” was never repaired at Hillsborough, and has been
left there to this day as a reminder of the Yankee invasion.
“The Yankees went to the [outside] kitchen . . . and made servants
(slaves) cook for them all day, using up all the food on hand and pouring
out on the ground—flour, lard, preserves, pickles, meal and everything—
what they could not take with them,” said Mrs. Ellyson.
An enjoyment to the children was when several Yankees tried to rob the
family’s beehives, but the bees made them retreat in defeat. “One of the
Yankees took my mother’s breast pin from the pin cushion on her bureau
in her bedroom,” said Mrs. Ellyson. “Our Nannie (slave) jerked it from his
hand and said, ‘You shan’t have Miss Betty’s pin.’ The Yankee did not try to
take if from Nannie. I have that pin to this day.”
When the Yankees left, there was not one mouthful of food left on the
place to eat. The grounds and home were in shambles, but the Yankees
did not burn Hillsborough, and “we felt very fortunate. Shortly after the
Yankees left, our friends, the Littlepage family across the river, heard of our
plight and what joy we experienced when we saw a boat crossing the river
with food aplenty for us hungry children,” said Mrs. Ellyson.
It happened right here in Rivah country.

Old Tobacco Warehouse
Virginia Street
Urbanna

The restored James Mill
Scottish Factor Store or “Old
Tobacco Warehouse” is used
as the Urbanna Town Visitor Center. For years, it was
thought to have been used to
store hogsheads of tobacco.
In 1958, The Association for
the Preser vation of Virginia
Antiquities sponsored a study
of the building. Historian Wesley Newton Laing’s research
revealed that the structure
was not a warehouse but,
rather, a Scottish Colonial
merchant factor store, where
tobacco could be traded for
finished goods from Europe.

Special Operations Warrior Foundation
Golf Event is September 30 in Irvington
IRVINGTON—The 5th annual
Special Operations Warrior Foundation (SOWF) Chesapeake Bay
Charity Golf Event will be held
Wednesday, September 30, at the
King Carter Golf Club in Irvington.
SOWF is a non-profit organization that is specifically dedicated
to the military’s Special Operations
Forces and their families. Its mission
is to provide a college education
through grants, not loans, to every
child who has lost a parent in the
line of duty while serving in Army,
Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps
Special Operations. To date there
are 1,000 children in the program.
So far, 249 children of fallen Special
Operations Warriors have graduated
from college, and 134 are presently
enrolled in various colleges and universities around the nation.
The public is asked to consider
participating in this event, or making
a charitable contribution to SOWF.
“We are proud that it has received a
Four Star ranking by Charity Navigator for 8 consecutive years,” said
an SOWF spokesperson.
Administrative overhead is 5.2%,
which allows the vast majority of
the event proceeds to flow directly
to the families in need. “Present
at this year’s tournament will be a
graduate of the college program
who will share her personal experiences and how this organization provided loving guidance and financial
support at a time she and her family
needed it most,” said the spokesperson.
For information on the event,
contact Tom Quinn at 703-927-0056
or Fred Gilman at 804-761-1427.
Checks for individual contributions
may be made payable to “SOWF”
and mailed to: The Special Operations Warrior Foundation, Chesapeake Bay Charity Golf Event, P.O.
Box 1481, Kilmarnock, VA 22482.
More information on SOWF may

S
ituated just six miles
northwest of Montross,
Stratford Hall offers more
than just a deep, rich history
lesson.
Home of the Lees of Virginia
and the birthplace of Robert E.
Lee, Commander-in-Chief of all
Confederate forces in the Civil
War, Stratford Hall is well-known
for its school visits, educational
programs, camps, fellowships
and war exhibits, but the purpose
of our visit was to experience the
Plantation Dining Room, part of
the Inn at Stratford Hall.
Enthusiastic to try something
new, I met my friend, The Rivah
Visitor’s Guide editorial director
Lisa Hinton-Valdrighi, and we
took the beautiful drive through
Montross and headed north on
Route 3.
We turned into the gate at
Stratford Hall, and immediately
took a deep breath and relaxed.
Stratford Hall is certainly a destination that forces visitors to stop,
look around, and enjoy earth’s
colors and landscape.
The drive to the Plantation
Dining Room took us past the
incredible Great House and
through the almost 2,000 acres of
fields and forest. Serving lunch
daily, the dining room offers
traditional local dishes with a
contemporary flair that offers
something to please everyone.
Seated out on an air-conditioned porch overlooking a
wooded ravine, we started our
lunch with a refreshing glass of
pinot grigio suggested by the Inn
at Stratford Hall general manager Raoul Henriquez.
For appetizers, the crab cakes
and the “shrimp and the mill”
caught our eyes right away. The
two medium-sized crab cakes,
which were light on filler, and
served with a fresh corn salsa.
The “shrimp and the mill” is a
no brainer as the grits are made
on site at the gristmill and served
with a cheese and Creole tomato
sauce. Lisa and I agreed this dish
is more than an appetizer option.
The creamy southern grits served
with three shrimp is spectacular
and should be made larger and be
included as an entree option.
Upon finishing our appetizers, we were served a glass of
Fiore Rosso Toscana, a blend
of sangiovese and cabernet sauvignon—a rich, fruity glass of
exciting red wine. If you happen
to come across this wine, try
a glass. I hope you enjoy it as
much as Lisa and I did.
For the main course, we were
advised by previous visitors to
try the famous Stratford Southern Fried Chicken served with
homemade coleslaw and fries.
Lisa opted to try this classic
recipe.
The fried chicken is probably
some of the best we’ve tasted.
A loud crunch followed by a
mouthful of juicy tender chicken
is a recipe I hope they keep for
years to come.
The rainbow trout served panfried and glazed with an almond
beurre blanc sounded delicious,
but unfortunately the restaurant
was out of trout.
Our waitress suggested the
Northern Neck oyster platter
with oysters from Faunce Seafood of Montross, fried in cornmeal to a golden brown, and
served with homemade coleslaw
and fries.
New chef Andy Lo greeted our
table and asked if we preferred
the oysters fried in cornmeal or
should he try panko (Japanesestyle breadcrumbs). We suggested he try the panko as we
felt the cornmeal created a heavy
coating taking away from the
delicacy of the oyster.
For dessert we decided on the
hot apple pie, served a la mode,
and the strawberry shortcake.
Homemade biscuits, topped with
fresh local berries and served
with a Chantilly cream was a
sweet ending to a classic meal.
If you’re looking for an adventurous day, a refresher on some of
America’s great history, or looking
for a traditional lunch or dinner,
Stratford Hall satisfies it all.

Oktoberfest
Ein Prosit, ein Prosit, der Gemütlichkeit...
(To health, to health, to cheer and good times...)
A waitress with Hacker-Pschorr, one of the traditional beers allowed
by law to be served at Oktoberfest. She wears a dirndl, the traditional
dress of Bavaria.
by Audrey Thomasson
We’ve all seen them—the oompah
bands, beer-guzzling men in lederhosen
and women in dirndle skirts and busthugging blouses guaranteed to curl a man’s
suspenders. And, of course, enormous
steins overflowing with foaming lager.
What else do you know about the German-based festival, Oktoberfest? Let’s bust
a few myths and learn the facts before you
attend one of the area’s upcoming celebrations.
ing displays and horse races. It was so well
received they decided to stage the races
and other indulgences again the following
year, and then the next and the next.
Over time, the event grew to a two-week
celebration and was moved into September,
ending on the first Sunday in October in
order to take advantage of better weather.
In 1995, the date was again modified to
end on German reunification day October
3, 1990.
You’ll find local events floating between
September and October.
Known as the largest “Volksfest” (people’s fair) in the world, Oktoberfest began
in Munich as a celebration of the October
12, 1810, wedding of Bavarian Crown
Prince Ludwig I and Princess Therese
of Saxony-Hildburghausen. For five full
days, the burghers of München (Munich)
were invited to eat, drink and be merry
with parades, kettle drums, music, shoot-
What began as a royal wedding celebration has become the biggest annual
keg party celebrated all over the world.
Munich’s festival attracts some 7 million
visitors annually who consume 6.7 million
litres of beer and eat more than 15 oxen.
It begins September 20 and continues for
two weeks on a meadow outside Munich’s
city center.
Don’t expect anything close to that scale
So why is a festival named Oktoberfest held in September?
46 • Rivah • September 2015 How big is the festival?
Good Shepherd Lutheran Church oompah band, Low N Brows
here.
Local Oktoberfests last for just a few
hours, with considerably fewer people. The
beer will be flowing, even at church-sponsored events, but there won’t be any Red
Cross “hangover tents” like in Munich.
What kind of food is typically
served?
most of the popular German sausages and
a variety of other German dishes. Wunderbar!
What kind of beer will be served?
Germany is the land of beer gardens
and some of the world’s finest beers. It’s
fitting that Munich’s centuries-old breweries are the only suppliers for the festivals.
The beers generally have a high alcohol
content, with 5.8 percent to 6.3 percent
alcohol, and a malty, toasty taste. While
the lagers come large (nearly two pints),
so does the price at 10 euros each (about
$12.50 US).
Here, the beers include tap beers, many
German, and a variety of local microbrews.
Hendle (roast chicken), Schweinshaxe
(pork knuckle), Weisswurst (white sausage) and, of course, sauerkraut and strudel
are the favorite celebratory foods of most
Germans. Munich is also big on those giant
soft pretzels. Last year, a national crisis of
giant pretzel proportions nearly ruined the
party when bread makers slowed down
pretzel production in a threatened strike
What kind of entertainment can you
prior to the event.
In Rivah country, there’ll be no pretzel expect from a bunch of third- and
fights. You will, however, find a variety of fourth-generation German-Americans?
There’ll be no Munich-sized parades
locally grown traditions, with some locations offering homemade cakes and pas- featuring draft horses pulling wagons
tries prepared by Bavarian-clad women loaded down with dozens of barrels of
while the lederhosen men will be grilling beer. You’ll find local events more family-
oriented. Most offer traditional polka music, dancing,
games and lots of activities for the kids. Gloucester’s
annual Blues and Brews event is pretty much just a
craft beer-fest with live music.
Do you have to dress like Bavarians?
Not really, but if you want to experience the full
flavor, you have plenty of time to purchase Bavarian
clothing at online specialty shops. Should Munich be
on your bucket list, you’ll have a jump start for next
year’s bash.
So, enjoy Rivah county’s version of Oktoberfest.
Raise a stein and cheer! Prosit! (To health!)

The Fishing Line
Skinny Water, Deep Water, Big Boats and Small…
September Offers it All.
T
his month brings tremendous
opportunities for anglers.
Cooler temperatures will promote
heightened feeding habits as fish
stage for a fall exit out of the rivers
and down the bay. The diversity
of fishing presents anglers with a
variety of methods to land some
of the Northern Neck andMiddle
Peninsula’s finest seafood.
In the Shallows
Shallow water, or “skinny”
water as we call it locally, presents
opportunities that are not available in the deep water of the Chesapeake Bay. This inshore fishery
offers such species as speckled
trout, puppy drum, striped bass,
bluefish and a variety of other
small fish.
What makes the shallow water
fishing so special is that it’s commonly found in protected areas
that are well suited for small
boats, kayaks and even for those
anglers who prefer wading. Fishing interest has swelled among
naturalists and fitness enthusiasts
who choose to explore nature and
catch a fresh dinner at the same
time. With close proximity to
Dameron’s Marsh as well as several creek inlets, kayakers have
found great success with light
tackle while casting and jigging
from the rentals.
Speckled trout fishing is one of
the staples of skinny water. Action
should pick up in September and
continue into October. Grassy
flats are great places to fish for
these trout. Upriver creeks are
also holding trout as anglers seek
them deep into the fall months.
Casting artificial baits has become
the norm rather than the exception
when seeking these tasty fish.
Mirrolures, surface poppers and
jig heads rigged with twister tails
are among the many baits used to
entice shallow water action. Other
methods include live minnows
and small bunker baits.
On many occasions, anglers
find puppy drum (redfish), striped

ing are spot who prefer a bloodworm.
Striped bass feed heavily on
minnows and peeler crabs during
September. This occurs along the
shorelines and bar areas where
access is limited to shallow draft
vessels. As we approach months
end, this fishery matures nicely
with 18-26 inch fish available for
light tackle action.
We’ve had several folks take fly
rods out in the kayaks and enjoy
top water action for bluefish and
striped bass. The choice of flies
usually fall within a colorful variety of clousers and deceivers.
In the bay and rivers
During this transitional period
between summer and fall, there
are a few top water species that
can be found in the big water of
the bay and the mouths of major
rivers. Among fish drawing the
most attention, Spanish mackerel,

bluefish and red drum are most
popular.
Anglers should find plenty of
trolling action along the channel edges throughout the region.
Trolling produces good results
with several different lures. The
only difference is varying speeds
for each species. Clark and Drone
spoons (#0 and #1) are the baits
that closest resemble the shiners that are the main menu for all
three species this month.
An average trolling speed of
5-6 knots will entice some bites of
each species, yet will likely land a
majority of bluefish in your coolers. A slightly faster speed will
entice more mackerel as a slower
moving bait will attract more
drum.
I have found that #1 planers are
the best means of taking the lures
to the right depths. As the fall
progresses, it seems that the fish
school a bit deeper in the water
table. When this is evident, using
a #2 planer will work best. If planers are not part of your tackle repertoire, you may utilize 6-16 oz
in-line sinkers.
This trio of fish will continue
to school in southern Maryland
waters, in the lower Potomac
River, and from Smith Point down
to Mobjack Bay. These fish will
be feeding along the shipping
lanes as well as on the flats. They
will come in waves as they continue to move southward in migration. This fishing should last for
the majority of the month.
The heaviest concentration of
mackerel and drum usually follow
the western side of the bay past
the Great Wicomico River down
to Windmill Point where they
disperse and continue toward
the lower bay. Another area that
should not be discounted is the
eastern channel edges from Smith
Point to the Cut Channel.
Bluefish seem to be consistent on both sides of the bay with
the larger samples found on the
western flats and locations holding structure. They can be caught
one of two ways during September. Trolling is good in many
of the same locations as mentioned for mackerel. Bluefish and
mackerel tend to school and feed
together. The schooling blues will
continue to run in the 1-3 pound
class.
Chumming will provide bluefish up to 5 pounds in Maryland on the Southwest Middle
Grounds. In Virginia, the Northern Neck Reef and Buoy 62 area
will provide nice bluefish hauls
as well. These areas will gradually give way to striped bass as the
month wraps up.
Bottom fishing will peak this
month and should continue to
provide good action into October. Croaker fishing will quickly
fade but Spot will become plentiful over most hard bottom areas.
Most of the rivers and creeks are
holding half pound spot at this
time.
Simple bottom rigs with bloodworms or FishBites will gather
enough fish to feed a hungry
family. Croaker, although abundant, are running medium size at
best.
Whether you prefer to fish from
a sport fishing boat or from a
kayak, this month promises to be
memorable.
Be safe and until next
time . . . fair winds.

Godspeed to participate
in Turkey Shoot Regatta
IRVINGTON—This year marks
the 20th running of the Turkey Shoot
Regatta and proves to be an exciting
one.
Jamestown Settlement’s Godspeed, a re-creation of one of the
three ships that brought the first permanent English colonists to the New
World in 1607, will be participating
in the weekend events. She will be
docked at The Tides Inn, Irvington,
when not sailing during the races.
The Godspeed will host prescheduled education programs for students
from area schools on October 2.
The regatta will be held October 2
through 4 and organizers hope to beat
last year’s 100 participants. Sailing
vessels must be of a classic design,
25 years or older to qualify. It is a
great opportunity to see a division
of classic wooden boats in a modern
day regatta.
Registration has opened and plan-
ning is well under way, said committee co-chairman Joel Dugan.
Registration forms, event schedules
and more can be found at turkeyshoot.org.
The Godspeed was built in 200406 to serve as an exhibit at Jamestown
Settlement. The design is based on
research of 17th-century ships and
historically documented tonnage of
the original ship. She is an elegant
three-masted ship, measuring 88
feet in length and 17 feet across her
beam. The main mast reaches 71.6
feet from the waterline. The painted
hull decorations are based on likenesses of the period. There is a red
and white diamond pattern on the
upper works of the hull.
Sponsored jointly by Yankee Point
Racing and Cruising Club and the
Rappahannock River Yacht Club, the
Turkey Shoot Regatta is among the
largest sailing races on the Lower
Farm & Home Supply, LLC
Chesapeake Bay and the largest Hospice regatta in the country. It was
voted “Best of the Bay” in 2014.
Hosted by Rappahannock Yachts
on Carter Creek, the Turkey Shoot
Regatta is the major fundraising event
for the Hospice Support Services of
the Northern Neck and also contributes to Riverside Hospice Agencies in
Tappahannock and Gloucester.

Essex County
History
Essex County’s history in written form
dates from Captain John Smith’s visit during the winter of 1607-08, when he wrote
of the “excellent, pleasant, fertile, and
navigable” Rappahannock Valley.
In 1645 Bartholomew Hoskins patented
the Tappahannock site, which became
known at various times as Hobbs His Hole,
Hobb’s Hole, the short-lived New Plymouth, and the Indian name Tappahannock.
The port town was to become a center of
commerce during the 17th and 18th centuries, establishing a crossroads.
The county came into being in 1692
when Old Rappahannock County, which
once encompassed at least 50 modern
counties in Virginia and West Virginia, was
divided along the river with the north side
becoming Richmond County and the south
becoming Essex.
During Bacon’s Rebellion in 1676,
armed men gathered near Piscataway
Creek and defeated Governor Berkeley’s
cavalrymen. Later they prevailed in the
Dragon Swamp, but eventually English warships and troops suppressed the uprising.
Frontier patrols, however, were maintained
against hostile northern Indians into the
early 1700’s.
The British Stamp Act of 1765 led
directly to the American Revolution, and it

The Ritchie-Meriwether House is on the corner of Prince and Cross streets in Tappahannock.
The land on which the building sits was purchased in 1706 by Thomas Meriwether and
he built a house in 1708, referred to as the Long House. In 1768, Archibald Ritchie,
purchased the house and square.
was in Tappahannock that one of the first
confrontations occurred.
Leading merchant Archibald Ritchie, who
supported the Stamp Act, was labeled as
“the greatest enemy of his country.” On
February 27, 1766, gentlemen from nine
counties gathered at Leedstown to draft
the “Resolutions” that led Virginians to
disobey Parliament. They also made plans
to publicly humiliate Ritchie and the Scots
merchant Archibald McCall. These events
occurred seven years before the Boston
Tea Party.

Gloucester County
History
Government
Exploration of what would become
Gloucester County began soon after
1607 when Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in the New
World, was started 25 miles to its south.
Gloucester County was formed in 1651
from York County. It contained Kingston
Parish, which became Mathews County
in 1791.
Gloucester was home to several wellknown persons including Pocahontas,
daughter of Indian Chief Powhatan.
According to legend, she petitioned her
father to spare the life of English explorer
Captain John Smith, who was one of the
first white men to see the area in the
early 1600s.
Another infamous resident was
Nathaniel Bacon who, in 1676, led a
force of planters against the Indians.
Bacon’s Rebellion defeated the Indians
and then attempted to make the governor
reform colonial policies. His army burned
Jamestown and he briefly controlled the
colony before his death ended the revolt.
Fortified during Bacon’s Rebellion,
Gloucester Point is just across the York
River from Yorktown, site of the British
surrender to end the American Revolution.
Originally called Tyndall’s Point, named
for an early mapmaker, it was renamed
Gloucester Towne and was once the

county seat until it was moved 13 miles
north during the 1700s.
When Jamestown was burned by
Bacon in 1676, the Virginia Executive
Council considered moving the state
capital to Tyndall’s Point, but the motion
was rejected. Jamestown remained the

In 1769, the new county seat, Botetourt Towne (old town Gloucester), was
laid out. It was named for Baron de Botetourt, then governor of Virginia.

Lancaster County
History
Indians occupied the Northern Neck
for some 10,000 years before Capt. John
Smith sailed up the Rappahannock River in
1608. The Powhatan Confederate was represented here by the Moraughtacunds and
the Cuttatawomen tribes. A short 43 years
later, Lancaster County was established
from neighboring Northumberland.
Families of notable influence in the social, political and economic climate of the
colonies built magnificent “empires” here,
and family names like Carter and Ball still
are prevalent today.
Robert “King” Carter (1663–1732) of
Corrotoman Plantation (in Weems) was the
son of immigrant John Carter. He acquired
over 300,000 acres with some 1,000
slaves working his various properties.
Married twice, “King” Carter fathered
15 children. Among his descendants were
eight governors of Virginia, three signers of
the Declaration of Independence, two presidents, leader of the confederate armies
Gen. Robert E. Lee, and a Supreme Court
Justice.
Carter is buried alongside his wives at
the church he built near Irvington, Historic
Christ Church.
The Ball family, meanwhile, established
themselves at Millenbeck and Epping
Forest. Mary Ball, the mother of George
Kilmarnock Museum on North Main Street
in Kilmarnock offer visitors a nostalgic trip
back in time.

Mathews County
History
Mathews County was an established
shipbuilding center for the Chesapeake
Bay when it broke away from Gloucester
in 1791 to become a separate county.
About that time, 12 sailing ships over
20 tons each were built in a single year
in Mathews, which the Chiskiake Indians had called Werowocomico.
Between 1790 and 1820, approximately a third of the ships built in Virginia came from Mathews. The sharp,
fast vessels, popularly known as Baltimore Clippers, were built throughout
the Chesapeake Bay region. Before the
War of 1812, these fast ships were
simply known as “Virginia built.”
From 1802 to 1844, Mathews was
an official port of entr y for the registration and enrollment of ships. During
this period, 10,000 vessels called at
the “Port of East River.” The customs
house stood at Williams Whar f (marker
13), which was a center of maritime activity until the steamers quit running in
the 1940s.
Cricket Hill, near Gwynn’s Island, was
the site of one of the last naval engagements of the Revolutionar y War. In June
1776, Continental forces bombarded
the British fleet and encampment on
Gwynn’s Island. Lord Dunsmore, the
last royal governor, was driven from the
colony, ending British rule in Virginia.

When water was the highway, boats
were the standard means of travel. The
arrival of steamships at Williams Whar f
with cargo from Nor folk, Newport News
or Baltimore was a daily highlight.
World War II put most of the steamboat lines out of business. In 1942 the
government requisitioned most of the
bay and coastal steamers for ser vice in
the war effort.
The last remaining steamboat line,
the Old Bay Line, stopped its York River
to Baltimore run in 1942. About 20
years later, the Old Bay Line dropped
passenger ser vice between Baltimore
and Nor folk. The steamers stopped for
good in the spring of 1962.

lar Urbanna Oyster Festival, which draws
thousands for a weekend of music and
mollusks every November.
History
Middlesex County was formed around
1669 from Lancaster County, making it
one of the oldest English settlements in
the United States. Many plantation homes
still stand from the Colonial era.
Bordered by the Rappahannock and
Piankatank rivers and the Chesapeake
Bay, much of its history centers around
the water. The town of Urbanna was
formed in 1680 as a center for shipping
tobacco from surrounding plantations.
Urbanna was the county seat until 1852
when it was moved to Saluda. Throughout
the county are homes built in the 1700s.
Wartime stories abound dating back to the
Revolutionary and Civil wars. During these
wars, plantations such as Providence and
Rosegill were bombarded and looted.
Stingray Point near Deltaville gained immortal fame as the spot where Captain
John Smith was nearly killed by a stingray.
Three centuries ago ships from London,
Liverpool, Bristol and Glasgow were common sights on Urbanna Creek. Just across
the creek from Urbanna is Rosegill, one of
the oldest plantations in America. Home
to five generations of Wormeleys, it was
for many years a center of influence in the
Colony and a power in the political and
commercial life of this area.
During the Civil War, General George
McClellan formulated a plan of attack to

Named the Urbanna Plan, it was never

In 1862, several Yankee warships bombarded the town but legend has it that the
only thing the Yanks killed was an old hare.
One of the cannonballs did hit the old
courthouse, which today is the Middlesex
Woman’s Club building on Virginia St.
During the bombardment, townsfolk
congregated on the creek bank at the current site of the Urbanna Bridge. Legend
has it an old man stood at the hilltop and
whenever he saw a flash of a cannon firing
would scream “squat” and the townsfolk
would squat to the ground.

Northumberland County
History
Northumberland County is called the
Mother County of the Northern Neck.
Settled by the English in 1648,
Northumberland was officially established
by an act of the Burgesses in Jamestown
in 1648. It was later divided into three additional counties, Lancaster, Richmond
and Westmoreland Counties.
At its heart is Heathsville, the county
seat. Located between the headwaters of
the Coan and the Great Wicomico rivers,
in 1679 it was chosen as the site of the
county courthouse. The building was completed and county justices were moved in
1681.
In 1797, citizens established a 20-acre
town around the courthouse square naming it in honor of citizen leader John Heath
who lived just down the road at Springfield, an historic plantation mansion still
standing and occupied today.
In 1992, the National Register of Historic Places designated Heathsville an
Historic District, along with the original
courthouse and tavern, now a restaurant,
gift shop and museum. The courthouse
square also includes a blacksmith shop,
transportation museum, old jail and carriage house.
Northumberland was once dependent
upon tobacco as its major cash crop and
currency. Later, most of its residents relied
on the water for their livelihoods. Today,
nic shoreline, more than 12,300 call
Northumberland County home.

heritage. The Reedville Fisherman’s Museum provides a comprehensive overview
of the village’s fishing industry, both past
and current.

roads of U.S. Route 360 and State
Route 3, the county seat of Warsaw is
currently the headquarters for many regional government agencies as well as
a community college, vocational center
and regional jail.
History
Known as the Gateway to the Northern Neck, Richmond County was
established in 1692 from the old
Rappahannock County.
Originally explored by Captain John
Smith in 1607–1608, the county
was settled in 1640 when people migrated up from settlements below the
Rappahannock River. It was presumably named after the First Duke of Richmond, cousin to both King William III
and Queen Mary. One of the early settlers was Colonel Moore Fauntleroy, who
patented land in the county in 1650.
The first county seat was thought to
be at the mouth of Little Carter’s Creek,
then moved to Naylors, an early river
settlement. The seat moved inland in
1730 and renamed the Richmond County Courthouse. In 1831, the name was
changed to Warsaw in sympathy with
the Polish struggle for independence.
Warsaw was incorporated as the county’s only town in 1947.
The Downing Bridge was built across
the Rappahannock River in 1927, connecting Richmond County to Essex
and opening up travel to and from the
Northern Neck. The bridge replaced
200 years of ferry service and was dedicated by Sen. Thomas Downing of the
Northern Neck.
Government
The Richmond County seat is at 101
Court Circle in Warsaw. 333-3415.
Richmond County has one incorporated
town, Warsaw. The sheriff’s office can
be reached at 333-3611.
Libraries
The Richmond County Public Library is at 52 Campus Dr. in Warsaw.
333-3025.
For Visitors
Fall is harvest time at Belle Mount Vineyards in Warsaw.
Richmond County was home of the
last president elected under the Articles of Confederation. In 1788, Judge
Cyrus Griffin was elected president of
the U.S. Congress Assembly and held
that position until the U.S. Constitution
was adopted and his successor, George
Washington, was elected as the first
U.S. President.
William A. Jones gained recognition
for Richmond County in 1916 when,
in supporting self-government for all
people, he authorized a bill that guaranteed independence for the Philippines.
In 1926, the people of the Philippines
erected a memorial at Jones’ gravesite
in the St. John’s Episcopal Churchyard
in Warsaw.

Westmoreland County
History
Established in 1653 by the colonial government in Jamestown,
Westmoreland County was named
for a British shire. The county’s most
significant contributions to histor y include its fostering of more statesmen
than any other county in the countr y,
and for the Leedstown Resolutions.
Considered the forerunner of the
Declaration of Independence, the
Leedstown Resolutions were signed
in Februar y, 1766. Prepared by Richard Henr y Lee, the document was
signed by 115 patriots who bound
themselves together “To Prevent The
Execution of The Stamp Act.”
Stratford Hall was the boyhood
home of Richard Henr y Lee and Francis Lightfoot Lee, signers of the Declaration of Independence.
General Henr y “Light-Horse Harr y”
Lee was a Revolutionar y War hero
and ser ved as one of General George
Washington’s most trusted of ficers.
He is the father of Rober t E. Lee.
General Rober t E. Lee was born
in 1807 at Stratford Hall. Lee was a
colonel in the U. S. Army when the
Civil War broke out. Of fered the command of the Union Army, Lee declined
because he “could take no par t in an
invasion” of his homeland.
