Olivet Cemetery Register, 1875-1908","description":"\u003cp\u003eBeneath the surface of a quiet hillside in Richmond, Virginia, lies important history. The hillside holds the unmarked remains of African-Americans in a cemetery named Mt. Olivet. What started out as a basic interment register transcription by the author turned into tracking evidence on a trail of unsettling activities that took place on land she considered sacred. With over 1,300 interments listed, Frantel's goal was to bring light to those who time had forgotten. Instead, what she discovered was entry after entry listing gravesites as \"reopened\" or \"with another\" indicating multiple burials in the same grave. Much of the surface provided few clues regarding individual interments, therefore the author hired an engineering firm to conduct ground penetrating radar on portions of the site. The 2-D and 3-D images retrieved as a result are shocking. The below-ground disturbance indications document the distressing, questionable cemetery activities from that time. The signal sent back from the GPR beckons us to consider the message from the past. Consider the inaudible child, who was interred on May 27, 1901 and died from \"want of attention,\"—she may have the loudest voice of all.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book includes the register's front name index which is arranged partially alphabetically by surname, and includes: full name and page number. The interment entries are listed chronologically and include (as available): full name, date interred, age, marital status, gender, cause of death, partial gravesite location information and remarks. An appendix provides the local Mayor's humble speech from 1878 indicating his concern for the \"lack of securely marked grave locations\" at the cemetery.

Richmond was an area very different from its surrounding rural counties. 1,298 households made up the state's capital, with property ranging from single dwellings to landed estates of many acres. What had begun as a town laid out in 32 two-acre squares, each with four lots, and adjoining suburban land, had grown considerably by 1810. In 1742 Richmond was officially designated as a town, and its new role as the state capital began in April 1780. By any definition, Richmond was rapidly becoming an urban center by 1810. In the rush of building, tanyards and lumber houses stood cheek by jowl with fine residences, taverns, and stables. Richmond was a major import center, and the activity along the banks of the James River continued day and night. A little farther north, just beyond the Capitol grounds, stood many fine homes of the more wealthy inhabitants. A number of persons maintained \"plantations-in-town\" in this area.. For example, Chief Justice John Marshall owned a square in the fashionable residential area known as Court End. Many of his friends and relatives bought four lots that comprised a square or city block. These properties, which included their homes, supported buildings and gardens. Marshall's square, for example, included his residence, his law office, a laundry, kitchen, carriage house and stable, garden and carriage turn-around. Another point about Richmond was its preponderant African-American population. One in five of Richmond's inhabitants was either a freed slave or a freedman of long standing. And fully fifty percent of the total population was of African-American descent [cf. statistical summary]. When a family name is encountered in a community such as Richmond, the first question which comes to mind is \"What part of the city did he or she live in?\" While wills and deeds can give a good picture of the location, another good source to use as a supplement is the 1815 land tax. While land taxes have been around as long as the state itself, 1815 was the first year in which the resident was identified by distance and direction from the courthouse, as well as the prominent watercourse or geographic landmark near his residence. By checking with this land tax, which does not include all of the census names but does include the actual owners of property, a good idea of where an ancestor resided can often be obtained. This is particularly valuable for Richmond, since it appears that the census taker recorded his entries as he encountered them in his travels. Thus, entries carry some geographical relationship to one another. David Price, the enumerator, began his journey at the old penitentiary in the southwest corner of the city, and the reader can see the city through the changes in population as he traversed the waterfront areas, the packed residential districts for workers, and finally the well-manicured lawns of the wealthy of the city. The reader can see the families living in Adams Valley, as well as the suburbanites in the western tracts of Martin Baker and along Old Brook Road at the extreme northwest corner of the city near Bacon's Branch.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Vogt\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2009, paper, 38 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e107-RCH10\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iberian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39895418699894,"sku":"107-RCH10","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/107-rch10-1500px.png?v=1777313556"},{"product_id":"107-vd47","title":"Independent City of Richmond, Virginia 1815 Directory of Landowners","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1782, the General Assembly of Virginia enacted new tax laws which created within each county and independent city an enumeration of land and certain personal property. These early land tax laws required a tax commissioner in each district of a county to record a list of the names of persons owning land or town lots, the quantity of land owned and its value, and the amount of tax owed. By 1813, a brief geographic description (usually citing an adjacent stream, road, or other landmark) was required; in 1814, the distance and direction from the courthouse for each parcel was also added to the tax rolls.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe present work is an alphabetical listing of all 1815 landowners found in each county and independent city, as well as the accompanying description of the location of the said property. We have not included the number of acres, taxes assessed, or any transactions between landowners which may have been noted on the tax rolls; also, in many cases the geographic location was provided as \"adjacent to John Smith\", etc. and, while useful many times to a genealogist, was considered to be beyond the objectives of this project. The reader is encouraged to consider the information here-in as an \"outline\" of early landowners in Virginia rather than a \"text\" due to the year-to-year variation in information provided to the clerk (or recorded by the clerk), omissions, lack of \"identifiers\" to determine if \"same name\" was also \"same person\" within a district or across districts, marginal quality\/clarity (in a few cases) of the microfilm copy, and, not least, errors on the part of either the original clerks or the current author while transcribing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSome of the approaches to utilizing the 1815 landowner information include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eobserve distinct clusters of the same surname within a county in order to clarify the common surnames such as \"Smith\", \"Anderson\", etc;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eidentify non-resident landowners and their county (or state) of residence (these people often being former residents of the current county);\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003edetermine neighbors with different surnames (often being relatives);\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003euse the 1815 information as a \"bridge\" from the 18th and 19th century deed\/will books to the 17th and 18th century land grants\/patents in the county;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eevaluate the 1810 to 1840 census information which generally grouped neighbors;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003esubstitute this information for missing deed\/will books in the \"burned\" counties; and, clarify\/enhance vague deed\/will information in the counties with more complete records.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eFORMAT OF PRESENTATION: Each entry is listed as: Surname, name, personal identifiers (if any); location\/place-name of land; miles\/direction from the 1815 courthouse.

When a landowner had land at more than one location\/place-name, the miles\/direction listing for each parcel is in the same sequence as the location listing (i.e. James RV, Slate CK; 12N, 5SW.).
