Westmoreland county, Virginia, was taken from the older colony of Northumberland by an Act of the "Grand Assembly," July, 1653.
Westmoreland has been called "The
Athens
of
Virginia
." Some of the most renowned men of this country have been born within her
borders. Among these may be mentioned Presidents George Washington and James Monroe, also Gov. Richard Henry
(Lighthorse Harry)
Lee, and his son Robert E. Lee.
President Monroe was born at the head of
Monroe
's Creek. Chantilly, situated upon the Potomac, now in ruins, was once the
residence of Richard Henry Lee. Upon the same stream, a few miles up, is
Stratford
, the family seat of the Lees for many generations.
The birthplace of
Washington
was destroyed previous to the Revolution. It stood about half a mile from the junction of Pope's Creek
with the
Potomac
.
Legibility of census records varies, depending on handwriting of census taker, quality of ink used, paper damage
over the years, quality of the scanning process.
Different from transcribed census records, these contain all information collected by the census taker.
These also give a sense of relatives and neighbors living nearby.
