CHAPTER B

One of the interesting aspects of researching old historical records

is that they always allude to some seemingly intriguing occurrence but

never tell enough to satisfy one's curiosity as to what really happened, of

course, this has the advantage that it helps the economy--what would all of

those historians, political analysts, and we amateur guessers do without

controversy and the opportunity to learn that the other groups are all

wrong and we have the brilliant insight? This type of fun would be totally

destroyed by the facts! According to Elizabeth Fairfax's relinquishment of

dower (Z/429-Loudoun) she and her husband, Ferdinando, bought the Page Lott

on 14 May 1790. What the document "overlooksll is that the sale was,

apparently, not totally acceptable to everyone. In fact, this annoyance at

the terms or reasons for the sale (the actual dispute has not been

researched), led to a successful lawsuit; so successful that the Fairfaxes

were forced to sell 2500 acres of land to (presumably) relatives of Robert

Page, one of the original Pages who purchased the land from Robert Carter,

Jr.'s, executors. The only specifics that have been discovered are that

William Fleming Gaines, executor for Robert Page of Broadneck, sued Fairfax

and William Byrd Page. Whatever the basis of the suit was, it was not

totally frivolous, for the Winchester (Virginia) District Court ordered

Fairfax to sell 2500 acres (see Figure) from the Page Lott to Carter

B./Rebecca Page and John W./Jane Byrd Page (that this was not the entire

Page Lott is very certain--see Introduction). A small, but significant,

indication that this was not an amicable (at least to Fairfax) turn of

events was that the Court appointed as commissioners Charles Magill, Robert

Page, and Fleet Smith to sell the land to the two Page families

(presumably, therefore, the Court actually expropriated the land rather

than simply ordering Fairfax to sell the land). The initial

(interlocutory) decree was issued on 5 December 1812 and the final decree

(completing the sale) on 13 December 1813 (U2/355).

Carter B./Rebecca Page and John W./Jane B. Page then sold this same

2500 acre tract to James Govan for $1 on 6 June 1821 (U2/355).*

The actual price obviously was not $1; however, the deed does not give

any indication of the actual compensation (another intriguing occurrence

with no obvious answer--had Govan performed a service for the Pages worthy

of such a large compensation; Were they deeply in his debt, was he a

relative; ?).

Since this short note is only concerned with Herndon, the

approximately 1300 acres of Govan's purchase that lies in Loudoun County

(see Figure B.1) will be totally ignored. James Govan kept the 1200**

acres in Fairfax County (see Figure B.2) and then sold it in two roughly

equal pieces. Interestingly enough, he sold both tracts to the same man,

Richard Cockerille, but 10 years apart! The sale of the first parcel is

rather clear; the second, just to add a little interest, is more difficult

to deduce.

*There are several discrepancies between the actual metes and bounds of U2/355 and the landmarks to which these angles/lengths were purported to carry one; see "Sara and Don's Home" for a discussion of some of these problems.

**As, I hope, will become convincing in Chapter B-2, these 1200 acres do not all lie within Fairfax County; at least 210 acres are in Loudoun-­see Chapter B-2 for the exciting logic behind this radical assertion.

Notice that the boundary "gha" is slightly off set from the "obvious"

boundary lines of Sterling Road and a segment of Barnes patent (Chapter A);

this deed (W2/12) must have been in error since in later deeds (e.g. P3/77)

the metes and bounds are changed so that "gha" lies directly on Sterling

Road and the Barnes boundary; this change added 23 acres to the tract.

Also notice that Sterling road, Elden Street, Monroe Street and Dranesville

Road developed along the boundaries of these early tracts of land.

2. Sometime during 1835 James Govan sold the remainder of his Page

purchase to Cockerille. Since the appropriate deed is not listed

in the index of deeds and since it has not been found among the

County deed books, the "proof" that the transaction actually did

occur has been deduced from the Fairfax County land tax records:

Notes:

1. The effective tax rate is 40¢ per acre; exactly what the "5" means

in the rate of land per acre column is not certain.

2. The tax records are sometines annotated; for both of these parcels

there is the notation that Cockerille received the land "by

deed." The fact that this annotation is not made in 1835 or 1836

but, rather, in later years (although while Cockerille still owned

the land) is probably not relevant, and is merely an over (under?)

sight--that is, Cockerille did buy the land; therefore, he did

receive a valid deed, but where is the deed for 18351*

3. Possibly the "discrepancy" of 623 acres (1835) vs 630 acres (1836)

was created as a result of a survey of land during a sale; the

survey simply might have "found" an extra 7 acres. In 1841 the

acreage is still taxed as 630 acres.

4. In 1836 Govan paid no taxesat all in Fairfax County.

This little reproduction of the tax records is fairly convincing

evidence that Govan sold 630 (or was it 623?) acres to Richard Cockerille

in 1835 and that this land lay near Folly Lick. There is no other

possibility but that this was part of the Page Lott. The shape of this lot

is, of course, nothing but Govan's 1200 acres within Fairfax County less

the 577 1/2 acres already sold to Cockerille:

*Although rare, comments have been found in the deeds that explicitly state that some earlier sale had occurred but a deed had never been recorded. Problems arose when the original deed got lost or destroyed and there was no official record describing the sale in the county records--it happens.

Richard A. Cockerille was married twice, had children with each wife,

and died without a will--the perfect ingredients for lawyers and the

courts. As is almost inevitable in this type of circumstance where money,

lots of heirs, and no will mix, the courts eventually had to decide. In

1846, as a result of the suit Cockerille vs. Cockerille's Heirs, the

Circuit Court appointed Henry W. Thomas and Richard H. Cockerille

commissioners with instructions to sell a tract of 1200 acres of Richard A.

Cockerille's land (Cockerille had a lot of other land also) at public or

private sale. The land was apparently sold to John Hoase and Briggs

Waring; that such a sale occurred can only be inferred, since, while Q3/351

and P3/77 both refer to the sale, no deed nor even a reference (in the

index of deeds) for this transaction can be found. What appears to have

actually occurred Was "slightly" different: the Court approved the sale to

Hoase and Waring and ordered Cockerille and Thomas to do the paperwork to

finalize the sale; before this could be accomplished (there were

bureaucratic delays even in 18401) Briggs Waring sold his interest in the

1200 acres to Samuel Russell (Q3/351). Russell and Hoase agreed to divide

the land between them and, to assist in this, asked A. B. Williams to

survey the 1200 acres (P3/77); Russell kept lot 2 and Hoase lot 1 (the

eastern tract).*

Af ter this shuffling Richard H. Cockerille and Henry W. Thomas, as

Court commissioners, sold 600 acres to John Haase for $5 on 27 June 1850

(P3/77). This is obviously not the true price--often in court cases, land

*If anyone has the energy or inclination to read much of this discussion of Herndon's early history, he will find that there are many similar transac tions in the annals of Herndon--"X" sells to "y" who sells to "z" before the deed legalizing the "X" to "y" sale is done, so all that is recorded is a sale from "X" and "Y" to "Z".

is sold, the buyer pays the total price, the court approves the sale and

then orders a deed written; thus when the deed is written no money is owed

and consequently the deed is merely an official record of the transfer of

ownership and, therefore, simply reflects a nominal ($1, $5, or $10)

transfer of money. An indication of the real cost of this 600 acres lies

in P3/79 (27 June 1850) in which John and Arlina Hoase accept a lien on the

property in order to secure a debt of $1425.33 they owed Cockerille and

Thomas; this may not be the entire price since Boase may have used some

cash to pay part of the total price, but suggests that they paid more than

$5. In this lien, Nelson Seymour and Thomas J. Murray are appointed

trustees and everyone agrees that if the Hoases default on the repayment of

the loan (1/3 of which is payable 1 January 1851, 1852 and 1853, with

interest from 1 January 1849), Seymour and Murray will auction the land

after giving 30 days notice in one or more Fairfax County newspapers and

after advertisements had been placed on the Court door of the Fairfax

Courthouse "on some day previous (one, ten, fifteen?) to the sale." There

is an annotation in the margin of P3/79 stating "discharged and satisfied

as per order of Court April 1891. [Signed] Richardson, Clerk." Why the

release did not occur for so long is unknown.

The complexity (perplexity?) of this 1200 acres is not quite

complete: Samuel Russell decided to sell his 600 acres to Thomas

Hazzard. In this instance, Hazzard pays Waring for the land Waring sold

Russell and then Richard H. Cockerille and Henry W. Thomas, as executors of

the late Richard A. Cockerille, along with Samuel Russell, sell the 600

acres (Lot 2 of Williams' survey) to Hazzard on 3 January 1852 (Q3/351).

Since this division into two 600-acre parcels is slightly confusing

and since the subsequent ownership of the lands do not merge, and merely to

maintain some sense of sanity in attempting to trace the history of these

1200 acres, each parcel will be followed separately: Chapter B-1 will

follow John Hoase's land and Chapter B-2 Samuel Russell's 600 acres.

CHAPTER B-1

JOHN HOASE'S 600 ACRES (Lot 1)

One of the indications of the approach of development (i.e.,

"civilization") is the subdivision of land into smaller parcels and the

subsequent increased difficulty in both explaining and following the

succession of owners. John/Arlina Haase's 600 acres are no exception,

especially since most of central Herndon lies within this 600 acres; early

(in the history of the town) and extensive subdivision of parts of the 600

acre tract resulted.

b: planted stone (ab: N 85 1/40 E 181 poles, 7 links),

Henry A./Mary B. Kipp of Fairfax County sold these 200 acres to

)

William and Benjamin H. Bready for $4000 on 27 March 1855 (W3/162).

The Breadys placed a lien on their 200 acres on 27 March 1855 (W3/168)

in an attempt to secure a debt of $2000 (due on or before 1 January 1856

with 5% interest) owed Henry Kipp; Nelson Seymour acted as the trustee.

X3/141 at first appears to be merely a duplication of W3/168 (even the

dates are identical) except that specific metes and bounds are given rather

than a reference to metes and bounds of an earlier deed as was the

situation of W3/168; the land in X3/141 is further described as being

located " ••• in the County of Fairfax situated about 3 miles southwest

from village of Dranesville. A little closer scanning of the deed"

suggests that this is really a duplicate of a deed recorded in Michigan in

1856--the Michigan deed seems to be a copy of W3/168 (with a few changes as

mentioned just now) plus an annex releasing the lien (e.g., the signature

block states that the signatures are a copy, states the place of the deed

to be Washtenau County, Michigan, and that the Kipps are "of Washtenau

County" and not of Fairfax County). Probably the Kipps moved to Michigan,

the debt was paid by the Breadys, the Kipps went to Court in Michigan,

obtained a release of the lien and asked that a copy of the release be sent

to Virginia; the Michigan Court attached a copy of the original lien to the

release for completeness and clarity. All of these words simply say that

the Bready lien was released on 2 December 1855 (X3/141).

H one lien will motivate someone (the Kipps) to leave town, maybe

another will motivate others. William and Benjamin H. Bready placed

another lien on their 200 acres on 1 April 1856 (X3/239) in an attempt to

pacify the worries of William Ramsey that his $1800 (plus interest) would

be repaid. Thomas R. Love, as trustee, released the lien on 5 April 1872

(04/284).

A little reading of a few deeds reveals that William Bready was the

father of six children--Benjamin H., Isaiah, Amanda, Sarah E., Maria L. and

William R. William (father) died without any will and, since Maria had

died, the land that he owned (1/2 interest in the 200 acres) was divided

equally among his four surviving children (presumably his wife died before

him or else she inherited other land and did not want/need this acreage).

Thus each child owned 1/10th of the land except Benjamin H. who owned six­

tenths (1/10 + 1/2). On 7 February 1866 (G4/79) William R./Henrietta

Bready of Philadelphia sold their 1/10 interest in the land to the four

other children for $100. (The deed actually specifies "one undivided fifth

part of all the estate, real, personal • owned by William Bready • • •

household furniture, farming utensils, and undivided half of seven shares

of capital stock in the Alexandria, Loudoun and Hampshire Railroad Company;

and an undivided half of a certain farm in said Fairfax County, near

Herndon Station, on said Railroad. • •• ") The land is described as being

part of the late William Bready's undivided "1/2 interest of a certain farm

in Fairfax County, near Herndon Station, on said railroad and bounded as

follows: on the north by land lately owned by Joseph B. Orrison, east by

land of Thompson and St. John. south by the County Road leading from Frying

Pan, so called, to Dranesville and west by new county road running from the

last mentioned road to the church road, so called, and by land of Job

Champlin. • • • "

After this little transaction each of the four children who own part

of this farm own 1/8 of the land except for Benjamin who owns 5/8 (1/8 +

1/2). Just to keep things moving, Benjamin H. Bready of Fairfax County, on

1 January 1867 (14/32), sold to his brother, Isaiah, "one-half of an

undivided 1/2 interest in a certain farm" for $1 "and other considerations

well and truly worth one thousand dollars." The purpose of this sale is to

"make their several interests equal in the af oresaid land." Now Benjamin

H. and Isaiah each own 3/8 of the total, while Amanda and Sarah own 1/8

each.

The Breadys then divided the 200 acres more clearly amongst

themselves--Isaiah received 110 acres while the other three kept 88 acres:

Also on 7 May 1872 (04/275) the three Breadys placed a lien on their

land to protect a debt of $1154.70 (due in a year) they owed William

Ramsey; Thomas Moore, Fairfax County, acted as trustee; the release of this

lien has not been found.

Sarah Bready died, and in her will (C4/374 of the Fairfax County Will

books) she left her partial ownership in the 88 acres to Benjamin H. and

Amanda.

Benjamin H. Bready died next and left his half interest in the 88

acres to his widow, Hattie B. Bready, and his heirs--Amanda (sister),

Isaiah (brother) and William R. (brother). Isaiah (and wife Catherine) of

Herndon, Hattie B. of Herndon and William R. (and wif e Henrietta) of

Philadelphia "agreed to sell and conveyt! their entire interest in the land

to Amanda Bready on 31 March 1894 (5T/1894).

Apparently the Breadys preferred to transfer ownership amongst

themselves by wills rather than by conventional deeds of sale; Amanda,

maintaining this tradition, wrote a will on 15 June 1898 (Will Book 12/209)

which, in paragraph 5, left the 88 acres to her brother Isaiah.

Isaiah surely was not going to break Bready tradition--in his will of

21 April 1913 (Will book 5/190) he left the 116 acres he "acquired from my

sister, the late Amanda Bready" to his son, B. Harrison Bready*. the 116

acres consisted of the 88 acres of concern here plus a 29 acre parcel

Bready had acquired from George W. Bell (see Chapter A, section lIB). The

*Isaiah's children, according to the will were: George R., B. Harrison, Ella Bready Moss, Edith Mary Roby (married Ernest Roby) , Maria Rebecca Bready, and W. W. Bready who married Annie A. (W. W. died in 1913).

will had a provision in paragraph 2 that B. Harrison Bready would become

owner of the land only after he had paid $3250 plus 5% interest per year

"f rom the date of my death"; this provision was to be "charged as a lien on

the said tract of land and no offset shall be allowed for any improvement

he has made or shall thereafter make." B. Harrison was to pay this "debt"

to Maria Rebecca Bready.

On 14 September 1926 (V9/417) Benjamin H./Amelia A. Bready placed a

mortgage on their land with the Potomac Joint Stock Land Bank of Alexandria

as the lender. The mortgage was for $10,000, at 6% annual interest and was

to be repaid in 65 semi-annual payments of $350 and a final payment of

$291.86; the first payment was due 1 March 1927. The land mortgaged is the

same land "devised to B. Harrison Bready by Isaiah Bready's will of April

21, 1913 ••• Book 5/190." The mortgage was released on 16 April 1934

(M11/359)--given the promptness of repayment could the deed really have

meant 65 months and not 33 years?

Not to be left out of the lien scene, Romulus/Ida F. Bradshaw accepted

one of these wonderful capitalistic inventions on their land on 21

September 1896 (X5/321). This lien was designed to ensure that Harry C.

Griffith received the $333 (plus 6% interest) owed him in 1 year; R. W.

Moore, as trustee, was to watch over the process. The lien was released on

25 March 1899 (C6/391).

If once successful, why not twice? On 25 March 1899 (C6/383) the

Bradshaws used their land to secure a debt of $350 they owed E. B. White.

R. W. Moore was appointed trustee to insure that White received his money

(plus 6%) in one year; he must have been successful for the lien was

released on 1 June 1901 (H6/209).

Try f or three? a: course! On 8 May 1901 (H6/210) Brook Middleton

became trustee to oversee the repayment of $600 owed Sarah A. Little; the

money was due in 3 years at the usual 6%. the Bradshaws were successful

again, for the lien was released on 20 May 1903 (N6/234).

Enough is enough! The Bradshaws shunned liens from then on. Romulus

died on 12 January 1922 without a will; the land was left to his wife and

children. On 15 April 1922 (A9/397) Ida F. Bradshaw (widow), Nettie P.

Bradshaw (unmarried daughter), Mary B./Claude Grubb (daughter/son-in-law),

Lewis R./Nellie S. Bradshaw (son/daughter-in-law) and Walter N./Louis (sic)

S. Bradshaw (son/daughter-in-Iaw) sold their interest in the land to A. E.

Bradshaw (son).

IB6: Isaiah Bready's will was recorded on 21 April 1913 (Will book

5/190) in Fairfax·County. The will contained the following paragraph:

Second, I devise to my son George R. Bready, my homestead tract

of land located in the Town of Herndon, Fairfax County,

Virginia, containing 103 acres*, more or less, subject to the

payment of the sum of $4750, to bear interest at the rate of 5%

per annum from the date of my death and which is charged as a

lien on the said tract of land and no offset shall be allowed

for any improvements he has made or shall thereafter make.

Isaiah directs that George pay the money to his sister Maria Rebecca

Bready.

)

)

*According to 04/285 Isaiah/Catherine Bready owned 110.65 acres of land within Herndon in 1872. All of the sales of ~eady listed in the Fairfax County deed books are included in this little tome and total less than two acres; unless Bready's will included an error and 103 really was meant to be 108 acres, there is the problem of a "missing" 5 acres. Since Isaiah's will does not seem to contain any reference to these 5 acres (e.g., leaving them to an heir), Isaiah either gave (sold) the land to someone without a deed being recorded, or the original survey of 110 acres was incorrect. A more thorough research of the County records or a more extensive investigation of George Bready's land and sales will be necessary to determine if there are 5 unaccounted for acres and, if so, where they are and what happened to them. No such research will be undertaken for this present history of Herndon--that is left to future, more energetic people.

IB6a: Although no attempt will be made to include a comprehensive

history of George Bready's sales of this land, the land subdivided into the

Edwardstore Subdivision by Bready is so central to Herndon that its history

will be briefly mentioned.

George R./Edna M. Bready with Maria Rebecca Bready (recall that

according to Isaiah's will the land did not completely belong to George

until he paid Maria $4750 [plus interest]--in essence, Maria held a lien on

the land and therefore had to join in any sales) sold the lots as follows:

lots 1,2,3,4 to I.u1a K. Chamblin f or "eight hundred ($400.00)

cash1l* on 15 September 1916 (B8/480).

II: On 18 May 1854 (U3/178) John/Arline Haase of New York sold 400

,)

acres to James Miller of Fairfax County, Virginia for $5000. The

boundaries of the land are not precisely given; rather the boundaries of

Haase's purchase of Thomas and Cockerille are given with the notation that

the land is 600 acres less the 200 acres already sold to Henry Kipp*.

James and his wife Eleanor probably did not have enough money to buy the

land using their own cash because on 18 May 1854 (U3/180) they also

accepted a lien on these 400 acres in order to assure John Boase that they

would repay a debt of $3500 in three years ($1200 on 18 May 1855, $1150 on

18 May 1856 and $1150 on 18 May 1857); it seems reasonable that the debt

was really the balance owed Hoase for the loan. Alfred Moss was appointed

trustee with the responsibility of ensuring that the debt was repaid; if

the Millers defaulted, John Hoase could order Moss to sell the land at a

public auction after advertising the sale in a newspaper for four

successive weeks; if such an auction took place, the money obtained from

the sale of the land would first be applied to pay all of the expenses

involved in the trust itself (recording deeds, advertising in a newpaper,

commission to Moss, etc.), secondly, to repay Hoase any remaining balance

(plus interest) of the debt; and lastly, to provide the Millers with any

money still remaining. Note that U3/178 (deed of sale) has the boundaries

of the 600 acres correct, but U3/180 (deed of trust) has an "error" in the

direction of segment "ef"*; it states N 52 3/40 W 102 poles rather than the

correct N 62 3/40 W 102 poles.

*See the figures and the accompanying metes and bounds.

The sequence proscribed in the trust in case of a default is precisely

what occurred: James Miller "failed to payoff the debt secured by the

before recited deed of trust" (Z3/216), the land was advertised in the

"Fairfax County News, (a newspaper published at Fairfax Court House)," a

public auction was held on 1 October 1857 and John Hoase bought the land

for $4100. Hoase then asked Alfred Moss "to unite with him in a deed"

conveying the property to Daniel K. Calyer.* On 28 October 1857 (Z3/216),

Alfred Moss and John/ Arlina Hoase sold the land to Daniel K. Calyer for

$8001 ($1 for Moss and $8000 for Hoase). The tract is still referred to as

"600 acres less Kipp' s 200 acre sIt (which is still not delineated) but has

the additional caveat that the sale is also less "ground occupied and

condemned by the Alexandria, Loudoun and Hampshire Railroad Company" (this

land also is not specified--see chapter K). Note that the error appearing

in U3/180 in segment "ef" is still contained in this deed and that the

boundaries given are those of Haase's 600 acres with the notation that the

land of this sale is the 600 acres less 200 acres sold Kipp.

Sometimes, at least, things finally come together; in the 12 February

1861 (D4/107) deed of sale from Daniel K./Maria Calyer to Robert A.

Matthews of Washington, D.C., the error in the boundary was corrected and

*The reason for this is that Moss had some legal right to the land since a lien usually is phrased as a conditional sale--if the debt is repayed, the "sale" is void; if the debt is not repaid, the "sale" is in effect. Miller defaulted; therefore Moss still retained "ownership" of the land. Since an Alfred Moss to John Hoase deed does not exist, the situation was that Moss owned the land, offered it for sale at an auction, Hoase had bought it at the auction and had paid money in anticipation of obtaining ownership but decided to sell it to Calyer before a deed was recorded; thus both Moss and Hoase still had some legal right to the land and needed to "unite" together to do the selling to Calyer.

the 200 acres sold by Boase to Kipp was finally deleted from the land

description. The Matthews paid $12,000 for 401 acres less

1/2 acre to Alexandria, Loudoun and Hampshire Railroad,

1/2 acre to William Vaurters,

1 acre to Benjamin Taber,

1 acre to the Methodist Episcopal Church,

1/2 acre to John Donn.

Also on 12 February 1861, the Matthews accepted a $2000 trust with Benjamin

H. Bready as trustee--$666.66 was due 12 February 1862, 1863, and 1864;

interest was to be paid annually (D4/79). This lien was released on 27

December 1866 (H4/377).

IIA: In 1850 Daniel K./Maria Calyer sold 1/2 acre to John W. Donn in

fee simple (i.e., the usual straight-forward sale) "for a valuable

consideration • • • [the] Deed was lost or destroyed at Herndon, Virginia,

during war between the states 1861-5 and no record of it exists at the

Court House of the County." Consequently, (R4/327) was written on

9 October 1874 as a replacement deed for the one lost; Daniel K./Maria

Calyer of Newburgh, Orange County, New York (formerly of Herndon) sold the

1/2 acre to John W. Donn for $50.*

a: begin at the intersection of the east line of Isaiah Bready

with the north line of County road (designated as Elden**

Street),

b: -­ (ba: N 40 10' W 208 feet),

c: west line of Grace Street (cb: N 750 E 104 feet),

d: north line of Elden (de: S 100 E 208 feet),

a: beginning (ad: S 750 W 104 feet),

0.5 acres.

*Did Donn pay another $50 in addition to whatever he paid in 1850 or was this just a reflection of the cost of the 1850 deed which Dan had already paid and therefore paid nothing further in 1874 (except possibly the cost to record the deed and to have a lawyer draw it up)?

**Some of the older residents of Herndon remember Elden as Eldon, but except for 1 or 2 deeds, all of the deeds located in researching this history use Elden.

On 19 August 1876 (X4/353) John W./Annie Donn of Baltimore sold this

0.5 acre to John T. Day, Stephen Killam, L. Hindle and W. J. Roby, trustees

of St. Timothy's Church, a Protestant Episcopal Church of the Diocese of

Virginia; the sale price was $60.

E. L. Detwiler, B. A. Mankin, W. J. Roby, Thomas Thornton and John S.

Duffie, trustees for St. Timothy's, placed a lien on their land on 14 July

1894 (R5/84) in order to secure a $600 debt owed the National Building and

Loan Association of Washington. Josiah C. Stoddard and Addison G. DuBois,

as trustees, released the lien on 13 September 1902 (K6/599).

On 24 March 1969 (3189/79) Stanley B. Hanes, Dudley Page and Richard

R. Saunders, trustees for the church, sold the land to F. W. Robinson,

Harry M. Middleton, Sr., and E. Russell Gillette, trustees for the Herndon

Masonic Temple #264. The church had to get Court approval to sell the

land, which they did on 13 January 1869 in the Fairfax Circuit Court.)

0.5 acres.

*Although later deeds still refer to this land as 0.5 acres, it clearly must be larger. If one believes the later deeds, the land is .64 acres plus the (undetermined) amount of land sold to Benjamin Garrett in 1890 (see IIB2). Since all of the land making up the .64 acres clearly comes from Vaurters' land, it will be assumed that the estimate of 1/2 acre was simply an undercalculation.

There must have been an error in this next deed or, more likely, the

Vaurters built some type of structure on this land--otherwise, why would

Sarah A. Torrey be willing to pay a price of $1000 on 15 September 1865

(F4/17)? If not for these reasons, then William N./Cerncia E. Vaurters

really made a profit!

Sarah immediately placed a lien on the land in order to secure a $750

debt due Vaurters--$250 was due in 1, 2, and 3 years. Benjamin Caywood

served as trustee for this 3 September 1865 (F4/92) lien. The release of

this lien did not follow the normal pattern and, consequently, created a

little confusion.

Sarah, living in Fairfax County, seemed to do a perfectly normal

thing--she sold the land to Benjamin W. Clark, also of Fairfax County, for

$100 (Why the $1000 of F4/17? Could the clerk of the Court have made an

error in recording the deed? Shame!) on 30 April 1867 (H4/51).

Benjamin W./Matilda A. Clark of Herndon, not trying to create problems

for anyone, sold the half acre to Lawrence Hindle of Milford, Delaware, for

$1100 (either the value of this land oscillates a lot, someone is rather

sly or someone left off a zero in H4/51) on 18 January 1868 (14/63).

Now, finally, the pecularities of the situation exposed themselves.

Sarah A. Torrey never paid off the lien and, in fact, W. A. Vaurters

finally sued her for repayment of the $789.25 she owed him. This small

oversight meant that Clar never had clear title to the land and,

consequently, Hindle also did not. In an attempt to straighten all of this

into a reasonable result the Fairfax County Court appointed M. Dulaney Ball

a commissioner in August 1867 and authorized him to sell the 1/2 acre to

Benjamin W. Clark; the Court confirmed the sale in January 1868. Clark

(who of course had already sold the land to Hindle) agreed to assign his

land to Lawrence Hindle for $1000, Hindle paid off the lien, the lien was

released and Hindle owned the land a "house and lot" (probably the house

Vaunters built which dramatically increased the value of the land). This

sequence of actions was legalized on 3 July 1868 (14/319) and Hindle owned

the land completely and without any legal "cloud."

IIBl: lawrence Hindle died "seized and possessed" of this 0.5 acres of

land. On 30 November 1886 (?) R. W. Moore (the executor of Hindle) sold

part of this 1/2 acre to H. A./Eva E. Stowell. Stowell then lIassigned his

purchase" (I believe this is a euphemism for "sold toll without recording a

deed) to Benjamin Middleton for $755. R. W. Moore then sold another part

of the 1/2 acre to Middleton for $150. Combining all of this into one

deed, H5/509 (15 February 1889) records the sale of a piece of land from

R. W. Moore, executor of lawrence Hindle, and H. A./Eva E. Stowell to)

Benjamin Middleton. The land that was sold is described as being the same

land Bell sold Hindle in 14/319 except for a piece now occupied by R.

Williams. The land was described as being that part of the 1/2 acre which

fronts on Spring Street, lies east of a small stream [Folly Lick?] running

through the land sold to Hindle [14/319], and which has as its western

boundary a line running with the center of a small stream; the deed leaves

"unsold the house and lot west of such line [Le., the western boundary]

now occupied by a colored man, one R. Williams." The deed claims that

there are 2 houses and small out buildings on the land that is sold. ~ )

this is slightly confusing, let's try a summary: Hindle died owning 0.5

acres; Moore (Hindle's executor) sold Stowell a part of this land; Stowell

sold it to Middleton; meanwhile, Moore sold a second part of the 0.5 acres

directly to Middleton; H5/509 confirms the sale of these two parcels to

Middleton. However, there is still a third piece of the 0.5 acres

remaining unsold--that piece occupied by R. Williams; it will be sold later

(see IIB2).

Benjamin/Sarah E. Middleton of Fairfax County sold this land to

Martin/Louise Rousch of Fairfax for $1000 on 1 May 1895 (T5/ 173).

The Rousches almost immediately (25 July 1895--T5/588) sold the land

to George A. Williams for $1100.

George A./Hattie C. Williams did not believe in letting their "large"

land holding si~ply lie around; they instituted a series of actions over

the next few years:

• 25 July 1895 (T5/628): George and Hattie placed a lien on this

land in order to pacify the concerns of Martin/Louise Rousch

that they might not receive the $1000 the Williamses owed;

William Urich, as trustee, oversaw the repayment ($250 was due

in 1, 2, 3 and 4 years) and released the lien on 17 February

1897 (marginal note of T5/628).

• 1 February 1897 (Y5/198): The Williamses placed another lien on

part of their land in order to secure a $3000 debt owed the

Washington National Bank and Loan; Josiah C. Stoddard and

Addison G. DuBois of Washington, D.C., (why do companies need

two or three trustees while individuals who hold debts only

require one?) were appointed trustees. The land actually

mortgaged was the land purchased from Rausch less and except a

lot fronting 60' on Elden and having a depth of 116 feet. The

lien was released on 23 March 1901 (G6/499).

• 29 March 1897 (Y5/418): NOt to discriminate among their land,

the Williamses placed a lien on their 60 x 116 parcel in order

to secure the Western Wheeled Scrapper Company [what did they

make?] for $90, M. E. Troth for $50 and R. H. Pollock for $30;

R. W. Moore was trustee (was this his profession--a professional

trustee?) and released the lien on 3 April 1899 (C6/400).

• 20 May 1897 (Z5/168): Mortgaging the land was not enough; the

Williamses sold "a portion of the real estate sold to them [by

Rousch; it] being simply and exclusively the upper second storey

of the large frame building that now stands on the northern edge

of the lot ••• together with the right of access to and from

the said upper or second storey for all purposes whatsoever."

C. R. Bitzer, T. J. Kitchen and Benjamin C. Garrett bought the

land as trustees; the real estate was "to be held ••• [by the

trustees] for the use and benefit of their associates in the

purchase, who are George M. E1lmore, Charles F. Russell, Howard

F. Wiley, W. T. Callar, J. E. Warner and Henry Bradley* with

full power ••• [in the trustees to] sell, mortgage, convey by

deed of trust, or otherwise encumber and lease the property and

the direction (which need not appear on record or be inquired

into by anyone dealing with ••• [the trustees]) of the

purchasers." The deed had several other interesting sections:

(a) the selling price was $1 plus the assumption of the lien of

YS/198.

(b) if the purchasers default, the liability "shall be limited

[to the purchasers and their associates] according to their

respective interests in the purchase and shall not extend

beyond that. • •• Bitzer shall be liable for the payment

*Presumably this is some type of "fraternal organization."

of 3/15 ••• Ellmore and Garrett and Callar and Bradley

• • • 2/15 ••• and others • . . 1/15."

(c) if the building is destroyed, the Williamses will "build

and complete" a one storey building "not less in size than

the present first or lower storey and [will build it] in

such manner . . . [so the trustees] may conveniently build

a second storey thereupon."

(d) the Williams "shall maintain a first storey ••• in good

repair so that the second storey shall always be safe and

convenient for use."

(e) taxes and insurance "shall be apportioned ••• upon the

basis of a fair valuation of their [Williams and the

others] respective interests, any disagreement • • • left

to the Commissioner of Revenue ••• for arbitration . . . his decision to be binding."

(f) any other questions shall be referred to the Judge of the

County Court for "arbitration and final settlement, his

deci sion to be binding."

WOW!

) • 19 April 1897 (Z5/358): The Williamses place another lien on

their land to secure a debt of $208.48 (plus interest) owed

W. E. Garrett and a debt of $100 due in 30 days to the Peoples

) National Bank of Leesburg. Paul W. Garrett was trustee and

released the lien in two parts--15 March 1901 (G6/501) and

10 May 1901 (H6/96).

On 1 April 1899 (C6/403) Nixon B./Mary E. Loveless of Herndon placed a

lien on their 5/12 acre in order to protect the Washington ~tional

Building and Loan Association from loss of their $300 loan to the

Love1esses. The ubiquitous Josiah C. Stoddard and Addison G. DuBois served

as trustees and released the lien on 13 September 1902 (K6/534).

Not wanting to be lien poor, the Love1esses took another lien (C6/408)

on the same day (1 April 1899, C6/408); this one, with R. W. Moore as

trustee, was intended to satisfy the anxiety of R. H. Pollock. The $250

debt was to be repaid within one year; the lien was released on 20 March

1901 (H6/67).

In order to continue their record of faithful service to the lien

companies, the Lovelesses placed another lien on all of their 5/12 acre

(less the land sold George Williams) on 20 March 1901 (H6/46). This lien,

organized to satisfy the concerns of Andrew G. Hutchinson and his loan of

$168 (which was due at 6% interest in one year), had Thomas Keith and

Walter T. Oliver as trustees; no release has been found for this poor lien.

Finally tiring of all of this, Nixon B./''Mary Etta" (Marietta?) Nixon

sold, for $400, all of the 5/12 acre of land they had bought from George

Williams in 1898 (except for the land they had already sold back to

Williams) to W. L. Palmer and H. B. Hutchinson. This sale, 25 August 1902

(K6/379) was subject to the buyers' assumption of the two outstanding

liens--C6/403 and H6/46.

IIB2: On 23 July 1890 (J5/180) R. Walton Moore, executor of Lawrence

Hindle, sold the remainder* of the Vaurters' 1/2 acre to Benjamin C.

Garrett for "$5 and other goods and valuable considerations." The lot had

a small dwelling house occupied by R. Williams and was described as being

the "land on Spring Street and north to northwest thereof and having for

its eastern boundary a small stream which is the west boundary of the lot

conveyed to Benj. Middleton by Moore and others ••• H5/509." The land

was supposedly all of Hindle's land fronting on Spring Street and adjoining

Middleton. Later deeds make it clear that the deed should have said all

land fronting on Elden Street.

*As noted in lIB, Hindle must have owned more than 1/2 acre. None of the deeds found for the land of IIB2 refer to a specific size, so no estimate of its size will be given.

Garret then sold this land to Allan M. Kendrick of Washington, D.C.

for "$5" on 1 July 1895(W5/313). The land was clearly identif ied as being

the same as Garrett got from Moore but was described as being Hindle's land

at the corner of Spring and Elden lying on Elden St. and west of a small

stream passing through the land.

Allan M. Kendrick, wife of C. E. Kendrick, sold this land to P. B.

Buell for $50 on 18 January 1899 (C6/259).

Perez B./Ellen M. Buell placed a lien on this land plus an additional

25 acres on 6 November 1899 (D6/539) in order to satisfy H. Clay Harding of

Ashburn, Loudoun County, that Perez would repay a $1000 debt within two

years. Charles P. Janney of leesburg was trustee and released the land on

17 June 1910 (Y7/125). The Buells still owned the land in 1910.

Jacob Laonhardt, Jere. Smith, Benjamin Caywood, B. W. Clark, John F. Hanna,

John P. Raub, and Joseph Bixler as the Trustees of the Methodist Episcopal

Church of Herndon for $50. This deed mentions that although the sale of

this land is referred to in D4/107, no deed was ever actually drawn, so

this deed is necessary (to satisfy all of the legal types). The deed

contains the conditions that the " ••• premises shall be used, kept,

ministry and membership of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the United

As a result of the suit, the 1/2 acre John Kitchen bought from Benjamin

According to B5/479 Benjamin Garrett used part of Kate E. Garrett's

estate to purchase both parcels of land from Charles Kitchen (the above .31

acre and the 1/2 acre of IIC1). Because of this and for "his love and

affection" for his wife, Benjamin "sold" these two parcels to his wife,

Kate, on 29 September 1882 (B5/479) for $5.

Kate E. Garrett and "her husband B. Garrettll of Orange County,

Florida, sold these two parcels to Sarah G. Garrett of Herndon for $1200 on

10 May 1884 (E5/34).

Sarah kept the land for four years before she sold both parcels (they

are described as two distinct parcels in the deed) to Tacey C. Garrett of

Herndon for $500 on 13 January 1888 (G5/427).

Tacey C. Garrett, now of Washington, D.C., sold all of this land,

along with another half acre, to Enos Garrett of Fairfax County for "$5" on

10 January 1891 (K5/404). The sale was made with the condition that when )

the "youngest living child" of Enos reaches 21 years of age, the two lots

of land are to be conveyed to his "living children."

Eventually all of Enos' "living children" finally arrived at age 21

for the two parcels were sold to George A. Williams on 1 June 1918 (H8/446;

this deed was repeated in Q10/529) for $3500. Just so life is not too

simple, the sale resulted from another lawsuit--Benjamin C. Garrett et al. )

vs Lillian A. Garrett et al.; no attempt has been made to learn the purpose

of the suit. In the May 1918 term of the Circuit Court Wilson M. Farr was

appointed special commissioner to convey the land to Williams. The sellers

of the parcels were Granville M./Mary Garrett, Benjamin C./Nellie S.

Garrett, Harry/Neva Garrett, Lillian A. Garrett, widow, and Enos L. Garrett

(in his own right and as Trustee)/Louisa Garrett, his wife. Presumably the

suit had some connection to the provision in K5/404.

IIC3: On 18 February 1861 (D4/57) Daniel K./Maria Calyer sold

approximately 3/4 acres to the Alexandria, Loudoun and Hampshire Railroads

for $80. The land (llat Herndon") was described as adjoining the Station

House and being all of that land within the boundaries (of the following

plat) "except so much thereof heretofore acquired by said [railroad]

company • • • further understood that the street laid out by said Calyer on

one of said lines shall forever remain open for the use of said company and

the public, with free and full right of way over the same." The plat does

not indicate the road, but presumably it was (is) Lynn Street.

Even though D4/57 claims that this land is about 3/4 acres (less land

already owned), the actual amount of land appears to be closer to 1/2 acre:

• A little trigonometry yields an area for the entire triangular

plot of 1.01 acres; subtracting the land already owned by the railroad as

part of its right of way (the plat indicates that the northeast boundary

lies precisely along the center of the 100 foot right of way) yields a net

area of 0.52 acre s.

• Assuming that the author of this little note on Herndon has done

his geometry correctly, the land Calyer sold the railroad is (was) the land

comprising the present Town Square. The Town acquired this land in two

parcels (see below) totalling 0.352 acres; adding to this the approximate

area of the road that, until 1974, lay directly in front of the Town Hall

(154' x 47') yields 0.52 acres.

• Subsequent deeds (to Calyer's sale, e.g., F4/59) describe this

land as being 0.5 acres.

Ignoring (or at least failing to think of) all counter arguments, the

total (new) land sold to the railroad by Calyer will be assumed to be about

1/2 acre.

IIC3a: On 30 March 1938 (Y12/248) the Southern Railroad Corporation

sold 0.235 acres to the Town of Herndon for $1000. The Washington and Old

Dominion railroad joined Southern in selling the land since the land was

part of the land (and equipment) leased to the "Washington and Old Dominion

Railroad, the so called Bluemont Branch (formerly Washington, Ohio and

We stern Railroad) of Southern Railway Company" on 13 April 1936 for five

years by Southern. The land was described as being on the southwest side

of the right of way of the original Washington, Ohio and Western railroad

(formerly the Alexandria, Loudoun and Hampshire railroad) and bounded as:

• on the northeast by a line running parallel with and 80 feet

distant southwestwardly from the center line of the main track

of the railroad,

• on the southeast by a public highway, State Road 28, which

extends across the railroad, being the road southeast of the

depot,

on the south by another street of the Town,• • on the southwest by Spring Street.

0.235 Acres.

IIC3b: On 13 July 1938 (G14/17) the Southern Railway Corporation

(joined again by the WO&D railroad) sold 0.117 acres to Mary McMillen. The

land was described as being a triangular parcel bounded by:

• on the northeast by a line running parallel with and 44 feet

southwest of the center line of the original Washington, Ohio,

and Western railroad on the south of Eldon (sic) Street,

• on the west by Station Street extending across the railroad

lID: Robert A./Matilda Matthews of Washington sold the 401 acres less

the 3 1/2 acres described above to Ancel St. John and J.R. Thompson on

18 October 1865 for $11,000 (F4/57). St. John and Thompson assumed the

deed of trust which appears to have been overdue--possibly the Matthews

were having financial difficulties. In addition to assuming this lien,

St. John and Thompson placed a lien of their own on the land on 18 October

1865 (F4/110) in order to secure a loan of $2000 Robert A. Matthews; they

agreed to repay $500 in 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. The lien was released by

Matilda Young, trustee, on 16 November 1866 (G4/457).

J. Harry/Jane Thompson then divided this land with Ancel/Isabella

St. John on 1 September 1867 (H4/290). In addition to the separate

ownership of the two parcels, the St. Johns paid the Thompsons $2500 as

compensation for the difference in the value of the two tracts of land.

Thompson Tract

a: begin at the southeast corner of the entire 401 acre tract

at a planted stone in the line of Farr's corner to William

Barker,

b: pile of stones in Van Dusen's line 1 1/2 poles above

recently marked pine (ba: N 20 W 323 poles),

c: to center of County road (cb: with Van Dusen's corrected

line, N 610 W),

d: south line of the track to Barker's line (dc: southerlY

along the center of County road as it now runs),

a: beginning (ad: along south line S 820 E)

198. 1 acre s*

*H4/290 does not assign a size to either of these two parcels; in fact, not until 1872 (04/390) does any deed even mention any size--they all merely refer to H4/290. Consequently, the sizes of Thompson's and St. John's parcels were deduced using this "logic": in 04/390 Austin Brown sold "151 acres 2 rood and 32 poles" to the Van Vlecks; this size was the result of a "recent survey" and the land was "all and singular that piece or parcel of land [of] ••• J4folio 464." Since in J4/464, the Thompsonssold all of the land remaining from their partition with St. John to Austin Brown [the only land they had sold before was 13 acres to Downing in 1860 (J4/398)], it might seem that the Thompsons must have had 164.7 acres and the St. Johns the remainder--230.8 acres. This "logic" unfortunately, is incorrect; a simple exercise in geometry shows that the Van Vleck land is approximately 150 acres in itself; consequently the "lSI acres 2 rood and 32 poles" must explicitely refer to only the Van Vleck land and the total land is 151.7 + 13 + 17 + 16.4 = 198.10 acres regardless of any inferences one might wish to read into 04/390; the 13, 17, and 16.4 acres refer to sales to Downing (see below). Another hint that this is correct is St. John's land: Ancel/Isabella sold about 30 acres in/near downtown Herndon themselves and sold the remainder to Lyman Ballou; Ballou sold about 107 acres before 1900 and had about 58 acres left then--30 + 107 + 58 = 195 acres which is absolutely consistent with Thompson having 198 acres! !

St. John Tract

A: begin at a planted stone in the center of the County road,

corner to Farr's heirs,

B: planted stone at the angle of the fence (BA: N [6]5 1/40 W

58 poles 8 links),*

C: center of County road leading through the tract

~) (CB: S 820 E) ,**

D: north line of the [401 acres] track and Van Dusen's line

(DC: northerly along the center of the County road as it now

runs) ,

E: gum tree at Folly Lick now marked by consent of Van Deusen

as a substitute for a fallen maple called for in former

deeds (ED: along Van Deusen's line, N 610 W),

F: large Chestnut Oak, corner to Orrison, Bready and this tract

(FE: up Folly Lick with the several courses and meanders),

G: stone in the center of the County road, corner to Bready

(GF: with Bready, S 50 E 240 poles 18 links),

A: beginning (AG: along County road, N 85 3/40 E 101 poles)

199.4 acres

*The deed is clearly in error; it says N 5 1/40 W but clearly, by reference to all earlier deeds, it must be N 65 1/40 W.

**Point C is unclear; according to where Elden and Monroe Streets now are (1981), point B is already on the County road [Monroe}, so point C is coincident with B; possibly this was not true in 1867. Probably, while point A is clearly in the road in 1867 (see "AG") the road did not follow "BA" so point B layoff the road in 1867 but this discrepancy has been obscured in the last 100 years of paving and regrading of Monroe St. Since no length is given for segment "CB", it is possible that these 2 points were very close together even in 1867 and so the discrepancy between then and now is not very large.

1101: John Harry/Jane Thompson of Washington, D.C., owned 164.7

acres after their partition with Ancel St. John in 1865. Even with the

$2500 the St. Johns paid the Thompsons as part of this partition, the

Thompson finances must not have been healthy--they placed a lien on their

land on 9 June 1868 (14/288) in order to secure a loan of $1487.39 due

Thomas P. St. John. The money was to be repaid in four installments (each

plus interest from 4 June 1868): $300 on 1 September 1868, $200 1 November

1868, $500 1 February 1869, and $487.39 on or before 15 April 1869; Ancel

St. John acted as trustee. As usual, if the Thompsons defaulted, St. John,

as trustee, would advertise for 30 days in some newspaper "printed and

published in the city of Alexandria" and then auction the land. The lien

was released on 29 April 1869 (J4/463).

11D1a: These financial difficulties apparently were real, for

according to J4/408 (28 January 1869) " ••• it became necessary under the

provisions of the said deed [14/288] to make sale of a portion of the land

conveyed by said deed • • • of trust. • 11. . Ancel St. John organized an

auction for 13 acres of this land; Benjamin W. Clark and Lawrence Hindle

bought the land for $221 and Ancel transferred the title to the land on 28

January 1869 (J4/408) •

Benjamin W./Matilda Clark and Lawrence/Susanah Hindle of Herndon did

not keep the land long; they sold it to Alonzo Downing of Washington, D.C.

on 10 March 1869 (J4/398) for $452 - a nice profit!

1101£ : In 1870 Alonzo J. Downing owned 46.4 acres (13 + 17 + 16.4)

of land from Thompson's tract. Since these parcels are adjacent to each

other and become mingled together, their subsequent history will be treated

together.

• 21 July 1869 (K4/80): Alonzo J. /Sarah A. Downing of Washington,

D.C., placed a lien on their 17 acres (K4/82) in order to guarantee Austin

P. Brown $388.74; $31.87 is due in 3 months, and again in 4 months while

$325 is to be paid in 14 monthly installments (starting 1 October 1869)-­

interest (no percent is given) is also to be paid. Samuel P. Brown of

Washington is trustee and releases the lien on 18 July 1870 (M4/196).

• 17 August 1870 (14/373): the Downings of "Herndon Station,

Township of Dranesville" place a lien on 30 acres (J4/398 plus K4/82) in

order to secure a loan of $500 due in one year, at 10% interest, to Isaac

N. Goodhue of Washington. Israel Dille of Washington is trustee; the lien

is released 20 July 1872 (04/417).

• 7 September 1870 (14/410): The Downings ask Samuel P. Brown of

Washington to be trustee for another lien, this one on the 16.4 acres the

Downings bought from Austin Brown [Samuels' brother?]. The lien was to

protect a debt of $483 ($161 due in 6, 12 and 18 months) owed Austin P.

Brown and was released 23 July 1872 (R4/245).

• 20 March 1871 (M4/248): The Downings place still another lien

on the 13 acres gotten from Clark/Hindle in 1869 plus the 17 acres bought

from Brown in 1869; again Israel Dille of Washington as trustee. The lien

was also to secure another debt owed Isaac N. Goodhue; just as in 14/373

the amount was $500 and the interest rate was 10%. The lien was released

on 20 July 1872 (04/417). The extraordinary similarity of these 2 liens

might suggest that M4/248 is merely a re-recording of L4/373; this,

however, is not true. This assertion is based on the release (04/417)

which refers to these two liens as being separate debts.

1 February 1872 (Q4/215): The Downings and Lyman D./Hannah• Ballou of Herndon decided to exchange land so that the road running between

the properties would actually be the true boundary rather than having a

small amount of Ballou's land on the west side of the road where the bulk

of Downing's land lay and similarly for Downing's small holdings east of

the road. Thus for $65 the BaUous sell the Downings all the land "lying

on the upper or easterly side of county road [Monroe Street between Madison

and Park] running between the lands of said Lyman D. Ballou and Alonzo J.

Downing and adjoining land of said Downing and one John H. Barker the same

being one acre more or less, said county road is 30 feet wide, the lower

[sic--mean upper] or easterly side of which is established at a point on

the south line of said Ballou's land where the land Ancel St. John and John

H. Barker converged prior to the laying out of said road [about 160 feet

north of Madison and Monroe]. Thence the lower or westerly side of road

runs N 200 E 25 rods and thence running due north the center of the road

being the boundary line," (I.e., Downing and Ballou exchanged land so that

all of Downing's property was on the east side of Monroe and all of Ballou

on the west side.

• 22 August 1872 (04/414): John W. Alvord and George W. Stickney

of Washington are appointed trustees to oversee a lien on all of the

Downings Thompson tract land (46 2/5 acres.)* This lien of $2000 is owed

, )

*Except, of course, the land of Q4/215.

the Freedman's Savings and Trust Company and is due in 1 year at 10%

interest. This lien is released on 7 October 1874 (T4/21).

• 22 August 1872 (T4/207): For some reason the transfer of land

from Downing to Ballou necessary to complete the exchange of land bordering

the County road did not occur until August. For $10, Downing sold Ballou

all the land he bought from Austin Brown which lies west of the center of

the county road, about 20 rods (1/8 acre).

• 10 September 1874 (R4/251): The Downings place another lien on

their 46 2/5 acres; this lien uses Charles Mankin of Broad Run Township,

Loudoun County, as trustee and is intended to protect a debt of $1800 (at

7%) owed Thomas Little also of Broad Run; the money is due in 5 years. The

lien is released 22 April 1887 (F5/626).

• 15 September 1874 (R4/298): Alonzo owes A. A. Whitney of

Washington $500 (plus 10% interest); Amos Crounse and George Rollins of

Herndon agree to guarantee the debt, due in 1 year. In order to protect

Crounse and Rollins, Downing places a second trust (R4/251 is the first

trust) on the 46.4 acres.* Stephen Killam of Herndon is the trustee and

releases the lien on 29 September 1875 (V4/102).

• 29 January 1876 (T4/484): Another lien, this one with Amos

Crounse, still of Herndon, as trustee, is geared to protect G. F. Rollins

of Washington, D.C. for possible loss of the $563.63 the Downings owe

him. Alonzo/Sarah agree to repay the money in 15 monthly installments of

$37.57 1/2 plus 10% (annual) interest starting 1 February 1876; they also

agree to insure the property with Mutual Fire Insurance Company of London,

*AEter the exchange with Ballou, Downing really owns about 47.3 acres.

Waterford, Virginia, and to assign policies 1100 and 1701 to Rollins.

Crounse releases the lien on 27 June 1877 (V4/198).

• 13 August 1877 (V4/219): Daniel Smith of Washington purchases

50 acres from the Downings for $8000; this deed specifies that this is the

3 parcels Downing bought from Hindle/Clark and Brown (plus the Ballou

exchange of land), the increase in land results from a recalculation after

a new survey. The land is sold subject to the lien of R4/251 written to

secure a debt owed Thomas Little*; Smith accepts responsibility for the

lien.

a: begin at a point in the center of the County road 15 feet

from the present line of fence, on the west side of said

road near line of fence between Ancel St. John and Lyman

Ballou's land, corner to St. John and Ballou, Amos Crounse

and Alonzo Downing and southwest corner of land herein

conveyed,

b: land of William Barker's heirs and point known as "Farr's

corner to William Barker" (ba: S 820 E along Crounse, John

H. Barker and others),

c: point opposite or nearly opposite house of Henry Bixler

(sic: Bicksler) in south line of County road (cb: N 20 W

along line of heirs of William Barker),

*Note the interesting quirk that R4/251 was released in April 1877-­probably this inconsistency arose because Downing actually sold Smith the land several months before the deed was recorded and when the sale took place the lien had not yet been released.

Daniel/Sarah L. Smith of Washington decided to try to emulate the

Downings--they placed a lien on their land to secure a debt of $2100 they

owed A. L. Barker and others. The lien, dated 13 August 1877 (V4/222), was

"payable in lumber and building material at cash price"; there is also a

provision for the repayment schedule--$200 in I, 2, ••• 8 months and $500

in six months, all at 7% and all payable with lumber. The wood did not run

out and the lien was released on 24 May 1878 (F5/48) by J. Joseph Albright

of Washington, the trustee.

The Smiths, I guess, could not figure a way to juggle all the liens

that Downing could, so they gave up the attempt and sold the land to Laura

R. Yount of Washington, D.C. for $3600 (a substantial loss) on 23 May 1878

(W4/284) "subject to deed of trust for $1800 due in five years from

September 4, 1874 given to Chas. L. Mankin of Green Spring, Loudoun

County • • • by Downing " [Downing's R4/251 lien] and two certain

judgments for $141.43 [Clark and Hindle vs Downing with interest from

2 January 1872 plus $8.84 Court costs] and $85.47 [Smoot and Perry vs

Downing with interest from 12 January 1876 and $8.61 in Court costs; $20

had already been paid of this total]." Yount accepts all of these debts.

On 1 April 1887 (F5/628) Laura R. Yount of Herndon places a lien on

this land since she owes George W. Bell $1300 and for which she agrees to

pay 6% interest and repay the money in 3 years. Charles Pomeroy of Herndon

acts as trustee and releases the land on 5 January 1901 (marginal note of

F5/628).

Laura (and husband Ephraim M.) place another lien on their 50 acres on

4 January 1901 (G6/49) in order to secure a debt of $1300 (at 6% interest)

due Philip W. Lawrence of North Bingham, County of Potter, Pennsylvania, on

on 13 April 1904 (P6/490).

IIDlf 2: Laura R. Yount's heirs (Clarence E.(son)/Clara C. Yount of

Prescott, Arizona; E. M. Yount (widower); Alice Moore Yount, single,

daughter; E. Claude Yount, bachelor, son; Maurice A.(son)/Elma B. Yount,

all of Herndon (except Clarence) sold Harold Hanes lot 1 for $1250 on 10

June 1925(N9/317).

)

*Notice that what the deeds call Madison Street is now called Jackson Street. Since this "error" is in three deeds from Yount (and her heirs), one asks if Jackson was once called Madison. This is not likely, for Barker named Jackson in his subdivision (see Chapter F) long before Yount owned the land; consequently this is likely just an ordinary "run of the mill" error. .
