Excerpt from Gloucester: One of the First Chapters of the Commonwealth of Virginia

When one attempts the early history of a colonial county he is overcome by a feeling of helplessness. A few early records, a legend or two, stand like silent watchtowers, around which he must weave his own suppositions, the hearsays of his childhood, and a warrantable induction from existing facts.

This sketch applies to Gloucester and its dear people, who from one border line to the other are my brethren. To them all without exception - to the road-side farmer who hoes his stumpy corn-field; to the jolly fisherman, whose conch-shell trumpet heralds fish along the high-way; to the judge upon his bench and the parson in his pulpit, and to Gloucester's sons and daughters scattered far and near - I dedicate this sketch.

Chesapeake bay, in boisterous friendliness, knocks at Gloucester's south-eastern door; the capricious "Mock lack" hugs its eastern border, sending inland the landlocked North, the broad-sweeping Ware, and the beautiful Severn; while the York, but a lesser bay, born of the hesapeake, washes it south-westerly, cutting it apart com York county and James City.

In the year 1631 the vast territory of Virginia is divided into eight shires; one of these shires is Pamaunee. Out of this Pamaunkeeshire Gloucester was carved.
