had to wait through the lapse of time
for proper appreciation and recogni-
tion Of their services in the cause of
governmental reforms. Berkeley was
royalist and believed that all govern
ment should emanate from the king
and not from the people. Free schools
and the printing press were abomina:
tions in his sight, for they enlightened
the masses and made possible popular
rule.
Before the year 17335 large portion
Of the region between the OccUquan
and The Potomac mad been occupied,
cleared of its forests and put under
cultivation. A regular ferry had been
established as early as 1725 "for the
convenient transportation across the
Occoquan Of coaches, wagons and 9th.
er carriages and travellers on foot at
the following rate OF terriuge: For
every fooiman, 3 pence; for every head
of meat cattle, 3 pence; Tor every horse,
5 pence; for every coach, chariot or
Chaise with four wheels, or wagon,
IS pence; for every two wheel chariot
or cart, 10 pence, and for hogshead
of tobacco, 3 pence and no more" Un-
der an act OF the general assembly pro-
tecting the franchises of all ferrymen
of the colony, at that time in force and
for 100 years thereafter, "any person
convicted Of setting wayfarer over
ream near to ferry was made liable
to pay for every such offence five
pounds lawful money of the common
wealth. In 1915 tie county Of Stafford
had ordered That a beat be kept at this
ferry ID continual readiness night and
day 30 carry over the mounted rangers
n pursuit OF prowling savages." Here
also was located one of a chain Of block
houses occupied by scouts, watchers
and overookers. This was fifty years
before the regular Kings Highway was
established from Williamsburg to the
Blue Ridge. These scouts had a rowing
commission from the governor with ord
ers ''to protect the frontiers at all
hazards" Each trooper was well and
completely armed with case Of good
pistols, 8 csrbine or short gun and a
cutting sword, together with two
pounds of powder aud ten pounds OF
lead bullets or high swan shot and
ample subsistence Of meal, pork and
beef and hard biscuit" No chronicler
has left Us the story of the deeds of
these rangers, OF heir perilous expedi- |
tions, forsys and encounters. They re-
main dead secrets in the valleys, among |
the hills and mountain slopes and along |
The rivers and creeks. We only know |
that they established security in the |
soliludes and that the axe and the plow |
and the cabin followed fast in their
tracks. w. II. s.
