Mr.. King soon dropped out Of the
enterprise, and Captain Bluett SUI
perintended the erection of the works.

the village and murdered berkeley and

ruins Of the iron furnace. In those
mills was ground the first flour export
ell from America, much of it going to
South America. From that time on
Warwick grew rapidly until it became
an important manufacturing and ship
ping village, ms 1t was at the head Of
navigation.
Shortly before the outbreak of the
Revolutionary war Colonel Archibald
Cary acquired possession of tho vast
estate known us Ampthill, that lay
on the James river and inland along
Failing creek for distance. The es-
tate was named after one In England.
Colonel Cary was chairman of tho
committee that drafted the first bill
Of rights and state constitution In

war broke out he took an active part
In the military operations Of his coun-
