The first Richard, also had son,
! Henry who entered Gray's Inn Novem-
Der, IA, 1874. He was the first Ameri-
can known to enter this inn. He must
have died without issue. Richard

No find in looking over this Mid.
dleseX register that as early as 1850
the white people objected to the meet
| ing of negroes on the various planta-
tions. In this year at General AS
| sembly at James City the following
| act was passed:
| Whereas. the frequent meeting OF
considerable numbers of negro slaves
under pretence of feast and bur1alls
| Is judged and deemed OF dangerou1
| consequences, for prevention whereof
| In future be 1t enacted, ETC., 1t shall
not be lawful for any negro or other
slaves to arm himself with any club
staff. gun, sword or any other weapon,
weapon Of offence or defence, nor TO
| go or to depart from his home without
| permission from his master"
| An act In 1852 asserts that noe
| master or overseer shall at any time
| after the 20th OF January next know
|lngly permit or suffer any negro or
slave not properly belonging to them
| to RENAME or be upon his or their plan-
! tation moro than four hours at any
/ one time"
Old registers are very candid. They
set down not only births, deaths, ana
marriages, but when those command
tnents which are set up on either side
l or the nulnit and read solemnly every
4 Sunday are broken, the old register
records the wanton breach concisely
| but with emphasis. Perhaps 1t Is we'll
! that the entry Is shut fast within the
| bruised covers of a crumblt1g BOOK,
but the antiquarian has 6 feeling
of regret over sin committed ages and
| ages ago, and realizes salty that the
stain upon the old register Is hard TO
/ rub out.
A clean face is beautiful thing.
