A bond to provide horses for George Washington’s Army. Dated August 21, 1780 and issued by Lancaster County issued to Michael Breitenback of the Township of Lebenon for “one black Mare four years old Forteen Hands high for a wagon which has been appraised by two freeholders, on aframation at the Sum of Twenty Nein Pounds 8 pence…” Washington’s Army was in dire need of horses and these bonds were issued to the owners of horses who both willingly and unwillingly saw their horses march off to war. A very rare piece of Revolutionary history.
Bacons Rebellion 1676 (Jamestowne)
Bacon’s Rebellion was a revolt led by Nathaniel Bacon in 1676 against the injustices of William Berkeley, the Governor of Virginia. Bacon was actually a cousin of William Berkeley, the Governor of Virginia. Before the struggle for freedom commenced in 1776 in America, the citizens of Maryland, Virginia, were living in peace, taking care of their plantations. The British monarchy ruled over the colonies, and the citizens were happy with the progress of the lands. The British monarchy invited settlers to domesticate the lands as well as create cash crops. But with Native American settlements near the border, things were always tense with the citizens living in close proximity. In 1676, Nathaniel Bacon, the son of wealthy parents in Suffolk, had arrived in Virginia to take care of the tobacco plantations of his family. He even had a seat in the House of Burgesses, a ruling Council that handled the judicial and administrative affairs of the state. Virginia was ruled by William Berkeley. But the frequent tensions between the Native Americans and the settlers, the low protection provided to the farmers working on his plantations, as well as the proximity of the attacks near the borders had rendered many injuries. This led to a dispute between Nathaniel Bacon and William Berkeley, which finally erupted into a widespread revolt, known as Bacon’s Rebellion. Bacon and his army marched back to Jamestown and burned down all the official buildings, while Berkeley fled to Northampton.
