1766 death of John Chisholm of Hanover County, Virginia – The collection includes account books from Hanover and York counties, Va., 1727-1775, and from Frederick’s Hall Plantation in Louisa County, Va., 1849-1862. The relationship, if any, between the former and the latter is unclear. There is also a letter copybook, 1757-1775, of Major John Snelson, probably a descendant of Elizabeth Snelson (fl. 1727-1728). Snelson wrote chiefly to Edward Harford, Jr., of England about tobacco shipments and imported merchandise. The relationship between this volume and the others is also unclear. Colonial-era merchants represented in ledgers include Colonel John Chisolm (d. 1766), A. Gordon (fl. 1750-1751), and William Montgomery (fl. 1751), all of Hanover County. Activities documented in these ledgers include tobacco sales and mining and mineral export, the daily work of merchants, and importing operations. Activities documented in the antebellum ledgers from Frederick’s Hall include lumber production, manufacture and sale of shoes, tobacco production and trade, and merchandizing. There is also some information on wages for slaves and free laborers. Sheet music for an 1854 polka is also included. Note: This collection was originally divided into parts A and B. The collection has been rearranged chronologically.

1832 October – Pension Application of Walter Chisholme S9169 VA
Transcribed and annotated by C. Leon Harris
Virginia/ Hanover County
On this [blank] day of October 1832 personally appeared in open court before the court of the county of Hanover now sitting Walter Chisholme a resident of the said county and state aged on hundred years who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of congress passed June 7 th 1832.
……
That he was born in the county of Hanover in the same neighbourhood where he now resides as well as he can recollect on the 19th of April 1732 having seen a family register many years ago in which it was so stated – but that register is now lost. That when the revolutionary war broke out he was Ensign in Capt Anderson’s Company of Hanover Militia. That he was very frequently drafted and never hired a substitute except once [James Hall, pension application S6946]. That owing to his great age his recollection of the events of that period is very obscure and that consequently he cannot recollect the number of tours precisely, or the officers under whom he served.
That he remembers serving under Captains Anderson and [Francis] Underwood Colonels Symme [possibly Charles Simms] and [William] Dandridge and Generals Lafayette Muhlenburgs [sic: Peter Muhlenberg] and [Thomas] Nelson –
That several times during his service he crossed James River at the Manacin town [sic: Manakin] and marched into the lower country of Virginia into the neighbourhood of Williamsburg and York and
That he was in the retreat under Lafayette through Henrico Hanover Sopsylvania [sic: Spotsylvania] Orange Culpeper and Louisa Counties and was at the cutting of the road called the Marquiss Road [sic: Marquis Road, 12-14 Jun 1781] through Louisa & Albamarle counties.
He recollects being in no battle.
That to the best of his recollection he served at least six tours and that he was always an Ensign and his service continued at least eight months. That he had a commission but does not recollect by whome it was signed or what has become of it and has no documentary evidence – that he knows of no person whose testimony he can procure to any part of his services and that he cannot procure a clergyman to made the usual certificate.
…….
And that he would refer for his character and reputation to Charles Thompson Jun’r. and James Underwood Esquires.
He hereby relinquishes all claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state or Teritory.
He replies to:
Question 1st

To Question 3d
I have always lived in the same neighbourhood
To Question 4th

HANOVER COUNTY, VIRGINIA RENT ROLLS 1763
The following is the Hanover County, Virginia rent roll list that is commonly called “Rent Roll of Hanover County, Virginia, 1753-1763”. In reality it is just 1763’s rent roll list that has a few notations about prior years within the 1763 list. I ordered the information from the noted periodical anticipating it would have several years of rent-rolls – unfortuanately not – it only has the following information transcribed.
The list can be found on Ancestry.com here: Ancestry.com. UK, American Loyalist Claims, 1776-1835 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 2013.
