THE HISTORY OF THE BLACKBURN FAMILY
by Louisa D. F. Hogue,
recopied by Ruth C. S. Black
with an introduction by Brendon Hanafin*
Rippon Lodge is an 18th century plantation house
located in Woodbridge, Virginia. The house was built
circa 1745 by Colonel Richard Blackburn of Rippon,
England. Blackburn was one of the founding fathers
of the Port of Dumfries, and a carpenter by trade. His
son, Thomas, served in the Revolutionary War under
George Washington and Washington was a frequent
guest. Washington’s nephew, Bushrod, married Anne
Blackburn at Rippon and later owned the plantation
after Thomas’ death.
This manuscript, written by Louisa Hogue in the late
19th century is a remarkable genealogical document
and offers a unique glimpse into Rippon Lodge’s

storied past. Her grandson, Antarctic explorer Admiral
Richard Blackburn Black, purchased Rippon in the
early 1950’s. Prince William County purchased Rippon Lodge from the Black family in 2000 and is in the
process of restoring the house and readying the site for public access.
Although the house and grounds remain closed during the restoration, the public is invited to Rippon Lodge on
the 3rd and 11th of May for a day of tours, hikes and archeological programs.

before we reached our destination, we made frequent
inquiries about the road, mostly from negroes, whose

cabins, almost the only habitations of this wild region, we passed at considerably long intervals. The
information given was usual[ly] accompanied by the assurance that it was a "right fair way."
Arriving at Neapsco Mills after dark, we were recieved [sic] by the hospitable Mr. Atkinson, to
whom I gave the letter of introduction, after which supper and bed were welcome refreshment.
In the morning, "mine host" mounted his horse, and rode behind the buggy, accompanying
and directing us to the old home of my ancestors. He showed me through the Mansion House, each
room of which (except a dark room under the slanted roof) was supplied with an open fireplace, and
a mantle with fluted woodwork. The walls were all paneled work, and so perfectly was the lumber
seasoned and joined that not a seam or imperfection was to be seen. The foundation was going to
ruin. There were great gaps where it appeared that the bricks composing it had probably been
removed for use elsewhere. The outside collarway and door were also in ruins. From the dooryard
in front of the house, the Potomac River was visible through openings in the forests of that wooded
ridge, the same on which Mount Vernon stands, some twelve miles away to the northward. Scarsely
[sic] more than a stone's throw from the mansion is the private graveyard, where our ancestor,
Richard Blackburn, lies buried. Mr. Atkinson conducted me to this spot, chalked over the old gray
stone which covered the grave, and traced out the letter[s] with a little twig, so that I might read the
inscription entire, except in two or three places, one on either edge where a small chip had been
broken off, and again where only the "V" of Virginia was legible, the remainder of the word being
too much worn for even this method of deciphering to bring it out. Following is the INSCRIPTION.

Note: The stone from which the above was copied is broken in two, and in one place quite a scale has been
broken out of the right-hand side of the inscription and a smaller one on the left.
Returning from the tomb, Mr. Atkinson pointed out the location of the old-time slave cabins,
on the brow of a ravine back of the house. Between the ravine and the Mansion was a spacious door-
yard where numerous large lilac bushes were loaded with bloom, and the grass was blue with grape
-3-Prince William Reliquary Vol. 2, No. 1 (January 2003)
hyacinths, (or "blue bottles") both perfuming the air with their rich fragrance. Before departing, Mr.
Atkinson drew from the house the last of the rude, iron shutter-holders, evidently made by a
blacksmith, of clumsy workmanship, and presented it to me, as a souvenir of the historic old place.
He also gave me a fragment from a piece of petrified log, lying in front of the house.
As we left the spacious grounds, I plucked a spray of apple blossoms from a tree by the large
gate. I had previously gathered Lilac blossoms and grape hyacinths, ("blue bottles", as we used to
call them,) and as Mr. A. al[so] called them.) On the road back to Neapsco Mills, I found bird-foot
violets (Viola pedada) a small cluster of which I secured as a further memento of Old Ripon Lodge
Estate.
After tarrying a while to arrange my flowers for pressin[g], and receiving directions about the
road, we set out for Dumfries, the old County Seat of Prince William County, in the early days, also
the home of our great-great grandfather John Baylis.
In the old church-yard at Dumfries I copied a part of the inscription on the an old gravestone,
very much broken, of which Mr. Rounds had told me. This inscription, so far as the fragments could
be found and placed in their proper position for deciphering, and time sufficed for the work, will be
given below:

Note.- Mr. Rounds had the beginning of this inscription a little f [sic] different, but, by
placing fragments where they evidently belonged I got the reading as given.
Who this young Blackburn was I have no means of knowing. But my theory is that, as
Blackburns lived in Gloucester County, he may have been a relative of the family at Ripon Lodge, on
a visit there, and that a pleasu[re] party in his honor was thus engulfed in the waters of the Potomac,
at or near the mouth of Quantico, a tributary stream. This stream is mentioned in some of the
Blackburn and Baylis deeds, in the descriptions of lands. (BH NOTE: This person was Blackburn’s
son from his first marriage. He was probably living with his father at Rippon at the time.)

[Virginia Gazette, Apr. 24, 1752, p. 2]
After returning to Manassas, Mr. And Mrs. Rounds called on me at my hotel, interested to
learn the results of the trip. At that time Mr. R. told me of two goblets and two or three other
souvenirs from Ripon Lodge owned by Mr. J.B.T. Thornton, a lawyer of Manassas. I called at this
residence, and Mrs. Thornton kindly showed me these interesting relics, purchased at the sale of the
Blackburns, when they were leaving Ripon Lodge, by Mr. Thornton's ancestors. They had been
handed down from generation to generation, as precious heirlooms because of their connection with
the noted family and famous old place. They were very highly prized, and carefully packed away in
cotton, or other soft substance, for safe keeping. The goblets were of heavy flint glass, and when
held by the stem in one hand, and thumped with the finger-nail of the other, they would emit a
musical ring like silver bells. Mr. Thornton was fond of ringing them for his friends, when proudly
exhibiting them and the other similarly prized Ripon Lodge relics in his posession. On returning to
the court house to resume work, and enquiring for Mr.
Thornton, who was attending court, he was called in
and introduced to me. I asked if, there was any
consideration which would induce him to part with one
of those goblets to a Blackburn descendant. He very
courteously replied, "I could not sell one of them. I
might possibly give one to you." And promising to
talk with Mrs. Thornton about it, passed on to pressing
duties. On his return from dinner, he entered the
record office bearing the precious goblet, which he
School House and Well courtesy Brendon Hanafin presented to me, and which I was exceedingly proud
and happy to receive. If people who had no blood
relationship with the Blackburns thus treasured articles associated with them and their home, how
much more highly should we, connected by blood, prize this fine souvenir.
At my first interview with Mr. Rounds, to whom I had been referred by the editor, as one
well versed in historic matter, that gentleman had shown me an old surveyor's plat, (with a rat-eaten
hole in one portion of it,) which he had found in the wall of an old mansion that he had bought and
was restoring. On this plat were two tracts marked Richard Blackburn, one of [blank] acres, the
other of [blank] acres; and another tract [blank] acres was marked William Baylis. As Blackburn and
Baylis were evidently my ancestors, I asked if he would part with the paper. His reply was that
"money could not buy it." At this time Mr. Rounds told me that the first pitched battle between the
Army of the Potomac, under McDowell, and the army of Northern Virginia, under Beauregard,
occurred Thursday, July 18th, at Blackburn's Ford, 3 ½ miles from Manassas, same distance from
Centreville. McDowell's forces lay at Centreville, Beauregard's at Manassas. This Battle on
Thursday was the opening fight of the first Bull Run Battle or preliminary to the main battle which
occurred on Sunday. Mr. R. thought that the "Blackburn's Ford" above, "was named for Thomas
Blackburn, who owned a large tract on the Fairfax side of Bull Run, an[d] had a daughter Sarah
Jane." It seems more probable that the ford was named for Col. Richard Blackburn, who, as early as
1733-1735, had large tracts on both sides of Bull Run. Richard's son, Col. Thomas, was father of
this Thomas who had a daughter Sarah Jane.
One day, while in Manassas, working on records, I was introduced to one H. Ashton Ramsay,
of Baltimore, who was also looking up the Blackburns. This gentleman informed me that, about
1735-1740, Richard Blackburn married Mary, daughter of Richard Watts, and widow of Col. Henry
-5-Prince William Reliquary Vol. 2, No. 1 (January 2003)
Ashton, of West Moreland County, Va. This Mr. Ramsay was a descendant of Co. Henry Ashton
and Mary Watts, and was interested in the Blackburns because of this intermarriage with the widow
Ashton. He referred me to a note in Haydon's work confirming his statement, also stating that
Richard Watts was a relative of Dr. Watts, the hymnologist's, and that he, Richard, was one of the
executors of Henry Ashton's will, dated 1730. In a letter from Mr. Ramsay, he states that "The
Blackburns, Ashtons, Watts, and Fawkes all came from Stafford and Lancaster counties, England.
There is a town in Lancaster county called Blackburn, and one called Ashton." Rev. Haydon has
since sent me the following: "Col. Henry Ashton, b. July 30, 1671; m. (first) Elizabeth Hardidge;
(second) Mary Watts, dau. of Richard Watts, Gent., by Mary his wife." Also "Richard Watts was a
relative of Dr. Watts the hymnologist." Also, "Richard Watts was one of the executors of Henry
Ashton's will, Cople Parish, Westmoreland County, Va., 1731. If Richard Blackburn was married
only once, the foregoing facts give mr [me?] the names of our ancestress, Mary Watts, also her
parents, Richard Watts and Mary his wife. I know from Prince William County, Va., records, Deed
Book T. P. 184, that Richard's wife was Mary. The deed was one of assignment from Mary
Blackburn, who assigns to her son, Thomas Blackburn, his heirs, etc. all her "title, claim and
inheritance in and to the third part of the profits of the estate of Col. Richard Blackburn deceased,
while under the management of Col. John Baylis deceased which has never been settled with me."
The indenture, from which this quotation is made is dated Aptil [sic] 11th 1774, and is witnessed by
Alex. Stephens and William Baylis. This William Baylis is without doubt my great grandfather, who
married Elizabeth Turner in Fauquier County, Va., in 1780. William was son of John and Jane
(Blackburn) Baylis.
John Baylis, who "dedicated" the monument to Col. Richard Blackburn, was also his
executor, as is proven by a bond on p. 27 of a very old Bond Book, among the records of Prince
William County, Va. This bond, executed by John Baylis, William Eustace, and William Grant,
gent., for "John Baylis gent., Executor of the Last Will and Testament of Richard Blackburn, gent.,
Deceased" is dated July 27, 1757, and the 31st year of "the reign of our Sovereign Lord George the
Second." The amount of the bond is £6000 [?]. The fact, clearly indicated in the old records, that it
was almost, if not quite a universal custom to name one's sons and sons-in-law as executors, strongly
indicates that John Baylis was son-in-law of Richard Blackburn. But happily, we are not left to this
slender evidence of his relationship. My Aunt Lucy Ann (Fawcett) Marshall had told me that the B.
in her Mother's name was for Blackburn, and that somewhere in the family there were Blackburns,
but she had forgotten where. This was my only clue till the deputy clerk of court at Manassas found
the following deed for me: On pp. 145 to 147 of Deed Book W. [?], is recorded a deed, executed
May 17th, 1785, by "William Baylis, Elizabeth his wife, Henry Baylis, Thompson Randolph, Aquilla
Dyson, Lucy his wife, George Reno, and Jane his wife" conveying to John Chick 385 acres of land,
"wheron the said Chick now lives, Including three parcels of Land in one Survey the said Lands was
purchased by Richard Blackburn, gent., one piece from William Ridley the other two from Chas.
Cornwell which Lands the sd. Blackburn Gave to his daughter, Jane Baylis.” Etc. In the description
of the boundary, it appears that this tract of 385 acres lay along "the road that Leads to Dumfries," for
a distance of 26 poles and that one of the lines crosses "the North Run of Quantico." -- This clearly
proves a number of things: First, Richard Blackburn had a daughter Jane who married a Baylis.
Second: Jane had two sons, William and Henry, and three daughters one, (Ann, deceased, as will
more fully appear under the Baylis Family,) one married Thompson Randolph; another, Lucy,
married Aquilla Dyson; the third Jane, (or Jean) married George Reno, - for these are her heirs
deeding land Jane had inherited from her father, Richard Blackburn.
In the Old Bond Book, referred to above. P.-

Will and Testament of John Baylis.- William Brent, James Nisbit, and Thomas Blackburn are her
security in the sum of L 4000 current money of Virginia. This Thomas Blackburn is evidently James'
brother; at least they are both children of Richard; whether they have the same mother is not
-6-Prince William Reliquary Vol. 2, No. 1 (January 2003)
absolutely certain, though I find no evidence that Richard was married more than once. The
following exerpt from Pr. Wm. Co., Va., records is decisive: Deed Book W, p. 422:- Jan. 27th, 1787,
Thomas Blackburn Esq. Deeds to William Carr a "tract or parcel of Land Lying and being on
Quantico Creek, containing by Estimation two acres, "etc purchased by his father, Col. Richard
Blackburn from "John Carr father of the said William Carr, in 1744." Thomas Blackburn warrants
etc, against all claims of his heirs, etc., "also against the Dower of his "Lady, Mrs. Christian
Blackburn." Etc.
From Rev. Hayden I have the following items: Christian Scott, b. Mar. 4, 1745; d. - ; m. -
Col. Thos. Blackburn, b. 1740 (?); d. Oct. 27, 1807. Will June 15, 1807, -Jan. 4, 1808; son of
Richard Blackburn of Ripon, Yorkshire, (England, I suppose), and his wife, Mary Watts.
Haydon gives the children of Thomas and wife as "Capt. Richard Sco[t?] B., Thomas B. (Jr.),
Jullia Ann (who married Bushrod Washington) and Catherine, (who married Henry S. Turner.) He
omits the Mrs. Crawford mentioned in Thomas' will.
From Col. Richard Blackburn’s Epitaph it is shown that he was an “Inseparable Friend” of
Hon. William Fairfax, who, with the “other Gents of Distinction,” followed him to the grave. This
Hon. Wm. Fairfax was father-in-law to Lawrence Washington, original owner of Mt. Vernon, who,
in 1743, built the first residence, (the middle portion of the present house.) Traditions of Pr. Wm.
Co. at Manassas say that Richard Blackburn built it, (i.e., he was the mechanic, or master builder.)
But I have not been able to obtain any records to confirm this tradition. It is altogether credible,
however, as Richard is described as “Carpenter” in the deeds of these times, and, being a neighboring
land owner, as well, is quite likely to have been employed by Washington in the construction.
Lawrence Washington, by his Will, left Mt. Vernon to his younger half-brother, George. Young
George must have been a frequent visitor at both Mt. Vernon and the house of Lawrence’s father-in-
law, and, without doubt, often met Richard Blackburn, the “inseparable friend” of Fairfax. It was at
the latter’s home, I believe, that young George Washington met Lord Fairfax, proprietor of the
“Northern Neck of Va.,” the vast domain lying between the York and Potomac Rivers. Lord Fairfax
employed young Washington as his surveyor, in which capacity he served for some time. The estate
of Wm. Fairfax was about six miles to the southward from Mt. Vernon, or about half way between
Mt. Vernon and Ripon Lodge, therefore a neighboring estate to that of the Blackburns.
Col. Richard and Mary (Watts) Blackburn’s son Thomas, (i.e. Col. Thomas Blackburn Sr.)
married Christian Scott, (dau. Of Rev. James Scott, according to Bishop Meade.) They had a
daughter Annie, (Hayden gives her name Julia Ann,) who married Hon. Bushrod Washington,
Assoicate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, and George Washington’s favorite nephew, to whom he
left Mt. Vernon. This Mrs. Bushro[d] Washington had two nieces who married two nephews of her
husband Bushrod. These nieces were daughters of her brother Capt. (or Major) Richard Scott
Blackburn and his wife Judith Ball; their names, according to Haydon, were Jane Charlotte
Blackburn, who married John Augustine Washington (son of Corbin and Hannah Lee Washington)
and Anna Maria Thomasina Blackburn, who married Bushrod Corbin Washington, brother of John
A., above. Thus two sisters married two brothers. Bishop Meade, in “Old Churches and Families of
Va.” refers to these ladies as Mrs. Jane and “Polly” Washington. These three intermarriages of the
Washingtons and Blackburns show conclusively the social position of the Blackburns. Meade
confuses Richard Blackburn Sr. with his son Thomas, but confirms the above three intermarriages of
the two families. He also says, “Old Mrs. Blackburn with her four grand-daughters, Jane, Polly,
Christian, and Judy Blackburn, daughters of Mr. Richard Blackburn, were much at Mt. Vernon”- - -
“Two of them, Jane and Polly, married nephews of Judge Washington and settled in Jefferson. One
of them, Judy, married Mr. Gustavius Alexander,” (Hayden gives the name Gustavius Brown
Alexander.) “A sister of these ladies, Miss Christian Blackburn,” died single, according to both
Meade and Hayden.
From Will Book I, of Pr. Wm. Co. Records I have the following exerpt: (P. 147) “Estate of
Major Richard Scott Blackburn Deceased” in apc [a/c]. with Thomas Blackburn Jr. Administrator.”
-7-Prince William Reliquary Vol. 2, No. 1 (January 2003)
The apc [a/c] runs from March 2nd, 1805, to March 19th, 1806. Apc [a/c] presented to Court July 7th,
1806. Among credits or apc [a/c] are “Diff. on Baltimore from paymaster U.S. Army left by
deceased $154.16.” Also “money due for rations and pay Rcd from acct. War Department Office
$40.30,” etc. This Major B. is evidcently the Capt. B. of Hayden, and Thomas, his executor, is his
brother.
From Deed Book R. L. pp. 56 and 57, - I have the following:
May 4th, 1835, Elizabeth Blackburn, Sarah Jane Blackburn, Richard Scott Blackburn,
Elizabeth Sinclair Blackburn, and John Sinclair Blackburn deed to Robert Marshall a tract of land
containing 285 acres "beginning near the mouth of a small branch called Fox branch, running south
68* [sic] West 82 poles"---" thence north 62* West 276 poles to Bull Run thence down said Run
with the several meanderings thereof" etc. The plat of survey by William Kinchelow Nov. 12th,
1805 gives it as 267 acres, surveyed for Col. Thomas Blackburn. Robert Ratcliffe by a survey of
same Feb. 1835 makes it 285 acres. The parties to this deed are evidently the heirs of Thomas
Blackburn Jr., son of Col. Thomas Blackburn of Ripon Lodge. The first, Elizabeth, is without doubt,
the widow of Thomas Jr., the other, Sarah Jane, etc., are the children.
WILL BOOK I., P. 360, - has the following:-
COL. THOMAS BLACKBURN'S WILL.
In the name of God amen. I Thomas Blackburn son. Of Rippon Lodge in the County of
Prince William ans [sic] state of Virginia being in perfect memory do make this my last will &
Testament hereby revoling and annulling all former wills & Testaments. Imprimis, I bequeath to the
children of my deceased son Richard Blackburn my tract of land whereon I reside commonly called
Rippon Lodge together with all the lands which I own ajoining & contiguous to the same, to them the

Washington Esq. (the same debt being contracted by me for and on account of my said son Richard,)
And I further desire and bequeath that in case my said children do not pay the said debt together with
all interest & costs that may hereafter accrue or arise on the same debt that in such case so much of
the said tract of lands be sold by my Executors or Administrators as will be sufficient to discharge

POLL TAX LISTS FOR PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, VIRGINIA
MANASSAS DISTRICT (1940s)
Transcribed by Beverly R. Veness
Copies of the 1940's poll tax lists for Prince William County are kept in the manuscript holdings at
RELIC. A photocopy of the lists has been made and bound. The bound copy (VA 975.5273 Pri) is
currently on the “New Books” shelf in RELIC. The listings give the person's name with a record of which
years of the previous three that taxes were paid; thus the list in 1944 includes the fees paid for 1941-
1944. The lists for the years 1944-1949 have been combined and provide a "census" of those who had
paid their poll tax 1941-1949. Reported districts in the Poll Tax Lists for Prince William County are
Brentsville (Prince William Reliquary, Vol. 1, No. 2), Coles (Prince William Reliquary, vol. 1, No. 3),
Dumfries including Quantico Town (Prince William Reliquary, Vol. 1, No. 4), Gainesville, Manassas
District (this issue) & Town and Occoquan District & Town. The remaining districts will be transcribed in
upcoming issues of Prince William Reliquary.
