Different brafiches

of the fainiiy bare differentftadi^ns

as

toits origin, andthe

philologists who

hare

been

consulted npon

the

subject

do not

agree

in their views as to the nationality of the'

name. Professor

Bchele

de Vere, of Virginia University, who isf

a recognized authority

upon

such matters, is of the opinion

that

(

the

name

is

of Scottish

origin, and that it is a corruption

of the

|

name Queensberry, and in

this view he

is

supported

by Dr. Wil- i.

liam

D.

Quesenberry,

of Milford, Caroline

county,

Virginia. Dr.

f-

Quesenberry

states

that

the tradition

that

has

come

down

to

him

\

is

that

the family is of Scottish origin; and he believes

the name

has been

corrupted from

Queensberry.

It appears, however,

that

|

no such patronymic as Queensberry exists in Scotland. There

is,

\ - - ^

..a

^ n w

indeed, a

Scotch

nobleman bearing the double title of D uke of county, Virginia, where he is a Justice o ^ ' ...

Buccleuch

and he

the Duke of [ unacquainted

with

some other language, an e a ong

of

honor appertaining

to

that branch of the Douglas f it as a scrap-book.

Dr.

Hyde Clark,

of

Xondon,

a

\

states

that he

is inclined

to think Quis^berry is

a

Dutch name,

bu t declines to give an authoritative opinion. Mr. Bernard Kettle, r

given an opinion

that

the

name

is

of Dutch origin; xmdit-is.stated ^

in support

of

this view that vast numbers of Dutch Protestants, J

fleeing from th e persecution of

the

bloody Duke of Alva, settled [

in England during the reign of Queen Elizabeth;..and

that these

emigrants

added largely

to

the personal nomenclature of England,

Jhe iMffiiBon

of bumerouB-members

of the family now living in

various parts of Virginia is that their ancestors came froin Eng-

nd.

The fact that the

branches

of

dicate-the origin

of the

from

Christianbury Craig, amountam

in the extreme north of Cumberland county, England, and which,

indeed,

lies partly in England and

partly

in

Scotland. The

will

of

Humphrey Ques^bury (Appendix

in

the term dafter '

Without

stopping

to consider the enormous magnitude of a

Imnd

into

which

nine thousand pounds

of

tobacco and

casks could

be paid it

is

interesting to be a bl e t o

compute

the money value

of the

land. For

many years tobacco

was

the

principiil

legal

tender

and

medium

of exchange in

Virginia,

which colony never

had

a

coinage of

its

own. All

fluancial

transactions being com

puted in tobacco it was necessary for that

staple

to

have

a fixed

\alue, and the

Council, as

early

as

1639 hud by

enactment, placed

this

at ninepence perpound.

The

nine thousand pounds of tobacco

was

therefore

worth

337

1-2

in

money,

or

about

?1,125,

the

N irginia pound being worth

only 3.331-3; and

this made the

land

lOst

11.25

per

acre^at

least twice as much

as

it

would sell for

inthisyearof

grace, 1897, more

than

two hundred years

later.

This land, lying on the north side of the great road that

goeth from Pope s Creek

to the

head

of

Perpeto Creek,

it tran

spires,

was

in old Eappahannock

county,

which comprised portions

tif the present counties of King George, Bichmond, and Essex

and was formed about 1660,and was swallowedup by the forma

tion of

those

counties some years afterwards, disappearing en

tirely. The present Eappahannock county, Virginia, in an en

tirely different locality, was not formed until 1820.

The records of Bichmond county, Virginia, show that in 1718

Humphery Quesenbury, of Westmoreland county, bought a tract

of land in Bichmond county from one John Jennings, but there

is no further record of

it

i n t ha t county; bu t it

appears

to have

been th e same tract of

land sold

in 1728 by Thomas Quisenberry,

in King George county, to John Finch, in the deed to which he

mentions

that he received t he l an d u nd er

th e

will of l ii s father,

Humphrey Quisenberry. (See Appendices III, 2,and IV, 1, 2.) It

may further elucidate

this

matter to s ta t e t ha t Bichmond county

was f ormed in 1692

from

old Eappahannock, and King George

wa s

formed in 1720 f rom Bichmond.
