(24) ''THE BIRD SAMUELS PAPERS:,, ORIGINAL CENSUS AND MILITARY

(1775) RECORDS OF OLD DUNMORE COUNTY, VIRGINIA.

These muster rolls of militia, and census lists taken in 1775, eight years prior to the first national census, are part of a collection of documents relating to military affairs in Dunmore County, Va., and recording activities of the County Committee of Safety at the beginning of the Revolution. Dunmore County was formed from Frederick County in 1772 and named in honor of Lord Dunmore, then Governor of Virginia (1771-1776). His loyalty to England made the name un­acceptable, and it was changed, by Act of the State Legislature in Oct., 1777, to '' Shanando." The County originally embraced not only present Shenandoah, but also about two-thirds of Page and half of Warren, and included this territory at the time of the Revolution. Thus the men enrolled under Capt. Michael Reader were from what is now Page County, and those enrolled under Capt. Joseph Bowman were from what is now Warren County. This is evident from a comparison of the names on the muster rolls with the names on the census lists here published and on the lists of the I 785 census published in '' A History of Shenandoah County, Va.," by John W. Wayland.

Besides these muster rolls and census lists, these records of the Dunmore County Committee of Safety include the minutes of its first meeting following its election on Jan. 10, 1775; a patriotic declaration bearing the names of eighty-

eight '' Inhabitants of the County of Dunmore," lists in German script of two hundred and eighteen purchasers of salt apportioned to Dunmore County by the State Committee of Safety, and various other papers and lett ers . Where there are no dates, the use of tl1e name Dunmor e in these documents fixes the date as not later than I 777.

These documents were found by the undersigned in 1933 at ''Birdwood,'' Woodstock, Va., when the home was brok en up following the death of his parents, William Twyman Williams, Sr., and Sally Madison (Bird ) Williams, among papers and letters of Mrs. Williams' father, Judge Mark Bird (1810- 1883). Th ey had belonged to Col. Abraham Bird (1731- 1820) , one of the Dunmore County Committee of Safety, by whom, on his removal to Kentucky in 1803, t hey had evidently been left with his son, Capt. George Bird (1763-1826 ), and so had come into the possession of Judge Mark Bird, the latter's son.

The collection belongs to Bernard Samuels, M. D., New York Cit y, a descendant of Mounce Bird, who was a soldier in Capt. J acob Holem an's com­pany (see roll), and a brother of Col. Abraham Bird. Dr. Samu els has given permission for the publication of these muster rolls and census lists, the originals of which, with the rest of the documents, he recently presented to the Virginia Historical Society under the name of ''The Bird-Samuels Papers," as a memorial to his grandfather, Justice Green Berry Samuels, of the Supreme Court of Virginia, and Judge Mark Bird, who were partners in the practice of law.

(Note: David Great and David Grate are on the list, in each case as one white male over sixteen. A blot completely hides the first letters of the thirteenth name from the bottom of this list, '' William Ison,'' but as the census of 1785 shows a William Wilson on a list on which are found a number of the names also found here, it is safe to say this name is William Wilson. See Wayland's History of Shenandoah County.)
