-Section 1. General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works
-
-1.A. By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
-and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
-(trademark/copyright) agreement. If you do not agree to abide by all
-the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
-all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
-If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
-terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
-entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
-
-1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be
-used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
-agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few
-things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
-even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See
-paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
-and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
-works. See paragraph 1.E below.
-
-1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
-or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the
-collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an
-individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
-located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
-copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
-works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
-are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
-Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
-freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
-this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
-the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
-keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
-Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
-
-1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
-what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in
-a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check
-the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
-before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
-creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
-Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning
-the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
-States.
-
-1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
-
-1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
-access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
-whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
-phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
-Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
-copied or distributed:

-This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
-almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or
-re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
-with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
-
-1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
-from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
-posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
-and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
-or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
-with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
-work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
-through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
-Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
-1.E.9.
-
-1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
-with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
-must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
-terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms will be linked
-to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
-permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.

-1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
-License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
-work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.

-electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
-prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
-active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm License.
-
-1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,

-posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
-you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
-copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
-request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
-form. Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
-License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
-
-1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
-performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
-unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

- has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
- Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments
- must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
- prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
- returns. Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and

- does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
- License. You must require such a user to return or
- destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
- and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
- Project Gutenberg-tm works.
-

-
-1.F.
-
-1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
-effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
-public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
-collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
-works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
-"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
-corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
-property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
-computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
-your equipment.
-
-1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
-of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
-liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
-fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
-LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
-PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
-TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
-LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
-INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
-DAMAGE.
-
-1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
-defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
-receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
-written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
-received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
-your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with
-the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
-refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
-providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
-receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy
-is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
-opportunities to fix the problem.
-
-1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
-in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO OTHER
-WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
-WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
-
-1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
-warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
-If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
-law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
-interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
-the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
-provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
-
-1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
-trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
-providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
-with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
-promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
-harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
-that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
-or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
-work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
-Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
-
-
-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
-including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
-because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
-people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
-To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
-and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
-and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org
-
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
-Foundation
-
-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
-permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
-
-The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
-Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
-throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at 809
-North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email
-contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the
-Foundation's web site and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact
-
-For additional contact information:
- Dr. Gregory B. Newby
- Chief Executive and Director
- gbnewby@pglaf.org
-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
-SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
-particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
-To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
-works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
-concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
-with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
-Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
-unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
-keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
-
- www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

-THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
-PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
-
-To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
-distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
-(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
-Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
-Gutenberg-tm License available with this file or online at
- www.gutenberg.org/license.
-
-
-Section 1. General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works
-
-1.A. By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
-and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
-(trademark/copyright) agreement. If you do not agree to abide by all
-the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
-all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
-If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
-terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
-entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
-
-1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be
-used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
-agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few
-things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
-even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See
-paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
-and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
-works. See paragraph 1.E below.
-
-1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
-or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the
-collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an
-individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
-located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
-copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
-works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
-are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
-Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
-freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
-this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
-the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
-keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
-Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
-
-1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
-what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in
-a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check
-the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
-before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
-creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
-Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning
-the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
-States.
-
-1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
-
-1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
-access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
-whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
-phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
-Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
-copied or distributed:
-
-This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
-almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or
-re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
-with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
-
-1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
-from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
-posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
-and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
-or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
-with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
-work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
-through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
-Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
-1.E.9.
-
-1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
-with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
-must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
-terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms will be linked
-to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
-permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
-
-1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
-License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
-work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
-
-1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
-electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
-prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
-active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm License.
-
-1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
-compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
-word processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access to or
-distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
-"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
-posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
-you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
-copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
-request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
-form. Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
-License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
-
-1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
-performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
-unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

- you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is
- owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
- has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
- Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments
- must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
- prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
- returns. Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
- sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
- address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
- the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
-
-- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
- you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
- does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
- License. You must require such a user to return or
- destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
- and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
- Project Gutenberg-tm works.
-
-- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
- money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
- electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
- of receipt of the work.
-
-- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
- distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
-
-1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
-forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
-both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
-Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark. Contact the

-
-1.F.
-
-1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
-effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
-public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
-collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
-works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
-"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
-corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
-property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
-computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
-your equipment.
-
-1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
-of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
-liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
-fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
-LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
-PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
-TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
-LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
-INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
-DAMAGE.
-
-1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
-defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
-receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
-written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
-received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
-your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with
-the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
-refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
-providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
-receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy
-is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
-opportunities to fix the problem.
-
-1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
-in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO OTHER
-WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
-WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
-
-1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
-warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
-If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
-law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
-interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
-the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
-provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
-
-1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
-trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
-providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
-with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
-promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
-harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
-that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
-or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
-work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
-Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
-
-
-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
-including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
-because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
-people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

-
-Many people have helped materially with the story of Salona. Peter
-Maffitt, descendant of the Rev. William Maffitt, and Douglass and
-Henry Mackall, descendants of one of Maffitt's sisters, generously
-shared information on the Maffitt family and gave William Maffitt a
-three-dimensional shape. John D. K. Smoot, Jane Smoot Wilson and
-William Smoot, descendants of Jacob Smoot, recalled many stories of
-their family and of Salona. Clive and Susan DuVal, present owners of
-Salona, endured hours of interviews, photographing, and measuring of
-the house and outbuildings.
-
-Valuable assistance has also been given by Mike Rierson, Fairfax
-County Park Authority, and W. Brown Morton, III, National Park
-Service, who contributed useful information on the architectural
-features and possible age of Salona; and William Elkjer measured and
-drew up floor plans of Salona. The Rev. William Sengel of the Old
-Presbyterian Meeting House, Jean Elliot, Frank Gapp, John Gott,
-Winslow Hatch, Beth Mitchell, and Donie Rieger also contributed
-information.

- Introduction
-
-
-At the edge of the busy commercial area of the community of McLean,
-hidden from the heavy traffic on Dolley Madison Boulevard by a
-natural screen of trees and shrubs, stands the substantial brick
-dwelling known as Salona. Only a portion of the original 466 acres
-surrounds the house; the rest of the land has been converted into
-church properties, shopping centers, residential subdivisions, and
-other appurtenances of development.
-
-Originally, the land was part of a large grant of 2,630 acres taken
-out by Thomas Lee in 1719 from the Northern Neck proprietor, and
-later named "Langley," a name which persists in the area to the
-present day.
-
-The Reverend William Maffitt of Maryland purchased the 466-acre
-parcel in 1812, and he may have been the builder of the brick house
-at Salona to which President James Madison fled when the British
-burned the capital in August, 1814.
-
-After the death of Maffitt, the property went through the hands of
-several northerners who were part of the influx of Yankees just prior
-to the outbreak of the Civil War. The parcel was divided into several
-pieces.
-
-Jacob G. Smoot of Georgetown, D.C., purchased 208 acres, including
-the house, in 1853. He and his descendants owned Salona for almost
-100 years--through the Civil War when Camp Griffin troops were
-temporary residents in tent villages on Salona and surrounding
-property and in the extended period of rebuilding during the
-agricultural era following. They witnessed and were part of the
-subdivision of lands for suburban tract housing.
-
-As a reflection of changes experienced in the Washington metropolitan
-area following World War II, Clive DuVal, a veteran, came from
-New York to accept employment with the federal government. He and his
-wife Susan purchased Salona with the idea of restoring it and using
-it for a family residence.
-
-[Illustration]
-
-The DuVals entered into a period of community participation which
-repeatedly involved the house as a center for meetings, tours and
-entertainment. Because it was a sound, comfortable, gracious old
-house with historical associations and community significance, they
-decided to grant a permanent historic and scenic easement to Fairfax
-County in 1971, preserving the house, its brick outbuildings and
-eight acres of land surrounding them in perpetuity. A temporary
-easement for 44 additional acres of the Salona property was granted
-at the same time, fitting in with the county's stated purpose to
-shape the character, direction and timing of community development
-through the preservation of open space land.
-
-Because of its historical associations, the house was placed on the
-Virginia State Landmarks Register and on the National Register of
-Historic Places in 1973.

-
- LANGLEY AND THE LEES
-
-
-The brick house known as Salona stands solidly on a portion of the
-original grant known as "Langley," a tract named by Thomas Lee for
-ancestral Lee lands in Shropshire, England.
-
-Thomas Lee was born in Westmoreland County, Virginia, in 1690, the
-fifth son of Richard Lee, II, a member of the King's Council and
-Naval Officer and Receiver of Customs for the Potomac. When Richard
-died in 1714, young Thomas succeeded his father as Naval Officer for
-the Potomac. Three years earlier, in 1711, he had been appointed
-resident agent along with his uncle, Edmund Jenings, for Lady
-Catherine Fairfax. She was proprietor of the Northern Neck grant of
-over 5,000,000 acres of land originally made by Charles II in exile
-to seven loyal followers, in 1649. She had become dissatisfied with
-the management of her agents Micajah Perry and Robert Carter. While
-his uncle was in England, Thomas Lee kept the books for the
-proprietary and visited most of the farflung Fairfax property. After
-his uncle returned to Virginia and took over the books, Lee used the
-knowledge gained from his work with the Fairfax estate to acquire
-grants of his own, among them, in 1719, the Langley tract of 2,862
-acres on the Potomac River between Great Falls and Little Falls.
-Because of the strategic location of this tract, he hoped to benefit
-from the economic development of the western lands. While he never
-realized this dream, he did become president of the King's Council
-and, in 1749, acting governor of the Colony.[1]
-
-After Thomas Lee's death in 1750, the Langley property went to his
-eldest son, Philip Ludwell Lee, who also was a member of the King's
-Council. A Royalist by preference he did not share the revolutionary
-enthusiasms of his younger brothers, Richard Henry Lee, and Francis
-Lightfoot Lee, signers of the Declaration of Independence. Moreover,
-Philip Ludwell Lee, as administrator of his father's estate, was
-responsible for paying their legacies to the younger children. These
-legacies were never paid in full, an omission which further widened
-the gap between him and his siblings.[2] In the tradition of his
-father who had envisioned development of the upper Potomac, Philip
-Ludwell Lee established the Town of Philee on 100 acres at the Little
-Falls of the Potomac. Although he actually built warehouses there,
-the town was doomed to failure.[3]
-
-Philip Ludwell Lee died in 1775, and the Langley tract was divided
-between his two daughters: Matilda, who married Henry (Light Horse
-Harry) Lee, and Flora, who married Ludwell Lee of Belmont in Loudoun
-County. Matilda inherited the portion on which Salona was built. If
-any buildings existed on the tract at that time, it seems probable
-that Matilda, as the elder daughter, would have been given the
-section on which they were located.[4]
-
-By an ironic twist of fate, in 1782, Matilda Lee, daughter of
-die-hard Royalist Philip Ludwell Lee, married Henry Lee, a dashing
-young officer in the American forces, whose brilliant military
-exploits at Brandywine, Monmouth, and Paulus Hook (now Jersey City)
-won him the esteem of General George Washington, the soubriquet of
-"Light Horse Harry," and, in 1780, promotion to the rank of
-lieutenant-colonel.
-
-"Harry" Lee was the son of Henry Lee of Leesylvania, in Prince
-William County, and Lucy Grymes Lee. His father was a member of the
-House of Burgesses for many years and when the war with England
-began, was in charge of recruiting and equipping troops for
-Washington's army. After serving as a delegate to the Continental
-Congress of 1785-88 and the Virginia Constitutional Convention of
-1788, he was elected to the Virginia Legislature where he served
-until 1791. His wife, Matilda, died in 1790, leaving him a son,
-Henry. Matilda left the Langley tract to her son, with a life
-interest to her husband.[5]
-
-To assuage his grief, Harry Lee plunged deeper into politics and in
-1791 was elected Governor of Virginia. Two years later he married
-again, this time to Anne Hill Carter of Shirley. One of their sons was
-Robert E. Lee, later commander-in-chief of the Armies of the
-Confederacy. After a two-year term in Congress, Harry Lee's star began
-to wane. His attempt to establish a town, Matildaville, at the Great
-Falls of the Potomac, had failed, and his other land speculations had
-gone sour. Eventually he spent two years in debtor's prison in
-Westmoreland County, where he had once sat as a justice. In 1810, he
-moved his family to Alexandria, and in 1812, was given a permanent
-commission as a major-general in the United States Army, but his
-failing health made it impossible for him to take part in the war
-against England. He spent his last days in the West Indies, in a vain
-attempt to recover his health. He died in 1818.[6]
-
-[Illustration: _Thomas Lee's 1719 grant, adjoining Turberville,
-showing the future 208-acre Smoot property at Salona._]
-
-Harry's brother, Richard Bland Lee, did all he could to keep economic
-ruin from devastating the former war hero, but managed only to get
-himself deeper in debt. In 1808, during the period of financial
-disaster, Harry Lee and his son sold the Langley tract to Richard
-Bland Lee for $25,000. William Maffitt was a witness.[7]
-
-No records or correspondence have yet appeared to indicate that any
-of the Lees built a dwelling on the Langley tract. Thomas Lee had the
-money, but architectural historians do not believe the house was
-constructed during his lifetime. Philip Ludwell Lee could have built
-on the tract, especially because of his town, Philee, on the Potomac,
-but again the house does not appear to be old enough to have been
-built during his lifetime.
-
-Light Horse Harry Lee might have built the house when he was involved
-with the development of Matildaville; estimated dates for the
-construction range from 1790 to 1810. But after 1803 both Harry Lee
-and his brother Richard Bland Lee were facing financial difficulties
-and probably would not have built a large brick house on the Langley
-tract at that time.
-
-During Richard Bland Lee's ownership of Langley, the land was rented
-to tenants.[8] A Lee descendant wrote in 1969 that "no Lee ever
-resided at 'Langley.' During the Lee tenure, 1719-1839, the place was
-always rented out."[9] So far, no listing of these tenants has been
-discovered. The only person mentioned as a tenant is J. C. Scott.[10]
-Scott has not been satisfactorily identified, although he may have
-been John Caile Scott, grandson of Alexander Scott, owner of
-Strawberry Vale.[11] He could have leased a portion of Langley and
-even built a house on the property. That this was customary in those
-days is shown by the terms of a lease agreement between Richard
-Bland Lee and Henson Lewis, which reveals that Lewis leased 130 acres
-of Lee's Cub Run tract on which he consented to pay taxes, plant and
-maintain an apple orchard, and construct a brick or stone framed
-dwelling at least 16 feet square and a brick or stone framed barn.
-This lease clearly indicates that a tenant on the Langley tract might
-have built Salona under the terms of a similar contract.[12]
-
-[Illustration: _Advertisement for Salona_, Alexandria Gazette,
-_November 18, 1811._]
-
-A bible entry cited by Melvin Steadman in his book on Falls Church
-reports that Thomas Sandford Wren "was born at Salona" on May 19,
-1808, to Richard and Susannah (Adams) Wren.[13] According to
-Steadman, Thomas Wren is buried in the El Nido Cemetery, but all of
-the tombstones, with one exception, have been destroyed.[14] Because
-the name "Salona" appears on a legal document for the first time in
-1823, the reported entry seems still more curious. It is possible
-that Salona may have been built or at least designed by one of the
-Wren family. Susannah Adams Wren, Richard's wife, was a descendant of
-the Adams family which had a mill adjacent to the Salona tract,
-another tie to the area.[15]
-
-Fairfax County tax records provide no clue to a possible date of
-construction. In 1790, the Langley tract was carried on the rolls as
-the property of the Ludwell Lee heirs and was so listed for more than
-20 years. Only two significant changes appeared: one in 1792 when
-more than 500 acres were sold, and again in 1811 after the sale of a
-466-acre tract to Herbert. When William Maffitt first appeared on the
-tax rolls as a landowner in 1813, the 466-acre tract was assessed at
-$880 and his smaller tract at $79.[16]
-
-William Herbert, who took over the 466 acres in payment of judgments
-against Richard Bland Lee, had no apparent intention of living on the
-property or of keeping it. A house must have existed on the property
-when he bought it because when he advertised the property for sale in
-the _Alexandria Gazette_ in November 1811, the copy mentioned "a
-comfortable dwelling house, and out houses, a young thriving orchard
-of the choicest fruit, a good garden paled in, and a spring of fine
-water that has never been known to fail in the driest season, near
-the house." There is no indication that the acreage was under
-cultivation at that time.[17]
-
-On March 10, 1812, the Reverend William Maffitt bought the 466-acre
-tract from William Herbert. It was probably Maffitt who named the
-estate "Salona."

-
- SALONA AND THE MAFFITTS
-
-
-The first occupant of record of the house at Salona, William Maffitt,
-is surrounded by legends. Supposedly, Maffitt built Salona in 1801.
-Maffitt was from South Carolina. Maffitt went to Princeton. Maffitt
-preached the funeral sermon for George Washington. Maffitt had a
-boys' school at Salona. Maffitt lived at Salona with his wife
-Harriotte Lee Turberville Maffitt, who deserted her three children by
-her first marriage. Dolley Madison spent the night with the Maffitts
-at Salona when she fled from the White House during the English
-invasion of Washington.
-
-The available documents give a different picture.
-
-William Maffitt was born in Cecil County, Maryland, in 1769, eldest
-son of Samuel and Ann Strawbridge Maffitt.[18] His father was a
-justice of the peace, elder in the Presbyterian Church, owner of a
-flourishing farm and a mill, and was a major under George Washington
-during the American Revolution.
-
-The Rev. Mr. John H. Johns made his contribution to the Maffitt
-legends:
-
- The Rev. William Maffit [sic] was a son of
- Samuel Maffit, an elder of this church.
- Having been licensed October 9th, 1794, by
- New Castle Presbytery, he went, April 1st,
- 1795, to Alexandria, Va., in Baltimore
- Presbytery. He had delicate health, and was
- pastor there for only a brief period, when
- he went to Salina [sic] six miles from
- Washington, and there became principal of a
- school, which he continued to teach for many
- years. He married twice, each time to a
- widow Lee, of the noted Lee family of
- Virginia. He died in 1828.[19]
-
-Although many young men of Cecil County attended Princeton, the
-University does not have Maffitt recorded as a student, and his name
-does not appear in the official list of early Princeton
-graduates.[20] He probably attended some theological school because
-on October 9, 1794, the New Castle Presbytery appointed him to supply
-various New Castle Presbytery congregations.[21] At that time, he
-seems to have been teaching at the Wilmington Academy.[22]
-
-On April 7, 1795, he was transferred to the Baltimore Presbytery,
-with residence in Alexandria.[23] On April 14, 1795, he was hired by
-the Alexandria Academy to teach Latin and English to 35 students for
-the sum of 200 pounds a year.[24]
-
-In 1798, George Washington wrote regarding the education of Martha
-Washington's grandson, George Washington Parke Custis:
-
- If he (Custis) was to go to Alexandria, his
- Studies must be conducted at the Academy or
- in his own chamber. The first, after coming
- from a large and celebrated College, he
- would consider as degrading, and in the
- other case (being left alone) he would
- attend very little to them while Mr. Moffet
- was discharging the trust reposed in him at
- the Academy.[25]
-
-An Alexandria historian, Mary Powell, wrote that: "The school was
-attended by the best classes of Alexandria boys and able instruction
-was given in the classics, history, and elocution." She also
-observed: "The Rev. McWhirr and the Rev. Mr. Moffat were both
-Presbyterian clergymen who taught during the lifetime of General
-Washington. Mr. Leary succeeded Mr. Moffat ..."[26]
-
-In 1801 the _Alexandria Gazette_ reported that the trustees of the
-Alexandria Academy:
-
- express their satisfaction at the progress
- of every branch taught in the academy ...
- reading and spelling; the accurate and
- extensive knowledge of English grammar and
- of the Latin classics, reflect the highest
- honor on the capacity and diligence of Mr.
- Maffitt, the teacher.[27]
-
-Maffitt remained at the Academy until 1804 when he notified the board
-of trustees that he intended to "relinquish his situation as
-principal" on June 8. No hint of his future plans was given.[28]
-
-At least as early as 1799, Maffitt became a member of Masonic Lodge
-22[29] and took part in other community activities befitting a
-schoolmaster and minister. On December 24, 1799, the _Alexandria
-Gazette_ reported:
-
- Friday next being St. John's Day, Brother
- Maffitt, at the request of Lodges 22 and 47,
- will deliver a Charity Sermon at the
- Presbyterian Meeting house at which all the
- brethren are requested to attend. N.B. it is
- expected that every brother will appear with
- his badge of mourning--and those of Lodge 22
- in full mourning.[30]

-
-George Washington, a member of Lodge 22, had died on December 14,
-1799, and the call was to a memorial service. Maffitt did not, as
-legend claims, preach the funeral sermon, although he did march with
-the clergy in the lodge's funeral procession from Alexandria to Mount
-Vernon to attend the ceremony.[31]
-
-Earlier in 1799, the minutes of the General Assembly of the
-Presbyterian Church show that Rev. William Maffitt was assigned to
-Bladensburg.[32] There is no record of his actual presence there and
-he was not re-assigned.[33] For the rest of his life, his listings in
-the minutes show him "without charge." Although Maffitt was a
-licensed minister, there is some doubt that he was ever ordained.[34]
-
-On January 14, 1800, the subscribers to the establishment of a
-Washington Society met at Gadsby's Tavern and William Maffitt was
-named to the committee to form the constitution and by-laws.[35] On
-January 28, Maffitt was appointed chaplain of the society,[36] a post
-which he held at least through 1803. On February 23, 1800, the
-society was called to meet at Gadsby's at 10 a.m. "to move in
-procession to the Presbyterian Meeting House where an oration will be
-delivered by the Rev. Mr. Maffitt, commemorative of the distinguished
-merits of the Illustrious Washington."[37] Again, on February 22,
-1803, the Washington Society called on Maffitt to deliver a memorial
-sermon on the first president "at the Presbyterian Church at 12
-o'clock. There will be instrumental and vocal music and the day will
-be announced by a discharge of 16 rounds from the Market Square."[38]
-
-On February 18, 1801, the Rev. Mr. Maffitt was elected a director of
-the Alexandria Library Co., and was re-elected to this post in 1802,
-1803, and 1804.[39]
-
-On May 5, 1803, the Rev. Dr. Muir, pastor of the Presbyterian Meeting
-House, married the Rev. William Maffitt to Mrs. Harriotte
-Turberville.[40] Harriotte (or Henrietta) was the daughter of Richard
-Henry Lee, a brother of Philip Ludwell Lee, and his second wife, Anne
-Gaskins Pinckard, widow of Thomas Pinckard. Harriotte was born
-December 10, 1773 at Chantilly, the Richard Henry Lee estate in
-Westmoreland County.[41] Her siblings included a younger sister Sarah
-who married another cousin, Edmund Jennings Lee, and the youngest
-son, Francis Lightfoot Lee.[42] Her first marriage in December, 1794,
-was to Richard Lee Turberville, a cousin and neighbor, who died in
-1799,[43] leaving his widow with their three children: Cornelia,
-Richard, and George. Richard and Harriotte Turberville had settled at
-Chantilly in Fairfax County and Richard apparently died there.[44]
-
-When Harriotte and William Maffitt were married, he was still
-principal of the Alexandria Academy, living in Alexandria, and active
-in community affairs. But between June 8, 1804, the date of Maffitt's
-resignation from the Academy, and early 1805, he moved to Chantilly
-with his wife, their first child, and the three children of
-Harriotte's first marriage. It is probable that the move took place
-in 1804, soon after his resignation.
-
-Legal guardian of the three Turberville children was Thomas Lee,
-Harriotte's oldest brother.[45] After his death in 1805, William
-Maffitt was named guardian.[46] In this capacity he had to keep
-accurate accounts of his expenditures on behalf of the children and
-of income received on their property, all of which were matters of
-court record. These records indicate that Maffitt was living at
-Chantilly at that time.
-
-William and Harriotte had two daughters, both christened in the
-Presbyterian Meeting House: Ann Lee, born March 23, 1804, and
-christened on April 20, and Harriotte, born March 16, 1805, and
-christened on April 17, 1805.[47] Harriotte died right after the
-birth of the second daughter, probably on April 11 or 12, 1805,
-because on April 12, Maffitt began paying rent to the three
-Turberville heirs for the use of their property. This was recorded
-for the first time in his accounts for 1805.[48]
-
-That he had a school on the Chantilly estate seems highly probable,
-because starting in 1805, he charged the two Turberville boys for
-board and tuition, but not for transportation.[49] In 1805, Maffitt
-was listed for the first time on the Fairfax County personal property
-tax rolls.[50] In 1810, the county census listed him as having under
-his roof two males under 10, five males between 10 and 16, one male
-between 26 and 45, five females under 10, and one female between 26
-and 45.[51]
-
-The guardian accounts give some interesting insights into day-by-day
-activities. Buying new shoes and mending old ones for the two boys
-were constant expenses. Regular sums of money were sent to Mrs. Lee,
-Harriotte's sister Sally, to pay for Cornelia Turberville's board,
-education, and small purchases. Books and supplies were bought for
-the boys. A large portion of the estate was rented out, and so were
-some of the slaves. The chimney and cellar were repaired; a new barn
-was built.[52]
-
-The accounts also show that Cornelia Turberville was married to
-Charles C. Stuart in 1817, rather than 1814, as some sources report.
-Up to the time of the marriage, Maffitt referred to Cornelia as "C.
-Turberville"; afterwards he formally termed her "Mistress Stuart." He
-also listed money given George Turberville to buy articles to attend
-his sister's wedding.[53] Historians credit Cornelia and her husband
-with building a house named "Chantilly" in honor of the estate of her
-grandfather, Richard Henry Lee, in Westmoreland County.[54] Yet the
-Maffitt accounts specifically refer to "my rent of Chantilly" in
-1814,[55] three years before the Turberville-Stuart marriage.
-Moreover, a public sale was held "at Chantilly" in 1817,[56] with
-cash paid to C. C. Stuart from its proceeds.[57]
-
-Curiously, the accounts show that Maffitt continued to pay rent to
-the Turberville heirs through 1814, the year when, for the first
-time, we definitely know he was living at Salona. Does this mean that
-Maffitt himself built Salona between 1812, when he purchased the
-property, and 1814, or that the house already existed and was rented
-to a tenant through the first part of 1814? That Maffitt was there in
-August 1814 is proven by the documented fact that President Madison
-stayed at Salona overnight with Mr. Maffitt.
-
-Robert Gamble, in his volume on Sully, quotes a letter which states
-that Richard Bland Lee, Jr., was under the tutelage of the Reverend
-Mr. Maffitt at some time preceding 1805.[58] This again would suggest
-that Maffitt had a school at Chantilly, close to Richard Bland Lee's
-home at Sully. Another biographer mentions that
-
- Edmund Jennings (Lee) was born at
- Alexandria, then in the District of
- Columbia, on the 3rd of May, 1797.... Mr.
- Lee received his earliest educational
- training at the school of the Rev. Mr.
- Maffitt in Fairfax, a school of high repute
- at that day.[59]
-
-Unfortunately no dates or locations are given by the letter-writer or
-the biographer.
-
-In his history of the Old Presbyterian Meeting House, William B.
-McGroarty described Maffitt in a footnote as "a Presbyterian minister
-who conducted a school for boys in Fairfax County near
-Alexandria."[60] Neither Chantilly nor Salona was very close to
-Alexandria.
-
-A letter from A. C. Stuart to Elizabeth Collins Lee in 1805 states
-that:
-
- Mr. Maffitt intended to leave the place
- where he now resides and purchase a small
- farm, that he, Frank (Francis Lightfoot Lee,
- Harriotte's youngest brother) intended to do
- the same, that they were to spend their time
- in the pursuit of agriculture, botany, and
- philosophy.[61]
-
-Was this wish expressed because Chantilly was not Maffitt's property
-but that of his stepchildren, because Maffitt was lonely without
-Harriotte, or because he wanted to give up teaching for farming?
-Somehow, from the guardianship accounts, it seems likely that Maffitt
-did not farm the Turberville acres, but rented out whatever he could,
-while he busied himself otherwise.
-
-Usually the _Alexandria Gazette_ carried announcements of the
-openings of new schools, but no announcement of Maffitt's school ever
-seems to have appeared. Because Maffitt performed the marriage of
-_Gazette_ publisher Samuel Snowden to Mary Longden on January 8,
-1802,[62] such an announcement might have been expected. Neither did
-the _Gazette_ report Maffitt's departure from the Alexandria area.
-
-Probably Maffitt was still living at Chantilly when he married for
-the second time between 1807 and 1811 before William Maffitt, Jr.,
-was born. His second wife was Ann Beale Carter Carter
-(1767-1852),[63] widow of Charles B. Carter. Ann, also known as
-Nancy, was the daughter of Robert Wormely Carter of Sabine Hall in
-Richmond County, and Winifred Beale.[64] William, Jr., the only child
-of this marriage, was born in November, 1811, and christened in the
-Presbyterian Meeting House in February 1812.[65]
-
-In August 1812, Maffitt was appointed a trustee of an academy to be
-established in Haymarket. Among those serving with him were Ludwell
-Lee of Belmont, Francis Lightfoot Lee, then living at Sully, and
-William Fitzhugh of Ravensworth.[66]
-
-Meanwhile, in 1809, James Madison, Secretary of State under Thomas
-Jefferson, had been elected President. On June 18, 1812, Madison
-signed a declaration of war against England. The causes of the war,
-sometimes called the Second War of Independence, were basically
-several aspects of nationalism. Some resentment against the British
-still smouldered, fanned by British contempt and condescension toward
-her former colonists. Because many English sailors deserted their
-ships to sail under American colors, British ships intercepted
-American vessels and "impressed" their seamen. Furthermore, many
-American politicians wanted to annex Canada.
-
-Neither the war nor the President was popular with the people, who
-thought the President weak and called the conflict "Mr. Madison's
-War." Attempted American invasion of Canada was a fiasco and by
-August 23, 1814, the British forces were so close to Washington that
-the clear and present danger of an actual invasion of the American
-capital seemed imminent.
-
-John Graham, Chief Clerk in the Department of State, and two other
-clerks, Stephen Pleasanton and Josiah King, packed the valuable
-public records of the State Department in coarse linen bags which
-Pleasanton had purchased earlier. These included the original
-Declaration of Independence, articles of confederation, federal
-constitution, treaties and laws and many other papers. Stephen
-Pleasanton found conveyances, loaded the bags into them and took them
-to a mill 3 miles beyond Georgetown, where they were concealed.
-Pleasanton spent the night of August 23, 1814, at Salona with the
-Rev. Mr. Maffitt. The next day, fearing that the mill might be too
-accessible to the British, who were fast approaching Washington,
-Pleasanton took the state papers to Leesburg for safety.[67]
-
-Dolley Madison, the President's popular wife, could hear in the
-President's House the sounds of cannon "from a skirmish at
-Bladensburg." The President had gone to meet Gen. William H. Winder,
-commander of the military district, and had left his wife
-instructions to "take care of my self, and of the cabinet paper,
-public and private."[68]
-
-Writing to her sister, Lucy Todd, Dolley cooly reported that her
-husband
-
- desires that I should be ready at a moment's
- warning to enter my carriage and leave the
- city.... I am accordingly ready; I have
- pressed as many cabinet papers into trunks
- to fill one carriage; our private property
- must be sacrificed, as it is impossible to
- procure wagons for its transportation.[69]
-
-She continued the letter on Wednesday, August 24:
-
- Two messengers, covered with dust, come to
- bid me fly.... At this late hour, a wagon
- has been procured; I have had it filled with
- the plate and most valuable articles
- belonging to the house....
-
- Our kind friend, Mr. Carroll, has come to
- hasten my departure, and is in a very mad
- humor because I insist on waiting until the
- large picture of Gen. Washington is secured,
- and it requires to be unscrewed from the
- wall. The process was found too tedious for
- these perilous moments; I have ordered the
- frame to be broken, and the canvas taken out;
- it is done--and the precious portrait placed
- in the hands of two gentlemen of New York,
- for safekeeping.... When I shall again write
- to you, or where I shall be tomorrow, I
- cannot tell!![70]
-
-Apparently Dolley spent the night of August 24 in a tent in the
-American encampment at Tennallytown, and the next day crossed over
-into Virginia where she spent the night of August 25 with Matilda Lee
-Love at Rokeby. The roads were crowded with refugees and the exodus
-was slow. As the Loves had often been guests at the President's
-House, Dolley did not have to spend night with strangers. In her
-reminiscences, Matilda Love wrote:
-
- In the following spring of 1814, it (the
- war) came more home to us, as the British
- got into our southern waters, and in August
- came up to Washington and burnt all the
- public buildings.... As I lived about ten
- miles from Washington, Mrs. Madison and a
- number of city people took refuge at my home
- the night the British took Washington....
-
-
-They watched the flames of the burning capital from Rokeby that
-night.[71]
-
-Irving Brant, definitive biographer of Madison, writes of the
-departure of the Madisons from the capital:
-
- The travels of President and Mrs. Madison
- after the battle have long been involved in
- obscurity and contradiction owing to the
- meagerness of early records (Dolley's
- letters about it were eaten by mice),
- uncertain memories and the derogatory
- stories circulated by political detractors.
- The facts bear little resemblance to the
- popular stories in which the Jones and
- Carroll families are nonexistent, Dolley
- wanders forlornly from house to house, while
- Madison, split in person rather than
- personality, simultaneously hides in a
- miserable hovel in the Virginia woods and
- flees in terror into the distant hills of
- Maryland.
-
- Actually, a clear record was left by
- participants and observers. The original plan
- was for Madison to join Secretary Jones and
- their families at Bellevue and proceed by way
- of the Little Falls bridge to Wiley's Tavern
- on Difficult Run near the Great Falls. From
- there the President and cabinet members would
- cross the Potomac and join the army. Time
- growing short, Madison changed the rendezvous
- to Foxall's Foundry. With that route from the
- White House clogged by the militia's flight,
- he sent Tench Ringgold to the foundry with
- word that he was crossing at Mason's Ferry
- and would meet his wife and party at Salona,
- the home of the Reverend John [sic] Maffitt,
- three miles above the Little Falls
- bridge....[72]
-
- Madison, Rush and Mason rode to Wren's Tavern
- at Falls Church. Monroe and Ringgold took the
- Leesburg road, stopped briefly at Rokeby, the
- home of Richard Henry Love, two miles above
- Little Falls, and went on to Wiley's Tavern.
- From Wren's Tavern the President went to the
- Minor home and from there to Salona, where he
- spent the night with the Maffitts. But Mrs.
- Madison failed to come. She and her party had
- stopped only a mile away at Rokeby, with her
- young friend Matilda Lee Love, an occasional
- overnight guest at the White House....
-
- The next morning, Madison went back to Wren's
- Tavern--looking for his wife, he told Colonel
- George Graham, who gave him a guard of two
- dragoons. Returning to Salona, the President
- learned that Mrs. Madison and the Jones and
- Carroll families had gone by on their way to
- Wiley's Tavern. He and Rush followed along
- the Old Dominion Road (Mason being detained
- for a time) and took refuge from the
- hurricane in a house at "The Crossroads" five
- miles from the Little Falls bridge.[73]
-
-At midnight, the President went to the new Conn's Ferry above Great
-Falls, and at daybreak he crossed the river into Montgomery County,
-Maryland. Mrs. Madison stayed at Wiley's Tavern until the President
-sent her word that Washington was clear of the enemy.[74]
-
-A more romantic but apocryphal story of the Madison's flight from
-Washington was written in 1914 by a columnist known as "The Rambler"
-for the _Washington Star_.[75] In this version, Dolley crossed the
-Potomac on "the Causeway Ferry," then passed Nelson's mill, went on
-to Falls Church, and finally drove up "to Salona Hall, the home of
-Parson Maffitt, and was welcomed by Mrs. Maffitt." He further
-recounts that Mrs. Madison was refused shelter at two country places
-before she reached Salona, though this did not seem reasonable.[76]
-
-The oft-told story of Dolley Madison's having been refused sanctuary
-on her way to Salona by several households is not borne out by all
-published accounts. Apparently, the account which does have most
-corroboration is that regarding the day following the night she and
-her party stayed at Rokeby.
-
-Mrs. Madison went on the next morning, August 25, to meet her husband
-at a tavern near Great Falls, probably Wiley's on Difficult Run. This
-had been prearranged, and on arrival she went upstairs to wait for
-Mr. Madison. Shortly, the lady of the establishment called out to her
-in rage, saying, "Miss Madison! If that's you, come down and go out!
-Your husband has got mine out fighting, and d---- you, you shan't
-stay in my house; so get out!" Other refugees joined in the outburst,
-even those who had once been guests of the Madisons at the
-President's mansion, and agreed she should be expelled from all
-doors. Nearby, there was another tavern, and Mrs. Madison and her
-party gained admittance there to wait for her husband's arrival later
-that evening.[77]
-
-After the excitement of Madison's visit was over, Salona must have
-reverted to its normal calm. At last Maffitt had realized his dream
-of farming; the personal property tax records and inventory of his
-estate clearly define Salona as a working farm.
-
-But his fortunes declined, if we can judge by his personal property
-tax assessments. Maffitt was assessed for 18 horses and mules and 21
-black slaves in 1812; in 1814, when a very detailed account was
-rendered by the county, Maffitt was shown to have 19 slaves, 12
-horses and mules and a coache (4-wheeled carriage) valued at $450. In
-all of Fairfax County that year, only Thomas Fairfax, William
-Robinson and Bushrod Washington had coaches of higher value than his
-and their vehicles were evaluated at $500 each.
-
-By the year of his death, 1828, only 13 slaves and 3 horses were
-listed, and the total evaluation of his personal property was listed
-at $150. The inventory of William Maffitt's estate did show that he
-had 116 head of livestock on the place including horses, oxen, sheep,
-hogs and cattle. He was growing turnips, corn, rye, oats, hay and
-orchard grass. The long list of household furnishings included three
-desks and two bookcases of high evaluation, indicating there were
-books in them. (See appendix for full inventory.) The fortunes of his
-widow, Ann Carter Maffitt, declined further, until by 1835, she was
-dropped off the county's personal property tax rolls.[78]
-
-For many years, William Maffitt had continued to serve as guardian to
-his first wife's Turberville children. Although Cornelia Turberville
-continued to live with her aunt in Alexandria until her marriage in
-1817, her two brothers seem to have lived at Salona. In June 1815,
-Richard Turberville drowned in the Potomac while visiting his cousin
-Matilda Lee Love at nearby Rokeby.[79] Maffitt's accounts for June
-23, 1815, report the expenditure of $37.50 for Richard's coffin. He
-may have been buried in the graveyard on the Salona property.[80]
-
-The other brother, George Turberville, at some time in childhood
-became a deaf mute as the result of typhoid fever. Maffitt's accounts
-do not reveal the date of the onset of this affliction, but they do
-show that in April 1818 George entered "The Asylum" in Hartford,
-Connecticut. At that time, Maffitt advanced George $100 for board and
-tuition and $100 for travel.[81] George still returned to Salona for
-vacations, because in July 1819, Harriotte Maffitt wrote to him:
-
- It is now my time to write to you my Dear
- Brother. We are glad the time is so near
- when we expect you. When you come home we
- will go to George Town to meet you. Dr. Muir
- has been here and he preached here. Aunt
- Whann and Aunt Sally Maffitt have been here.
- Uncle Whann has gone to travel. I hope you
- will be well acquainted with the History of
- the Bible and particularly the life and
- miracles of our Blessed Saviour. We have not
- heard from Chantilly for some time, I hope
- we will go up soon. Cousin Sally Lee is
- there. We expect Aunt Edmund Lee will come
- here very soon. Sister Cornelia expects Mrs.
- Mary Tollaver, your Cousin up to see her
- this summer. Do you know Mr. Harrison of
- Alexandria? He is coming here to preach for
- us in August. Do you love me? I pray to God
- to bless and preserve you. Old Mrs. Randle
- is very well we went to see her yesterday.
- When you come home you must go to see her
- with us. I saw Miss Betty Jones last
- Sabbathe. She asked me when I had heard from
- you answer my letter very soon if you
- please. Tell me how the deaf and dumb are
- and if they improve. You must love and obey
- your teachers. Papa Mama and all the girls
- send their affectionate love to you.
-
- I am your affectionate sister.
-
- Harriotte Maffitt.[82]
-
-
- P.S.
- All the Boys send their
- respects to you.
-
-Another letter, this one from William C. Woodbridge to the Reverend
-William Maffitt from "Asylum," was dated February 21, 1820, and
-referred to a fight between George Turberville and another student.
-Woodbridge wrote:
-
- It seems he was ridiculed & resented it &
- was then challenged. He says he was wounded
- in the knee & his antagonist the same. We
- learned it from his boasting of it to our
- pupils. He now expresses entire
- disapprobation. He made the question to you
- by my request.
-
-Woodbridge refers to George's independence and pride which must be
-checked. Obviously, this letter was one of many exchanged between
-Woodbridge and Maffitt regarding George's progress[83] and is
-evidence that George wrote home to his stepfather as well as to his
-sisters.
-
-Although William Maffitt died before the Lewinsville Presbyterian
-Church was founded, church historians claim him as a founding father,
-saying that he was appointed by the Washington Presbytery to preach
-and set up a mission near Langley.[84] Harriotte's letter may lend
-credence to this, although there is no report of such an assignment
-in the Minutes which list Maffitt only as "without charge" after
-1800.[85]
-
-One reason for this belief may have arisen because of a bequest in
-the will of Elizabeth Lee Jones, the "Miss Betty Jones" of
-Harriotte's letter. Daughter of Lettice Corbin Turberville and
-Catesby Jones of Westmoreland County, Miss Betty lived at "Sharon" on
-part of the George Turberville grant. Her will, dated April 16, 1822,
-left four acres of her property "as a site for a church and
-churchyard ... dedicated to the uses and purposes of divine worship
-in such manner and subject to such rules as shall ... be prescribed
-by the Rev'd William Maffitt" and eight other ministers: -- Carnahan,
-Wells Andrews, William Hill, John Mathews, J. B. Hoge, William C.
-Walton, M. Baker, and Samuel D. Hoge, all representatives of the
-Presbyterian Church. William Maffitt was a witness to this will.
-Apparently, this was Maffitt's primary connection with the
-establishment of the Presbyterian Church at Lewinsville.[86]

- [32] Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, Minutes of
-the General Assembly, 1798, p. 141. The preceding year, Maffitt was
-listed simply as "licentiate."
-
- [33] Ibid., Minutes, 1800, p. 192. This year, and in succeeding
-years, Maffitt is listed as "without charge." He did, however, carry
-out various pastoral duties. In 1802, at the ordination of James
-Inglis in the Presbyterian Meeting House, Maffitt "concluded the
-services, after having exhorted the newly ordained pastor and the
-people of his charge, in a short but impressive address," according
-to the _Alexandria Gazette_ of April 30, 1802.
-
-In May, 1808, Maffitt was a commissioner to the general assembly of
-the Presbyterian Church at its meeting in Baltimore, along with
-Reverend James Inglis. He was late in arriving and "took his seat the
-4th day of the sessions." The minutes of May 23 (p. 399) report that
-
- The Reverend William Maffitt, of the
- Presbytery of Baltimore, appeared in the
- Assembly and stated that he had neglected to
- bring his commission. Two commissioners from
- the same Presbytery certified that Mr.
- Maffitt had been appointed by the Presbytery
- as commissioner to this Assembly. On motion:
- _Resolved_, that Mr. Maffitt be received as
- a member. And he accordingly took his seat.

- [34] Letter to the author from Ruth B. Lee, librarian of the
-Historical Foundation of the Presbyterian and Reformed Church,
-Montreat, N.C., dated March 29, 1977:
-
- As you will see the first reference to Mr.
- Maffitt is as a licentiate in Baltimore
- Presbytery. His only pastorate seems to have
- been in Bladensburg (later Hyattsville), and
- after this he is listed as being without
- charge. This means that he was not an active
- pastor in a church. He seems to have
- remained in Baltimore Presbytery, though of
- course he may have served outside the
- Presbytery at some time and still remained a
- member of that Presbytery. I question
- whether he was actually ordained by
- Newcastle Presbytery, since the ordination
- usually took place when a man was installed
- as the pastor of a church. The licentiate is
- the candidate for the ministry who is
- licensed to preach but is not yet ordained.
-
-
-Minutes for 1809 (p. 238) and 1814 (p. 184) show Maffitt "without
-charge." Minutes for 1824 list him in the Presbytery of the District
-of Columbia as "near Georgetown, D.C." again without charge. The
-present offices of the Presbytery of the District of Columbia have
-his death date as his only record in their files.

-
- Half a century later, when the White House

- cleaned and the frame burnished. The artist
- found on examination that the canvas had

- and we dined and stayed at the President's

- Scott's poem of that name, as Matilda was
- the heiress of Rokeby.

-Madison ... and the rest of the presidential party rode to Salona,
-the home of the Reverend John Maffitt where Madison now expected to

-Maffitt."
-
-When Alexandria historian Jean Elliot called Brant's attention to his
-error in Maffitt's first name, Brant replied to her on July 12, 1973:
-
- My research cards are all in the Library of
- Congress, so I have no way of knowing
- whether I was misled by some earlier writing
- or went wrong on my own, but the matter of
- accuracy can be settled by the law of

- SALONA FOR SALE
-
-
-After William Maffitt's death, his widow must have found life
-difficult. She had to keep up the farm, care for the slaves, and
-support her children and stepchildren. There was an outstanding debt
-on Salona owed to her sister-in-law in Georgetown. William Maffitt
-had mortgaged the property with Margaret Whann for $6,000 in 1823,
-and had paid back almost half of the amount due prior to his
-death.[87]
-
-Ann Maffitt's state of mind was clearly revealed in a letter written
-by her on July 22, 1828, to Col. George W. Hunter urging him to
-reconsider his refusal to become administrator of her husband's
-estate. She pleaded with him: "... I shall send my dear fatherless
-(and I might almost add) friendless Son to you this morning who will
-say everything he can to beg you not to desert us in our great time
-of need...."[88]
-
-[Illustration: _Dr. William Maffitt, Jr., Major, U. S. Army. Born
-November 14, 1811, in Virginia. Died October 7, 1864, St. Louis,
-Missouri. He was Reverend William Maffitt's only son._]
-
-Apparently her appeal fell on deaf ears, for the court records show
-that Robert C. Jackson was administrator. Margaret Whann brought a
-chancery suit against the heirs of Maffitt in 1831 and bought Salona
-at auction through her agent, Joseph McVean, for $2,650, only partial
-repayment of the $3,716.54 still due her. Meanwhile, slaves and
-personal property were sold, and small debts repaid. George W.
-Hunter, the lawyer who had refused to serve as administrator, came to
-a sale on May 20, 1829. John Hill Carter (Ann's son by her first
-marriage), E. L. Carter (probably her youngest daughter, Elizabeth),
-Thomas B. Balch (husband of her daughter Susan), Commodore Thomas ap
-Catesby Jones (a close neighbor), and George L. Turberville
-(Harriotte's son by her first marriage) all bought some of the slaves
-and personal property. When the property evaluation was made, the
-estate was worth $1,822.87-1/2. The inventory of Maffitt's personal
-property, exclusive of his slaves, was $1,588.89-1/2. No total was
-given for the value of the slaves. The court-appointed appraisers
-were Nicholas Paine, William Swink, and Joseph Sewell. Although they
-prepared their inventory in 1828, it was not reviewed and accepted by
-the court until March, 1832.[89]
-
-Margaret Maffitt had been born in Cecil County, Maryland, on April 7,
-1780. According to Sarah Somervell Mackall, Margaret went to
-Georgetown to visit her eldest sister Jane, wife of William Whann.
-While there, Margaret met William's brother, David Whann, and they
-were married on November 16, 1807. Until 1804, David had been a
-purser in the U. S. Navy on the _Essex_. Later he became a paymaster
-and traveled widely abroad. A captain in the D.C. Militia, he died of
-sunstroke in May, 1813, while reviewing his men on the parade ground.
-His widow "never received any compensation from the government" and
-was left with two small children, a son and a daughter.[90]
-
-Apparently Margaret permitted Ann Maffitt to remain at Salona until
-1835 at least and possibly until 1842 when the property was sold to
-Chapman Lee. In any case, Ann Maffitt and the three Maffitt children
-did not sign a quitclaim to the property until 1835.[91] Margaret
-Whann probably hired a tenant to maintain Salona as a working farm.
-There are no indications that Mrs. Whann ever lived at Salona; the
-deed to Lee refers to her as being "of Georgetown in the District of
-Columbia."
-
-Chapman Lee, who was living in Alexandria at the time of the sale,
-bought the property in 1842.[92] He held the property for three
-years, then divided it and sold 208 acres to Elisha Sherman "late of
-Fairfield County, Connecticut."[93] The balance was conveyed to James
-McVean and Samuel M. Whann. Eight years later, Elisha Sherman and
-Anna, his wife, late of Fairfax County and "now of Washington County,
-D.C.," sold to Jacob G. Smoot of Georgetown the tract "heretofore
-called Langley but now called Salona"--208 acres.[94]

- SALONA AND THE SMOOTS
-
-
-William Smute, originally of Dutch ancestry, came to Virginia from
-Scotland in 1633 and received a grant for 400 acres of land in 1642.
-He removed to Maryland in 1646 and thereafter, the Smoot (Smout)
-family activities as reported in local records showed periodic
-involvement with public affairs of county, colony and nation.[95]
-
-In a recent history of St. Mary's County, Maryland, William Barton
-Smoot was listed as captain of the Lower Battalion of the county's
-militia during the American Revolution[96] and a William Smoot was
-recorded as a recruit for service in the War of 1812 by James Jarboe
-of Great Mills.[97] Mentions were made throughout the eighteenth and
-nineteenth centuries of Smoot activities having to do with railroads,
-roads and schools.[98] The Smoot family also appears in the public
-records of Charles County, Maryland. Some family members migrated to
-Kentucky, others to Washington, D.C.[99]
-
-Although Jacob Gilliam Smoot of Georgetown, D.C., purchased 208 acres
-of property--Salona--in 1853, he also held property on High Street
-(now Wisconsin Avenue) in Georgetown from which he probably obtained
-income. His family spent winters in Georgetown. Smoot had attended
-Charlotte Hall Academy in Maryland and his son William was a
-graduate, in law, from Georgetown.[100] The Salona property was of a
-size and assessed valuation consistently greater than over half of
-the properties assessed in Fairfax County at the time. Smoot's
-personal property including several slaves, was also well above
-average in quantity and evaluation.[101]
-
-Sometime following Smoot's purchase of Salona, he bought two prize
-hunting dogs for a total of $5,000. The dogs later died from rabies.
-Smoot was interested in establishing a good herd of cattle so he
-purchased expensive registered Aberdeen Angus cattle prior to the
-Civil War. During the war, the cattle were appropriated and eaten by
-Union troops.[102] There were 50 cattle listed in the tax assessment
-in 1857, but the herd had dropped to 12 by 1860. In that year, Smoot
-was also assessed for 20 sheep and hogs. Gold, plate, silver,
-jewelry, kitchen and house furnishings were evaluated at $500, far
-above the average that year in Fairfax County.[103] The Smoots were a
-relatively well-to-do family.

-Hymn of the Republic--'A Hundred Circling Camps.' The Fifth Vermont

-formation in the lower right hand corner can still be seen on Kurtz
-Road near Salona._]
-
-[Illustration: _The McDowell map of northeastern Virginia, 1862,
-showing the section including Fort Marcy, Langley, Lewinsville and
-the Smoot's "Salona" property._]
-
-From October, 1861, to April, 1862, according to a strong Smoot
-family tradition, Salona was used as the headquarters of the Army of
-the Potomac. Camp Griffin, in fact, was an installation partly on
-Salona and partly on adjoining farms and was part of the outer
-defenses of Washington. General George McClellan's dispatches,
-however, never used either Salona or Smoot's Hill as a source,
-although he did use datelines of Fairfax Court House and Camp
-Griffin. Military historians generally agree that McClellan was
-living in Washington, D.C., at the time, and, therefore, as
-commanding general, his residence would have been considered the
-headquarters.[104]
-
-It is certain that troops were camped there and that there was
-skirmishing in the immediate vicinity of Salona. The following
-incident was recorded by E. M. Woodward, adjutant in the Second
-Pennsylvania Reserves:
-
- Early on the morning of the 9th (October
- 1861) General Smith advanced his division
- from the neighborhood of Chain Bridge to
- Langley where deploying his skirmishers, he
- pushed forward a brigade on the Dranesville
- Pike, and took possession of Prospect Hill.
- With his main body he diverged from the pike
- at Langley to the left, advancing toward
- Lewinsville, which village he entered and
- occupied without opposition, leaving the
- main portion of his troops at Smoot's Hill
- and pushing on a detachment to occupy
- Miner's Hill....
-
- During the first ten days, the "long roll"
- was beaten and the men got under arms five
- times. On the night of the 11th the pickets
- in the neighborhood of Lewinsville were
- driven in and the next day the enemy
- consisting of at least three regiments of
- infantry, some cavalry and a battery of six
- guns were discovered near Miner's Hill,
- concealed in the woods, which led to the
- supposition that an attack was meditated the
- next morning. At noon the drums beat and the
- men got into fighting order. General
- McClellan and staff including the Comte de
- Paris and the Duc de Chartres rode over and
- remained during the night at Smoot's House,
- and at midnight the drums beat again and
- every preparation was made for an attack.
-
- It was a clear and beautiful night, the moon
- shone forth in its mild beauty, the stars
- twinkled with resplendant glory and not a
- cloud glided through the sky. The drums beat
- the long roll, the trumpets of cavalry and
- artillery sounded their shrill blasts and the
- bands of the infantry pealed forth their most
- soul-stirring strains. The camp-fires burned
- brightly, the glittering bayonets and sabres
- flashed in the light and every heart beat
- high with hope.... But alas, after remaining
- in position until daybreak, chilled with
- falling dews, the boys were doomed to
- disappointment. Beauregard had only been in a
- reconnaissance in force, to ascertain our
- position since the recent extension of our
- front.[105]
-
-When the federal troops moved out of the encampment in March, 1862,
-Captain W. A. Hawley and Lt. Col. W. B. Hazmand of the 102^d New York
-Volunteer Battalion signed the following memorandum giving all army
-materials left behind to Jacob Smoot:[106]
-
-[Illustration: _Original memorandum in the possession of Clive and
-Susan DuVal, Salona._]
-
-The Smoots spent most of the war in Georgetown, returning at the end
-in time to save some furniture and the main part of the house from
-being burned. Both wings of the house, the garden and many fine trees
-had been destroyed in their absence. They had filed petitions during
-the war asking the federal government for compensation for their
-losses. When federal troops had occupied Salona, Smoot had taken
-eight slaves to Georgetown where his brother John was in the drygoods
-business. During the investigation of his reparations claim it was
-discovered that J. G. Smoot had signed the Ordinance of Secession in
-the Lewinsville Precinct in Fairfax County on May 23, 1861. This act
-disqualified him from receiving compensation.[107]
-
-Following the war, the Smoots set about the arduous task of restoring
-their farm to its former prosperity. By 1868, the aggregate value of
-personal property at Salona was $1,085, and in that year, only one in
-15 taxpayers in the county had a personal property tax evaluation of
-over $1,000. A rosewood piano made its appearance, followed the next
-year by the addition of a "pleasure carriage" and a watch.[108] In
-1870, books and pictures owned by Smoot were valued at $25.00--the
-vast majority of taxpayers had none assessed at all. By 1881, there
-were four conveyances, 10 horses, 10 cattle, 15 sheep, books valued
-at $50.00, two watches and two clocks. One of the clocks was probably
-the chiming grandfather's clock made in Newburyport, Massachusetts,
-which was built about 1817 and is still in the family.[109] A sewing
-machine was also listed. It is interesting to note that by 1881, at
-least half of the households in Fairfax County had such a
-machine.[110]
-
-Salona was a working farm with a large barn, smokehouse, ice pond,
-and cabinetshop. Hogs, sheep, cattle and fowl were raised as well as
-wheat and corn. The old stone house, thought by the family to have
-been the oldest structure on the place, was surrounded by a peach
-orchard. The Smoots grew scuppernong grapes, plums and apricots.
-Italian grape vines adorned the arbor between the house and the brick
-privy. Descendants say that the farm had a consistently high yield
-per acre of corn and wheat, and that this information was faithfully
-recorded in account books which were destroyed when the attic was
-cleaned out or taken by vandals and lost.[111] But records in
-gazetteers listed J. G. and William Smoot as principal farmers in the
-Langley area for a period of more than 20 years.[112]

-Like William Maffitt, Jacob Smoot died intestate, in 1875. He was
-survived by his widow Harriet and their four children, William S.,
-Helen M., Harriet E., and Catherine C. After his widow died, each of
-the children received one-fourth of the estate. Even before Jacob's
-death, William Smoot, Sr., had taken over management of the farm
-while his unmarried sisters kept house. Each of the sisters took one
-of William's sons to raise. Jennie, William's wife, according to the
-Smoot descendants, acted as hostess, greeting visitors and
-entertaining them. Their son John moved to Georgetown; William Jr.,
-went to Waterford to be the miller there; Gilliam stayed with his
-parents and gradually took over the farm operations. Life at Salona
-went on as usual, with no question of selling the farm or dividing
-its acreage.
-
-William S. Smoot, Sr., died in 1900 leaving his share of Salona by
-will to his widow, Jennie K. Smoot. When she in turn died intestate,
-their three children, John D. K., Calder Gilliam, and William S.,
-Jr., shared her portion of the estate. Jacob's three daughters never
-married, so their portions descended to their three nephews,
-William's sons, John, Calder Gilliam (known by the family as
-Gilliam), and William, Jr.
-
-Both John and William died intestate. John's share of Salona was
-divided among his widow, Julia B., and their children, Jane Smoot
-Wilson, John D. K. Smoot, Jr., and Henry B. Smoot. William's share
-went to his widow, Elizabeth, and their two sons, William S., III,
-and John J.[113]
-
-[Illustration: _"Salona," from an unpublished picture taken by "The
-Rambler," about 1914. See_ Sunday Star_, "The Rambler," August 2,
-1914._]
-
-In 1914, The Rambler, a Washington Star columnist, visited Salona,
-talked with the Smoots, and wrote a charming word picture of the
-exterior of the house:
-
- You draw up in front of the garden which
- surrounds the house. A white-washed fence
- four boards high, incloses the garden.
- Inside are old cedars thick through the
- trunk and solemn in foliage. There are
- clumps of rose bushes and borders of
- jonquils. Stumps of trees that have been
- wrecked by wind or lightning support
- bark-bound flower boxes. A driveway curves
- to the left and a gravel path leads straight
- to the front porch before which the box
- trees are growing. The porch is capacious
- with a balcony on top. Under the porch and
- in the middle of the house is an arched
- doorway. On the left of the garden around
- the house is an apple orchard and on the
- right is a flourishing grape arbor. This is
- Salona. It is a fine, quiet and dignified
- old place.[114]
-
-Some years later, in 1932, for the first time in history (as far as
-it is known) Salona was open to view by the general public. It was
-one of the occasions in local observance of the George Washington
-Bicentennial Birthday Anniversary. Mrs. John Kurtz Smoot was the
-official hostess and she and her house tour guides were dressed in
-floor-length period costumes.[115]
-
-World War II brought the end of the estate as a family farm. Gilliam
-was growing older and was suffering from arthritis; help was almost
-impossible to find. Unable to carry on with farming, Gilliam rented
-the land to the Carper family as pasture and moved from the mansion
-into a smaller house nearby. A family of Negro caretakers moved into
-Salona for a time. After the Carper lease expired without renewal,
-the caretakers left. William S. Smoot, III, occasionally lived on the
-property, sometimes in a portion of the main house, and sometimes in
-the old stone house, which he dreamed of remodeling. The main house
-was rented to an antique dealer who, according to a Smoot descendant,
-had the house "filled with junk from top to bottom."
-
-Since they could no longer maintain Salona as a working farm and none
-of them wanted to occupy the main house on a permanent basis, the
-Smoots decided to partition the property. In 1948, Calder G. Smoot,
-only surviving son of William S. and Jennie K. Smoot, Sr., received
-as his share some 65 acres and the house. He did not, however, occupy
-Salona.[116] In the late 1940s and early 1950s, small parcels of the
-Salona property were sold to the McLean Baptist Church, the Salona
-Shopping Center and Trinity Methodist Church.[117]
-
-In the early 1950s, Salona was rented to the McLean Summer Theatre as
-a dormitory for the actors. Reportedly, they left the house "a
-shambles." The next tenants were a Danish captain and his family who
-occupied the east wing.
-
-In 1952, Calder Gilliam Smoot died "unmarried and intestate" and his
-65 acres and the house became the joint property of his four nephews:
-John D. K. Smoot, Jr., Henry B. Smoot, William S. Smoot, III, and
-John J. Smoot, and of his niece, Jane Wilson Smoot. Most of this
-property, in three separate land transactions, became the property of
-Clive and Susan DuVal.[118]

-
- SALONA AND THE DUVALS
-
-
-Susan and Clive DuVal, II, arrived in northern Virginia in 1952,
-hunting for an older house with interesting architectural features
-and surrounding acreage. When they discovered Salona, it was occupied
-by the Danish family who were in the east wing. They decided it was
-just the house they wanted, unprepossessing though it appeared, full
-of the musty odor of unoccupied houses, ill-treated by a succession
-of temporary tenants and youthful vandals, and in poor repair inside
-and out. Inspection of the house would have discouraged the average
-home buyer but the DuVals had the desire and resources to do what was
-necessary to rehabilitate the dwelling and to live in it.
-
-The first of three tracts was purchased from the Smoot heirs in
-January, 1953, and the DuVals spent about a year extensively
-renovating the house and grounds before they moved in. Without
-specific descriptions of the original house to use as guidelines,
-they attempted to preserve as much as possible of the presumed
-original dwelling while adapting it to modern living.[119]
-
-Both of the DuVals are descendants of French Huguenots who immigrated
-to New Amsterdam in the late eighteenth century. Both were born in
-New York City. One of Mrs. DuVal's grandfathers was Jesse Metcalf, a
-United States senator from Rhode Island, and her father was Frederic
-H. Bontecow, a New York state senator. As other residents of Salona
-had been before them, the DuVals were well educated, above the
-average level of Fairfax County residents. Mrs. DuVal is a graduate
-of Vassar, DuVal of Yale University Law School. And like some of
-their predecessors, their income, cultural interests and extent of
-community involvement are also well above the average for the time in
-which they live.[120]
-
-The DuVal family arrived in Fairfax County during a period when the
-population growth was expanding rapidly, both from in-migration and
-natural increase. With them the couple brought their three children,
-Susan Lynde (Lyn), Clive, III, and David. Daniel, their fourth, was
-born in 1953. Their experience was a reflection of the times--in the
-1950 U. S. Census, Fairfax County's population was 98,557; in 1960,
-it had increased to 248,897.[121]
-
-[Illustration: _The DuVal family, about 1957. Left to right Daniel,
-Susan Lynde, Clive II, Susan, David and Clive III. The English
-setters, Christmas, Dusty and Belle, are also "members of the
-family."_]
-
-Also reflecting the Washington metropolitan area's typical experience
-in the 1950s, DuVal came from elsewhere to accept employment with the
-federal government, in his case, as Assistant General Counsel
-(International Affairs) for the Department of Defense. He was,
-typically, a World War II veteran, a former officer in the United
-States Navy. From 1955 to 1959, he was general counsel for the United
-States Information Agency. Since then, he has been in the private
-practice of law. As did the majority of married women with children
-in the decades 1950-1970, in Fairfax County, Mrs. DuVal stayed at
-home with the children rather than taking a regular outside job,
-except for her many volunteer projects in which she was regularly
-involved in the McLean community.[122]
-
-Salona became a place of hospitality, where social, political, arts
-and educational events were held. The Woman's Club of McLean, the
-McLean House Tour, the McLean Ballet Company, Children's Hospital,
-the Fairfax YWCA, the McLean Boys Club, the Northern Virginia
-Democratic Women's Club, Yale University students and the Historical
-Society of Fairfax County, were among the many beneficiaries of the
-DuVals' generosity in making Salona available for special
-events.[123]
-
-In 1965, DuVal ran for and was elected to the Virginia House of
-Delegates, in which he served for three consecutive terms.[124] He
-ran unsuccessfully for the United States Senate seat against Harry F.
-Byrd, Jr., in the democratic primary in 1970, but was subsequently
-elected to the Virginia State Senate in 1971 and 1975.[125]
-
-Because of his deep interest in conservation and environmental
-protection, DuVal received both the Virginia state award and the
-National Wildlife Federation award in 1970 for being the outstanding
-conservation legislator in the United States.[126] Consistent with
-this demonstrated interest, the DuVals decided to take a major step
-in conservation themselves. They entered into a perpetual easement
-agreement in 1971 with the Board of Supervisors, Fairfax County,
-Virginia, for the historic preservation of Salona, its surrounding
-outbuildings and eight acres of land. In the same legal instrument, a
-temporary easement for the remaining 44.3 acres was arranged for a
-period of at least ten years.[127] A later amendment, in 1974,
-provided for termination of the temporary easement only after January
-1, 1990.[128]
-
-In 1975, a patriotic organization, the Society of the United States
-Daughters of 1812, obtained the DuVals' permission to place an
-historic plaque at Salona to commemorate James Madison's visit there
-in 1814. The bronze plaque was mounted in a foundation stone from
-what are thought to have been old slave quarters. They once stood in
-the side yard below the house. The plaque reads as follows:
-
-
- 1784-1815

-
- SALONA: THE HOUSE AND OUTBUILDINGS
-
-
-The date of construction and the name of the builder of the house
-known as Salona are unknown.
-
-There have been many changes to the mansion house, the outbuildings
-and grounds through the years. The central house now has only one
-wing instead of the earlier two. The large barn has been torn down;
-only the substantial foundation bears witness to its size. A pile of
-rubble marks the site of "the old stone house," thought by the Smoot
-family to have been the oldest structure on the property. The
-driveway entrance is off Buchanan Street instead of the Falls Road,
-although evidence of the older driveway still exists. The rear
-entrance road has been blocked by subdivision construction, although
-its route remains visible across the south side of the property.
-Perhaps the most decided changes are in the use of the land itself.
-As McLean grew, the Salona farm shrank in area and its formerly
-fertile acres were transformed into shopping centers, subdivisions,
-streets and roads.
-
-Architectural historians say that they cannot pin-point the exact
-construction date of Salona, but believe it to have been between 1790
-and 1810, a full twenty-year span. This belief is based in part on
-examination of the types of nails used in the attic of the main
-house, as well as the similarity of the "cross and Bible" door at the
-north entrance to some of the doors at Sully, whose construction
-began in 1793.[129] Many local sources claim that the house was built
-in 1801 by William Maffitt,[130] but this supposition has not been
-documented. The Smoot children were always told by their elders that
-the house was started in 1790 and finished in 1801, and that Maffitt
-was the builder. There was a residential structure on the land when
-the 466 acres were advertised for sale in 1811.[131]
-
-[Illustration]
-
-Originally, the house was probably a rectangular two-story, five-bay
-structure with flanking wings, which may have been frame. On the
-north front, the brickwork is Flemish bond; on the other three sides
-and the wing it is common bond. There are two interior end chimneys.
-An elaborate bracketed cornice supports the gabled roof. This cornice
-and the bracketed entrance porch with paired, squared columns show
-definite Victorian influence and were probably originally added after
-the Civil War. The DuVals altered the design slightly when they
-renovated the house in 1952.
-
-The most unusual feature of Salona is its wide T-shaped hall which
-runs the full width of the north front of the central house, with the
-main stairway rising at its west end directly across one of the front
-windows. The long hall originally led to the wings on either end, but
-these were apparently destroyed during the Civil War and only the
-east wing was rebuilt in 1866. There is a fireplace in every room,
-although most of the Federal-style mantels have been recently
-installed in Salona and have come from old houses in North Carolina
-and New England. There are chair rails on the walls of the living
-room, dining room, and the first floor hallway. Extensive remodeling
-was done by the present owners.[132] The T-shaped hall ends on the
-solid wall behind the stairway on the west side, and on the east
-leads directly into the post-Civil War wing which contains a small
-sitting room, bathroom, and the kitchen. The smaller hall, the stem
-of the T, runs perpendicular to the main hall with opposing entrance
-doors at each end. The spacious living and dining rooms flank the
-smaller hall, with entrances from the main hall.
-
-[Illustration]
-
-It is a Smoot family legend that Constantino Brumidi, the Italian
-immigrant who painted many of the murals in the U. S. Capitol in
-Washington, D.C., was given shelter by the Smoots, probably after the
-Civil War, when he was destitute. As a token of his gratitude, he
-decorated the ceilings of the living room and dining room with
-flowers and fruits. No trace of these paintings now exists. However,
-when the DuVals purchased Salona in 1952, there were clearly remains
-of paintings on the walls and ceilings. But the plaster was in such
-poor condition that it had to be completely replaced.
-
-On the second floor, an upper hall, slightly smaller than the one
-below, runs across the north front. It may once have been an open "T"
-before modernization and the addition of two bathrooms by the DuVals.
-To the right from the head of the stairs is the master bedroom with a
-brick hearth and brick and wood mantel. The next bedroom, almost as
-large, also contains a brick and wood mantel. In the east wing, the
-hall leads directly into a den from which a stairway goes up to an
-attic bedroom and bath, both added by the DuVals. The den also serves
-as a passageway to a secondary hallway from which open two smaller
-bedrooms separated by another stairway leading to the first floor
-close to the kitchen. The unfinished portion of the attic is used for
-storage. There is a partial basement, primarily under the east wing.
-
-No copy of the original floor plan has been found. Records of the
-Virginia Mutual Assurance Society in Richmond show that no fire
-insurance was ever purchased from them on Salona, hence no floor plan
-drawings are on file there.[133]
-
-Because Maffitt died intestate, his estate was inventoried and
-appraised. As a result, we know that the original house contained a
-dining room furnished with a "set of three dining tables" and 24
-Windsor chairs, which tends to support the tradition that the
-original dining room was in the west wing, possibly occupying the
-entire first floor of it.[134]
-
-According to Smoot family legend, Salona was built entirely by
-slaves, who made the brick from clay on the property. These legends
-also claim that the woodwork was made by William Buckland who did the
-woodwork at Gunston Hall in 1758. This seems unlikely as William
-Buckland died in 1774. Smoot family legends also say that the house
-was built by Maffitt, with construction starting in 1790 and ending
-in 1801, and that the wings were larger than the main house.
-
-Although the DuVals found no remnants of a west wing foundation when
-they were doing extensive grading, there is visual evidence in the
-brick mortar that a doorway and a window existed in the west end of
-the main house. Moreover, architectural historians believe that the
-placement of the kitchen and summer kitchen testify to the west
-wing's existence. Furthermore, the Smoots agree that their older
-relatives stated that the Yankees destroyed the west wing which was
-never rebuilt.

-opening. Photo by the author, 1975._]
-
-
- The Outbuildings
-
-The old stone house was an enigma which fascinated the young Smoots.
-They report that the house was built around an oversized stone
-chimney in its center, with four fireplaces, two back-to-back on each
-floor. Downstairs was one big room, with a winding stairway at one
-end leading to the second floor where there were two rooms.
-Unfortunately the building was in such disrepair when the DuVals
-bought the property that they later had it razed in the interests of
-safety. It was located north and east of the mansion house and was
-referred to by one of the Smoots as "the trappers cabin."
-
-The old stone spring house is still standing.

-
-A number of early outbuildings are still in use at Salona. Close to
-the house on the south is the outdoor brick kitchen, used by the
-Smoots as a "summer kitchen," now by the DuVals as a guest house.
-Diagonally opposite the east wing is a former brick smoke house now
-used for storage. Farther to the southeast is a board and batten
-corncrib. Some distance farther east are the ruins of a large bank
-barn, whose thick stone foundations testify to its former size and
-sturdiness. At the west end of the house, some distance away, is an
-old three-hole brick privy, once approached through a grape arbor.
-
-The DuVals have built a tennis court on a lower level of land on the
-east.[135]

-Because it was a "wonderfully sound, nice and comfortable, gracious
-old house" with many pleasant and historical associations and
-memories, the DuVals felt that Salona should be permanently
-preserved.[136] In 1971, a permanent historic and scenic easement and
-a temporary easement were drawn up by the DuVals, and signed on
-behalf of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors by County Executive
-George Kelley.[137] (See appendix for full text of the document.)
-
-Both easements were designed to assist the county's efforts to
-protect and maintain "the scenic, historic, and recreational values
-of land within the County." It also fitted in with the county
-government's stated purpose to shape the character, direction and
-timing of community development through the preservation of open
-space land. The permanent easement was also given "to protect in
-perpetuity the mansion known as 'Salona.'" It provides that "The
-mansion house known as 'Salona' as such structure exists at the date
-of the execution of this instrument, shall not be razed, demolished,
-moved or relocated until such action is approved by the Board of
-County Supervisors acting upon the advice of the Architectural Review
-Board ... or until such structure becomes uninhabitable or demolished
-through fire, storm or similar natural calamity."
-
-Provision is also made for the protection of trees and shrubbery and
-various uses permitted under the permanent easement.
-
-The permanent easement includes the eight acres surrounding the
-mansion; the temporary easement covers the remaining 44.3 acres.
-
-On November 20, 1974, the deed of easement was amended, providing for
-the termination of the temporary easement only after January 1, 1990.
-The amendment was signed by the DuVals and Jean Packard, Chairman
-acting for the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors.[138]
-
-Salona was placed on the Virginia Landmarks Register on June 19,
-1973,[139] and on the National Register of Historic Places on July
-24, 1973.[140]

-copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
-works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
-are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project

-before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
-creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project

-property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
-including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
-because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
-people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

-and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
-and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
-SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
-particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
-To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
-works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
-concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
-with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
-Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
-unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
-keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
-
- www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
