Bouldin, Thomas Tyler (d. 1834) – Encyclopedia Virginia

Bouldin was born probably in Charlotte County, the son of Wood Bouldin and Joanna Tyler Bouldin. His father was a prominent local attorney, and his mother was a sister of Governor John Tyler, making him a cousin of President John Tyler. Bouldin read law, possibly in his father’s office, and was admitted to the bar on December 6, 1802, by which time he was presumably about twenty-one years old. He married Ann Bickerton Lewis in Richmond on December 19, 1804. They had six sons and five daughters before she died on December 25, 1823. On March 7, 1825, Bouldin married Eliza Watkins Spencer, of Charlotte County. They had four sons.

Editorial: Reflecting on a lesser-known civil rights figure

Today marks the official Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, a day we set aside to honor the civil rights leader who was slain 53 years ago this spring.
That seems an apt time on which to reflect on the life of a lesser-known civil rights figure and former Virginia office-holder who was murdered 152 years ago â and is just now getting his due from history. This is the story of Joseph R. Holmes.
We must rewind to the years immediately following the Civil War, when Virginia was formally known as the First Military District as it awaited readmission to the Union. That required a new state constitution, and that a constitutional convention. In 1867, Virginia held elections to that body. Many former Confederates were barred from voting under congressional rules; others boycotted the elections. That led to Republicans â the abolitionist party â winning a majority in the convention. That convention, which assembled Dec. 3, 1867, was a multiracial body. Of the 104 delegates, at least 24 and possibly 25 were Black men, many of them former slaves who now were able to take part in writing the new fundamental law of the land.
