Daniel, John M. (1825–1865) – Encyclopedia Virginia

Early Years
John Moncure Daniel was born on October 24, 1825, in Stafford County and was the son of John Moncure Daniel, a physician, and his first wife, Eliza Mitchell Daniel. He was educated by his father and attended school in Richmond, where he lived with his granduncle Peter V. Daniel, a member of the Council of State and an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. Early in the 1840s he read law in Fredericksburg in the office of John Tayloe Lomax.
Penniless after the death of his father, Daniel moved to Richmond in 1845 and worked initially as librarian of the Patrick Henry Society, a gentleman’s literary club. Late in 1846 he became coeditor of the monthly

Bowser, Mary Richards (fl. 1846–1867) – Encyclopedia Virginia

Whig reported “Mary Jones,
alias Mary Jane Henley a likely mulatto girl, about twenty years of age, arrested for being without free papers, was committed for nine days. She was sent to the North about nine years ago, by a highly respectable lady of this city, for the purpose of receiving a thorough education, after completing which she went to Liberia.” The article asserted, “The laws of Virginia positively prohibit the return to this State of any free negro who has lived in a free State,” yet Richards remained in Richmond. This may have been because her freedom was likely de facto, not de jure—both Virginia law and stipulations in John Van Lew’s will made it difficult for the Van Lew family to free any of their slaves. If this was indeed the case, Richards likely experienced both the protection of and continued subjection to the Van Lew family. On August 30, at the end of her jail term, the

Turner's Revolt, Nat (1831) – Encyclopedia Virginia

The Confessions of Nat Turner. According to
The Confessions, Turner was born into slavery on a Southampton plantation on October 2, 1800. He could read and write, which was unusual for an enslaved person of that time and place, and he owned a Bible. He had a family, including a grandmother to whom he was “much attached”; a father who escaped slavery; and a wife and son, who lived on a neighboring farm. He was deeply religious, “devoting [his] time to fasting and prayer,” and experienced private revelations in which “the Spirit that spoke to the prophets in former days” spoke to him. When he was in his twenties, Turner ran away from his overseer. He was gone for a month, returning only, he said, at the spirit’s urging.

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.
