After leaving my la...Have to make another comment. After leaving my last comment, I continued to read about Beverly and remembered something worth commenting about. It is amazing how things that you have forgotten will come back to you, when you begin to talk about them. My great great (not sure how many "greats") uncle is Richard Long. Richard long was born at Beverly and his parents were formerly enslaved persons, at the plantation. He lived to be approximately 107 years old and died in 1971 (which is right around when I said I was at the Mansion, as a child). That may have been the reason why my mother and I were at the Mansion, because like I said, she told me that we had been invited. I can remember being at Uncle Richards funeral and just like my visit to the mansion, it is a very old and faint memory (I would have been five). I can remember my family being very upset and feeling disrespected because the newspaper refused to print his actual age. He had been born at the plantation and there were no legal records of his birth. Instead of printing the age which was reported by the family, the newspaper chose to make-up an age that they felt was more reasonable. He is buried in the cemetery at St James Church, on Colona Road, right down the road from the mansion. He was blind at the time of his death but the family said he was still sharp. I have a great aunt, who is still living and remembers him well. She is 100years old herself. She lives up here, in Philadelphia, but still owns a piece of property which is a short walk from the lane which runs back to the mansion. Her maiden name is Agnes Reynolds, Daughter of Sally.

I live in the Philadelphia area, now, but grew up in Salisbury. However, mother grew-up on Colona Road and my great grandmother lived VERY close to Beverly Mansion. I can remember going there, when I was very young. I don't recall exactly why we were there, but my mother made it seem as though we had been invited. She also implied that the invitation was a relatively regular occurrence (I could be wrong, I was very young). All I remember is sitting on a porch, exchanging pleasantries and talking about common things like the weather. This would have been somewhere in the early 70's, like 71 or 72 (I am 57 now). My mother's maiden name is Dennis and her younger sister (who is the only surviving sibling) used to say that their name was Dennis because they were descendant of slaves that dwelt on the plantation. Don't know how true that is, but it DOES follow reason. Anyway, the memory of being there is very faint and I couldn't appreciate it as a young child, but I have always wanted to go back there and visit as an adult, so that I can truly appreciate its historic value. I don't get down that way much, anymore. Only when some one dies and is buried at Saint James church, which is down the road from the Mansion. In addition, after selling this property, I will have no reason to visit the Saint James area at all, other than to show my 11-year-old where his grandmother grew up and visit the graveyard at St James church. I really enjoyed the article. Enjoyed the comments too (even the one about reparations [pipe dream, at this point]). It brought back a distant but pleasant memory.Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437893088344522100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220692451759265115.post-10178783238579070262023-12-28T22:05:33.769-05:002023-12-28T22:05:33.769-05:00My name is Alexis Beverly.

I was given a map 30 years ago by an old timer who has since died. I have poked around this area but it is so overgrown I would need some professionals to come in with sensing equipment. I am super interested in any info you might have about your Bailey ancestor.

I arrived at NIH during a record breaking cold spell and was shown my room and introduced to my roommate-Teddy. He had a strong accent; I asked him where he was from and he stated: "Tangier's Island!". I asked him if that was off the coast of Morocco. He told me it was in the Chesapeake Bay. We would be roommate for almost 4 months; I would learn that he was a waterman on the bay, play cards with his mother who was in a room down the hallway, meet his sister (also there to be studied), bring him on outings to Bish Thompsons bar and seafood restaurant, share stories with him and make him listen to my Barbara Streisand obsession-I played the theme from "Yentl" over and over again(in most ways I was a normal 25 year old, liked to party and do things my contemporaries did, the Streisand thing being an exception)-during those months. Only once did he threaten to throw my cassette player out of the window in frustration over have to listen to Barbara over and over again. Teddy would join myself and my fellow students on occasion. Teddy was a lovely man-kind, pure in the most genuine sense, and I have thought about him a lot over the years of my life. I am thinking of him now-in 2019-and how I continue to learn from the generosity of his nature.<br />Tod<br />tmilchman@yahoo.com todhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01090340532950055222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220692451759265115.post-63103453536828771512018-03-01T10:33:12.215-05:002018-03-01T10:33:12.215-05:00I wonder if we are related?
