Different brafiches
of the fainiiy bare differentftadi^ns
as
toits origin, andthe
philologists who
hare
been
consulted npon
the
subject
do not
agree
in their views as to the nationality of the'
name. Professor
Bchele
de Vere, of Virginia University, who isf
a recognized authority
upon
such matters, is of the opinion
that
(
the
name
is
of Scottish
origin, and that it is a corruption
of the
|
name Queensberry, and in
this view he
is
supported
by Dr. Wil- i.
liam
D.
Quesenberry,
of Milford, Caroline
county,
Virginia. Dr.
f-
Quesenberry
states
that
the tradition
that
has
come
down
to
him
\
is
that
the family is of Scottish origin; and he believes
the name
has been
corrupted from
Queensberry.
It appears, however,
that
|
no such patronymic as Queensberry exists in Scotland. There
is,
\ - - ^
..a
^ n w
indeed, a
Scotch
nobleman bearing the double title of D uke of county, Virginia, where he is a Justice o ^ ' ...
Buccleuch
and Queensberry,
and he
owns
the
ruins of the

ago
had in his possession

which
had come down to him through
many
of the Wizard of the North; but the
cognomen of
the Duke of [ unacquainted
with
black-letter, he presuine t a ^
Queensberry
is
Douglas, and in his case the term Queensberry is j ^ printed in Greek,
or
some other language, an e a ong
merely a title
of
honor appertaining
to
that branch of the Douglas f it as a scrap-book.
That

Dr.
Hyde Clark,
of
Xondon,
a
very distinguished philologist,
\
states
that he
is inclined
to think Quis^berry is
a
Dutch name,
|
bu t declines to give an authoritative opinion. Mr. Bernard Kettle, r
given an opinion
that
the
name
is
of Dutch origin; xmdit-is.stated ^
in support
of
this view that vast numbers of Dutch Protestants, J
fleeing from th e persecution of
the
bloody Duke of Alva, settled [
in England during the reign of Queen Elizabeth;..and
that these
^,
emigrants
added largely
to
the personal nomenclature of England,

their names general ly being more or less modified in
th e
process of i
Anglicization. j-

Jhe iMffiiBon
of bumerouB-members
of the family now living in
various parts of Virginia is that their ancestors came froin Eng-
nd.
The fact that the
name
in some of the
branches
of
the
family
itCairissenberry, Christenberry, and Christianberry, may m
dicate-the origin
of the
name
from
Christianbury Craig, amountam
in the extreme north of Cumberland county, England, and which,
indeed,
lies partly in England and
partly
in
Scotland. The
will
of
Humphrey Ques^bury (Appendix
II,
26), written
in
his

several times
uses
the term dafter '

a
strong
North of England colloquialism, which,
of
course, he had
acquired
from
his father and thosebefore
him.

much valuable

is

that
th e ashes
of
John '
Qiiisenberry
an d many
of
hi s descendants
rest in th e consecrated
soil of old Pope s

churchyard, which, in colon ial times. ;
was
adorned
with many
memorial stones. At
this
time,
however,
and
for
many
years
past,
it s numerous graves have been whollv r
unmarked, and it would, therefore,
be
quite impossible to identify
the grave of any })erBonwho there lies interred. = ;.
John

Without
stopping
to consider the enormous magnitude of a
Imnd
into
which
nine thousand pounds
of
tobacco and
casks could
be paid it
is
interesting to be a bl e t o
compute
the money value
of the
land. For
many years tobacco
was
the
principiil
legal
tender
and
medium
of exchange in
Virginia,
which colony never
had
a
coinage of
its
own. All
fluancial
transactions being com
puted in tobacco it was necessary for that
staple
to
have
a fixed
\alue, and the
Council, as
early
as
1639 hud by
enactment, placed
this
at ninepence perpound.
The
nine thousand pounds of tobacco
was
therefore
worth
337
1-2
in
money,
or
about
?1,125,
the
N irginia pound being worth
only 3.331-3; and
this made the
land
lOst
11.25
per
acre^at
least twice as much
as
it
would sell for
inthisyearof
grace, 1897, more
than
two hundred years
later.
This land, lying on the north side of the great road that
goeth from Pope s Creek
to the
head
of
Perpeto Creek,
it tran
spires,
was
in old Eappahannock
county,
which comprised portions
tif the present counties of King George, Bichmond, and Essex
and was formed about 1660,and was swallowedup by the forma
tion of
those
counties some years afterwards, disappearing en
tirely. The present Eappahannock county, Virginia, in an en
tirely different locality, was not formed until 1820.
The records of Bichmond county, Virginia, show that in 1718
Humphery Quesenbury, of Westmoreland county, bought a tract
of land in Bichmond county from one John Jennings, but there
is no further record of
it
i n t ha t county; bu t it
appears
to have
been th e same tract of
land sold
in 1728 by Thomas Quisenberry,
in King George county, to John Finch, in the deed to which he
mentions
that he received t he l an d u nd er
th e
will of l ii s father,
Humphrey Quisenberry. (See Appendices III, 2,and IV, 1, 2.) It
may further elucidate
this
matter to s ta t e t ha t Bichmond county
was f ormed in 1692
from
old Eappahannock, and King George
wa s
formed in 1720 f rom Bichmond.
