RICHARD NEWMAN EUBANK was born December 22, 1792 in Amherst County, Virginia, the ninth child of John Eubank and Margaret Newman.Eubank John and Margaret had moved from Bowling Green, Caroline County, to Amherst some time during 1780 or 1781. John served in the Amherst County Militia in 1781. John's brother George Eubank and his wife Delilah Williams also moved to Amherst.

Library of Congress, Geography and Map Division, Washington, D.C.
Amherst County, Virginia - 1864
Pedlar Mills, Horsley's Creek., Crawford's Gap, Ware's Gap area

The James River is the boundary between Amherst and Bedford counties. Waugh's Ferry, at the lower left in the map, served travelers between Bedford and Amherst, and was a major crossing point for early southwest migrations. Amherst County initiated a petition to establish Waugh's Ferry (lower left on map) in May of 1783. Residents John, George, and Ambrose Eubank were among the petitioners. Ambrose served in the Revolutionary War from Caroline County, and subsequently bought land on Horsleys Creek in Amherst in 1779. Waugh's Ferry Farm was on the Amherst side of the James River and Thomas Waugh's home was called Verdant Vale. The road coming down from Amherst Courthouse, crossing Tobacco Row Mountain at Ware's Gap, and continuing south to Pedlar Mills, was a major route through the county. In 1792 this road ran through or near John Eubank's land, which was located on the northside of Tobacco Row Mountain near Ware's Gap and the head of Puppies Creek.

1810 U.S. Census The 1810 U.S. Census, Amherst County, shows John Eubank and James Ware to be neighbors. From 1814 he and wife Nancy Garland Pendleton ran their home as an inn or tavern. It was most likely located at the intersection of two major roads near Pedlar Mills. The neighbors listed on page four were William Shepherd (not shown), Allen Thomas, Abram Carter, John Mitchell, William Shoemaker, Richard Lawless, Arthur White, John Magam.

George W. Eubank account with James Ware - 1815
Above is the top portion of an account sheet kept by George W. Eubank with James Ware's inn. George W. Eubank was a son of George Eubank, who moved with brother John to Amherst from Caroline in 1780/81. This account sheet covered the years 1815 through June 1817. This would be either George's or James Ware's hand writing. [Note: This sheet is from the collection of family documents owned by the late Mrs. Sallie Eubank, of which, in the 1980's, Mrs. Eubank shared several copies. These precious family documents have been saved by several generations of descendants of George Eubank and Delilah Williams, greatgrandparents of Mrs. Eubank.] .

Richard's mother Margaret Newman Eubank died between the years 1805 and 1810. Richard's youngest brother William E.J. "Jett" was born in 1805. On the 1810 census there is no older female living with the family. Living with John in 1810 were three males under ten years (James, Edmund V., and William Jett), two males, ten through fifteen years (Robert M. and Richard N., though Richard would have been eighteen, and older than the age category, this entry may be Richard), and two females sixteen through twenty-six (Margaret and Mary).

Mary Camden Ware, born 1803
Richard and Mary were acquainted through church, family, and neighborhood. Growing up they would have likely attended church at the Pedlar Chapel, known for many years now as Saint Lukes Episcopal, located at Pedlar Mills. James Ware and Nancy Garland Pendleton were Mary's parents. Both John Eubank and James Ware were vestrymen in Lexington Parish. Mary celebrated her seventeenth birthday on October 30, 1820. Two months later on Richard's twenty-eighth birthday, December 22, 1820 they were married. James was the son of John Ware and Elizabeth, whose surname has eluded researchers. According to names given James' brothers, and a name James gave to his first son,Elizabeth's name may have been Mansfield, Anderson, Dudley, or Dabney.

The Ellis Family of Amherst County has for years been closely associated with Saint Luke's Episcopal Chapel at Pedlar Mills. Major Charles Ellis settled his Red Hill plantation along Pedlar River in 1754 and was a frontier officer in the French and Indian War. Charles' son Josiah gave the land for the first church building. A note in the parish registry indicates Major Josiah Ellis was appointed to accept subscriptions   in 1799.    The   present    membership       Saint Luke's Episcopal Chapel
of Saint Luke's is again meeting   in this historic church.

Richard's sisters Ann and Margaret married sons of Josiah Ellis.  Ann or Nancy Newman Eubank married first William Taliaferro and second John Ellis. Margaret Newman Eubank married Joshua Shelton Ellis. Richard's brother Thomas Newman Eubank married Josiah's daughter, Jane Shelton Ellis.

Red Hill - built by
Richard Shelton Ellis
in 1824/25. After Josiah Ellis died, his son Richard Shelton Ellis, managed the farm at Red Hill. Richard managed Josiah's mercantile businesses and mill at Pedlar Mills. Richard built the Red Hill home in 1824/25. Josiah's eldest son Capt. John Ellis lived at nearby Cloverdale Plantation with wife Ann (Eubank) and their family. Josiah's second youngest son Joshua Shelton Ellis and wife Margaret (Eubank) lived at Round Top, an 18th century one and a half story residence located a half mile from Red Hill. Joshua and Margaret's son Robert Newman Ellis, a merchant at Pedlar Mills in the late 1800's, bought Round Top in 1895 and Red Hill in 1898. In the early 1900's Robert Ellis' brother-in-law John Mitchell bought Round Top and Red Hill.

Josiah Ellis' family was an interesting one. Josiah and his wife Jane Shelton of Amherst, whom he married in 1766, had eleven children. His second eldest son Charles Ellis was a partner in the mercantile business Ellis and Allan of Richmond. John Allan was the foster parent of author Edgar Allan Poe. Josiah's son Thomas Harding Ellis and Poe were boyhood friends. As a teen and living in Richmond, Poe spent time in summers and on holidays at Red Hill. Back from a stay in England in 1820 John Allan and his wife and eleven-year-old Poe lived with the Ellises for about a year. It is the family history and genealogy written by Thomas Ellis in 1849 by which we can identify the family relationships. Josiah's youngest son Powhatan Ellis was educated at Washington Academy in Lexington, Virginia, and Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. He studied law at William and Mary College in Williamsburg, Virginia, and later served as a U.S. Senator from Mississippi from 1827 through 1832. He afterward was a U.S. Court judge for the district of Mississippi from 1832 to 1836.

Red Hill Farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 9, 1980. See a description of the house at :

Taliaferro.
           In 1830 Richard bought a lot in Lovingston, Nelson County, from Frances Harrison, a lot which had belonged to Preston Garland.
          February 26, 1831 - Thomas N. Eubank was evidently handling the sale of Mansfield Ware's lot and brick house [ James Ware's Inn] at Pedlar Mills. [This house, or another house and lot nearby, was given Mary Camden Ware by her father. She relinguished dower rights when the lot was sold by her husband Richard to her brother Mansfield Ware.] Mansfield sold the inn to Robert H. Pryor and Pryor sold to William Shelton and he in turn sold to William Tucker on April 30, 1833.]
           June 20, 1831 - Richard again served as bondsman, along with Wm. H. Garland, for John D. Ware's constable certification.

Tudor Hall - Richard and Mary's home in Amherst County, located along Old Lexington Turnpike, about four miles west of Amherst Courthouse. ( See aerial photo below.)

Site of Tudor Hall, Amherst County, Virginia
In the map above, the bold yellow line is modern Route 60, Lexington Turnpike. Tudor Hall Drive on the map was the route Old Lexington Turnpike took when Richard and Mary lived there. For almost twenty years between 1820 and 1838 they lived here with sons and daughters, and a servant family of ten. This aerial view shows the location of the house. It was located at the site of the modern house shown at the head of the drive near the edge of the trees. The excavated burrow of the old house cellar was used in preparation for the basement of the new house. The house was built in the traditional English Tudor style during the late 1700's. By other description of such houses it would have had exposed wood timbers marking the structural framework, steeply pitched roof with cross gables on the front, a prominent chimney, and tall casement windows composed of small-paned leaded glass.

Looking at the small map shown at right, which was drawn in the 1860's during the Civil War, the large dot at the creek, just left of the J in Jennings locates the old home prior to the construction of the present Lexington Turnpike.

A long-time resident of the Sardis area, Mr. Theodore Jennings, now deceased, was so kind to show us, my mother, sister and me, the area during one of our trips to Amherst in the late 1980's. Mr. Jennings shared his historical knowledge of the area. His ancestral family owned the land and the old home for a number of years during the second half of the 1800's. In the early 20th century the property was owned by the heirs of Col.William A. Richardson. The home may have been built by David S. Garland, Mary's granduncle, brother of her grandmother Frances Marie Anna Garland.   David owned extensive acreage on both sides of the Buffalo River. He built Brick House at New Glasgow (Clifford) in Amherst in 1795. It is included on the National Register.

The Eubank's farm acreage contained about 2,000 acres, joining the lands of John Penn and Lindsey Coleman. By a 1980 landmarks survey by the Virginia Historic Landmarks Commission, the home was built in the late 1700's.

Tudor Hall Drive and the Site of the Old Home
The road crossing the width of the photo above is Tudor Hall Drive. Beyond the sloping drive, barely visible, and into the first line of trees is the site of the old house. At the time of the survey in 1980, a Richardson descendant recalled as a child seeing ruins of the old structure. Beyond the line of trees in the background of the photo is modern Lexington Turnpike, and beyond in the background is Jennings Mountain.

Four children were born to Richard and Mary during the 1820's : Frances Marie Ann Eubank, Selina Jane Eubank Margaret N. Eubank, and John James Eubank On the 1830 U.S.Census, another female between 15 and 20 years is living with the family. She may be Mary's sister Ann, who later married Robert Peebles. Mary's sister, Elizabeth Frances Ware, named for her Ware and Garland grandmothers, died at five months. Mary Dudley Eubank was born in 1830, Richard Newman Eubank II in 1832, Virginia Eubank,1834, and Cornelia Sale Eubank in 1836.

Mary's mother Nancy Pendleton Ware died in 1825, and her father Capt. James Ware remarried in 1829 to Lucy Eubank. Lucy was the daughter of Amherst County settler George Eubank, brother of John and Ambrose. George died in June, 1826, in Amherst County, at age 80.Photo below is Nancy Ware's gravestone. She is buried near Pedlar Mills. James Ware died October 12, 1832.

In 1837 the home Tudor Hall and the land were bought by David S. Garland's son, William Henry Garland. He and Frances Marie Ann Eubank, Mary and Richard's daughter, married in 1840 in Madison County, Mississippi.

Mary gave up her right to dower in order to enhance the value of the property on the condition that Richard agree to certain items of property that would compensate for the value of her

relinguished property. Among the items of property mentioned in the document were "a closed carriage with two white horses."

A deed of trust was made in Hinds County, Mississippi, in 1843, between Richard and Mary. Mary's brother James D. Ware, a prosperous planter and businessman of Hinds County, served as trustee to protect Mary's dower interests, and it is clear that a portion of the Amherst lands and the home were a part of her dower. She also had inherited a house and lot at Pedlar Mills and land in Haywood County, Tennessee.

William Ware Eubank was born in Haywood County, Tennessee, on August 20, 1838, during the family's move to Mississippi. They stayed for several months to a year in Brownsville, Tennessee, to allow Mary's full recovery after the birth.

The move to Brownsville, Tennessee, and Jackson, Mississippi
Several of Mary's brothers and her sister Ann moved to Tennessee and Mississippi. Mansfield Ware and his wife Susan had moved to Haywood County, Tennessee by 1830. By 1840 John D. Ware and wife Julia, her sister Ann Ware and Robert Peebles, had settled in Haywood, in Brownsville. Edward Ware may have come to Tennessee also. He died in 1842. Reubin Seldon Ware moved to Wisconsin about 1830. Richard and Mary and Mary's brothers, James D.Ware and William Anderson Ware, Micajah Pendleton Ware, Gustavis Adolphus Ware moved farther south to Madison County and later Hinds County.

Bought land in Madison County, Mississippi
Richard and Mary bought land in Madison and Hinds Counties. They are listed on the Madison County 1840 U.S. Census and in Madison County state censuses in 1841 and 1845. They are included on tax rolls in Hinds County in 1843, 1847, and 1849. Daughters Frances Marie Ann Eubank and Margaret Newman Eubank were married in Madison County. On the 1840 U.S.Census, Richard and Mary owned 29 slaves, of whom 16 were employed in agriculture. The youngest children, Ellen Eubank and Ada Eubank were born in Madison County.
