I102484: DAVID I de BARCLAY (1275

Notes

"Francis was Judge of the Virginia Court of Appeals at the time of his marriage to Mary Champe Carter. He was the son of Richard Brooke and Ann Hays Taliaferro (Francis of "Epsom," Lawrence, John, Robert), his wife. Judge Brooke was the brother of Dr. Lawrence Brooke, the celebrated surgeon of the Bon Homme Richard, commanded by John Paul Jones; another brother, Robert, was governor of Virginia. Judge Brooke had been previously married to Mary Randolph Spotswood, daughter of General Alexander Spotswood, whose wife was Elizabeth Washington, daughter of William Augustine Washington, the General's full brother, and Anne Aylett, his wife. The home of Judge Brooke was "St. Julian", near Massaponax creek, below Fredericksburg.

Judge Brooke stated in his reminiscences that Mr. Jefferson had declared that Mary Champe Carter was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, but that he (Brooke) thought her sister Nancy, "Wife of Governor Troup, of Georgia", was equally beautiful. Nancy Troup is the Ann Williams of the will, which means either that "Williams" was the middle name of Ann Carter, or that she was twice married.

Printed from Family Tree Maker, CD162Family History: Virginia Genealogies #I, Genealogies of Virginia Families I, A-Ch, Champe of Lambs Creek, Thornton, The Leaming Company, Inc., June 25, 2000
"Francis and his older twin John were appointed First Lieutenants in Gen. Harrison's First Continental Regiment of Artillery at the age of 16. They fought in the Virginia campaign. After the battle of Green Spring they were ordered south to join MGen. Nathaniel Greene in the Southern Department not returning to VA until Aug 1782 when they returned home to "Smithfield." The information on this family is from Brooke, Francis T., "A Narrative of My Life for My Family," in Some Prominent Virginia Families, 4 vols., Louise Pecquet du Bellet, Lynchburg, 1907; reprint ed., Baltimore: Clearfield Company, Inc., 1994, Vol 2."

"Here my uncle, Frank Brooke, made his home for many years, and my brother and I were ever most welcome guests. Aunt Brooke was a Miss Mary Carter, a beauty of Blenheim, in Albemarle County, and was the most exquisite of Virginia hostesses. Rarely have I enjoyed a table so dainty as hers, with its old blue India china, and handsome silver and
napery. Every dish had been the especial care of old Phyllis, the best cook on the Rapphannock. The walls of the parlor were covered by old-fashioned landscape paper, depicting the adventures and death of Captain Cook. Over the mantel hung a portrait of my great-grandfather, Mr. Richard Brooke, in his scarlet coat, buff waistcoat, and lace ruffles, and over the door the portrait of the beautiful Miss Fannie Carter, a famous belle of her day, who married Rosier Dulaney, kinsman of the Colonel Dick Dulaney, so well known and loved in Virginia, and so distinguished in the army of northern Virginia for his lofty bearing, gentle nature, and daring courage."
"When the enemy came to Saint Julian the old family portraits were all carried to Fredericksburg, and stowed in the post-office in the care of Mr. Reuben Thom. In the bombardment of the town they were destroyed."
"They were a very happy and united family, those Brookes of Saint Julian. In his youth Uncle Frank used to hunt foxes with General Spottswood, and it was after he came home from the Revolutionary war, where he had served on General Green's staff, that he married Mary Spottswood. He had been her neighbor and lover all his boyhood. After her death, he married Mary Carter. He became a great lawyer, and was for more than forty years on the Supreme Bench, -- the Court of Appeals of Virginia. Henry Clay read law in his office, and on his way to Congress used to stop at Saint Julian. Judge Brooke lived to be more than eighty years of age. He lies by his wife in the little graveyard on the hill above their home. The family are all scattered now or dead, and the dear old place has passed into other hands. It has become the property of Mr.Boulware, a very well known and respected Virginian. It is a comfort to me that gentle people are there, for it is the dearest place in all my boyhood's memories."
