of Accomac, Va., and formerly of Rotterdam, Holland. Custis was from Gloucestershire and the original Arlington stems from there.
Old Churches, Ministers, and Families of Virginia. Article XX. A friend on the Eastern Shore, whose delight is in searching its ancient records, has sent me a full account of the Custis family, which so abounds in that part of the State. Its name and blood are intermingled with those of most of the families of Northampton and Accomac, whether rich or poor. I give a brief statement of it. The name of John Custis first appears on the record in 1640. It is probable that he was the person of whom Colonel Norwood speaks, in his account of his voyage to America and shipwreck on the Eastern Shore in 1649, as having been a hotelkeeper in Rotterdam and a great favourite with English travellers. He had six sons and one daughter. The daughter married Colonel Argal Yeardley, son of Governor Yeardley, of Virginia. His sons were John, William, Joseph, who were in Virginia, Thomas, who was in Baltimore, (Ireland,) Robert, who resided in Rotterdam, and Edmund, who lived in London.

The family is of Irish descent. John appears to have taken the lead. He was an active, enterprising man, engaged in making salt on one of the islands; foremost in all civil and ecclesiastical matters; was, in 1676, during Bacon's Rebellion, appointed Major-General; a true royalist; a law-and-order man; a favourite of Lord Arlington in the time of Charles II., after whom he called his estate Arlington, on the Eastern Shore, which he received by his first wife.

His second wife was daughter of Colonel Edmund Scarborough. He died at an advanced age, after having been full of labours through life. He had only one son, whom he named John. This John Custis had numerous children, whose descendants, together with those of his uncle, William Custis, have filled the Eastern Shore with the name.

His son John, being the fourth of that name, after being educated in England, received from his grandfather the Arlington estate. He was the John Custis who moved to Williamsburg and married the daughter of Colonel Daniel Parke, and was the father of him whose widow married General Washington. His tomb is at the Arlington House, in Northampton, and its inscription one of the curiosities of the Eastern Shore. It is plainly to be inferred from it that he was not very happy in his matrimonial relations; for it says that he only lived seven years,--those seven which he spent as a bachelor at Arlington. His wife, it is to be feared, was too much like her brother, and unlike her father, both of whom were spoken of in one of our articles on Williamsburg.

I may also mention the fact of Major Custis, who lived some time in Williamsburg and married a daughter of Colonel Daniel Parke, presenting sets of heavy silver Communion-service to both the churches, upper and lower, of Northampton; and when the lower church was built, in 1680, near which was his residence, he promised to give the builder one hogshead of tobacco, or its equivalent, and thirty gallons of cider, to put up for him the first pew (the best, I suppose) in the church. Several other donations might be mentioned. Let these suffice.

"At the archaelogical site at the southern tip of the county is a 'dig' which has been covered over However, there are some things still in sight, according to the brochure I picked up yesterday in Eastville. That Custis was from Gloucestershire and the original Arlington stems from there. Two graves one of John I and the other John IV. If you are close enough to visit, before Route 13 gets to the bridge tunnel, off to the left is a road (I hope marked) which will take you to the site."
