"ALEXANDER SPOTSWOOD, Lieutenant-Governor and Commander-In-Chief
of the Colony of Virginia, 1710-1723, one of the first British
colonial governors of North America to appreciate the economic
value of the Western Frontier. He held the rank of Major
General.
Born on an English man-of-warship, Spotswood had been bred in
the army, and was Aid-de-Camp to the Duke of Marlborough. He was
badly wounded in the breast in the battle of Blenheim. After
service under the 1st Duke of Marlborough in the War of the
Spanish Succession (1701-14), he was appointed Lieutenant
Governor of Virginia, on June 23, 1710.
His arrival in Virginia was greeted with joy, because he brought
with him the right of HabeasCorpus -- a right guaranteed to
every Englishman by the Magna Charta but hitherto denied to
Virginians. When Spotswood entered upon his duties, as Governor,
he agreed with the dominant doctrines ofhis day, and was a
strenuous advocate of the Royal perogatives in Church and State,
he was also one of the most energetic, patriotic and farseeing
statesmen that ever governed Virginia.
Spotswood recommended the establishment of a Virginia Company to
carry on trade with the Indians and urged the construction of a
chain of forts from the Great Lakes to the Mississippi (beyond
the Alleghenies) to stop the encroachments of the French; but
many years elapsed before his suggestions and policy's were
adopted. It was also he whoconceived the idea of making tobacco
notes a circulating medium. His military genius and experience
enabled him to use the militia with great effect against the
hostile Indians. However, he was equally zealous in the efforts
to civilize the Indiansand convert them to Christianity as the
Indians attended the Indian school he established at Christianna
on the Meherin river and by a fund of 1000 lbs. for instructing
Indian children at William and Mary College.
He personally organized and conducted in 1716 an exploring
expedition into the Shenandoah Valley. He formed the "Knights of
the Golden Horseshoe" for all of those who explored with him the
Virginia and North Carolina borders.
After his term as governor ended (September 1722), he remained
in Virginia, living near the ironworks he had established in
Germanna, a settlement of Germans in Spotsylvania County (named
in his honor). From 1730 to 1739 he served as deputy postmaster
general of the colonies.
As a Major-General in British Army he was appointed to head the
expedition to Carthegenis in 1740. He died at Annapolis that
year when he was about to embark for the campaign against
Cartagena. His remains were carried by water to Temple Farm at
York near Yorktown and deposited at this, his favorite
residence, in the tomb or temple which he had built and in which
other worthies were also buried. It may be said, that there is
not on all of the York River a more picturesque spot than Temple
Farm. It was in the Temple Farm mansion that Lord Cornwallis met
Washington and signed the articles of capitulation which secured
American independence."
