- Montezuma-J.P.Schermerhorn/Isaac O.Austin Home (113 KB)
This is the Old Schermerhorn/Austin Montezuma Farm passed down from potter John Poole Schermerhorn Sr, d. 1850
homestead on Mechanicsville Turnpike, Hwy. 360, two miles East of Richmond, Va. The family burial ground is in the left foreground between the home and the highway in a grove of trees. The home is c. 1825-30 and reportedly burned and was rebuilt to specs. at some time c. 1910.
Schermerhorn/Austin farm until 1880 when it was sold at auction to John B. Davis to settle debts. Davis. Was Thomas J. Stonewall Jackson's HQ during the Seven Days Campaign, July 9-15, 1862. Farm was advertised for sale in the 1860's during the War Between the States but could not be sold or was taken off market. Compliments to Robert E.L. Krick, Chief Historian, Richmond NBP/NPS , for the significance of the house in the WBTS. This house was between the middle and inner (star forts) defenses of the city of Richmond during the War. It was apparently just outside or near the tollgates to the Turnpike. A Schermerhorn ancestor was employed as Toll-Gate Collector according to census information (Wm. Francis Schermerhorn). Camp Schermerhorn, Henrico Co. was host to the Surry Light Artillery in March, 1864 on the Montezuma acreage on one side of the Mechanisville Pike (US 360). Montezuma subdiv. in Richmond got its name from this estate/property.

- Ft. Delaware-Pea Patch Isl-US Prison for CSA POW's (54 KB)
This fort in the Delaware River near Delaware City, Del. was one of the prisons used to house
CSA POW's. My first cousin three times removed,
2nd Lt. Samuel Horace Hawes, Richmond Howitzers/Williamsburg Arty./Orange Arty. Captured Spotsylvania C.H. "The Bloody Angle", May 1864, was one of the unfortunate Immortal 600, transferred from here to a position in front of friendly fire (read human shields) in Charleston Harbor, SC supposedly for retaliation purposes...he survived this use of Human Shields (none were killed by cannonading from Ft. Sumter)....he was eventually returned to Ft. Del. and was released near June 1, 1865. A great grand-uncle Sgt. Hugh Davis Smith (Crenshaw Artillery/Ellets/Walkers/Pegrams Battal.), briefly passed through Ft. Del. on his way to Point Lookout POW Camp in Maryland. He was exchanged Feb., 1865. He had been captured as part of a horse foraging party several days before Gettysburg along with his Captain, Ham Chamberlayne. Another great-granduncle, Clinton Drury Smith, (HDS's bro.)survived Gettysburg but was severely wounded at Jones House as part of Pegrams Battalion in the Petersburg/Appomattox Campaign. Another 2nd cousin 3 times removed, Major Jas. Horace Lacy, CSA of Chatham (now Fredericksburg/Spotsylvania NBP/NPS Headquarters) was imprisoned here briefly. Oddly enough I grew up less than ten miles from Ft. Del. as a child and knew nothing of the significance of this island to my family history. Also, I was born in Fredericksburg, Va and knew nothing of the significance of Chatham and Ellwood to my family story and relationship with the Lacy family that owned both of these during the WBTS.
