About ten a clocke we came into a deepe Valley, full of brush, wood-gaile, and long grasse, through which were found little paths or tracts, and there we saw a Deere, and found Springs of fresh Water, of which we were hartily glad, and sat us downe and drunke our first New England Water, with as much delight as ever we drunke drinke in all our lives.
When we had refreshed ourselves, we directed our course full South, that wee might come to the shoare, which within a short while after we did, and there made a fire, that they in the Ship might see where we were (as wee had direction) and so marched on towards this supposed River: and as we went in another Valley, we found a fine cleere Pond of fresh water, being about a Musket shot broad, and twice as long: there grew also many small Vines, and Fowle and Deere haunted there; there grew much Sasafras: from thence we went on and found much plain ground about fiftie Acres, fit for the Plow, and some signes where the Indians had formerly planted their Corne: after this, some thought it best for nearnesse of the River to goe downe and travaile on the Sea sands, by which meanes some of our men were tired, and lagged behinde, so we stayed and gathered them up, and strucke into the Land againe; where we found a little path to certaine

Consider the matter of the sun being on the wrong side of the subject about half the time. Most tombstones face the west. Take pictures in the afternoon. Noon is standard time, in summer the sun will reach it's zenith at 1:00. Have a picnic and wait for the sun.
Take a tripod and a mirror. The first to steady the camera and the second to use to reflect sunlight onto the tombstone when the sun is not in the right place. The mirror should be about 2' x 4' to work well with all sizes of stones.
Gleason, Michael. Switch to Gregorian Calendar was Unpopular with Colonists, The Virginia Genealogical Society Newsletter, Vol. XVII, No. 3, May/June 1991.
The last thing Virginians needed in 1752, amid rumors of French & Indian raids along the Ohio River frontier, was a new calendar system that included a new New Year's Day. Still, that's what they got from the British Parliament.
Great Britain that year adopted the Gregorian calendar, eliminating 11 days and switching New Year's Day from March to January.
Case, Stephen. "On the Trail of Treason: Peggy Shippen's Amazing Story," American Ancestors, Fall 2012.
Was she the most dangerous young woman in American history? Peggy Shippen born in 1760 was the granddaughter of a Philadelphia mayor and belonged to one of the city's first families. At their fancy home, just around the corner from Independence Hall, her parents entertained George Washington as a dinner guest. At eighteen, Peggy Shippen married a crippled, war-hero widower twice her age. Together they embarked on a plot to destroy the American revolution . . . Peggy was Mrs. Benedict Arnold.
Documents made available in the 1920s proved conclusively that Peggy had been an active conspirator with her husband from the very start.
In 1776, at age sixteen, Peggy was a beguiling, charming star of the Philadelphia scene. When she was seventeen, the British invaded and occupied the city. Peggy developed a friendship with a particularly handsome and charming twenty-six-year-old British officer, John Andre.
When the British left Philadelphia, Benedict Arnold was appointed military commander of the city. Arnold's successful exploits at military engagements at Fort Ticonderoga, Quebec, Valcour Island and Saratoga place him, in my opinion, alongside Ulysses S. Grant, William T. Sherman and George S. Patton, Jr., as one of the most effective field commanders in American military history. Some might compare his tactical achievements with those of Robert E. Lee and Stonewell Jackson.
