Fragmented 19th century paper finds and stories in Virginia house recall
A torn newspaper fragment recounts markets for flour and pork, a critique of plain dress by Quaker women, and a pension petition from 1745. It also notes a Swearing Doctor anecdote and a society column about Englehart Weiser’s marriage. A Baytown man, Odom, preserved an old paper found in a Virginia house, tracing subsidence in Tab Bay causeway and memories from Busch Landing. He shares family ties and a search for Mexican gold near David G. Burnet’s site.
