The building subsequently served as a tenant house and, eventually, a gift shop in the 1960s before being vacant for many years. The house, and the tract of land on which it stood, changed hands many times. By the 1960s, the house and land belonged to the Hamblet family. They donated the house to Loudoun County in 1968 to be used as a tourist information center, but the Board of Supervisors returned it in 1971 because of concerns about cost and transportation. \n","On 28 March 1996, William Randall Hamblet, Susan Swink Hamblet, his wife, Susan Harper Hamblet, and Matthew Lewis Hamblet signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Board of Supervisors of Loudoun County. The memorandum conveyed a parcel containing the Stone House to the County of Loudoun. The gift stipulated that the building and its immediate surroundings be used as a \"park housing a museum and/or tourist information center.\" The building was to be moved to another parcel, also owned by the donors, at no expense to the donors and this was accomplished. ","Joan Rokus, a former Loudoun County supervisor, became interested in preserving the building when the development of the Harper Park subdivision threatened the building's survival. She helped found Friends of the Stone House at Harper Park in 1996. In 1998, the Virginia State Corporation Commission issued a charter and the group adopted bylaws. The stated purpose of the organization was to support the reconstruction, occupancy, maintenance and preservation of the historic structure known as the Stone House at Harper Park. The organization achieved 501c3 status in May of 2004 which enabled it to receive tax exempt donations. ","Rokus was the guiding force and first president of the board of Friends of the Stone House at Harper Park. The board worked closely with the county through the staff of the Department of Parks and Recreation. Plans for the restoration of the Stone House were drawn by John Milner Associates, Inc. of Alexandria, Virginia in 2001. Friends of the Stone House at Harper Park sought funding from various organizations, and in 2004 it was awarded $100,000 in federal funding through the Transportation Equity Act for the Twenty-First Century. There were also smaller grants from other organizations such as the Loudoun Restoration and Preservation Society and from businesses and individuals.  ","Despite these grants the board of the Friends of the Stone House realized that the funds were not going to be sufficient to complete the restoration work and make the house usable for the purpose designated in the deed of gift by the date set by the donors.  The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors was also becoming concerned about the mounting costs.  After considerable correspondence with the donors it was decided to give the property back to them. The remaining money was given to several historical and preservation societies in the county. ","The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors held a public hearing on November 13, 2007 to consider conveying the property to the donors. A letter in box 1, folder 13 indicates that the property was conveyed back to the family on that date. However, the final disbursement of the organization's funds did not take place until 2009 as noted in the agenda for a meeting of the \"Friends, Advisors, and guests.\" The date of this meeting was not given but the agenda was sent, apparently by e-mail, on April 19, 2009.","None\n","Teckla H.

","Wallace, Lee A. 1990. 17th Virginia Infantry. ","George R. Head (1822-1894) was a prominent political, business, and military\nleader of Leesburg, Virginia. The son of George Head (1783-1870) and Mary \nGover Head (1785-1823), he was one of six children from this marriage. After \nHead's mother's death in 1823, his father married Hannah J. Gover (1799-after \n1870). Both Head and his father served in the 57th Regiment of the VA Militia. In \n1848, Head married Sarah Virginia Gover (1823-before 1878), and the couple \nhad six children, four who survived to adulthood: Ann 'Nannie' Head (1849-\nafter 1880), William Head (1852 - 1892), Rosellar Head Johnson (1853 - 1885), \nand Susan Virginia Head (1855 - 1912). He was a member of the Methodist \nEpiscopal Church. Active in public life, Head served as a Justice of the Peace \nand as a member of the Leesburg Town Council beginning in 1858. He also \nestablished himself in business as a whitesmith or tinsmith, producing a number \nof goods including guns. In March 1861, he placed an advertisement in The \nMirror announcing that he had just received \"a fine lot of Colt's Revolvers which \nwill be sold at reduced prices.\"\n","Upon the occurrence of John Brown's raid of the government armory and arsenal\nat Harpers Ferry on 16 October 1869, Charles B. Tebbs, among many others in \nLoudoun County, participated in raising a volunteer company 'The Loudoun \nGuard' for the protection of the border. This company, ostensibly attached to the \n57th Regiment (Loudoun County), Virginia Militia, was accepted into state service \nat Leesburg on 22 April 1861, under the command of Captain Tebbs. Head \nserved as First Lieutenant. On 24 April 1861, the Loudoun Guard was ordered to \nproceed to Alexandria, Virginia, where it was officially mustered into service on \n23 May 1861, by Major George W. Brent (1821-1872) as part of the newly \norganized 17th Regiment Virginia Infantry. The next day the Loudoun Guard was \nsent to Manassas Junction and nearby Camp Pickens, where Captain Tebbs \nremained in command of the Loudoun Guard until June when he was promoted \nto Lieutenant Colonel and reassigned to the 8th Virginia Regiment. On June 29, \n1861, Head was appointed Captain of Company C of the 17th Virginia Infantry \nRegiment, one of ten companies in the newly formed unit. ","As Captain, Head oversaw daily duty rosters, correspondence, and requisition\nrecords for Company C dating between 1861 and April 1862. He also managed \npayroll, funds, and supplies for the company. He was noted for his actions on 18 \nJuly 1861 at Blackburn's Ford just before the First Battle of Manassas. In his \nreport of the action Colonel Montgomery D. Course noted \"gallant conduct\" of \nHead and four other officers \"who were actively and fearlessly employed during \nthe engagement\" where \"the fire was hottest.\" After this engagement the 17th \nVirginia was stationed at Camp Harrison near Fairfax Courthouse. The Regiment \nwas reorganized at Yorktown, Virginia in April 1862 during the Siege of \nYorktown. On 23 April 1862, Head narrowly avoided being struck by an exploding \nshell whole on duty at Dam Number 4. There is no record of Head incurring an \ninjury during this incident. On 28 April 1862, Head was re-elected Captain of \nCompany C, but resigned his commission shortly after his election.","In September of 1862 he was recommended for an appointment to the \nOrdinance Department. Created by the General Assembly of Virginia on 25 \nJanuary 1861, the Virginia Ordinance Department was leased to the Confederate \nGovernment and took charge of maintaining the Richmond Armory and \nmanufacturing arms for the war effort. Head served the Ordinance Department in \nLynchburg and at the Virginia Armory in Richmond until the end of the War. In \nJanuary 1864 Head was sent to Lynchburg to investigate issues with the \nmanufacture of \"Williams Guns\", a breech loading rapid fire canon first deployed \nby the Confederacy at the Battle of Seven Pines on 31 May 1862. Head \nconfirmed the guns were defective. ","Following the end of the Civil War, Head returned to Leesburg and established a \nbusiness manufacturing stoves. He continued to be active in politics, serving as \na Magistrate for the 8th District in 1868, as Mayor of Leesburg from 1869-1884 \nand as a Town Councilman for more than 40 years. Head was an active \nDemocrat, and was Chairman of the Loudoun County Democratic Committee \nfrom 1892-1894. He was regularly nominated as a candidate for the House of \nDelegates, winning elections in 1879 and 1890. In 1885 and 1886 he was \nappointed to serve as Leesburg's Postmaster by President Grover Cleveland \n(1837-1908). Head was active in the Clinton Hatcher Camp of Confederate \nVeterans and in fraternal organizations. He was a Mason and was elected as a \nGrandmaster of the Oddfellows in 1869. His death was recorded in the 1 \nFebruary 1894 edition of The Mirror with an obituary entitled \"A Valuable Citizen \nPasses Away.\" Head is buried in Union Cemetery.

Head's confederate military service accompanies the \ncollection. ","Family correspondence and papers are arranged chronologically and date from \n1847-1897. Correspondence includes letters to and from family members and \nfrom Head's fellow Odd Fellows and Masonic Lodge members. Of note are \nletters sent by Head to his wife Sarah Gover Head during June and July of 1862. \nOther Loudoun county correspondents include George Head's brother Reverend \nNelson Head (1811 -1902), George W.

Head and \nepitaphs drafted for his wife Sarah Virginia Gover and for her father, Samuel \nGover, Jr. (1795-1875). ","The bulk of the collection relates to Head's military service, first with the 57th \nRegiment, Virginia Militia, at the outset of the Civil War as 1st Lieutenant in the \nLoudoun Guard and later as Captain of Company C, of the Virginia 17th Infantry \nRegiment. Included are daily rosters, correspondence, and requisition records \nfor the Company C dating between 1861 and April 1862 when Head resigned his \ncommission. In September of 1862 he was recommended for an appointment to \nthe Ordinance Department. Correspondence and records from Head's Ordinance \nDepartment service are included in the collection. Letters relating to the Head's \ninvestigation of inherent problems with Williams Guns are of particular note. \nOther Civil War era materials include pamphlets, currency, and other ephemera \nsuch as postal covers. Artifacts in the collection also relate to Head's military \nservice. Included are a canteen, haversack, holster, belt, belt buckles, and five \nbuttons used or worn by Head during the American Civil War. The canteen is \nparticularly unique. The design is similar to other tin drum canteens issued by the \nConfederacy in 1861; however, Head's canteen features a hand-drawn image of \nthe seal of Virginia including the motto Sic Semper Tyrannis and the figures of \nVirtus and Tyrannus.

His father was a storekeeper and businessman with stores in Hamilton and Evansville (in what is now West Virginia). Janney joined his father in business, and in the 1840s they began businesses in Gainsboro, VA, Wardensville, VA (now WV), and Berlin (now Brunswick), Maryland. Janney traded in agricultural products, such as guano, farm implements, and seed, as well as dry goods like fabric, household items, and hardware. He bought much of his supply of goods from merchants in Baltimore, and spent considerable time there.\n","He married Mary Compher (1822-1913), from the Lovettsville area, on 31 December 1844. He had been courting her for some time, but Mary's mother did not approve of the match and the couple eloped to Frederick, MD. The Janneys had seven children, including John Compher Janney (1851-1880) who became a treasurer of the town of Hamilton. ","Janney's father died in 1850, leaving him to administer his estate and take over operations of all the businesses. Janney appears to have sold his father's interest in the Evansville store, but continued to maintain the Hamilton store. His family moved house with some regularity, living in Hamilton, Barry (MD), Berlin (MD), and Baltimore (MD). In the 1850s he served as an officer in the Loudoun and Berlin Bridge Company; Janney was appointed postmaster of Barry, MD in 1851 and Hamilton in 1859. ","He did not serve in the Civil War, but his sympathies were with the Confederacy. When the Confederate government reappointed postmasters in Loudoun County, Janney kept his position in Hamilton. He did occasionally own slaves, but they usually came to his household as part of a business transaction with someone liquidating his estate or paying debts to Janney, who would then sell them quickly. Janney regularly hired slaves from nearby farms when he needed labor or household help. Despite his known sympathies and trade with the Confederate forces, Janney was able to secure passes from the US Provost Marshal to cross the Potomac River at Point of Rocks, MD, and engaged in trade with the US Army. In 1863 he signed an oath of allegiance to the United States, which he reaffirmed at the conclusion of the Civil War.","After the Civil War, Janney's business ventures saw continued success. He began working with partners in many of his stores. The store in Hamilton was known as Janney \u0026 Slaymaker as well as VanDevanter \u0026 Janney; a business in Baltimore was known first as Ridenour, Janney \u0026 Co., then Janney, Jordan \u0026 Co. He invested in a real estate venture in Pana, Illinois. Janney was an active member of the International Order of Odd Fellows and a founding member of the Hamilton-Thompson Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons. At their organizational meeting on 5 May 1868, Janney was appointed \"Worshipful Master.\"","Janney died unexpectedly, after a short illness, while in Baltimore on 26 October 1873. His wife, Mary, lived until 1913. They are both buried in Union Cemetery in Leesburg.","None\n","Donna Jamison and Elizabeth E.

His father was a storekeeper and businessman with stores in Hamilton and Evansville (in what is now West Virginia). Janney joined his father in business, and in the 1840s they began businesses in Gainsboro, VA, Wardensville, VA (now WV), and Berlin (now Brunswick), Maryland. Janney traded in agricultural products, such as guano, farm implements, and seed, as well as dry goods like fabric, household items, and hardware. He bought much of his supply of goods from merchants in Baltimore, and spent considerable time there.\n","He married Mary Compher (1822-1913), from the Lovettsville area, on 31 December 1844. He had been courting her for some time, but Mary's mother did not approve of the match and the couple eloped to Frederick, MD. The Janneys had seven children, including John Compher Janney (1851-1880) who became a treasurer of the town of Hamilton. ","Janney's father died in 1850, leaving him to administer his estate and take over operations of all the businesses. Janney appears to have sold his father's interest in the Evansville store, but continued to maintain the Hamilton store. His family moved house with some regularity, living in Hamilton, Barry (MD), Berlin (MD), and Baltimore (MD). In the 1850s he served as an officer in the Loudoun and Berlin Bridge Company; Janney was appointed postmaster of Barry, MD in 1851 and Hamilton in 1859. ","He did not serve in the Civil War, but his sympathies were with the Confederacy. When the Confederate government reappointed postmasters in Loudoun County, Janney kept his position in Hamilton. He did occasionally own slaves, but they usually came to his household as part of a business transaction with someone liquidating his estate or paying debts to Janney, who would then sell them quickly. Janney regularly hired slaves from nearby farms when he needed labor or household help. Despite his known sympathies and trade with the Confederate forces, Janney was able to secure passes from the US Provost Marshal to cross the Potomac River at Point of Rocks, MD, and engaged in trade with the US Army. In 1863 he signed an oath of allegiance to the United States, which he reaffirmed at the conclusion of the Civil War.","After the Civil War, Janney's business ventures saw continued success. He began working with partners in many of his stores. The store in Hamilton was known as Janney \u0026 Slaymaker as well as VanDevanter \u0026 Janney; a business in Baltimore was known first as Ridenour, Janney \u0026 Co., then Janney, Jordan \u0026 Co. He invested in a real estate venture in Pana, Illinois. Janney was an active member of the International Order of Odd Fellows and a founding member of the Hamilton-Thompson Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons. At their organizational meeting on 5 May 1868, Janney was appointed \"Worshipful Master.\"","Janney died unexpectedly, after a short illness, while in Baltimore on 26 October 1873. His wife, Mary, lived until 1913. They are both buried in Union Cemetery in Leesburg.","None\n","Donna Jamison and Elizabeth E.
