","After spending two years surveying the area, Lewis approached the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors with the support of over 80 percent of the Goose Creek landowners to request historic designation. Many of the landowners belonged to families who had lived on the same land for nine generations or more.

","The goal of obtaining such designation was to preserve important historic buildings of cultural significance from commercialization or whims of future homeowners. After two and a half years of debating, compromising, and legal inquiries, the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors designated the Goose Creek area an historic district. With the designation, the Board of Supervisors set up a review board composed of two historians and three local homeowners who would approve construction of new buildings and changes to existing structures in order to preserve the historic integrity of the area.","Ashley Swartwout, 20 June 2014\n","None\n","There is one box with the correspondence of John Lewis, newspaper clippings dealing with the designation of Goose Creek as a historical district, and various documents regarding the designation of historical districts.\n","No physical characteristics affect use of this material.\n","There is one box with the correspondence of John Lewis, newspaper clippings dealing with the designation of Goose Creek as a historical district, and various documents regarding the designation of historical districts.\n","English\n"],"unitid_tesim":["M 100\n"],"normalized_title_ssm":["Goose Creek Historical and Cultural Conservation District Collection, \n1972-1981"],"collection_title_tesim":["Goose Creek Historical and Cultural Conservation District Collection, \n1972-1981"],"collection_ssim":["Goose Creek Historical and Cultural Conservation District Collection, \n1972-1981"],"repository_ssm":["Thomas Balch Library"],"repository_ssim":["Thomas Balch Library"],"creator_ssm":["John Lewis, Winchester, VA\n"],"creator_ssim":["John Lewis, Winchester, VA\n"],"acqinfo_ssim":["John Lewis, Winchester, VA\n"],"has_online_content_ssim":["false"],"physdesc_tesim":["."],"extent_ssm":[".15 cu. ft."],"extent_tesim":[".15 cu. ft."],"accessrestrict_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eCollection open for research.\n\u003c/p\u003e"],"accessrestrict_heading_ssm":["Access Restrictions\n"],"accessrestrict_tesim":["Collection open for research.\n"],"accruals_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e1991.0003X\n\u003c/p\u003e"],"accruals_heading_ssm":["Accruals\n"],"accruals_tesim":["1991.0003X\n"],"altformavail_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eNone\n\u003c/p\u003e"],"altformavail_heading_ssm":["Alternative Form Available\n"],"altformavail_tesim":["None\n"],"arrangement_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eBox: folder\n\u003c/p\u003e"],"arrangement_heading_ssm":["Arrangement\n"],"arrangement_tesim":["Box: folder\n"],"bibliography_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e\u003cbibref\u003eAncestry Library Edition, United States Obituary Collection, Thomas Balch Library, http://www.ancestrylibrary.com (accessed 20 June 2014).\n\u003c/bibref\u003e\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e\u003cbibref\u003eGoose Creek Historical and Cultural Conservation District Collection (M 100), Thomas Balch Library, Leesburg, VA.\u003c/bibref\u003e\u003c/p\u003e"],"bibliography_heading_ssm":["Bibliography\n"],"bibliography_tesim":["Ancestry Library Edition, United States Obituary Collection, Thomas Balch Library, http://www.ancestrylibrary.com (accessed 20 June 2014).\n","Goose Creek Historical and Cultural Conservation District Collection (M 100), Thomas Balch Library, Leesburg, VA."],"bioghist_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe Goose Creek Historical and Cultural Conservation District was established 7 February 1977 by the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors.

A sixteen square mile area south of the towns of Purcellville and Hamilton, the Goose Creek Historical and Cultural Conservation District is an area originally settled by Quakers in the 1700s. Many buildings in the area, such as the Quakers' Meeting House, pre-date the Civil War, and some pre-date the Revolutionary War.\n","The Goose Creek Historical and Cultural Conservation District was mainly the work of John Lewis (26 June 1930-14 April 2013), a local architectural historian employed by the Virginia Historic Landmarks Commission, who surveyed the land, made notes of the historic buildings, and working with the Lincoln Community League, fought the county government to get the Goose Creek area designated an historic district. ","After spending two years surveying the area, Lewis approached the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors with the support of over 80 percent of the Goose Creek landowners to request historic designation. Many of the landowners belonged to families who had lived on the same land for nine generations or more.

","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 collection consists of materials created or collected by\nCaptain George R. Head (1822-1894) of Leesburg, Virginia. The collection \nincludes family correspondence and papers, military correspondence and \nrecords, publications, currency and ephemera. The collection also contains \nartifacts including a canteen, haversack, holster, belt and buckles used by Head \nduring the American Civil War. A 2005 inventory of documents, typed \ntranscriptions of selected letters and documents in the collection, and research \nrelated to George R. 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. Janney (1821-1873), and Edward \nNichols (1847-1923). Family papers contain a handwritten funeral announcement \nfor Lydia Head (fl. 1775 -1832), paternal grandmother of George R. 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 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.

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. Two small leather coin purses are also in the collection. ","Physical characteristics and conditions affect use of this \nmaterial. Photocopying not permitted.

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.
