REPORT.

m
ar oo
In compliance with an act of the general assembly appointing commissioners to enquire into, and ascertain the
losses sustained by the late inhabitants of the borough of Norfolk, we, Richard Kello, Joseph Prentis, Daniel Fisher
and Robert Andrews, four of the commissioners named in the said act, met in the borough of Norfolk on the 8th day

br R
of September last, and proceeded in the prosecution of the trust reposed in us by -adjournments 'till the 10th day of
October instant. The more effectually to answer the purpose of our appointment, we summoned divers persons to
give evidence touching the loss sustained by the inhabitants of the borough, the manner in which their losses hap-
pened, and if possible, /to discover the persons by whom the same were occasioned. We also called upon several

Li ial
workmen of reputation to measure and value the buildings which had been destroyed, and who were sworn to exe-

y
cute their office faithfully and impartially. In the choice of these persons we were attentive to their skill and cha-
racter, and were particularly careful to employ such only as, from a long acquaintance in the said borough, and their
having been employed in building, or repairing most of the houses therein, were best calculated to answer the purpose

r
of our enquiry, by making a fair and honest estimate of the value of the several buildings and improvements at the
bl mo
time they were destroyed. Nor were we unmindful of their political character, so far as it might lead them to exe-
cute their office without affection or prejudice. The reports of the workmen are contained in the vouchers numbered
from 1 to 216, in which are set down the number and value of the houses and improvements which were destroyed,
as well where the proprietors appeared, as where they were absent. These claims amount to the sum of £ 176,426. 1.
10. and are included in a schedule hereunto annexed as part of our report: this schedule also shews the time of the
destruction, and by whom they were destroyed, as far as it was in our power to ascertain these facts.
Pu e

In order to procure the best information possible, as to the time and manner of the destruction of the houses
within the said borough, and the suburbs thereof, we examined (upon oath,) divers witnesses, some of whom proved
lk t M

the burning of particular houses, others gave general information, so as to point out, with some degree of certainty,
ic
the time when, and by whom, the greater part of the buildings and improvements in said borough were destroyed.
The former of these depositions are filed in the particular claims they were intended to support; the latter being of
a general nature are annexed hereto, and upon examination will give great insight into the objects of our appoint-
ment ; they are numbered from 1 to 20. This part of our report relates to those houses, & c , which were destroyed
fo an

before the 15th January, 1776.

With respect to such as were destroyed in the month of February following, the depositions expressly prove the
burning of many; they likewise shew that others were standing but a few days before. We have also received much
information' from a copy of the valuation of those houses which were to be burnt as it is said by order of the honour-
able convention. Upon these three species of evidence, we have ventured to point out in positive terms, such pro-
or e

perty as we believe was destroyed at that time—evidence which we think (as well as the other which has been before
mentioned,) as competent as the nature of the case will permit. Let it be observed, however, that upon correcting
N rg

the several entries in the schedule by the valuation above mentioned, it appeared that some few buildings, (chiefly out
houses,) which we had presumed, from the general tenor of the evidence received, were burnt by the troops of the
state before 15th January, were not burnt until 6th February. This difference will be readily accounted for when it
Sa

is considered, that in such a calamity it was hardly possible for a bystander to determine whether all the buildings on
a lot were destroyed, though they might appear to be on fire; a few out houses might escape their observation, or be
included in a general description. We must in duty observe, that many of the claims which are admitted in the
schedule are not supported by any positive proof as to the precise day on which houses, & c , were burnt; but when
it is considered that great numbers of the inhabitants had left Norfolk before the time of its destruction ; that very
many of them have never yet returned ; and that the unhappy few who remained found sufficient employment in
saving their movable property and their lives, it may be safely asserted; that the proof is better than could have been
expected. Indeed great numbers of the inhabitants were only tenants, and having no interest in the house, were
little concerned to take notice by whom it was destroyed. Under these circumstances we are hopeful that the evidence
which proves the burning of the greater part of the houses invalmost every street, and the unremitting endeavours of
the soldiery to burn all that came in their way, will be deemed satisfactory. This observation, however, extends only
to those houses which are said to be destroyed from the first to the third of January, 1776.
The claims for personal property, whether plundered or destroyed, we have generally admitted upon the oath of
the proprietors ; it was hardly possible for a stranger, or indifferent person, to prove either the quantity or quality
thereof, especially of furniture; yet where other testimony could be had, we have required it, and have only admitted
the oath of the claimant, where no other evidence could be procured.
 16 [Doc. No. 4 3 . ]

Upon an inspection of the schedule, and the depositions which have been taken, it will appear that very few of
the houses were destroyed by the enemy, either from their cannonade or by the parties they landed on the wharves ;
indeed, the efforts of these latter were so feeble that we are induced to believe most of the houses which they did set
fire to might have been saved had a disposition of that kind prevailed among the soldiery, but they appear to have
had no such intentions; on the contrary, they most wantonly set fire to the greater part of the houses within the town,
where the enemy never attempted to approach, and where it would have been impossible for them to have penetrated.
Thus far we have endeavoured to explain and support the return which we make "of the losses sustained by the
late inhabitants of the borough of Norfolk." We come now to that part of our office which we must own was ex-

m
ceeding difficult and distressing. To enquire into the weaknesses and failings of our fellow-citizens, and by that dis-
covery to subject their fortunes to ruin, and their persons to contempt and detestation, was a task we could have
wished to avoid. In the course of this enquiry we were generally obliged to proceed ex parte. Most of those who

ar oo
are accused of being inimical to the rights and interests of America, were absent, and those few who were present
not knowing of the charge against them until the moment it was brought, were little prepared for defence.
We presume, however, that the information which may be obtained from the depositions on this point, will serve
rather as a ground for further enquiry, than a reason for censure. We beg leave to add, that the information we re-

br R
ceived from the general character of many among those, and the conduct which they have preserved on different oc-
casions, may make them appear as objects worthy of the favourable indulgence of the general assembly. Some of
them are weak and aged, and their fears of the enemy who were at hand, their desire to secure themselves, or pre-
serve their property for the benefit of their families, may have seduced them into a conduct for which they appear to

Li ial
be sincerely sorry. The depositions relative to this part of our enquiry, are distinguished by the letters A to R, in-

y
clusive.
To distinguish the manner and amount of the whole loss as set forth in the schedule, we are to note, that 32
houses valued at £1,948, and personal property to the amount of £180, were destroyed by lord Dunmore the 30th

r
November, 1775 ; that 19 houses valued at £1,616, and personal property to the amount of £1,305. 2. 6. were de-
bl mo
stroyed by the enemy the 1st January, 1776; that 3 houses valued at £ 1 1 4 were destroyed by the enemy on the 21st
January, 1776 ; that 863 houses valued at £110,807. 2. 0. and personal property to the amount of £ 8,085. 3. 5^.
were destroyed by the troops of the state before the 15th January, 1776, and 416 houses valued at £49,663. 6. If.
with personal property to the amount of £ 2,707. 7. 9. were destroyed by order of convention, in February 1776,
as will appear particularly set forth in the schedule to which we refer,

/Special Report on Claim No. 78.

Alexander Love claims to be allowed for -^th part of the new distillery near the town of Norfolk, burnt by the
troops of this state on the 1st January, as appears by the deposition of captain William Ivey: his right to the share in
or e

that concern is proved by the oath of Cornelius Calvert. By the estimate made by the persons appointed to value
the same, it appears the buildings and fixtures were worth £ 6,000; besides which, there was a very large quantity of
N rg

rum and molasses destroyed therewith, to the amount of some hundred hogsheads, and a good deal of molasses in
the cisterns, the value of which it was impossible for us to ascertain without further proof. From the deposition of
Cornelius Calvert it appears, that the whole stock of the company was valued at £ 10,000 at the time he tranferred
his share to Alexander Love, and he believes it to have been considerably increased since. The deposition of Charles
Sa

Cooper, (carpenter,) proves the number and dimensions of the cisterns used for holding molasses, as does the deposi-
tions of George Kelly and Cornelius Calvert, this said Love's attachment to the American cause. The allowance to
be made the claimant on this account is submitted to the house by

Special Report on Claim No. 85.

John Phripp's executors assert, that their testator was possessed before the burning of Norfolk of a considerable
sum of ready money; that being very old and infirm he was unable to remove without assistance, and that the greatest
part of his stock and household furniture were destroyed, at the time his house was burnt in January 1776, as will
 [Doc, No. 43.] 17
appear by the vouchers referred to in the schedule: that his infirmities and the confusion naturally attending his
situation occasioned the loss of part of the money aforementioned, amounting, as they have been constantly assured
by their testator until the time of his death, to £ 1,400. As the proof of this loss could not be made during our sitting,
and the executors aforesaid were desirous to have further enquiry made into the truth of their allegations, we have
thought it incumbent on us to make this state of their claim to the house, and submit the matter for their determination.

James Bushell claims to be allowed for 3 houses destroyed, value £114. It appears from the deposition of

by orders from the commanding officer, they were occupied by the troops of the state, as a post from which to annoy

the enemy's parties, who came on shore to water, which occasioned their being burnt by the enemy about the 21st
January, 1776. We beg leave to submit the propriety of this claim to the consideration of the house of delegates.

Alexander Love having claimed an allowance for ^ t h part of the new distillery near Norfolk, which was burnt
by the troops of the state on the 1st January, 1776, as will appear by the general depositions of captain Willis Wilson
and captain William Ivey, we directed that the ruins of the same should be measured and valued ; it appears by the re-
Sa

turn made to us, that the buildings and fixtures were worth £ 6,000, but it was not possible to determine on the
whole value of the subject destroyed, for want of evidence to prove the quantity of rum and molasses which were in
the house; we have good ground however to believe, that it amounted in the whole to some hundred hogsheads. We
must beg leave to observe, that this distillery stood at some distance below the town, not within the limits. The pro-
priety of this claim, and the mode which it may be necessary to adopt in order to ascertain the just value thereof,
we submit to this honourable house.

REPORT.

m
ar oo
In pursuance of an act of the general assembly, entitled, " an act for appointing commissioners to ascertain the
value of sundry houses, the property of Robert Tucker, and for other purposes," we, Willis Riddick, William Cow-
per, Miles King, Henry Riddick and Werlick Westwood, five of the commissioners appointed by the said act, met at
the town of Portsmouth on Monday, the 21st of September last past, and proceeded to the performance of the trust

br R
reposed in us. We first valued the loss sustained by such proprietors in the town of Portsmouth, whose houses were
burnt by the troops belonging to the state, and ascertained the damage sustained by those in the said town of Ports-
mouth, whose houses were made use of as barracks, and then adjourned to Norfolk to value the loss sustained by
those whose houses were burnt and remained unvalued by the former commissioners, as will appear by a schedule

Li ial
y
containing the estimates hereto annexed. And we, the above named commissioners, (except Mr. King, who was then
absent,) have laid off the town of Norfolk in the manner as will by this report appear. We then adjourned to the
town of Suffolk, and we, Willis Riddick, William Cowper, Henry Riddick, and John Driver, another commissioner,

r
met and proceeded to ascertain the damage sustained by those in the said town whose houses were made use of as
barracks by the troops of this state, which will likewise appear by the schedule hereto annexed. In order more effec-
bl mo
tually to execute the trust reposed in us, we took sundry depositions to found our opinion on, which are hereunto
subjoined, and appointed persons of integrity, who were well acquainted with the houses, to value the loss sustained
by those whose houses were burnt, and to ascertain the damage of those whose houses were made use of as barracks,
whose estimates we either approved or disapproved, or made such alterations as appeared just and reasonable, and
for the more perfect information of this honourable house, have subjoined them, and have grounded our valuation
Pu e

upon the old price of materials, and not upon the present enhanced value. We should have proceeded to value the
damage sustained by those whose houses were made use of as barracks at the Great Bridge in the county of Norfolk,
lk t M

but had not, from the time we undertook this business, sufficient opportunity to execute that part of our trust.
ic
The houses mentioned in the schedule as belonging to the estate of the reverend John Reade, deceased, are not
within the bounds of Suffolk, though they were made use of as barracks by the troops stationed at that place, and
being in the same predicament with the houses at Suffolk, we thought it just and reasonable the damage they sus-
tained should be ascertained. As to the valuation of the property of Robert Tucker, in the town of Norfolk, your
commissioners beg leave to refer this honourable house to the schedule of the former commissioners, and likewise to
fo an

the deposition of John Browness, by us taken, proving in what manner the houses of the said Robert Tucker, near
Town Point, were destroyed. As to the mills and houses of his on Wind Mill Point, we have ascertained the value,
as will by the schedule appear. The houses belonging to Henry Cornick, which were valued by the former com-
missioners, it will appear by the deposition of Thomas Gait, were burnt at the last burning of Norfolk, which was
or e

said to be in pursuance of an order of the honourable the convention.

We of the commissioners who laid off the town of Norfolk, have laid it off in the following manner, to wit:
N rg

that the Main street running from the eastern bounds of the town to Town Point, be extended ten feet beyond its
present breadth, by widening it five feet on each side, and that it be continued in a direct course until it intersects
Church street, and from thence to the west end of the town to the Town Point, according to its present courses ; that
Church street be extended from the most southern corner of the church yard, to the outer bounds of the town in a
Sa

direct line; and that it begin at the same station, and run in a direct line across the Main street, and through the land
of captain Paul Loyall, until it intersects the division line between the said Loyall and Samuel Willoughby; and from
thence to be continued along the division line of the said Loyall and Willoughby, unto the river; and that the said
Church street be seventy feet wide, and that the width be extended from the church wall eastwardly, so that the width
may be taken off from the eastern side of the street; that the street from the county wharf, between the lands of Mr.
Matthew Phripp and Mr. Thomas Newton, be opened the full width of the former street to Back creek; that Catha-
rine street be made sixty feet wide, taking an equal number of feet from each side, and that it run in a direct line
from Free Mason street, through the land of Andrew Sprowl, deceased, to the creek, and be continued in a direct
line to the northern end of it.
The reasons which induced us not to lay off the town upon a more general plan, are these, to wit: that it was
in general very disagreeable to the proprietors, and from the great changes of property that must necessarily ensue,
would cause great confusion and much dissatisfaction, and consequently would greatly retard the rebuilding, and
there would unavoidably be done great injustice to many of the proprietors by placing their lots in a worse situation
than they are now in. The plan proposed, though not a general one, yet in our opinion, will contribute much to the
regularity of the town, and will give more satisfaction than any other we could adopt. We would have subjoined
 20 [Doc. No. 43.]
a plan, but had it not in our power while executing the business to procure a surveyor, but in order that a plan might
be taken, gave directions to the person we employed as clerk, to obtain one on the terms mentioned in the law under
which we acted. "We who laid off the town would have ascertained the value of the lands taken for making new
streets, but declined it, as we could not do it with accuracy for want of a surveyor, for which reason that part of our
trust is unperformed.

Given under our hands this 1st day of October, 1778.
