[HEADING=1]"A Spy Comes to Onancock"[/HEADING]
Event by [Eastern Shore of Virginia Historical Society]('https://www.facebook.com/ESVHS/')
Historic Onancock School

During the Revolutionary War, James Armistead Lafayette infiltrated the British army as a servant for Lord Cornwallis. Nearly a decade later, the Virginia General Assembly granted the enslaved New Kent man his freedom in return for his courageous contribution.

More than 230 years later, you can meet him. Well almost. Stephen Seals, who interprets Lafayette, is one of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation’s Nation Builders, and he’s coming to the Shore to share the spy’s story.

Ker Place is the headquarters of the Eastern Shore of Virginia Historical Society, located in Onancock, Va.

Ker Place, a national and Virginia historical landmark built from 1799 to 1803 by John and Agnes Ker, has been dubbed the finest example of Federal-period, Georgian-style architecture on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
Today, the grand house is not only a museum with extensive archives and collections but also serves as the headquarters of the Eastern Shore of Virginia Historical Society. It also provides an elegant venue for your special occasion.

Being human is hard. Being human and allowing yourself to feel is even harder. Time and again, we are our own worst enemy. How do we keep ourselves soft without crumbling? How is it that we still have not learned that war is never the answer?

As I look around at all of the intricate relationships that weave and wend their way to form the ecosystem of my farm, I am reminded how we each and every one of us are connected to each other. To sever any one part is to cut ourselves off from an entire imagining of what that future might hold. To heal these broken bonds is to love and when we give ourselves over to love, we begin an awakening of sorts.

I don't pretend to hold answers or the keys to life. Quite honestly, I don't pretend to know anything at all, but this I do know: when you plant a seed today, you are imaging the lush universe of tomorrow. When you pour your love and attention into that seed, that animal, that cloud, that particular universe, you open a door to another, full of boundless possibilities. Or to put it a different way: you reap what you sow. So today I sow seeds for tomorrow, taking care that these are the stories I belong to, tangled and raw though they may be.

The magical tickle of hundreds of seedlings under my fingertips, the sun warm on my body, the rough sweet lick of my favorite cow, the familiar sound of the woodpecker who lives in the pine tree right outside my kitchen window, all stories that grab hold of me, reminding me who I am. What are your stories? What do you love and how will you tell them? And beneath it all, tangled up in war and love, a memory that we, each of us, are connected, whether or not we remember, despite man's best efforts to chop and sever, the forest always grows back, roots interwoven and stronger than ever before.

During the War of 1812, the Eastern Shore was the site of several skirmishes between the British and American forces. One skirmish happened on May 30, 1814.

Early in the morning, 11 British barges sailed into Pungoteague Creek and landed nearly 500 British troops. They were met by several Shoremen from the 2nd Regiment of the Accomack County Militia, and the Battle of Pungoteague began. The Shoremen tried to ambush the British but failed when one man fired his musket too soon. A bugle called from one of the barges, and the British began to retreat, afraid that reinforcements from the militia were on the way. The Battle of Pungoteague ended with six British soldiers killed or wounded and Ezor Kellam wounded on the side of the Shoremen. Both sides claimed victory even though the British retreated to their outpost on Tangier Island.

The British claiming victory is not surprising as several of the details of the Battle of Pungoteague differed depending on which side was telling the story. For example, Lt. Col. Thomas M. Bayly of the Accomack Militia credited the British with having nearly 500 troops, while Cpt. James Scott with the British Royal Navy said they had only 130. The British claimed to have killed several Americans while the militia only reported Kellam as wounded. The British perspective can be read in Cpt. Scott’s memoir here [=AT1_udgW2A0riV6SV7uFQ38nl22SptmHOsy7EcwsgYzJM0sPSeigdCmkclhptshiW0a5dF8cOEDKvKLDAZRWCTsUUSrfgpz3ZJ4ZK57PmzNOG8Y4a-QGNsXxWUHnsmpmKXnrpuI1OeKKjvZlbt50Y_n-UDtW4z1qzT2p4vyTdTnGBo0v_hay1kUY6_3fZdmcdkI_xl4hY-0cPdI']https://play.google.com/books/reader?id=gngCAAAAIAAJ...]('https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fplay.google.com%2Fbooks%2Freader%3Fid%3DgngCAAAAIAAJ%26pg%3DGBS.PA198%26hl%3Den%26fbclid%3DIwAR2xb_fB2FvZiX2echHalNr3e3coab1_YWhav6Go7Hd3kmQsSzReiOWg5r4&h=AT119fTphzAr-N8Fc41eQpg0PoCqIkNKezEt7X6eCep9QIbBa9XdU7EUwSbUVJMB8CW6w3IYVk8MCuWHO5Mv4kVPpUxdNrmUYCPu2jS4fRaqOEWBN3BqJe2aYL01bLJr3U7o&__tn__=-UK-R&c[0) , and the American perspective was published in the Richmond Enquirer on June 11, 1814, and is available here [=AT1_udgW2A0riV6SV7uFQ38nl22SptmHOsy7EcwsgYzJM0sPSeigdCmkclhptshiW0a5dF8cOEDKvKLDAZRWCTsUUSrfgpz3ZJ4ZK57PmzNOG8Y4a-QGNsXxWUHnsmpmKXnrpuI1OeKKjvZlbt50Y_n-UDtW4z1qzT2p4vyTdTnGBo0v_hay1kUY6_3fZdmcdkI_xl4hY-0cPdI']https://virginiachronicle.com/?a=d&d=EN18140615.1.1...]('https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fvirginiachronicle.com%2F%3Fa%3Dd%26d%3DEN18140615.1.1%26e%3D-------en-20--1--txt-txIN--------%26fbclid%3DIwAR1pqqiGaio6IuOO0MnUpa4K0mQh9geDGXwrDcHVvfED81d_pVvDqDefxiQ&h=AT2BCxviwcvwX7kEV2m3SyIj553ceqOoiDtDF1zrO9g6CpvuZPvj84N2DOcQ805MQqHRX5Mv0VL_6_HNx6l4w8I_Azy-XrR2rEdLoMfGRjNaIxkj3HtE69CBq3_9GFnjZpqc&__tn__=-UK-R&c[0) through the Library of Virginia.

Whether the number was 500 or 130, both sides agreed 30 of the British men were former enslaved men who had escaped to join the British side. The Colonial Marines, as they were called, at one point led the British march toward Pungoteague. British Admiral George Cockburn led raids along the Chesapeake Bay to liberate and recruit enslaved men for the British forces. His goal was to increase the size of the British forces and to make slave owners afraid of potential slave revolts.

Pictured: Shore History has two artifacts found near the sight of the Battle of Pungoteague: a piece of buckshot from the Accomack County Militia and the pieces of a botefeux used to light a cannon.
