Webdoll,
My cousin,
Juanita G. Ellis (HHS
’61, VA), recently sent me the newsletter of the George Wythe
Society, Children of the American Revolution. It contained this photo of
the wreath-laying ceremony at
Berkeley
Plantation,
July 4, 2008. The musician shown at left is our own
Richard Dicky Dawes (NNHS / HHS ’62). Juanita said Dicky’s wife,
the late
Sharron Wanderer
Dawes (’61),
“was a very, very special person. We held
a D.A.R. Sunday afternoon tea in her home a few years back. She
collected a number of antiques and displayed them in a special building
on her property. She loved God, home, and country. After her passing
Richard attended most D.A.R. meetings as a HODAR (husband of D.A.R.).” |

Independence Day, Friday, July 4, 2008 Berkeley Plantation, VA |
Juanita (second from right) is Senior Society President and took part with her CAR charges in reenacting Colonial dress. Juanita was surprised when the keynote speaker, James City County Board of Supervisors Chairman Bruce C. Goodson (Va. Wesleyan ’79), quoted the account of Robert Beheathland’s journey from England to Jamestown in 1607 and his subsequent adventures with Capt. John Smith. Juanita was excited to realize Bruce was talking about her ancestor and quoting from my book, “Tree of Life,” the family genealogy published in 1995. Juanita excitedly spoke with Bruce after the ceremony and realized he was her second cousin, whom she had not seen in some 30 years.
Those in the picture include (front): CAR members Robyn Emery, Meredith Pons and Maddie Pons; (back row from left): Dicky Dawes; Melanie K. Platte, National Society, CAR; Jamie Jamieson, Berkeley Plantation owner; Bruce Goodson; Juanita Ellis; and Jackie Spangler, chaplain.

Thanks so much, Normie!
You
know how I do so love stories of that nature!
From http://www.spingola.com/TaliaferroTimes/TT24.htm:
Below is information excerpted from "Virginia Gleanings in England," Lothrop Witherington, The Genealogical Publishing Company, 1980.
WILL OF
John Beheathland. Will undated: proved 22 October 1639. About to go to my
mother in Virginia, hand having some small means coming to me from my
grandfather Mr. Richard Beheathland deceased, do leave all unto Charles
Beheathland, my kinsman, being my guardian. Witnesses: Pollider Pen, Samuell
Eslake, Thomas Voylet. Administration to Charles Beheathland, sold legatee
named. [Harvey, 157]
[This unusual surname was represented in Virginia at the time of the first settlement. Robert Beheathland, gentleman, came in the first ship which landed at Jamestown in 1607. During the period 1607-1609 his name appears frequently in 'Smith' as taking an active part in the affairs of the colony. In 1620 a petition was presented to the Royal Council for Virginia by many of the first personal adventurers and planters (who were ready to return if a favorable response was made) asking that some person of distinction be appointed Governor of Virginia to succeed Lord Delaware. among the signers was Captain Robert Beheathland.
In 1655 there was recorded a deed from Major John Smith and Beheathland his wife. John Smith was, as the records show, the assumed name of Francis Dade, who before his death took again his own name. No reason for this disguise has ever been discovered. Mrs. Behethland Dade married, secondly, Major Andrew Gilson and has many descendants by each marriage.]

As I came out of the supermarket that sunny day, pushing my cart of groceries towards my car, I saw an old man with the hood of his car up and a lady sitting inside the car, with the door open.
The old man was looking at the engine. I put my groceries away in my car and continued to watch the old gentleman from about twenty five feet away.
I saw a young man in his early twenties with a grocery bag in his arm, walking towards the old man. The old gentleman saw him coming too and took a few steps towards him. I saw the old gentleman point to his open hood and say something.
The young man put his grocery bag into what looked like a brand new Cadillac Escalade and then turn back to the old man and I heard him yell at the old gentleman saying, "You shouldn't even be allowed to drive a car at your age." And then with a wave of his hand, he got in his car and peeled rubber out of the parking lot.
I saw the old gentleman pull out his handkerchief and mop his brow as he went back to his car and again looked at the engine. He then went to his wife and spoke with her and appeared to tell her it would be okay.
I had seen enough and I approached the old man. He saw me coming and stood straight and as I got near him I said, "Looks like you're having a problem."
He smiled sheepishly and quietly nodded his head. I looked under the hood myself and knew that whatever the problem was, it was beyond me.
Looking around I saw a gas station up the road and told the old man that I would be right back. I drove to the station and went inside and saw three attendants working on cars. I approached one of them and related the problem the old man had with his car and offered to pay them if they could follow me back down and help him.
The old man had pushed the heavy car under the shade of a tree and appeared to be comforting his wife. When he saw us he straightened up and thanked me for my help. As the mechanics diagnosed the problem (overheated engine) I spoke with the old gentleman.
When I shook hands with him earlier he had noticed my Marine Corps ring and had commented about it, telling me that he had been a Marine too. I nodded and asked the usual question, "What outfit did you serve with?"
He had mentioned that he served with the first Marine Division at Tarawa, Saipan, Iwo Jima and Guadalcanal. He had hit all the big ones and retired from the Corps after the war was over.
As we talked we heard the car engine come on and saw the mechanics lower the hood. They came over to us as the old man reached for his wallet, but was stopped by me and I told him I would just put the bill on my AAA card.
He still reached for the wallet and handed me a card that I assumed had his name and address on it and I stuck it in my pocket. We all shook hands all around again and I said my goodbye's to his wife.
I then told the two mechanics that I would follow them back up to the station. Once at the station I told them that they had interrupted their own jobs to come along with me and help the old man. I said I wanted to pay for the help, but they refused to charge me.
One of them pulled out a card from his pocket looking exactly like the card the old man had given to me. Both of the men told me then, that they were Marine Corps Reserves. Once again we shook hands all around and as I was leaving, one of them told me I should look at the card the old man had given to me. I said I would and drove off.
For some reason I had gone about two blocks when I pulled over and took the card out of my pocket and looked at it for a long, long, time. The name of the old gentleman was on the card in golden leaf and under his name........"Congressional Medal of Honor Society."
I sat there motionless looking at the card and reading it over and over. I looked up from the card and smiled to no one but myself and marveled that on this day, four Marines had all come together, because one of us needed help. He was an old man all right, but it felt good to have stood next to greatness and courage and an honor to have been in his presence.
America is not at war. The U.S. Military is at war. America is at the Mall.
Thank you, Judy!
