Recorded by Marietta Crichlow, this book chronicles stories of some Glovers, Garlands, Stevens, Crichlows and others....beginning before the Civil War and tied to Nelson, amherst, and Appomattox Counties, and Lynchburg, Virginia; and continuing in the 20th century to Duquesne, Pennsylvania, and Washington, DC—notably LeDroit Park and Petworth. Marietta and family are descended from people who were enslaved by Wilmer McLean at Appomattox Court House. It was in Wilmer McLean’s home that Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ullysses S. Grant in 1865. Our ancestors were there. The stories herein tell some of the trails the family took over the ensuing years.
