den (1741-1826), who in 1776 was a merchant at Portsmouth in Virginia. Supporting the loyalist cause, his property in Virginia was sequestered, like that of his father-in-law. He removed to Bermuda and subsequently to New York, where he resumed business. When the British evacuated New York, he removed to London, where he established a commercial house "of the highest respectability," and prospered. He died in 1826 and is buried in Paulerspury Church, where there is a monument to him with an elaborate inscription. See Sabine Loyalists, II, 294.

Venable died in 1838. So his life was spent half in the eighteenth century-he gives the year of his birth, 1763. He was the son of Nathaniel Venable, of Prince Edward County, merchant, a man eminent for character and sound sense, both of which have been found in many of his descendants. Richard N. Venable was educated at Hampden-Sidney College (then an academy), graduated at Princeton in 1782, studied law at William and Mary, and after a few years of active practice, settled down in Prince Edward County, more as a man of plantation affairs, perhaps, than as a lawyer. He served several terms in the Legislature, and was a member of the Convention of 1829. From 1792 until his death he was a trustee and supporter of HampdenSidney College. Mr. Venable, throughout his career, was interested in internal improvements-by river, canal, and railway. These few extracts from a lawyer's diary will throw some light upon the number of lawyers in our Legislatures. The lawyer knew the country up and down, and represented it as a matter of course. That was a very pleasant life in some respects, moving on from court to court, and putting up so often at the houses of good friends. The MSS of this diary is owned by Miss Addie C. Venable, of Hampden Sidney, Va. A. J. MORRISON.] Jan. 22, 1791. Went to Henry Court 65 miles, from then to Franklin C. H. 37 miles, returned by Sam Calland's to Peytonsburg, 55 miles, from there to Prince Edward 60 miles and returned to Peytonsburg 11 February. Wednesday 16 February 1791. My birthday. 28 years old. Now living with John Wimbish at Peytonsburg in Pittsylvania. 3 March 1791. Thomas Arthur came on the bench [at Franklin Court], the rest of the court immediately ran off, and left Arthur sitting like an owl on a chicken roost. Arthur left the bench and we proceeded to business. |
