New Flag


The Culpeper Minutemen was a militia group formed in 1775 in the district around Culpeper, Virginia. Like minutemen in other British colonies, the men drilled in military tactics and trained to respond to emergencies "at a minute's notice."

The Croswhite's were original colonist in Virgina. Some documents claim that they were even the first land owners. Female children in my family are eligible to be part of "Daughters of the Colonies." Timothy Croswhite even donated land to build the first courthouse in Virginia.
