It c o n s i s t s of about t e n thousand a c r e s of f e r t i l e farmland located between Hogback Mountain t o t h e e a s t and Black Oak Ridge t o the west. More s p e c i f i c a l l y , t h e d i s t r i c t i s loca ted south of t h e town l i m i t s of Hamilton and P u r c e l l v i l l e , nor th of t h e North Fork of Goose Creek, west of t h e sununit of Hogback Mountain, and e a s t of t h e c o m u n i t i e s of Guinea Bridge and Telegraph Spring. Natural elements such a s Goose Creek and Hogback Mountain serve a s boundaries to t h e south and eas t . Man-made elements such ' a s town limits and highways serve a s boundaries t o t h e nor th and west.

This region is predominantly r u r a l . It cons i s t s of a number of small farms sca t - t e r e d throughout t h e a rea with a few small communities usua l ly located a t various cross-roads.

Besides t h e town of Lincoln and i ts environs, most of t h e o t h e r population cen te r s a r e loca ted along t h e boundaries of t h e d i s t r i c t . To t h e southeas t , t he re is t h e small com-munity of M t . Gilead wi th a s t r i n g o f residences along rou tes 797 and 662.

land bordering the North Fork of Goose Creek by Isaac Nichols about 1750. This l a r g e s tone house, with l a t e r 18th-century add i t ions , was only r ecen t ly destroyed by f i r e . For many years t h e only m i n i s t e r of t h e Goose Creek Meeting of Friends was Hannah Janney. "Hannah Janney was a s a i n t l y woman and was noted no t only f o r he r high Chr i s t i an character but a l s o f o r he r energy and f i n e common sense. Un t i l t h e time of he r death a t t h e age o f 93 she was by f a r t h e outs tanding f i g u r e of h e r community. " 2

For many years t h e Friends met a t d i f f e r e n t loca t ions i n the community. En t r i e s from t h e minutes of t h e Goose Creek Meeting of Friends s t a t e "meeting formerly held a t Sarah Walker's discontinued and now he ld a t Jacob Janney's." Another en t ry reads , "Tenth day, e igh th month, 1751, meeting he ld f o r t h e winter a t I saac ~ i c h o l ' s . " 3

A log meetinghouse was erec ted i n Lincoln about 1750, t h e first cen t ra l i zed meetinghouse i n t h e area . By 1757, t h e year i n which Loudoun County was formed from Fa i r f ax County, t h e l a r g e number o f members of t h e Goose Creek Meeting forced t h e community l eade r s t o b u i l d a l a r g e r meetinghouse.. On September 21, 1757, William Hatcher so ld land near t h e l o g meetinghouse t o t h e Quaker t r u s t e e s " i n t r u s t t o s u f f e r and permit such of t h e people c a l l e d Quakers inhab i t ing (Loudoun County) t o e r e c t and b u i l d so many Meeting Hous- e s , School-Houses, Yards o r Places of Bur ia l - as they see f i t - f o r t h e worship o f God, t h e i n s t r u c t i o n of youth and b u r i a l of the dead."4 A stone meetinghouse (53-80) was b u i l t on t h i s land between 1765 and 1770. Throughout t h e l a t e 18th century, Quaker membership increased u n t i l once again a l a r g e r meetinghouse was needed. This time, i n 1817, a b r i c k s t r u c t u r e (53-118) was e r e c t e d a c r o s s t h e road from t h e o ld s tone meetinghouse. This s t r u c t u r e continues t o s e r v e t h e needs of t h e present-day Friends i n t h e Lincoln area .

The a r e a centered around Goose Creek (Lincoln) continued t o grow during the l a t t e r ha l f of t h e 18th century . The f e r t i l e land was divided i n t o small farms of a few hundred acres . Wheat, ba r l ey , and o t h e r g ra ins were t h e p r i n c i p a l crops. The e a r l y s e t t l e r s usu- a l l y b u i l t small one-and-a-half-story s tone o r l o g dwellings. Many o f these ea r ly houses a r e s t i l l standing; most were incorporated i n t o l a t e r houses o r served a s the o r i g i n a l bu i ld ing i n a chain of subsequent add i t ions .

These add i t ions were commonly b u i l t a s the f ami l i e s grew i n s i z e and p rospe r i ty . Stone remained t h e most popular bu i ld ing ma te r i a l because of i t s a v a i l a b i l i t y ; however, b r i c k was used more i n t h e l a t e 18 th and e a r l y 19 th cen tu r i e s .

For t h e most p a r t , roads which have been paved and improved serve a s boundaries of the Goose Creek His to r i c D i s -t r i c t .

Besides t h e i r s i m i l a r a g r i c u l t u r a l pursu i t s , farm proximity, and ease o f com.unica-t i o n , t h e Quakers were made a more c lose-kni t community by t h e adherence t o t h e i r s t r i c t r e l i g i o u s f a i t h and p r i n c i p l e s . "!l'he Quakers of Loudoun have a t a l l time remained f a i t h - f u l adherents of t h e creed, t h e i r pecul iar cha rac te r , manners, and t e n e t s d i f f e r i n g t o no considerable ex ten t from those of o the r l i k e colonies , wherever implanted."5 They tended t o form a compact s o c i e t y , segregated from neighboring se t t lements . "They were f ruga l , indus t r ious , f a r b e t t e r farmers than t h e i r Virgin ia neighbors (and) they l ived i n concord and mutual r e s p e c t (with each o the r ) ."6

Their "creed" is r e f l e c t e d i n t h e reasons recorded f o r e s t ab l i sh ing a Friends Meet- ing a t Goose Creek: "Ye o b j e c t s of Religious a s soc ia t ion a r e t o s trengthen ye bonds of love, t o encourage t o good works, t o support ye weak, to comfort ye mourners, t o watch over one another f o r good and t o reclaim those who have gone as t ray ."7

The Quakers were devoted p a c i f i s t s . During t h e period preceding the Revolution, important o f f i c e s had been bestowed on them and they exercised a decided inf luence i n t h e government of t h e county; however, a t the approach of t h e war, they withdrew p a r t i - c i p a t i o n i n publ ic a f f a i r s and refused t o perform m i l i t a r y duty o r pay taxes t o support the c o n f l i c t . Kercheval w r i t e s i n the History of t h e Shenandoah Valley:

A t the beginning of t h e war, attempts were made t o compel them t o bear arms and serve i n the m i l i t i a ; but it was soon found unavai l ing . They would not perform any m i l i t a r y duty requi red of them, no t even t h e scourge would compel them t o submit t o d i s c i p l i n e . The p r a c t i c e of coercion was there-f o r e abandoned, and t h e l e g i s l a t u r e enacted a law to levy a tax upon t h e i r proper ty , t o h i r e s u b s t i t u t e s t o perform m i l + i r i i duty i n t h e i r stead.'

During t h e C i v i l War, most of t h e Friends i n t h e Goose Creek a rea remained stead- f a s t l y devoted t o t h e Union cause. Despite t h e i r s t rong p a c i f i s t p r i n c i p l e s , a few young men fought i n each opposing army. Loucioun county was occupied seve ra l times by Confederate and Federal t roops , each army ravaging t h e countryside i n search of food and l ives tock . When General Sheridan ra ided c e n t r a l Loudoun County i n 1864, many of the barns and much of t h e personal proper ty of t h e Friends were spared. So s t rong was t h e Union sentiment among the Quakers t h a t the name of t h e i r c e n t r a l v i l l a g e was changed from Goose Creek t o Lincoln.

I n 1815 Oak Dale School (53-305), a small , one-room, b r i c k schoolhouse was b u i l t i n Lincoln. It was maintained and supported by t h e Friends.

support of t h e Quaker community. I t was b u i l t i n Lincoln i n 1908,and when t h i s s t r u c t u r e l a t e r burned, the c l a s s e s were he ld i n the Fr iends Meetinghouse nearby.

The major i ty of Quakers i n the Goose Creek a r e a were farmers. They were noted f o r t h e i r high y i e l d o f .p roduc t ion . Long before crop r o t a t i o n was commonly p r a c t i c e d , t h e Quakers enjoyed optimum c rop y i e l d by r o t a t i n g crops of corn and wheat, while sowing grass and c l o v g i n unused f i e l d s . I n add i t ion , t h e Quaker farmers used crushed limestone as an e s s e n t i a l f e r t i l i z i n g agent .

I n 1803 Alexander Binns, a farmer from e a s t e r n Loudoun County, published A Trea t i se on P r a c t i c a l Farminq which was immediately adopted a s a handbook f o r e a s t e r n farmers. Although Binns claims t o have discovered the advantages of l ime f e r t i l i z a t i o n , t h e neighboring Quakers of c e n t r a l Loudoun County had known of t h e b e n e f i t s f o r yea r s . The r e s u l t - ing "Loudoun System" of a g r i c u l t u r e proved a g r e a t success i n helping t o r e s t o r e the ex-hausted farms o f t h e e a s t . Thomas Jef ferson, a f t e r reading Binns 's pub l i ca t ion , wrote a f r i e n d i n 1803: "The county of Loudoun had been so exhausted and wasted by bad husbandry, t h a t it began t o depopulate, t h e inhab i t an t s going southwardly i n search o f b e t t e r lands. Binns' success has stopped t h a t mi r a t i o n . It i s now becoming one of the most productive count ies o f t h e S t a t e of Virg in ia ." ?2

Other Friends engaged i n s e v e r a l d i f f e r e n t businesses and occupations throughout t h e se t t lement . "At one time t h e v i l l a g e of Lincoln had two merchandise s t o r e s , a blacksmith shop, an i r o n foundry, a t a n yard , a shoemaker, an undertaking establ ishment , two doctors , a t i n shop, a l i v e r y , f o u r churches, t h r e e schools , and a c i d e r p res s . " l3 I n t h e l a t e 19th and e a r l y 20th c e n t u r i e s , t h e town r e s i d e n t s were prosperous enough t o bui ld fashion-a b l e frame Vic tor ian houses wi th porch jigsaw work and e l abora te ly carved bargeboards. I n f a c t , today near ly every house loca ted on t h e main s t r e e t ( R t . 722) of Lincoln was b u i l t dur ing t h i s pe r iod .

The community of M t . Gilead i s another small commercial cen te r wi th in t h e Goose Creek H i s t o r i c D i s t r i c t . Located a t t h e southeas tern edge of the Quaker se t t lement a t o p Hogback Mountain, t h e town of M t . Gilead was planned by D r . l s aac Eaton, who began s e l l i n g one-half a c r e l o t s i n 1823. Eaton b u i l t t h e f i r s t b r i ck house (53-317) i n t h e a rea . He was the f i r s t postmaster and only doctor serv ing t h e comuni ty . Despite D r . Eaton's e f -f o r t s t o develop t h e town,Mt. Gilead never grew beyond a c o l l e c t i o n of e a r l y t o mid-19th- century res idences (53-317, 53-201, 53-318), two s t o r e s , a school , and a shoemaker's shop.

The se t t l emen t of Hughesville was founded by Constantine Hughes i n t h e l a t e 18th century. This comuni ty cons i s t ed of a s t o r e and pos t o f f i c e ( r ecen t ly des t royed) , a Bap t i s t church (53-464), and a frame school bui ld ing with b r i c k nogging (53-174).

Some of t h e ind iv idua l s who cont r ibuted t o t h e development of t h e a rea include: Samuel M. Janney, Yardley Taylor, and Richard Henry Taylor. Samuel M. Janney i n 1839 opened a h ighly successfu l g i r l s ' boarding school named Springdale. Janney wrote: " F i r s t

Yardley Taylor,' bes ides a i d i n g 'escaped s l aves t o freedom, was a surveyor who drew t h e f i r s t d e t a i l e d map of Loudoun County i n 1853. "This work of enduring value was pub- l i s h e d and up t o i t s time was t h e f i n e s t i n Vi rg in ia . " l5 Because of i t s accuracy, the armies t h a t invaded Loudoun County dur ing the C i v i l War r ap id ly used up every a v a i l a b l e copy, s o t h a t only a decade a f t e r i t s publ ica t ion , Taylor ' s map was d i f f i c u l t t o obtain.

Richard Henry Taylor, son o f Yardley Taylor, t h e map maker, c a s t i ron farm b e l l s , g r i l lwork , f l a t - i r o n s tands , and f r o g door s tops a t h i s foundry i n Lincoln.

Instrumental i n arousing i n t e r e s t among proper ty owners i n c r e a t i n g such a d i s t r i c t was John Lewis, an area r e s i d e n t who served a s regional surveyor f o r the Vi rg in ia His tor ic Landmarks Commission from 1972 u n t i l 1980. Between 1972 and 1975, Lewis surveyed and researched most of t h e o l d e r s t r u c t u r e s i n the d i s t r i c t , none of which had previously been included i n t h e HABS, WPA, o r Nst ional Trus t surveys. With t h e a s s i s t a n c e of Colon- e l and Mrs. William Evans-Smith of Goose Creek, Lewis obtained t h e support of t h e Lincoln Community League and, even tua l ly , 87% of the landowners i n favor of h i s t o r i c designat ion. After a lengthy process, t h e Loudoun Board of Supervisors approved the t e n thousand-acre Goose Creek His to r i c D i s t r i c t i n 1977, s ince which time t h e Goose Creek experience has become a model f o r c i t i z e n involvement i n adapting t h e h i s t o r i c p rese rva t ion ordinance t o the r u r a l environment.

BOUNDARY JUSTIFICATION

Boundaries o f t h i s t e n thousand-acre d i s t r i c t were chosen t o inc lude a s much land a s p o s s i b l e wi th in t h e o r i g i n a l Quaker se t t lement north o f the North Fork of Goose Creek and south of the town l i m i t s of Hamilton and P u r c e l l v i l l e . These town l i m i t s were conven- i e n t no r the rn boundaries. A concent ra t ion of developments i m e d i a t e l y p a s t t h e town l i m -i t s d id no t r e l a t e t o t h e rural cha rac te r of t h e Goose Creek area . A p a r t of t h e course of Crooked Run a l s o serves a s a northern d i s t r i c t boundary, a s does p a r t o f Route 709.

To t h e e a s t , a paved, ,m@derately t r ave led Route 704 serves a s a d e f i n i t e d i s t r i c t boundary. The cha rac te r of t h e land e a s t of t h i s boundary changes; t h e f i e l d s a r e more open and l e s s r o l l i n g ; a l s o a dec l ine i n a concent ra t ion of s i g n i f i c a n t h i s t o r i c proper- t i e s i s evident . The southeas tern boundaries coinc ide with rou tes 662 and 797, which a r e r idge roads on Hogback Mountain. The mountain i t s e l f s e rves a s a n a t u r a l boundary f o r t h e d i s t r i c t .

The southern boundary o f t h e d i s t r i c t i s p a r t o f Route 728, which a t one time served a s t h e main road t o M t . Gilead. A small p a r t o f t h e road i s now impassable, b u t the road t r a c e is d i s c e r n i b l e . A t t h e junct ion of routes 728 and 729, t h e boundary fol lows a s h o r t northern r o u t e along m u t e 729 i n order t o avoid including t h e increas ingly developed community o f North Fork f u r t h e r west. Also, t h e road i s paved west of t h e junct ion, and farms a r e l a r g e r and con t ra s t ing i n cha rac te r t o those wi th in t h e d i s t r i c t . Where Route 729 c r o s s e s t h e North Fork o f Goose Creek, t h e d i s t r i c t boundary i s again d i r e c t e d west along the course o f t h e creek. Goose Creek serves a s a major boundary f o r t h e d i s t r i c t . There a r e few o r i g i n a l Quaker landholdings south o f t h e creek . With the exceptions o f a few o f f s e t s , mainly t o inc lude s i g n i f i c a n t h i s t o r i c p r o p e r t i e s , t h e meanderings of Goose Creek a l s o se rve a s a western boundary.
