Fauquier County Tapscotts - The Holders

Clarke Co, which borders Fauquier Co to the north, is the site of an historic Church of England, later Episcopalian, chapel, dating back to about 1747, though the structure has been rebuilt several times. In the adjacent cemetery stands a grave marker for Robert F. Tapscott, progenitor of an extensive line of Tapscotts centered in Clarke Co, mostly near the county seat, Berryville, initially designated “Battletown.” And who was Robert? That is a fascinating question, one which required years of research to answer.

We have already blogged about Robert and Robert Revisited. Now we need to add some new material and consolidate everything for the book Elizabeth's Children being written. And that is what we will be doing over the next few blogs.
