" This year is set down as 1733, when William Byrd, the second of the masters of the splendid house of Westover to bear that name, developed a pet project to found two cities. He explains that the localities are naturally intended for marts, and that one shall exchange 82 the name of "Shoccoes" for Richmond; while the other, at the head of the Appomattox, is the city of Petersburg. He fancifully continues: *'Thus did we build not only castles, but cities in the air. " While Sir William Berkeley... was governor— in fact, the date is given, March 15, 1675-6, because Captain William Byrd had introduced one hun- dred and twenty-two persons into the colony and later some negro slaves, he was rewarded by a grant of land, some seven thousand and more acres, beginning at the mouth of Shoccoes' Creek. Other grants followed these, all in the same locality, so, a later generation was indeed, possessed of suffi- cient paternal acres whereon to found a city — two of them. In 1742, by an act of the Assembly, Richmond was established a town in Henrico County and one of the perquisites was the ''allow- ing of fairs to be held therein, on the lands of William Byrd, Esq.
