Harry Carter Stuart was a Virginia cattle breeder and trader, who served as the Democratic State Senator from the 18th District. A lifelong Democrat, Carter helped lead the Byrd Organization's policy of Massive Resistance to racial integration in Virginia's public schools. Harry C. Stuart was born in Abington to his wife Sally Preston White Stuart, his uncle Henry Carter Stuart operated the Stuart Land and Cattle Company along with Harry's father and his uncle Zed. Their family's cattle company was the largest ranching operation east of the Mississippi river for nearly a century. Harry had a brother, John W. Stuart, who served as U. S. Marshal for the Western District of Virginia during the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration. Harry C. Stuart studied at the Cluster Springs Academy, Virginia Military Institute and for a year at Hampden-Sydney College, he married Marion Lee Cobbs Stuart Harry C. Stuart began his career as a livestock dealer in 1909, with the family's Stuart Land & Cattle Company. During World War I, he served with the U.

S. Army Infantry's 81st Division overseas; the huge cattle and farming operations, the oldest in the country, employed thousands of local people in several southwest Virginia counties. Harry C. Stuart was active in many dairymen's associations, the Elk Gardens Farm Products Corporation, the Virginia Beef Cattle Breeders Association, a steward in the Methodist Church; the Future Farmers of America gave him an award in 1959. He lived in a mansion called Rosedale in Elk Garden, which his uncle Governor H. C. Stuart had built. Harry C. Stuart was affiliated with the Byrd Organization. In 1940, voters of Buchanan and Tazewell Counties elected him to the Virginia State Senate, District 18, replacing Jack W. Witten, he was re-elected six times, serving until his death shortly before the special session in 1963. In 1956 Harry C. Stuart assisted the Massive Resistance policy of U. S. Senator Harry F. Byrd over integration of Virginia's public schools by introducing an interposition resolution, asserting Virginia's sovereignty against encroachment by the federal government.

That reacted against the United States Supreme Court decisions in Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 and 1955. Though Virginia' official response to Brown was a commission under State Senator Garland Gray to study options, Harry C. Stuart and U. S. Senator Byrd became radicalized; when the legislature met in August 1956, it debated a radicalized segregationist version of the Gray Commission plan, which became known as the Stanley plan. That in part proposed to fund segregation academies through tuition grants, was sponsored by Harry C. Stuart in the Virginia Senate as well as delegate H. Stuart Carter of Washington County and Bristol in the House of Delegates, although opposed by his cousin state senator Stuart B. Carter. Stuart died shortly before the 1963 special legislative session and was replaced by George F. Barnes. However, after the 1964 reapportionment, the district renumbered the 17th was represented by Donald A. McGlothin Sr. although the district boundaries were again redrawn for the 1966 election and Barnes won election to the 16th District and Macon M. Long was elected to the 15th District.

All of these counties are now in the 38th District. In 1984, Marion Stuart was interred beside her husband Harry Stuart at the Russell Memorial Cemetery in Lebanon, Virginia, his father Dale C. Stuart and uncle Governor H. C. Stuart are buried there, but his opponent cousin in the Massive Resistance battle, Stuart B. Carter is buried in Fairview cemetery in Buchanan, Virginia

Vice-Admiral John Graydon was an English officer of the Royal Navy. He was active during the War of the Spanish Succession. In June 1686 Graydon was appointed lieutenant of HMS Charles Galley. In her he took part in the battle of Bantry Bay on 1 May 1689, was shortly afterwards promoted to HMS Defiance, which he commanded in the battle of Beachy Head, 30 June 1690. In 1692 he commanded HMS Hampton Court in the action at Barfleur. From 1694 to 1695 he was appointed Commander-in-Chief and with the grand fleet through 1695. From 1695 to 1697 he commanded HMS Vanguard with the grand fleet. In April 1701 in HMS Assistance he convoyed the trade to Newfoundland, seeing the trade thence into the Mediterranean was back in England by the spring of 1702. In June, while in command of HMS Triumph at Portsmouth, he was promoted to be rear-admiral of the blue, ordered out to join Sir George Rooke on the coast of Spain, he was with him in the attempt on Cadiz, in the destruction of the enemy's ships at the Battle of Vigo Bay.

The following January he was promoted to be vice-admiral of the white, appointed commander-in-chief of a squadron sent out to the Jamaica Station. He sailed with special orders to make the best of his way out, to collect such force, both of ships and troops, as might be available, going north to reduce the French settlement of Placentia. A few days after he sailed, on 18 March, he fell in with a squadron of four French ships of force inferior to the five with him. Graydon, considered that he was bound by his instructions to avoid all chances of delay, he arrived at Barbados on 12 May, at Jamaica on 4 June but the necessity of refitting, the condition of several of the ships, some of, long on the station, the want of stores, the bad feeling with the locals, all combined to delay the expedition. It did not reach Newfoundland till the beginning of August. From that time for thirty days it was enveloped in a dense fog. On 24 September the fleet accordingly sailed for England; the expedition had been an evident failure, the neglect to engage the French squadron passed on the outward voyage appeared culpable.

He was condemned on hearsay. Graydon was cashiered, his pension was stopped, he was not reinstated, he died on 12 March 1726. His portrait, a half-length by Sir Godfrey Kneller, is in the Painted Hall at Greenwich, to which it was presented by George IV. Cundall, Frank. Historic Jamaica.
