Time and Place: Solomon Butler and Charlotte
I had previously posted most of this material separately, but I wanted to bring it together to show the full picture. Back when I first wanted to know the family history, I was told that we were descendants of Solomon Butler, a free Black man, and a "slave girl." The story preserved Solomon’s name, but not Charlotte’s. Why had her identity disappeared from the family account? While researching the brothers, Anthony and Moses Allmond, from whom I was told that all the Black Allmonds in […]https://genealo.me/2026/08/24/time-and-place-solomon-butler-and-charlotte/

Hype for the Future 185E → West Hampton Roads, Virginia
Introduction The western portion of the Hampton Roads region in the Commonwealth of Virginia, around and slightly east of the Fall Line in communities such as the City of Emporia and the City of Franklin to the east, is notable for a relatively slower pace of life and lower population densities compared to the inner cities of the Hampton Roads region further east. Generally, the West Hampton Roads communities are located substantially south of the James River and may also represent the […] -
An up-close and personal performance from John Bramwell (I Am Kloot) at Strings this evening.
If his name doesn’t ring a bell, do yourself a favour and go listen to ‘Natural History’ (produced by Guy Garvey of Elbow) — it’s a gem.

Short bit of video from aboard Paddle Steamer Waverley yesterday on our little jaunt around the Isle of Wight with some views of the pistons and paddle wheels plus views of the island from the main deck.

A longer day than expected on Waverley today but thoroughly enjoyable. This is off the south coast of the Isle of Wight earlier. We were due back in Portsmouth at 19:00 and we arrived only to find a cruise ship was late leaving from our berth. The knock-on effect of that along with the logistics of ferrying to and from Waverley and Gunwharf meant we were nearly two hours late getting off. A bit tiring, but still wonderful.

Just passed Bembridge on the Isle of Wight aboard the paddle steamer Waverley and it is fabulously rocky on the ship. The wind and waves are knocking the ship up, down, left, right, and it's seriously so much fun. Watching everyone trying to walk at about ten degrees with pints in hand, everyone laughing.

The beach at Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight for #MeerMittwoch this week, and this was taken three years ago today. At the end of the pier you can see the paddle steamer Waverley, the world's last seagoing paddle steamship, and we'd sailed on her to the island from Portsmouth with the intention of then sailing around the island. Mechanical issues stopped that but this Saturday we shall be trying again.

Booked ourselves a little treat for next month (we'll pretend it's for my birthday even though we don't buy presents) and it will be a second attempt to sail around the Isle of Wight on the world's last seagoing paddle steamer, Waverley. Tried in 2022 but ended up spending the day in Yarmouth instead owing to some engine issues. Lovely, old vessel with an open engine room to the pistons and paddles.
