Samuel Kercheval
Samuel Kercheval (March 1767 in Frederick County, Virginia – 14 November 1845 in Middletown, Virginia) was a Virginia lawyer and author. His ''A History of the Valley of Virginia'' (1st edition, 1833) provides important primary information on the earliest white settlements of the Shenandoah Valley and South Branch Potomac River and their encounters with local Indians.
==Biography==
Kercheval married Susannah Chinn on 23 September 1787.
Kercheval (corresponded with Thomas Jefferson and James Madison ). A letter (from Jefferson to Kercheval ) contains an eloquent argument against fossilizing the constitution, arguing against treating, "constitutions with sanctimonious reverence, and deem them like the arc of the covenant, too sacred to be touched."
His ''Valley of Virginia'' was so popular that the first edition was soon exhausted. He died before the second edition came out.〔Walker, Etta Belle (“The Story Teller Of The Valley--Samuel Kercheval” ); In: Willis, Carrie Hunter and Etta Belle Walker (1937), ''Legends of the Skyline Drive and the Great Valley of Virginia'', Richmond, Virginia: Dietz Press.〕 He lived at the time of his death at "Harmony Hall" between Strasburg and Middletown.〔"Harmony Hall" is now part of Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park.〕
