Rappahannock County is celebrating its 162nd anniversary this week. It is among the younger counties of the Commonwealth having been part of Culpeper County before its establishment in 1833. Pictured above is the tavern which was owned and operated by Miss Anne M. Coxe in 1833 where the first Commissioners of the Peace for the newly formed County of Rappahannock took their oath of office. They were, according to the first entry in the minute book for Rappahannock, as follows: William A. Lane, Thomas Spindle, Charles Shackelford, John Turner, French Strother, Gabriel Parkes, James Green, Daniel Mason, William Walden, George Deatherage, Burwell 'K. Wood, Robert Eastham, John D. Browning, James Menefee, Thomas Walden, William Slaughter, Howard F. Thornton, Henry R. Menefee, Dawson I. Burgess, Reuben Slaughter, Willis Browning, Elijah Amiss, Addison Turner, Alexander H. Spilman, and John R. Browning. It ceased to he a tavern in the early 1950’s and is now the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Walker. Architects consider this a prime example of early American architecture as it has remained basicly unchanged throughout the years.
