I have rescheduled the January ARAB meeting for Monday January 24, 2000 at 7:30 p.m., in the first floor conference room of the Frederick County Administration Building, 107 North Kent Street, Winchester, Virginia. Should this meeting time be unsuitable for a large number of HRAB members, we can postpone the meeting until February. We will resume our normal schedule for February and meet on Tuesday February 15`h, 2000. The Route 11 North study area contains several historic structures, as well as portions of the Third Winchester Battlefield. I would invite each of you to attend this meeting and provide any input you might have regarding historic resources or land use issues in this area. 197 North Xent Street . )/Yincheslzr, Vhrgh ja 222601-51)W AGENDA I.

All bear the date of November 12, 1735, and recite that the grantee Is one of seventy families brought in by them, and except for location arid acreage are alike in wording and donditions and are signed by William Gooch, Lieutenant -Governor of the Colony at that time. One of the grantees was Thomas Babb for six hundred acres on Babb's Run in Frederick County, Va. His will was probated November 4, 1760. He left his home plantation to his son Sampson Babb describing it tc be "the place where I now live." (F.W.B. 2-p.440) We believe "the place where I now live" to be the original part of the house, long known as "Springdale" by the Lupton family. Sampson Babb died intestate and the property was inherited by • Phillip Babb, his elder brother and heir-at-law. On August 3,1784 Joseph Lupton Jr. bought one hundred eighty acres and the house from Phillip Babb (F.D.B. 20-p.205). Joseph Lupton Jr. died Nov.4,1791. In his will (F.W.B-p.317) he devised this property to his daughter Ann Lupton (1767-1833) and her husband Nathan Updegraff (1750--1827). Ann and Nathan Updegraff removed to Jefferson County, Ohio in 1800 and sold "6pringdale" to her brother David Lupton (1757-1822) (F.D.B. 26-p.404). David Lupton had built "Cherry Row"in 1794 nearby on the Ridge. David Lupton's will probated Nov.4,1822 devised 2 "Springdale" to his son, Jonah Hollingsworth Lupton (1795-1870), describing it as the "tract on which Jonah now lives" (F.W.B.11-p.315. On Feb.13,1889, the heirs of Jonah Lupton conveyed to his son, David Phineas Lupton (1846-1918) one hundred acres including the house, 118pringdalel'(F.D.B.106-p.60). David Phineas Lupton left this property to his brother, Hugh S. Lupton (1845-1919). On March 30,1920 Mary Speakman Lupton, wife of Hush Lupton, conveyed to their son Daniel Walker Lupton (1881-1935) the same one hundred acres,which Included "Springdale" (F.D.B.147-p.218). On May 21,1923 Daniel W. Lupton gave a deed of trust on this property to the Federal Land Bank of Baltimore. On Feb.6,1942 the Bank ccnveyed the property to R.� Carol-ne Lupton Bond (1883-1975),Daniel Lupton`s sister. On March 17,; I-) 1953, Mrs. Bond conveyed the property to James L. Reinhart and his wife Nancy Bond Reinhart, a Lupton descendant (F.D.B.227-p.33). On Oct.l, 1958 James L. Reinhart,convel'yed the property to John P.Good "t Y (F.D.B.254-p.364). The present owner is T.iielson Keech. References: Hopewell Friends History 1734-1934 Lupton Family Records Frederick County Records Compiled by Norma M.
