Mordecai Hord was a participant in the French and Indian
War (1755-1762); Wagon Master (equivalent to the rank of Quartermaster at
the present time) of General Braddock's Army (1755); probably naming his
second son in commemoration of the stirring events of the war and of several
important treaties concluded with the Six Nations of Indians at Fort
Stanwix on the Mohawk. He was a Warden and Vestryman (i767) of
Fredericksville Parish, Louisa County, Virginia, with Thomas Jefferson
(afterwards President of the United States). In 1770 he moved to Henry
County, where he was a neighbor and intimate friend of Patrick Henry, the
great orator and Governor of Virginia. In 1780 he sold land to Patrick Henry
for five thousand pounds current money of Virginia. Land warrants, possibly
for services in the French and Indian War, were granted to Mordecai Hord,
entitling him to large tracts in Bedford County, Virginia (see Bedford
Records). "He took no part in the Revolutionary War on account of his age,
although he was a great patriot. He was very fleshy, weighed two hundred
pounds or more, was of fine personal appearance and had a strong natural
mind" (see "Reminiscences" by Major John Redd in the "Virginia Historical
Society Magazine," Vol. VI, p. 342). For reference to several journeys made
by him to Kentucky see also the same magazine, Vol. VII, pp. 247, 248, 404,
and Vol. IX, p. 212. He is mentioned in a list of persons who renounced
their allegiance to Great Britain and took the oath of allegiance to the
Commonwealth of Virginia before August 30, 1777 (see "Virginia Magazine,"
Vol. IX, p. 17). The Inventory of his estate (October 6, 1789) made after
his death indicates that he was a very wealthy man for his time. He owned
more than thirty-two negroes, valued at $175 each. His personal property
(not including lands) amounted to $9045.03.
Among articles mentioned in his Inventory are: Bible, $10; Shakespeare's and
Pope's writings, Dictionary, desk, $25; cupboard, $15; brass scales, $15;
cash on hand, $10000. He indulged in "blue broad cloth," worth $2.50 per
yard, and his servants wore "cotton cloth," worth fifty cents per yard. The
Inventory also shows "two kadders" (probably tea caddies), one pair
spaniels, one "Search" (possibly a lantern), one table "server," silver
spoons, silver watch and neck clasp, gold sleeve buttons, two jacks or pot
racks. He died in 1789. His will was made September 29, 1783, just as he was
about to set out on a perilous journey to Powell's Valley. It was proved in
Henry County, Virginia, June 29, 1789. His executors are to divide all his
lands on the "Western Waters" into four parts and give them to sons Stanwix,
William, John and Mordecai. To son Mordecai one-fourth part of lands on
"Western Waters, the land, houses and plantation where he (Mordecai, senior)
was then living on Smith's River, in Henry County, also six negroes: Lett,
Len, Else, Wann, Anthony and Sirus; also two hundred and fifty pounds
specie; one-third of all his household furniture, cattle, horses, hogsi
sheep and crops. He appoints son William and brother.in-law, George WaIler,
guardians of Mordecai, junior, whom he desires to be "educated in the
genteelest manner by sending him to the Academy in Prince Edward County or
to any other seminary of learning, that he may be taught the languages and
sciences till he is nineteen years old at which time he is to be put to the
study of the Law or Physic." To daughter, Mary Hord, five negroes: Agg,
Winn, Randolph, Milly and Bess, also one hundred pounds current money,' also
twenty choice cows, ten choice ewes and the best horse or mare in the
stable, and one-fifth part of his furniture, money, debts, cattle, horses,
sheep, crops, etc To son Stanwix, three negroes: George, Marge and
Sail; a fourth part of land on "Western Waters," a fifth part of furniture,
cattle, etc. To son William, three negroes: Tom, Frank and Lem; a fourth
part of lands on "Western Waters" and an equal share of property as other
children. To son John, negroes: Kate, Charles, Bett and Pegg; a fourth part
of land on "Western Waters," etc. To daughter, Jane Fleming, three negroes:
Rachel, Mirna and Peter; land on "Western Waters, furniture, cattle, etc.
His executors were his "friends Patrick Henry, Edmund Lyne," his
brother-in-law, "Colonel George Wailer, Gentleman," and son, William Hord.
Mordecai Hord's tomb may still be seen at "Hordsville" in Henry County,
Virginia, where his wife and several of his family are also buried. The
facsimile of his signature is here given.

There is a tradition that John Hord was paralyzed several
years before his death, having been stricken one day on horseback just as he
was entering his own gate. He was an invalid for many years, and a
small door in his house at "Shady Grove" is still pointed out
where it is said he was accustomed to sit and watch
the negroes working in the fields. His wife
probably died many years before
him. She is not men-
tioned in his will.

John Hord was
engaged in the rebellion of the Duke of Monmouth against King James II, and
came to America after the defeat of the former. Other members of his family
were also actively engaged in this rebellion. On 11 Jun 1685, "St. Barnabas
Day", Thomas Hord was arrested for taking part in this rebellion (brother or
relative -- not son).
He came to Virginia in 1685 and purchased a large tract of land in what is
now Caroline Co., on the Rappahannock River, which he named "Shady Grove".
