General Notes (Husband)
Sir Walter moved from England and settled in New Jersey in 1729. In 1745 he moved to the Shenandoah Valley with his wife and family and they settled in Frederick County, Virginia which is now Jefferson County, West Virginia. Family genealogists believe Walter was the eighth son of Sir Robert Shirley and Elizabeth Washington. As of 1999 this has not been proved or disproved. It was said that he died at a young age; however he apparently died in Frederick County, Virginia in the latter part of 1755. His will dated July 10, 1755 mentions a his children, Walter, Jarvis, James, Robert, Sarah and Dorcas by name. A codicil dated August 11, 1755 mentions his wife Dorcas and his friend and brother Francis Avis. Each of his four sons has a daughter named Elizabeth.

1 UPDA 2 PLAC Discoverer
First of the modern sea explorers founded school for navigators Portugal 1419 sent ships to explore down African coast reached Gambia River 1455, tiny Portugal became a world power .
HENRY THE NAVIGATOR (1394-1460) was a Portuguese prince who promoted explorations of the west African coast during the 1400's. These explorations helped advance the study of geography and made Portugal a leader in navigation among European nations of that time. Henry sent out more than 50 expeditions but went on none of these voyages himself.
Henry was the son of King John I and Queen Philippa. He was a serious, studious youth, and he had a special interest in mathematics and astronomy. Henry and two older brothers, Duarte and Pedro, wanted to prove that they were worthy to be knighted. With their father's approval, they organized an army and captured Ceuta, an important commercial town in Morocco. The three brothers were knighted, and Henry was appointed governor of Ceuta.
The commercial routes between Ceuta and inner Africa stirred Henry's interest in the geography of Africa. Henry wanted to expand Portugal's trade and influence along the African coast. He also hoped to find the source of the gold that Islamic traders had been carrying north from central Africa for hundreds of years. Henry's skill in mathematics and astronomy helped him organize expeditions along the northwest African coast. In 1419, two Portuguese explorers sent by Henry reached Porto Santo, one of the Madeira Islands. These explorers, Joao Goncalves and Tristao Vaz, sailed to the island of Madeira itself in the early 1420's. Portugal colonized both islands.
One of Henry's goals was to send explorers beyond Cape Bojador, in what is now Western Sahara. The cape was the southernmost point known to Europeans at that time. After several unsuccessful attempts, an expedition led by Gil Eanes finally passed the cape in 1434. Eanes reached Rio de Oro, also in Western Sahara, in 1436.
One of Henry's explorers, Antao Goncalves, returned to Portugal with some Africans he had captured on an expedition in 1441. These people were the first slaves brought from west Africa to Europe. One of the captives was a chieftain named Adahu, who told Henry about lands farther south and inland. In 1441, Nuno Tristao sailed as far south as Cape Blanc, on the border of Western Sahara and Mauritania. Diniz Diaz reached Cape Verde, in present-day Senegal, in 1445. By the time of Henry's death in 1460, Portuguese ships had reached the coast of Sierra Leone.
Henry planned and raised the money for the expeditions. He was aided by mapmakers, astronomers, and mathematicians of many nationalities, whom he gathered together at Sagres, near Cape St. Vincent, Portugal. The navigational knowledge gained under Henry's direction led to several historic voyages within 50 years after his death. They included the voyages of the Portuguese explorers Vasco da Gama and Bartolomeu Dias around the southern tip of Africa.
