_______________________________________
The McGavock family is truly the American heritage of plantation tobacco growers, spanning back to the American revolution.
On January 20th, 1775, James McGavock was one of thirteen elected representatives of Fincastle County, Colony of Virginia to sign the Fincastle Resolutions. The Fincastle Resolutions were the first adopted statement by the colonists which promised resistance to the death against the British crown in order to preserve political liberties. These representatives adopted the Fincastle Resolutions at Lead Mines, which was the county seat but also their actual source of lead for ammunition. The Fincastle Resolutions became the roots and forerunner of the Declaration of Independence, and thankfully this legacy still endures today. Enjoy the taste of American History with McGavock.
