    You have rea'y imposed a task upon me which I can by no measns perform viz: That of writing a Merry and Comical Letter: how shou'd I my dear that am ever confined either at School or with my Grandmama know how the world goes on? Now I will give you the History of one Day at the Repetition of which without variations carries me through the Three hundred and sixty-five Days, which you know compleats a year. Well then first begin, I am awakened out of a sound Sleep with some croaking voice either Miss Polly, Milly's or some other of our Domestics with Miss Polly Miss Polly get up, 'tis time to rise, Mr. Price is down stairs and tho I hear them I lie quiet snugg till my Grandmama uses her voice, then up I get, huddle on my cloaths and down to Books, then to Breakfast, then to School again and may I have an hour to myself before Dinner, then the Same Story over again until twi-light and then a small portion of time before I go to rest, and so you must expect nothing from me but that I am.

    Dear Cousin, Most Affectionately Yours

    Maria Carter

    Governor Berkeley and the Creation of the Virginia Aristocracy: The landed gentry rose to prominence in Virginia with the arrival of Sir William Berkeley as Royal Governor. Governor Berkeley, an Oxford-educated playwright, soldier and diplomat, arrived in Virginia in 1642, when Virginia was a frontier society of roughly 8,000 colonists. He was to hold office longer than any other governor of Virginia. Born in 1606 in England, Berkeley had been a courtier in the court of the British monarch Charles I, and came with a desire to invigorate the colony and create an imitation of British society in the New World. Under his administration, the first generation of what would be known as the Virginian aristocracy came into existence before the English Civil War ended. These included the founders of powerful dynasties such as John Carter, Richard Lee, Benjamin Harrison, the first Randolph and Thomas Stegg (or Stegge) who amassed the Byrd wealth. All of the colonizers who rose socially had connections, wealth and education. These advantages promoted them to the highest rungs of the colonial society. The families they founded ruled the Royal colony of Virginia for more than a century.

    The Byrd, Beverley, Carter, Culpepper, Isham, Washington, Spencer, Randolph, Jefferson, Bland, Beverely, Bolling, Eppe and Hackett families intermarried, creating a web of overlapping kinships. They sat on the governing boards of the colony and promoted each others interests. Berkeley also fostered the rise of the General Assembly from a small body into a replica of the Parliament in England, and promoted a separation of power between provincial and county governments. He worked to create a royalist society, where an elite ruled over the great masses of yeoman farmers, free and enslaved African Americans, indentured servants and marginal farmers who leased their land. A brief look at some of the families who served in the Virginia House of Burgesses displays a continuity of the landed-gentry class in the governing class of the colony. In 1664 Lawrence Washington and William Randolph were elected members of the House of Burgesses. The 1736-1740 legislative session had representatives of the Randolph, Carter, Fitzhugh, Beverely and Berkeley families seated, and the 1776 Assembly had Carters, Randolphs and Lees as well as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.
