Christopher Calthrope settled Poquoson in 1631 when he was granted a 500-acre land patent in "New Poquoson." Calthrope's land patent was one of many granted by Royal Governor Harvey in order to extend the English settlement from the James River across the peninsula to the York River. Plantations dominated the area until the American Revolutionary War. By the late 18th century, new residents migrated from the eastern shore of Virginia and Maryland and began settling in Poquoson. It was during the 19th century that the distinct communities of Odd, Messick, Jeffs, Moores, and Poquoson began to be settled. These communities, though in close proximity to each other, had their own stores and post offices. As the 20th century progressed, new families moved into the area due to the establishment of nearby Langley Air Force Base and NASA.

Phoebe Harcum's memories of Poquoson were published in the Poquoson Post in the 1980s. She intended to collect those stories and add remembrances of family and friends into a larger book, but never completed the task before her death in January 2018. Her husband and daughter have edited the stories that were written and combined them with tributes to other Poquoson residents to make an interesting, touching and sometimes humorous testament to early Poquoson. Here, the oral histories become written as we learn about the young boy in a washtub who paddles out to the Yankee gunboat during the Civil War, or the daredevil flyer who volunteers for duty during World War ll, or the rescued steer who comes to live on the farm with us. Join us as we follow Phoebe down a trail of wonderful memories.

This text comprises the expanded second edition of the Poquoson Watermen (originally published in 1988), presenting a single surname study of the Forrest family of Messick, Poquoson, York County, Virginia. Data has been drawn from official censuses, the York County Marriage Book, family histories, handwritten documents in the possession of family members and oral family traditions. The three Poquoson Forrest families included in this volume have been greatly expanded upon since being the subject of a single chapter in the 1988 volume. Every census record known to pertain to the Poquoson Forrests has been abstracted and cited, and the text follows each family from its earliest mention in the colonial era to the present. Individual chapters are devoted to the descendants of Abraham Forrest of Matthews County (c1780-c1865), Thomas Humphrey Forrest (c1800-c1846), Abraham Forrest of Poquoson (1812-c1873), Henry Harry Forrest (1818-1904), Henry Nathaniel Forrest (1814-c1880) and Thomas Humphrey Forrest (1835-1913). A bibliography of published works on the Poquoson District, a list of Poquoson graduates of the Virginia Military Institute, a full name index and numerous illustrations enhance the text. Mr. Willett is related to most of the Poquoson families through his maternal Martin and Hopkins ancestors; he is a family history researcher and recognized authority on the Willett surname and on his maternal families of Poquoson, York County, Virginia.
