Sample Book Insights: #1 The first courtroom appearance of Patrick Henry Jr. was in the Parsons’ Cause, a case that had religious and political implications for both Virginia and England. If Henry lost the case, many would lose their homes and lands. #2 Patrick Henry was a lawyer, and he was assigned to represent the plaintiff in the trial. He had three previous careers that had all ended in failure. He was intelligent, hard-working, cheerful, personable, learned, and extremely talented in many ways. But he came from a well-educated and successful Scottish and Welsh stock. #3 Sarah traced her lineage to two of Virginia’s oldest and most accomplished families, the Winstons and the Dabneys. John Henry was a member of Hanover County’s ruling circle, and he became one of the most powerful figures in the county by maneuvering relatives into six of the twelve county judgeships. #4 Patrick Henry’s childhood home was a rectangular box covered with whitewashed clapboards. It was the center of family life, and he grew up an indolent, dreamy, frolicsome creature. He had a mild, benevolent, humane personality.
