1541	Name:	William Grayson
	Year Elected:	1780
	Residency:	Resident
	Living? :	Deceased
	Birth Date:	1736
	Death Date:	3/12/1790

	William Grayson (1736–12 March 1790) was a lawyer, soldier, slaveholder and statesman, and a member of the American Philosophical Society, elected in 1780. He was born in Virginia to a merchant family, and attended the College of Philadelphia, graduating in 1760. He likely followed by pursuing legal training at the University of Edinburgh because afterwards he returned to Virginia and began his own legal practice.. He entered public life at the Westmorland County meeting that adopted the Association of 1766, the first association of men committed to boycotting British goods. Greyson served in the Virginia convention in 1775 before becoming a colonel of infantry in the Virginia army the following year. Alongside Washington, Grayson fought at Valley Forge, and the battles of Long Island and White Plains. He became a regimented commander, then fought in the battles of Brandywine, Germantown, and Monmoth before becoming a commissioner of the Board of War in 1779. His time in public office continued five years later when he joined the Virginia General Assembly. During his last decade in public office he supported the Northwest Ordinance, which notably banned slavery in the new territories (though his support for the ban had more to do with eradicating potential Northwestern tobacco market competitors for the benefit of slaveholding Virginians such as himself). During this time he also took up the anti-federalist mantle, earning the honor of being Virginia’s first senator in the process. He was not in his new office for long, however, as he died of gout in between sessions of the First Congress. In his will he freed the enslaved people working under him only if they were born after the Declaration of Independence. (ANB)

	Crawford H. Greenewalt, Jr. was a Professor of Classical Archaeology at the University of California, Berkeley from 1978 until his death in 2012. He was also the longtime leader of the Harvard-Cornell archaeological expedition to Sardis, serving as its director from 1976-2008. His skill and an unusual ability to work effectively under difficult field conditions enabled Dr. Greenewalt to become one of the most productive archaeologists in the eastern Mediterranean area. The importance of Sardis - from the pages of Herodotus to the history of the Byzantine empire - makes his work important and interesting to students of many fields. Dr. Greenewalt was the author of detailed annual reports on excavations at Sardis as well as articles and works such as Ritual Dinners in Early Historic Sardis (1978). Both to technical scholars in the discipline and to "buffs," his lucid presentation of data, combined with the personal qualities of restraint and modesty, has made classical archaeology a vital intellectual force. He was awarded the Archaeological Institute of America's Bandelier Award for Public Service to Archaeology in 2012. He was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 1987. Crawford H. Greenewalt, Jr., died May 4, 2012, at the age of 74 in Hockessin, Delaware.
