<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:49</time>
<p>arms oh yeah it'll have the unicorn and</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:52</time>
<p>the lion and it's because the Unicorn</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:55</time>

<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:57</time>
<p>in those mythical creatures and the line</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:05:59</time>

<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:00</time>
<p>yeah I don't think again me not being a</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:03</time>
<p>history guy I don't think I put that</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:04</time>
<p>together so so learning as a talk on the</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:06</time>
<p>podcast so those coat of arms you'll see</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:08</time>
<p>all over the place and then when William</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:11</time>
<p>dies well his Mary dies First and</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:14</time>
<p>William dies and Queen Anne becomes</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:16</time>
<p>Queen and she's really Pinnacle with</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:18</time>
<p>like</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:19</time>
<p>sustaining Williamsburg and helping them</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:22</time>
<p>grow and get bigger and she's actually</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:25</time>
<p>the sister of Mary Mary and Anne are the</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:29</time>
<p>legitimate Heirs of the throne yeah and</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:31</time>
<p>so when Mary marries William he becomes</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:35</time>
<p>king but as soon as he dies and Mary</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:37</time>
<p>dies it goes back to Mary's line since</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:41</time>
<p>she's the they have no children so Queen</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:43</time>
<p>Anne becomes Queen</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:45</time>
<p>and she um so that's why their name is</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:47</time>
<p>plastered all over everything it's all</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:06:49</time>

<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:03</time>
<p>have gone to William and Mary so</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:06</time>
<p>it's just a lot of</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:09</time>
<p>historic places</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:11</time>
<p>1699 it becomes the capital of Virginia</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:14</time>
<p>so yeah it's actually Williamsburg is</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:17</time>
<p>the capital and</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:19</time>
<p>it's not until Thomas Jefferson decides</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:22</time>
<p>to move it during the American</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:24</time>
<p>Revolution in 1780 for protection</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:27</time>
<p>because Williamsburg is really close to</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:30</time>
<p>the water</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:31</time>
<p>opening the Chesapeake Bay would be</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:34</time>
<p>technically easier for someone to yeah</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:36</time>
<p>so the British and cannons yeah the</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:38</time>
<p>British will have easy access so he</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:41</time>
<p>moves it further up River where it's not</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:43</time>
<p>as accessible by ship right to Richmond</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:46</time>
<p>and then and so in 1790 Richmond becomes</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:07:49</time>
<p>the capital of Virginia</p>

<p>to stay and if you can do like we did</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>

<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:38</time>
<p>surprised me with um a weekend in a</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:42</time>
<p>Colonial House the Lewis house and the</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:44</time>
<p>Lewis house was</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:46</time>
<p>on the property of Martha Washington's</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:52</time>
<p>grandfather's property right and</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:55</time>
<p>I think he rented out the house I don't</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:58</time>
<p>think he lived there I don't think Lewis</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:17:59</time>
<p>was his name no so if I remember right</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:02</time>
<p>from when I was making the video I think</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:04</time>
<p>it actually like it was one of his homes</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:06</time>
<p>one of his properties one of his</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:08</time>
<p>properties he eventually he eventually</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:10</time>
<p>sold it yes he eventually sold it and</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:12</time>
<p>then I think that's the person he sold</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:14</time>
<p>it to is Lewis yes</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:16</time>
<p>um but it's it's highly probable that</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:19</time>
<p>Martha Washington as a as a young child</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:21</time>

<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:31</time>

<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:34</time>
<p>remember what her maiden made I don't</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:36</time>
<p>remember either but it was I mean it was</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:38</time>
<p>really cool because</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:40</time>
<p>when you're walking around Williamsburg</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:42</time>
<p>you don't kind of know what might be an</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:46</time>
<p>office</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:47</time>
<p>or what might be one of these homes that</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:50</time>
<p>you can stay in or a Tavern or something</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:52</time>
<p>like that yes and so the Lewis house was</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:18:56</time>

<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>

<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:19:32</time>
<p>little bit better than you because I did</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:19:33</time>
<p>all the research trying to find the just</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:19:35</time>
<p>the right place for our 15-year</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:19:36</time>
<p>anniversary so there's there's places</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:19:38</time>
<p>where you can kind of um some of the</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:19:40</time>
<p>smaller homes right and so they're</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:19:42</time>
<p>actually some of the bigger buildings</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:19:43</time>
<p>that's but that's because there's three</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:19:46</time>
<p>or four rooms right it's kind of almost</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:19:48</time>
<p>like more like a motel style they try to</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:19:51</time>
<p>mimic like a Tavern right type idea so</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:19:54</time>
<p>if you were gonna stay in a in a</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:19:56</time>
<p>colonial Tavern what would that look</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:19:58</time>
<p>like so they have some bigger buildings</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:20:00</time>
<p>that are called taverns yeah and you can</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:20:02</time>
<p>rent the rooms upstairs and stay in a</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:20:05</time>
<p>Tavern now they're modernized</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:20:07</time>
<p>to be American you know with the modern</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:20:10</time>
<p>amenities but um but it gives you that</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:20:14</time>
<p>idea yeah and so yes you can get a house</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:20:17</time>
<p>like we did you can stay in a Tavern</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:20:19</time>
<p>room you can actually stay in some that</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:20:21</time>
<p>they they label as like there's like the</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:20:23</time>
<p>oral house and then there's the oral</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:20:25</time>
<p>Kitchen yes right and so we talk about</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:20:27</time>
<p>this a little on our video that every</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:20:30</time>
<p>house or Manor usually had a kitchen</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:20:32</time>
<p>would be which would be a whole nother</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:20:35</time>
<p>Standalone structure behind the main</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:20:39</time>
<p>house it would not be connected by walls</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:20:41</time>
<p>it would have space between it and</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:20:43</time>
<p>that's because of fair fire and so what</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:20:45</time>
<p>they have done for some of these</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:20:47</time>
<p>kitchens is they have made them small</p>

<time>00:20:54</time>
<p>bedrooms if you also wanted to rent</p>

<p>those you could stay in the kitchen and</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>

<p>it's confusing because you'd be like why</p>
<p></p>
<cite>Speaker:</cite>
<time>00:20:59</time>
<p>would I want to stay in the kitchen but</p>
<p></p>
