Worth knowing that the locals were very caring and supportive of the sailors who were on the ships that wrecked in their vicinity.

It would not have been named the Earl of Chatham before 1766 (the year William Pitt the Elder was given that title).

Pittsylvania County, Virginia, was named for William Pitt the Elder. The county seat is Chatham.
