The Place or Plaice family, was said to originate in Durham, but the "visitation of Oxfordshire, 1563-64," also lists some generations of a family in which the given names of Francis and Rowland occur.
A note on son, Rowland, said he "was the son of Francie Place, the celebrated painter of York, and Ann Williamson."
Aug 11, 1655 (Lancaster Co., Virginia Rec. Book, #2, page 104). Francis Place conveyed a tract of land formerly in Isle of Wight Co., Virginia containing 300 acres patented by him September 7, 1654, lying on the North side of the "freshes" of the Rappahanncok River about ten miles above Nazemum Town and certain cattle by deed of gift to 'My daughter Mary Place when she arrives at 18 years,' if she dies without heirs, then 'to daughter Margaret Place, my youngest daughter.'" Mary had married Thomas Powell by 1666 when they deeded this same land to James Coghill.
Francis Place who was a celebrated artist from Yorkshire living in Durham before coming to Virginia. Many of Francis Place's Pen and Ink drawings are in the Tate Collections Galleries in England and the San Francisco Museum of Art. ; He was a student of Wenzel Hollar who taught Francis to etch.
Francis Place was one of the very first British-born artists to take up landscape and topography: the accurate recording of places or buildings. First trained as a lawyer, he spent much of his life in York, and made various sketching tours of the north of England.
He often travelled on foot, and worked outdoors on the spot. This drawing, in pen alone, was surely made that way. Such activity was so unusual at the time that he was arrested as a spy, suspected of involved in a Catholic plot.
