On this day 250 years ago, the Virginia Gazette reported on the destruction of the HMS Liberty:

The Otter’s tender went ashore in the night, near Hampton; a number of inhabitants boarded her next day, secured the rigging, guns, &c. and then burnt the vessel. Six of the tender’s men were made prisoners, but have since been released in consequence of some threats from the Governor.

Also on that day Dixon & Hunter’s Virginia Gazette reported

Yesterday morning John Randolph, Esq; his Majesty’s Attorney General for this colony, with his Lady and daughters, set out from this city, for Norfolk, to embark for Great Britain. General Washington has been pleased to appoint Edmund Randolph, Esq; one of his Excellency’s aids de camp.

John Randolph never returned to Virginia during his life (he would be buried in Virginia) but Edmund Randolph would succeed him as the first Attorney General of the independent Commonwealth of Virginia, then became Governor of Virginia, and the first Attorney General and second Secretary of States of the United States.
