Brothers of the Spade Correspondence of Peter Collinson, of London, and John Custis, of Williamsburg, Virginia, 1734-1746 By E. G. Swemm, Director Emeritus, William and Mary College Published by the American Antiquarian Society, Worcester, Massachusetts, 1949 Custis and Collinson Virgina 1734-1746 John Custis (1678-1749) was a prominent citizen of Williamsburg with an apparently most impressive garden. John Bartram, the Philadelphia naturalist and botanist, commented to Peter Collinson that Custis’ garden was second only to that of John Clayton, the English born Virginia naturalist of Gloucester County. Peter Collinson (1694-1768) was a wealthy English Quaker woolen merchant. He maintained an extensive correspondence with American naturalists, especially John Bartram. His famous garden at Mill Hill contained many American plants, many he obtained from both Bartram and Custis. Custis’ correspondence with Collinson, the subject of Swemm’s Brothers of the Spade, depicts both the joys and trials experienced by early gardeners in their exchange of plants across the Atlantic.
