Britton Baskerville Jr. (1863 — 1892) was an American farmer, schoolteacher and Republican Party politician who represented Mecklenburg County in the Virginia House of Delegates from 1888 to 1889.
[4][8] Upon returning to Union Level, in Mecklenburg County's Flat Creek District, Baskerville taught school and farmed.
[2] Baskerville served one term in the Virginia House of Delegates, representing Mecklenburg County, as a compromise candidate between the factions led by railroad executive and former Confederate general William Mahone and straight-out Republicans led by Ross Hamilton who supported African American John Mercer Langston for Congress (and who ultimately became Virginia's first African American congressman).
The following year, Hamilton repaired his relationship with Mahone and his supporters to win the nomination, so Baskerville returned to his agricultural and teaching pursuits.
Others included Cephas Davis, Amos A. Dodson, Ross Hamilton, Joseph R. Jones, and John Watson.
