Julius Burbridge Dandridge (ca. 1770–1828), banker, was a nephew of Martha Washington and the son of Bartholomew Dandridge and Mary Burbridge. He became the discount clerk of the Bank of Virginia in Richmond at its founding in 1804. Shortly after it was organized early in 1817, Dandridge was chosen as the cashier of the Richmond branch of the Second Bank of the United States. In 1820 the bank accused him of misfeasance and nonfeasance throughout his tenure, forced him to resign, and sued him and six of his sureties in the federal courts for the $50,000 bond with which he had guaranteed his good performance. The case was eventually appealed to the United States Supreme Court before being remanded to the Circuit Court for Virginia and settled in 1833 with a payment by at least one of the sureties. Meanwhile, Dandridge had died in Richmond after falling from “a narrow path leading along the precipice” of a ravine on 29 April 1828.
