PREFACE.

•:ooo:-

When the publication of this book wa43 commenced, the undersigned little
dreamed of the magnitude of the task, he had undertaken. Our intention at
first was to reprint Dr. Philip Slaughter's History of St. Ma^rk's Parish, to-
gether with as much revised and supplemental matter as we could gather to-
gether. Consequently, we had expected to have a book of one hundred and
fifty pages, instead of three hundred.

We have endeavored to advertise, as extensively as possible, the proposed
publication of the work, in order that all might have the opportunity of mak-
ing additions and revisions to the genealogical part of the publication. Quite
a number availed themselves of the invitation, and to them we are much in-
debted.

In a work of this kind, mistakes, in the way of omission, and some mis-
statements, are bound to occur. A work on genealogy, without such, is an
impossibility.

We have, for a number of years, comtemplated the re-publication of Dr.
Slaughter's book, but have waited, hoping to become better equipped for the
undertaking. However, thinking that a wait for such improvement, would
be in vain, we decided not to delay the publication, but to present to the pub-
lic the best that we were able to do with our present mechanical equipment,
the printing of the book being done in the Exponent office at Culpeper, a
Richmond firm doing the binding.

For much valuable assistance we received in our work acknowledgement
is made, and thanks therefor returned to Mr. Warren E. Coons, Clerk of the
Culpeper courts. Judge Daniel A. Grimsley, of Culpeper, Mr. Thomas Towles

PART FIRST,

Rev. PHILIP SLAUGHTER. D. D.

liEV. PHILIP SLAUGHTEB, D. D.

:ooo:-:

Stretching from the foot hills of the Blue Ridge luouataiiis eastward, some

thirty miles, and taking in the valleys of the Kapidan, Robertson and Rappa-
hannock rivers, lies an extensive plain. It is broken here and there by several
small mountains— miniature models of the great range to the west. This con-
stituted the colonial parish of St. Mark's, which was established in 1731, with
Robert and Francis Slaughter as its first church wardens.

The Slaughters owned large landed estates in this parish and west of
Slaughter's mountain, at the old homestead of "Springfield," was born in 1808,
Philip Slaughter, destined, many years later, to be the chronicler of this
parish and many others, as well as historiographer of the Diocese of Virginia.

His grandfather and father were both soldiers, the former commanding a
regiment at the battle of Great Bridge, the latter serving gallantly throughout
the war of independence as captain in the 8th continental regiment, and
going through the terrible campaign of Valley Forge with John Marshall,
afterwards chief justice of the United States, as his lieutenant and mess mate.

Thus was blended in the young Philip Slaughter the qualities of his great-
grandfather and uncle— the first church wardens — and those of his grandfather
and father — the soldiers— and no one who ever saw him rise to speak, could
doubt that the soldier of the Cross would have been as valiant a soldier of the
State, if such service had been his. His tall, spare figure, with a manner
which combined great personal dignity with the utmost courtesy and kindli-
ness, made him noticeable in any assemblage,and when he spoke, a voice, whose
wonderful modulations even advancing years could not affect, never failed
to fix the attention of his hearers.

Trained by the best tutors of the day, and at one of the first classical
schools, young Slaughter learned, not only to avail himself of the thoughts of
others, but to think for himself. He entered the University of Virginia the
first year of its existence, and formed one of a class of notable men, many of
them afterwards distinguished in the service of the State.

He was admitted to the bar, but in a few years entered the Theological
Seminary of Virginia, and was ordained deacon in 1834, and priest in 1835.
For some fourteen years he did most effective work in some of the important
parishes in Virginia and elsewhere. Failing health caused him to go abroad

]j

for a time in the jrears 1848 and 1849. On his return he devoted his energries
to the cause of African colonization; with wise foresight anticipating and try-
ing thus to avert the dreadful catastrophe he lived to witness.

Five years were given to this task, and to general evangelistic work. He
then returned to Slaughter's mountain, where he built a chapel on his own
land, and ministered to his neighbors and their dependents, giving his services
as a free will offering. Here he lived up to the outbreak of the war between
the States, occupying a unique position. A staunch churchman in the midst
of members of other Christian bodies, he provoked no antagonism from those
who differed with him, and by his wise and affectionate counsel and sympathy,
probably did more than any man in the State to win the respect, and often
tlie allegiance of men of every class to the church of his forefathers.

He was a man of rare gifts. Of a poetic temperament, he was fond of
literature, and master of the best writers in the English language. As a pul-
pit orator he was unsurpassed in his day, and his personal magnetism was
such that he swayed his audience "whithersoever he listed."

The "mission" of the present day with its week of continuous services and
preaching was not unknown fifty years ago. Dr. Slaughter had great pjower
as a missloner, and hosts of the careless and indifferent were brought by him
into the "way of righteousness."

In his own community and beyond, he was the trusted friend and adviser,
as well as the pastor, the adjuster of variances, and the ultimate court of arbi-
tration.

An exile from home, during the four years of war, he ministered whenever
opportunity offered to those among whom his lot was cast. In hospital and
ca^np his kindly presence carried help and solace to many a stricken body, and
many a weary soul.

And when the war was over, he came back to his devastated home — the
scene of one of its bloodiest battles— and took up his work with the strength
that was left, meeting the privations and trials of his lot with the courage of
a soldier and the loyalty of a patriot, in uncomplaining toil, as an humble
parish minister, setting a noble example of the old Roman tradition "Portuna
non mutat genus." And so the end nobly crowned his work after a life
spent in the service of his master in the land, and among the people he loved
so well, in the home of his childhood and of his ripened years, he was, in the
month of June, 1890, "gathered unto his Father's, having the testimony of a
good conscience, in the confidence of a certain faith, and in favor with God
and man." W.

THE AOTHOR'S PREFACE.

:oo:

The author believes that he was the first person who conceived the idea of
writing a history of the old parishes in Virginia upon the basis of the old ves-
try-books and registers. Thirty years ago he published the History of Bristol
Parish (Petersburg), of which he was then rector. In 1849 he published the
History of St. George's Parish, in Spotsylvania. His labors were then sus-
pended by ill-health, and he went abroad, never expecting to resume them.'
This personal evil resulted in the general good. Bishop Meade, the most com-
petent of all men for this special task, was induced to take up the subject, and
the result was the valuable work, "The Old Churches and Families of Virgin-
ia," in which the author's histories of St. George and Bristol Parishes, and
some other materials which he had gathered, were incorporated. The author,
in his old age, returns to his first love, and submits to the public a history of
his native parish of St. Mark's. The reader will please bear in mind that this
is not a general history of the civil and social institutions within the bounds
of this parish, and yet he will find in it many incidental illustrations of these
subjects. He must also be reminded that it does not purport to be a history
of Christianity in its varied forms and polities within in the lines of St Mark's.
That would open a large field, which the author has not time or strength now
to traverse. He means, therefore, no disrespect to other Christian polities and
peoples (among whom are numbered many valued friends and relatives) in
omitting all reference to them. In this respect he has followed the example of
the parish records, which are the basis of this history, and in which there is
not one word about Christians of other names, from the first organization of
St. Mark's Parish, in 1781, to the present moment. The vestry abstained in
like manner from political allusion; for while keeping up its organization and
records during the whole of the American Revolution, the only allusion to an
event which so absorbed men's minds is the following entry :— *'Capt. Richard
Yancey is appointed a vestryman in place of Major John Green, in Continental

service."

Chiirch history in Virginia may be distributed into several eras, the obser-
vation of which will make it more intelligible. The first is the Era of the
Church of England in the Colony and Dominion uf Virginia. This covers the
whole period from the first plantation of Jamestown to the American Re vol u-

vii

tion. During this period the Church was in bondage to the State, which nev-
er allowed it to organize. For political reasons it was not permitted to have a
bishop; and there were no ordinations or confirmations during the whole colo-
nial term. Candidates for orders had to make the then costly, protracted and
perilous voyage across the sea. Some of them could not pay the expense, and
others were lost at sea, while some died of the small-pox in London, which
was very fatal before the use of vaccination. The Church was not only de-
nied an executive head, but it h ad no legislature. It had no authority to pass
a law, enact a canon, or inflict a penalty, not even for the discipline of its own
ministers and members; and it never performed one of these functions.

The second Era may be called the Transition Age, during which the ties
that bound it to the State were one by one severed; and this lasted from 1776
to the first organization of the Protestant Episcopal Church of Virginia, in
1785, when it became free, although its organization was not perfected until
the election of its first bishop (Madison).

The next era may be called the Era of Decline, when the Episcopal Church
was staggering under the odiuu^ of having been an established church, which
lasted until William Meade, William Wllmer, William Hawley, Oliver Norris,
and such like, came upon the stage, and elected Richard Channing Moore, of
New York, to be their leader. Then began the Era of Revival; after a torpid
winter, an awakening spring followed by a fruitful summer.. To this season
we may apply the words of Shakspeare, but in a higher sense : —

**Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this son of YORK ;
And all the clouds that lowered upon our house.
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried'' —
While we recognize and rejoice in the good that has been done by other
Christian ministers outside of our fold, we too may be permitted to rejoice
that our Virginia Episcopal Roll is "without a blemish" ; and that their hands
have been upheld by a goodly and growing company of preachers, who have
rekindled the fires upon many an old altar where the sparrow had found her
an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, even thine altars, O Lord God of
Hosts ! my King and my God.

SUGGESTIONS TO OUR READERS.

In such an almost countless number of names and dates as occur in this
book, it must needs be that errors of the pen or of the press will creep in. If
those who detect them will kindly communicate them to the author, he will
gladly correct them in a new edition; the proposed first edition having been
ordered in anticipation of publication. If the reader will bear in mind the
following facts it will facilitate his understanding of this history. In 1720
Spotsylvania County was taken from Essex, King and Queen and King Wil-
liam, whose jurisdiction hitherto extended to the great mountains. St.
George's Parish, coterminous with Spotsylvania, was formed by the same act.
In 1731 St. Mark's was taken from St. George. In 1784 Orange was formed from

viii

Spotsylvania. In 1740 St. Thomas was taken from St. Mark's. In 1748 Cul-
peper was formed from Orange. In 1753 Bromfield Parish was taken from
St. Mark's. In 1792 Madison County was taken from Culpeper. In 1831
Rappahannock County was formed from Culpeper, and in 1838 the County of
Greene was taken from the County of Orange.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS,

Besides the acknowledgments made in the body of this work, the author
is under obligations to Isaac Winston, Jr., for volunteering to transcribe his
entire manuscript into a fair hand — a task almost as difficult as the interpre-
tation of hieroglyphical characters by Oriental scholars. I am indebted for a
like favor to Rev. Dr. Randolph, of Emmanuel Church, Baltimore, for volun-
teering to read the proof-sheets as they passed through the press; and to the
Rev. Dr. Dairy mple, the Hon. Hugh Blair Grigsby, Mr. R. A. Brock, of the Vir-
ginia Historical Society, Dr. Andrew Grinnan, of Madison, Mr. George Mason
Williams, of Culpeper, Col. Edward McDonald, of Louisville, to the gentlemen
of the press, and to many correspondents too numerous to be named, for aid
and sympathy in his work.

HIS ANCESTRY, BIRTH, MARRIAGE, ADMINISTRATION, DEATH, BURIAL, DES-

P^^HA^^.T^, AND .RELATION TQ ST. MARK'S PARISH. ,

A history 6t St. Mark's Parish in which Gov. Spotswood did not have a prom-
inent place, ^buld b6 like a portrait with the most prominent ^ feature left out.
Not only Was he a sag'acious statesman, a gallant cavalier,a brave and dashing
soldier; '15ut he Was also a devout Church of England man, ready to enter the
' -listd'a&lier champion against all comei*s, not excepting the vestries, who were
the advocates of the people's rights, and the miniature Parliaments in which
-^thef leadingfstatesmen of the American Revolu/tion were trained. He was the
largest landed proprietor within the bounds of the parish ; he founded the
first town (German na), he developed the first mines, and erected the first iron
, furnace in America. He erected, chiefly at his own expens^, the first parish
..church, and organized. and equipped, at Germanna, "The Knights of th^ Gol-
, den Horseshoe," who lirst.imssed theJBlue Ridge, and blazpd the way to the
Valley of Virginia, and ,whose whole course was witijin the limits of the origi-
. , nal parish of St. Mark's.

■Governor Spots wqod was the great-grandson, of John Spotswood, Archbis-

- hop of St. Andrew's an^ author of the History of the Ch^^ch of Scotland. His

- grandfather was Robert Spotswood, Lord President of the College of Justice,
and author of thjB '' Practicks of the Laws of Scotland," who was ope of , the
eight emip^ent lawyers ejcecuted by the Parjiaraent of Scotland,, which (accord-
ing to Sir Walter Scott) consisted wholly of Covenanters. While he was at
private prayer on the scaffold (says Sir Walter) he was interrupted by the
Presbyterian minister in attendance, who asked if he did not desire his pray-
ers and those of the people. Sir Robert replied that he earnestly desired the
prayers of the people but not those of the preacher ; for that, in his opinion,
God had expressed his displeasure against Scotland by sending a lying spirit
into the mouths of the prophets. The father of Governor Spotswood was Dr.
Robert Spotswood, physician to the Governor of Tangiers in Africa, and his
mother had been Mrs. Catherine Elliott. Dr. Spotswood died in Tangiers in
1688, leaving one son, the subject of this notice, who was born in 1676. Gov-
ernor Spotswood, '' who had been bred in the army," was aide to the Duke of
Marlborough, and was badly wounded in the breast at the battle of Blenheim.

His arrival in Virginia, says Campbell, was greeted with joy, because he
brought with him the right of Habeas Corpus — a right guaranteed to every
Englishman by Magna Charta, but hitherto denied to Virginians. Spotswood

2

entered upou his duties as Governor in 1710, and the two Houses of the Gener-
al A88emby,severally, returned thanks for their relief from long imprisonment,
and appropriated more than two thousand pounds for completing the Govern-
or's palace. Although he was, in accordance with the dominant doctrines of
his day, a strenuous advocate of the Royal prerogative in Church and State,
yet he was one of the most energetic, patriotic and farseeing statesmen that
ever ruled Virginia. He first suggested a chain of forts from the Lakes to the
Mississippi (beyond the Alleghanies) to check the encroachments of the
French; but many years elapsed before his suggestion and policy were adopt-
ed. It was he who conceived the idea of making tobacco notes a circulating
medium. His military genius and experience enabled him to wield the mili-
tia with great effect against the hostile Indians; but he was no less zealous in
the conception and execution of measures for their civilization and conver-
tion to Christianity, as the Indian school at Christanna on the Meherin river,
a*id the fund of £1000 for instructins: their children at William and Mary
College, attest. In 1739 he was made Deputy Postmaster-General for the Col-
onies; and it was he (says Campbell) who promoted Benjamin Franklin to be
postmaster for the province of Pennsylvania.

Governor Spots wood died at Annapolis, on his way to command the army
against Carthagena, and was buried at Temple Farm, one of his old country
seats near Yorktown, so named from a house in the garden erected by Gov-
ernor Spotswood as a cemetery. Dr. Shield, who bought the farm in 1884,
says, *' the walls of tire temple were then only several feet high: within them
I found heaps of broken tombstones, and on putting the fragments together,
I found the name of Governor Spotswood."

It was in the Temple Farm mansion that Lord Corn wall is met Washing-
ton and signed the articles of capitulation which secured American indepen-
dence.

There is some verbal discrepancy between the authorities about the name
of the lady whom Governor Spotswood married. Bishop Meade, upon the au-
thority of a daughter of General Alexander Spotswood, says that her name
was Jane Butler, sister of the Duke of Ormond. Charles Campbell, our pains
taking historian, says her name was Butler Bryan (pronounced Brain), daugh-
ter of Richard Bryan, of Westminster, and her Christian name was after Jas.
Butler, Duke of Ormond, her godfather. On the other hand, several of her
lineal descendants have informed the present writer that Mrs. Spotswood was
the ^daughter of Richard Brayne, " whose letters to his daughter show him to
have been a man of culture." The name of Butler Brayne has been perpetu-
ated in this branch of the family to this day, which raises a strong presump-
tion that it is the true orthography.

Since the above was written I have procured, through the medium of
Judge Barton and Capt. George Minor, of Fredericksburg, documentary proof
which settles the vexed question, in the form of a letter written by Judge Ed-
mond Pendleton for his client John Benger, the son of Dorothea (Col. Byrd's
Miss Thecky) Brayne, sister of Lady Spotswood. The letter is dated Virginia,
Sept. 8th, 1762, and is addressed to Capt.Wm. Fox, and is signed by John Ben-
ger and Edmond Pendleton, and in it is the following paragraph:—" Richard
Brayne and his wife are dead, and Mrs. Brayne's issue was four daughters,
Anne, Diana, Dorothy, and Butler. Dorothy intermarried with Elliot Benger,
gentleman, and, with her husband, is since dead, and I am her son
and heir. Butler intermarried with Major- General Alexander Spotswood, and
afterwards married John Thompson (Clerk). She is dead, and Alexander

3

Spotswood, infant, is her grandson and Jieir, and is now in England. Anne
and Diana remained in England and never married."

Governor Spotswood had four children, John, Robert Anne. Catherine,
and Dorothea. John married in 1745, Mary, daughter of Capt. Dandridge, of
the British army and had two sons, Greneral Alexander and Capt John, both
officers of the Rev^olution; and two daujjhters, Mary and Ann. John, son of
John, and grandson of the Governor, married Mary Rousee of Essex, and
had manj' children. General Alexander Spotswood, grandson of the Governor
married Elizabeth, daughter of Augustine and niece of General "Washington.
Robert, second son of the Governor, was an officer under Washington in 1755,
and was killed by the Indians. Anne Catherine (Kate) married Bernard
Moore, of Chelsea in King "William; and their daughter married Charles Carter
of Shirley, and was the grandmother of our Chevalier Bayard (sans peur et
sans reproche), General Robert Edward Lee, named after two of his uncles,
Robert and Edward Carter.

Kate Spotswood, Mrs. B. Moore, was a great beauty. The late Mrs. Dun-
bar of Falmouth, had seen her, and was so impressed by the vision, that, with
true womanly instinct, she remembered, after the lapse of many years, the de-
tails of her dress, which we reproduce for the benefit of our lady readers. It
>vas a fawn-colored satin, square in the neck, over a blue satin petticoat, with
satin shoes and buckles to match, on very small and beautifully shaped feet.
A granddaughter of Kate, now living in a green old age, savs that when she
was a little girl she saw Kate sitting up in her bed at Chelsea, comHbing her
white and silken hair, with a servant holding up a looking-glass before her.

There is a portrait of Governor Spotswood at Chelsea, and there was an-
other at Sedley Lodge in Orange (uow in the State Library at Richmond),
which the author of this historical tract had daguerreotyped. It represents
him in full dress, scarlet velvet — graceful and commanding in face and figure
— antique model of the cavalier, — the old English and the old Virginia gentle-
man, who are as much alike as father and son. "What a genealogical tree! —
with General Sir Alexander Spotswood its root in Virginia, and Robert Ed-
ward Lee its bright, consummate flower.

ORGANIZATION OF ST. MARK'S PARISH.

The Register of St. Mark's Parish, which lies before me, is the oldest manu-
script record in the county of Culpeper. The parish is older than the county
by eighteen years, the former having been established by Act of Assemby in
1730, and the latter in 1748. It is curious to note the progress of population,
and parishes and counties, from their original seats on tidewater towards the
mountains. The people went before, the parishes followed after, and the
counties completed the organization, according to the uniform policy of the
British Government to keep the Church and State in union.

In 1684 the colony of Virginia was divided by the House of Burgesses into
eight counties, or shires, as they were then called. In 1692 the old county of
Rappahannock was extinguished, and its territory distributed into the coun-
ties of Richmond on the north, and Essex on the south, side of the Rappahan-
nock River. The movement of the growing population was along the banks
of the rivers, on account of th*^ greater productiveness of the soil, and the fa-
cilities of transportation, in the absence of roads in the intervening wilder-
ness. Thus early in the eighteenth century the settlement had passed the
Falls of the Rappahannock and reached the Rapid Ann River, where a colony
of Germans had seated themselves, and Lieutenant-Governor Spotswood

had established a furnace and built a ** castle," in which he occasionally

resided.

Over the new settlement a new county and a new parish were erected in
1720. The preamble to the Act of Assembly declares that " the frontiers to-
wards the high mountains, being exposed to dangers from the Indians and the
French sejjtlements towards the west, a new county is established, bordering
upon Snow Creek up to the Mill thence by a southwest course to the North
Anna, thence up the said river as far as convenient, and thence by a line
over the high mountains to the river Shenandoah, so as to include the North
Pass through said mountains; thence down said river till it comes against the
head of Rappahannock River, and down that river to the mouth of Snow
Creek ; which tract of land shall be come a county by the name of Spotsyl-
vania, and the whole county shall be one parish, by the name of St. George."

The Act also appropriated five hundred pounds for a church, courthouse,
pillory and stocks, where the Governor shall appoint. Another clause appro-
priates one thousand pounds for arms and ammunition, to such *' Christian
tithables " as shall go to seat this county. The county of Brunswick was es-
tablished by the same law. The inhabitants were made free of levies for ten
years. The same privilege is extended to Germans and other foreign Protes-
tants, " who may not understand English readily," if they will entertain a
minister of their own.

It will be observed that the movement of couhties, parishes and people,
by way of Spotsylvania and Brunswick, was towards the northern and south-
ern passes through the '' high mountains " to transcend which and see what
lay beyond was the great problem of the day.

The Rev. Hugh Jones, one of the Colonial clergy, in his *' Present State of
Virginia," published about .1724, says: — *' Beyond Governor Spotswood's fur-
nace, within view of the vast mountains, he has founded a town called
Germanna, from some Germans sent over by Queen Ann, who are now remoced
upfarUier, Here he has servants and workmen of most handicraft trades, and
he is building a church, courthouse, and dwelling-house for himself, and with
his servants and negroes he has cleared plantations about it, proposing great
encouragement for people to come and settle in that uninhabited part of the
world, lately divided into a county."

Colonel Byrd, of Westover, on James River, an accomplished gentleman,
an adventurous tra\^ller, and inimitable humorists, visited Colonel Spots-
wood in 1732, and indites the following pleasant gossip on the occasion.

" The famous town of Germanna consists of Colonel Spotswood'd enchan-
ted castle on one side, and a baker's dozen of ruinous tenements on the other
where so many German families had dwelt some years ago, but are now re-
moved ten miles higher, in the Fork of the Rappahannock, to land of their
own. There had also been a chapel about a bow shot from the Colonel's
house, at the end of an avenue of cherry trees,but some pious people had late-
ly burnt it down, with intent to get another built nearer their own homes.
Here I arrived abour three o'clock, and found only Mrs. Spotswood at home,
who received her old acquaintance with many a gracious smile. I was carried
into a room elegantly set oflf with pier glasses, the largest of which came soon
after to an odd misfortune. Among other favorite animals which cheered
this lady's solitude, a brace of tanie deer ran familiarly about the house, and
one of them came to stare at me as a stranger, but unluckily spyin'g his own
figure in the glass, he made a spring over the tea-table that stood under it,
and shattered the glass to pieces, and falling back upon the tea table made,
a terrible fracas among the china. This exploit was so sudden, and accompa-

nied by such noise, that it surprised me and perfectly frightened Mrs. Spots -
wood. But it was worth all the damage to show the moderation and good
humor with which she bore the disaster. In the evening the noble Colonel
came from his mines, who saluted me very civilly; and Mrs. Spotswood's sis-
ter Miss Thecky, who had been to meet him, en cavalier, was so kind, too, as
to bid me welcome. We talked over a legend of old stories, supped about nine,
and then prattled with the ladies till it was time for a traveller to retire. In
the meantime I observed my old friend to be very uxorious and exceedingly
fond of his children. This was so opposite to the maxims he used to jjreach
up before he was married, that I could not forbear rubbing up the memory of
them. But he gave a very good-natured turn to his change of sentiments, by
alleging that whoever brings a poor gentlewoman into so solitary a place,f rom
all her friends and acquaintances, would be ungrateful not to use her and all
that belongs to her with all possible tenderness.We all kept snug in our several
apartments till nine, except Miss Thecky, who was the housewife of the fam-
ily. At that hour we met over a pot of coffee, which was not strong enough
to grive us the palsy. After breakfast, the Colonel and I left the ladies to their
domestic affairs,and took a turn in the garden, which has nothing beautiful in
it but three terrace walks,that fall in slopes one below another.I let him under-
stand that, besides the pleasure of paying him a visit, I came to be instructed
by so great a master in the mystery of making iron, wherein he led the way,
and was the Tubal Cain of Virginia. He corrected me a little there, saying
that he was not only the first in his country, but the first in North America
who had erected a regular furnace ; that they ran altogether on bloomeries
in New England and Pennsylvania till his example had made them attempt
greater works. He said that the four furnaces now at work in Virginia circu-
lated a great sum of money for provisions, &c., in the adjacent counties. He
told me that he had iron in several parts of his tract of forty-five thousand
acres of land, but that the mine he was at work upon was thirteen mifes be-
low Germanna. He raised the ore a mile from the furnace, and carted the
iron, when made, fifteen miles to his plantation on Massaponax. He said that
during his absence in England he had lost eighty slaves, his furnace was still
the greater part of the time, and all his plantations ran to rain. But he was
rightly served for trusting his affairs to a mathematician (Mr. (Graeme), whose
thoughts were always * among the stars.' The afternoon was devoted to the
ladies who conducted me through a shady lane to the river, and by the way
made me drink some very fine water that issued from a marble fountain. Just
behind it was a covered bench, where Miss Thecky often sat and bewailed her
virginity. The river is about fifty yards wide, and so rapid that the ferry-boat
is towed over by a chain, and therefore called the Rapidan." The Miss Thec-
ky above mentioned was evidently the sister of Mrs. Spotswood, who married
Mr. Benger, a cousin of the Governor, and from whom some of the Minors and
Frenchs of Spotsylvania are descended.

Governor Spotswood, after whom Spotsylvania was called, fixed the seat
of justice at Germanna, which was named after the German settlement. The
history of these Germans deserves further investigation. In 1717 they consist-
ed of one hundred and thirty persons, in twenty nine families, and anticipa-
ted a large accession to their number. In a petition to the Bishop of London
and the English society for the propagation of the Gospel in foreign lands,
they described themselves as very desirous of having the ministers of religion
in their own tongue, '' not understanding English well." They invoke the
aid of the Bishops in England to procure for them and ordain a young Ger-
man minister, to assist and to succeed their old pa^^tor (Haeger), now seventy-

6

five years of age, and to send with him the Liturgy of the Church of England
translated into High Dutch, which they are desirous to use in public worship.
They were exempted by the General Assembly from the payment of parish
levies. Dr. Hawks says that the parish of St. George was created for them.
This is clearly a mistake. Colonel Byrd, in the passage quoted above, says he
saw in 1732 "the ruinous tenements" which they had occupied at Germanna,
and adds that they had moved higher up to the Fork of the Rappahannock,
to land of their own, which must mean the juncture of the Rapid Ann (often
called the Rappahannock in those times) and the Robinson, which is now in
the county of Madison. I believe I was the first to suggest that there was the
nucleus of the German population in Madison county (see my history of St.
George's Parish, 1747). Bishop Meade adopts this suggestion, and refers to an
old gentleman in Culpeper who had told him that in his boyhood he had of-
ten seen the Lutherans from Madison, when they had no minister of their own,
come to Buck Run Church, in Culpeper, to receive the Holy Communion.
That old gentleman was the venerable vestryman and watchful warden, the
late Samuel Slaughter, of Western View, in St. Mark's Parish. I have initiat-
ed inquiries which I hope will throw some light on this obscurity.

In May, 1730, the General Assembly, in view of the inconveniences arising
to the parishioners of St. George's Parish by reason of the great length there-
of, divided it by a line running '*from the mouth of the Rapid Ann to the
mouth of the Wilderness Run; thence up the said run to the bridge, and thence
southward to the Pamunky River. All of the territory above that line to be
called and known as St. Mark's Parish." The same Act directs the freehol-
ders and housekepers of the new parish to meet at the new church in German-
na, on the first day of the following January, and elect twelve of the most able
and discreet persons of the parish to be vestrymen of said parish. In pursuance
of this Act, the freeholders and housekeepers did meet at Germanna on the
1st day of January, 1731, and elected Goodrich Lightfoot, Henry Field, Francis
Kirtlv (not Huntley as in Bishop Meade's "Old Churches, &c."), William Pey-
ton, James Barbour, Robert Slaughter, Thomas Staunton, Benjamin Cave,
Robert Green, Jno. Finlason and Samuel Ball. Robert Slaughter and Fran-
cis Slaughter were the first church wardens, and William Peyton first clerk.

These antique vestrymen were the fruitful germs of geneological trees which
have scatterd their prolific seeds from New York to Florida, and from Virginia
to California. This is not a rhetorical flourish, but is literally true, and could
be easily demonstated, were "tl e play worth the candle." The progress of
this narrative will furnish some suggestive illustrations of this truth.

1731. St. Mark's Parish now begins its independent career at Germanna, with-
out a shepherd to seek after the flock scattered in the wilderness bounded by
the Blue Mountains, which look so enchanting in the distance, when their
summits are lighted by the setting sun. There were three churches in the
new parish— one of them at Germanna, one in the Little Fork, and one in the
S. W. Mountain, in the neighborhood of Messrs. James Barbour and Benjamin
Cave, vestrymen. For the several years in which they had no pastor the
vestry employed occasionally the Rev. Mr. De Butts and the Rev. Mr. Purit,
two adventurers who were seeking parishes, and paid them three hundred
pounds of tobacco per sermon.

In the absence of regular ministers, the churches and chapels were served
by Lay readers, or clerks, as they were then called, whom the vestries seem to
have preferred to inefficient clergymen. The vestry went vigorously to work,
by ordering the churches to be repaired and vestry-houses built ; buying two
hundred acres of land for a glebe, of Wm. Ashley; contracting for a glebe-

house, with all the appurtenances of bams, stables, meat houses, dairies &;c.
William Peyton was made Lay Reader at the Little Fork; John McMurth had
the double office of clerk and sexton at Germanna ; and William Phillips and
Dave Cave, alternating clerks at the Southwest Mountain Chapel. The
churchwardens settled with the old vestry of St. George's and bought parish
books. The parish lines were surveyed. Zachery Lewis was chosen as their
attorney. Robert Turner was made collector of tithes. A. Chambers was en-
gaged to keep the church clean at Germanna; John Carder to do the same of-
fice at the Fork, and William Stevenson at the Mountain Chapel. Col. Waller
was employed to bring up a copy of the oaths of allegiance to the
British Crown, and of conformity to the Church of England, and the test
oath against Popery — all of which the vestry had to take. Some idea may be
formed of the state of the country, from the fact that Augustine Smith, Jr.,
was paid 200 pounds of tobacco for piloting the minister to the Mountain
Chapel, which was not far from Cave's Ford in Orange.

The vestry seem too, to have been animated by a laudable spirit of church
extension. Within two years (1733-1733) two churches and two chapels were
projected. The first church was seated on what is now the road from Ger-
manna to Stevensburg, ** convenient to the springs above Major Finlason's
path." This church, or one on the same site, was standing within the mem-
ory of men now living, and was used by the venerable Mr. Woodville. It is
called, in the vestry book, the Lower or Great; Fork Church. Mr. Spots wood,
of Orange Grove, now in his 77th year, says he remembers when the Spots -
woods, Gordons, Grymes, and Thorntons, near Germanna, used to attend this
church. The other churches were built ** convenient to the Southwest Moun-
tain road, on the first run below the chapel;" and John Lightfoot and
John Rucl£er were ordered " to pitch on the place near to some good
spring." This was the old church near Ruckersville, in the county of
Greene. Its ag^e is left uncertain in Rev. Mr. Ernest's interesting article on
St. Thomas's Parish in Bishop Meade's " Old Churches, &c." The old minis-
ter who first preached in this church, and whom Mr. Ernest could not identity,
was either De Butts or Becker; both of whom were discharged by the vestry
of St. Mark's. The first place of worship on the Southwest Mountain
was a chapel, which James Barbour and Benjamin Cave undertook ** to
have kept clean." At the chapel, De Butts preached until 1732, at which
date I find this entry in the vestry book — '^Ordered, that the Rev. Mr. De
Butts be paid 9000 pounds of tobacco for thirty sermons." In December,
1733, a new chapel was ordered, only twenty feet square, at Batley's, or Brad-
. ley's Quarter, **convenient to the best spring that Benjamin Cave can find,"
Rev. Mr. De Butts, who had been employed by the srrmon, was now dis-
charged, and St. Mark's had its first elected minister in the Rev. John Becket.

FIRST MINISTER OF ST. MARK'S.
May 11, 1733, "ordered, the Rev. J. Becket, being recommended by the Gov-
ernor and Commissary, be entertained as Minister of the Parish; and that he
receive the glebe and what is on it, and the house when finished, and be paid
as the law directs; and that he preach at the Southwest Chapel every other
Sunday until further orders." At the next vestry (1733) it was ordered that the
churchwardens oflfer the Hon. Col Alexander Spotswood the choice of a seat
for himself and family in the church on the G rmanna road. In 1730, Major G.
Lightfoot was ordered to wait on Major John Taliaferro, to bring up the sur-
plice for Germanna Church. It was also ordered that the church be painted
and tarred, and that S. Wright put four barrel Is of tar on the roof of the glebe-
house. 1735 it was ordered that **a chapel of ease" be erected* and built be-

8

tween Shawns Mountain and the Devirs Run and the river; and that Francis
Slaughter, Robert Green, and Henry Field, gentlemen, "pitch on the place
most convenient to the best spring that they can find, on one of the branches
of the run or river." Our fathers kept as close to the rivers as if they had been
amphibious, and kept as sharp a look-out for a good cool spring as Arabs do in
the desert. They had ladles chained to the church-springs, and were careful
to have good framed horse-blocks and bridle-hooks for those who went to

church KN CAVALIER.

Up to 1734-5, St. Mark's Parish was in Spotsylvania. At that date Spotsyl-
vania was divided by the line between St. George's and St. Mark's Parishes.
Spotsylvania was limited to St. George's Parish. AH- above that line, bound-
ed southerly by old Hanover county, and to the north by the Lord Fairfax
grant (the Rappahannock river), and westerly by the utmost limits of Virgin-
ia, was made the county of Orange. In 1788 John Catlett was added to the
vestry in the place of Goodrich Lightfoot deceased. The Rev. J. Becket now
came to grief for some scandalous conduct, and was discharged. In 1739 the
churchwardens were instructed to agree with Mr. McDaniel to serve the pa-
rish, or with some other minister, except mr. bbckstt. In 1738, Augusta and
Frederick counties and parishes were separated from Orange and St. Mark's,
by a line from the head-spring of Hedgeman's river to the head-spring of the
Potomac, to take effect when there were people enough in the Valley for
erecting courts of justice; and in the meantime, the people there were exempt-
ed from levies by Orange and St. Mark's. In 1740, St. Mark's was divided by a
line from the Wilderness bridge up the mountain road, to the head of Russel
Ruu; thence down the said run to the river Rapidan; thence up the Rapidan
to the Robinson river; thence along the ridge,between the Robinson and Rapi-
dan, to the top of the Blue R dge. All north of said line to retain the name
of St. Mark's, and all south of said bounds to be the new Parish of St. Thomas.
This division threw the Southwest Mountain Church and Chapel into St.
Thomas; and with them Messrs. James Barbour and Benjamin Cave vestry-
men. William Triplett and William Russell were elected to till the vacancies.
We now reach the incumbence of the first respectable minister in St. Mark's
Parish.

REV. JOHN THOMPSON.

June 10th, 1740. Under this date is the following entry in the Register: —
"At a vestry in the vestry house at the Fork : it is ordered, that the Rev.
John Thompson, being recommended by the Governor and Commissary,
we do entertain him as Minister of our parish; and that he be paid as the law
directs." Mr. Thompson was a Master of Arts of the University of Edinburgh*
He had been ordained Deacon by the Bishop of St. David's in the year of 1784,
at Westminster; and Priest in November of the same year, in the Chapel Roy-
al of St. James. It must have been very pleasant to the gentlemen of the
vestry and of the parish, to have exchanged the former disreputable incumbent
for the accomplished gentleman. It seems also to have been agreeable to one
the ladies of the parish(if one may venture to say so, after all parties have
been so long dead) ; for the new minister was not only a scholar and a literary
gentleman, but he was a very handsome man. The vestry testified their
pleasure by ordering a study to be added to the glebe- house and the widow of
Governor Spotswood presented a velvet cloth and cushion to the church in
1741; and on the 9th of November, 1742, she vowed to obey and to serve him
in the holy estate of matrimony. Governor Spotswood's castle at Germanna,
with its fair commander, did not surrender to the consummate address of the
clerical beseiger without a severe struggle, as the following letter wJJJ testify.

9 01

I pfcidtired the brif?inftl of flfife letter fi*oill Mrd'.Mu^^ay Forbes of FalinOttth, A
lineal descendant of Mr. and Mrs. Thompi^On, and i/iiblished it for the first
time in my history of St. Georpre's Parish, from whence it was copied by Bish-
op Meade in his "Old Churches and Families.*' Mrs. Spotswood's children
and connections were so opposed to the match that she begged to be released
from her engagement, and was answered thus :

Madam,—

Bv dilisrently perusing your letter, I see that there is a material p-rgument,
which I oue^ht to have answered, upon which vour strongest objection to com-
pleting my happiness seems to depend, viz.: That you would incur ye cen-
sures of ye world for marrying a person of my station: bv which I understand
that yoii think it a diminution of your honour and ye dignity of your family
to marry a person in the station of a clergyman. Now, if I can make it ap-
pear that the ministerial office is an employment in its nature ye most honor-
able, asd in its eflfects ve most beneficial to mankind, I hope your objections
will immediately vanish, yf you will keep me no longer in suspense and miserv.
hut '•onsum mate my happiness. I make no doubt. Madam, but y* ^ou will
readil V errant jt no man can be emploved in any work more honorable than what
immediately relates to the Kin&r of kings andLord of lords, and to ye salva-
tion of souls immortal in their nature and redeemed by ye blood of the Son of
God. The powers committed to their care cannot be exercised by ye erreatest
princes of earth, and it is ye same work in kind and ye same in ye design of it
with v< of the blessed anerels, who are ministeri»ig spirits for those who shall
he heirs of salvation. It is ye saine business yt ye Son of God dischared when
he condescended to dwell among men, which engages men in ye greatest acts
of doing fiTood in turning sinners from the errors of their way, and by all wise
and prudent means in Graining souls unto God. And the faithful and diligent
discharge of this holy function gives a title to ye highest degree of glory in the
next world; for they yt be wise shall shine as ye brightness of ye firmament,
and they y* turn many to righteousness as the stars forever.

All nations, whether learned or ignorant, whether civil or barbarous, have
agreed to this, as a. dictate of natural reason, to express their reverence for th'^
Deity and their affection for relierion, by bestowing extraordinary privileges of
honour upon such as administer in holy things, and by providing liberally for
their maintenance. And that ye honour due to the holy function flows from
ye law of nature appears from hence, yt in the earliest times the civil and
sacred authority were united in ye same person. Thus Melchisedech was
Kinsr and Priest of Salem, and among ye Egyptians ye priesthood was joined
with ve crown. The Greeks acccounted the priesthood with equal dignity with
kinership. which is taken notice of by Aristotle in several places of his Politicks.
Among the Tjatins we have a testimony from Virgil yt> at ye same time ^neas
was both Priest and King. Nay, Moses, who was Prince of Israel before Aaron
was consecrated, officiated as Priest in ye solemn sacrifice by which ye cove-
nant with Israel was confirmed. And ye primitive Christians always expressed
a mighty value and esteem for their clergy, as plainly appears, from ecclesi-
astical history. And even in our days, as bad as ye world is, those of ye clergy
who lived up t.o ye dignity of their profession are generally reverenced and
esteemed bv all religious and well-disposed men. From all which it evidently
appears yt in all asres and nations of ye world, whether Jews, Heathens or
rJhristians, great honour and diernity have always been conferred upon the
clenry. And therefore, dear Madam, from hence you may infer how absurd
and ridiculous those gentl emends notions are who would fain persuade you yi:
marrying with ye clergy ye would derogate from ye honour and d^'gnity of
your family, whereas, in strict reasoning, the contrary thereof would appear,
and v' it would very much tend to support the honour and dignity of it. Of
this I hope you will be better convinced when you consider the titles of hon-
our and respect that are given to those who are invested with ye ministerial
functions, as are amply displayed in ye Scriptures. Those invested with that
character are called the ministers of Christ, ye stewards of the mysteries of
God, to whom they have committed the word of reconciliation — ye glory of
Christ, ambassadors of Christ in Christ's stead, co-workers with him. Angels of
the churches. And then it is moreover declared that whosoever despiseth
them despiseth not man, but God. All which titles shew that upon many
accounts they stand called, appropriated to God himself. And therefore if a

10

pfentleman of this sacred and honorable character should be married to a ladv
thouprh of ye g^reatest extraction and most excellent personal quality (which I
am sensible you are endowed with), it can be no disgrace to her nor her fami-
ly, nor draw ye censures of ye world upon them, for such an action. And,
therefore, dear Madam, your argument beinpr refuted, you can no lonj^er con-
sistently refuse to consummate my happiness.

JOHN THOMPSON.
May, 1742.

A reconciliation was effected between Mr. Thompson and Mrs. Spotts-
wood's family some years afterwards, by the kind offices of that remarkable
man. Rev. R. Rose, who was one of Governor Spottswood's executors, and had
much to do with his estate, and with his widow and children after Governor
Spotswood's death, which happened in 1740, at Annapolis, on his way to com-
mand the army against Carthagena. Mr. Rose, in his journal speaks of hav-
ing: visited Mr. Thompson in Culpeper, as he seems to have done every other
man of note in the colony. Mr. Rose's journal, a great desideratum to anti-
quaries, and which was supposed to have been lost, was seen by Bishop Meade
in the possession of Mr. Henry Carter of Caroline, and is now in i)osse8sion of

Mr. Brock, of Richmond.*

[*Since writing the above I h.-ive been permitted by the kindness of Mr.
Brock to make the following extract from Mr. Rose's journal:]

'4746, Feb. 18, I set out for Germanna, called at Capt. Taliaferro's, lodged
at New Post.

''19th, went in the rain towards German na; met Mrs. Spottswood Dand-
ridge and Isaac Campbell, who waited for us at the Bridge quarter; got to Ger-
manna at night. 20th, spent in settling sundry accounts. 2l8t, went at night
to Major Finlason's. 22d, went to church, heard Mr. Thompson preach on the
words, "Your life is hid with Christ in God;" went to the GleV^e. 23d, settled
I hope all differences in the family, and laid a plan for preventing any. 24th,
came early to Germanna, where found Col. B. Moore and his lady; settled Mr.
Thompson's account with some others. 20th, went from New Post to see Mr.
Benger's plantation."

The next few years are rather barren of known incidents. The following

small items from the parish register serve to fill the gap. (1741) Goodrich
Lightfoot came into the vestry, took the oath of allegiance, signed the test,
and subscribed to be conformed to the doctrine and discipline of the Church
of England, in the place of Thomas Stanton, deceased. (1742) Ordered, that
notice be given in church and chapel that a vestry will meet first Monday in
March, to place a church convenient to the inhabitants of the upper part of
the i)ari8h, and that workmen come and agree for building the same. At a
vestry held in Tenant's old field, a contract was made with J. Kincaid to build
a church fiffy-eight by twenty- four feet. Benjamin Roberts is chosen vebtry-
man in place of Captain William Triplett, removed. Robert Slaughter places
a dial at the church door. (1743) Vestry contracted with J. Eve for an addi-
tion to Little Fork Church. (1744) ''Ordered, that the Rev. J. Thompson erect,
fabricate, and build (Hie.) divers additions to the Glebe house." William Peyton
is directed to view the church three times. (1745) Captain Abraham Field
chosen vestryman, in place of F. Kirtley, removed, and Philip Clayton in place
of John Catlett, deceased. (1746) B. Roberts and Coleman Brown are lay readers
at the two churches, James Pendleton at the chapel, and Thomas Dillard at
the Little Fork (1747) Robert Slaughter vestryman, in place of Major Finla-
son, deceased. Dr. James Gibbs is paid *'for doing his best to cure the widow
George." (1748) At this date Orange was divided, and the county of Culpep-
er (comprising what is now Madison, Rappahannock and Culpeper) was formed.
It was named after one of the proprietor of the Northern Neck, Lord Culpep-
er, from whom it descended to Lord Fairfax, who married his daughter. The
original county of Culi>eper covered all the "debatable land" between the

11

Crown of England and Lord Fairfax east of the Blue Ridge, and was for a long
time the subject of a very curious controversy, a synopsis of which will be
found in the next chapter.

CULPEPER COUNTY.

1748. Culpeper county begins its career on historical ground. Its terri-
tory originally embracing what is now Culpeper, Madison and Rappahannock,
was the subject of a protracted controversy, involving the title to several mil-
lion acres of land. The entire tract of land ** within the heads of the rivers
Tappahannock, alias Rappahannock, and Quirough, or Potomac, the courses
of those rivers, and the Bay of Chesapayoak, &c.," was granted at different
times, by Kings Charles I. and II., to Lord Hopton, the Earl of St. Albans,
and others, and subsequently by King James to Lord Culpeper, who had pur-
chased the rights of the other parties. Lord Fairfax, who married the daugh-
ter of Lord Culpeper, became the proprietor of this princely domain, common-
ly known as the Northern Neck. In 1705 Governor Nott, of Virginia, in the
name of the KiQg,granted 1920 acres of land to Henry Beverly, in the forks of the
North and South branches of the Rappahannock River. Robert Carter, com-
monly known as King Carter, who was Fairfax's agent, objected to the grant,
as being within the limits of Lord Fairfax's grant. The question then arose
whether the South (the Rapidan) or the North branch of the Rappahannock
was the chief stream. The Rapidan, named after the English Queen, contest-
ed the supremacy of the Indian Rappahannock. The Governor and Council
of Virginia appointed commissioners to meet those of Fairfax, and survey the
said rivers. The joint commission reported in 1706 that the streams seemed to
be of equal magnitude. In 1733 Lord Fairfax complained to the King that
patents had been granted, in the name of the Crown, in the disputed territo-
ry. Mr. Carter himself, the agent of Fairfax, had taken grants from the
Crown, to two tracts within the forks of the Rappahannock River. The King
iu council, ordered the Governor of Virginia to appoint another commission.
On the part of the Crown he appointed William Byrd, of Westover, John Rob-
inson, of Piscataway, Essex county, and John Grymes, of Brandon, Middlesex
county, Virginiai The commissioners of Fairfax were Charles Carter, William
Berkley and William Fairfax. Omitting the survey of the Potomac, as out-
side of our subject, we confine ourselves to the survey of the Rapidan. Mr.
Graeme, with Mr. Hume as assistant, was commissioned on the part of the
Crown, and Mr. Thomas on the part of Xord Fairfax, *'to survey and measure
the South Branch of the Rappahannock (the Rapidan,) from the fork to the
head spring, and return an exact map of the same, and describe all the runs
and creeks that run into it." Colonel Byrd says; — "While we stayed at Fred-
ericksburg we lodged at Colonel Henry Willis's, but kept a magnificent table
at the ordinary, and entertained all gentlemen who came to visit us, which
were many. We then went to the fork of the river, and found the North
branch to be wider by three poles and nine links, though it was objected by
my Lord's Commissioners that the South was made narrower by an island
that runs along the south shore. We carried a surloin of beef from Colonel
Carter's, and picked it as clean as a pack of wolves would those of a wounded
deer. The same gentleman furnished us with strong beer, but forgot to bring
a vessel to drink it from. However, we supplied that want with the sliell of a
poor terrapin, which we destroyed, as Henry VIII. did Cardinal Wolsey, for
the sake of his house. We then proceeded to Germantown, where Governor
Spots wood received us very courteously, and lest we should have forgotten
the battles of Marlborough, he fought them all over again, for the nine-and-

13

fortieth time. There we took the depositions of Taliaferro, Thornton, and
Russell, as follows: — John Taliaferro, prentleman, ap:ed forty-nine years, being:
summoned, saith: — '*About the year 1707 he came to live where he now lives,
above Snow Creek, nine miles below the falls, and there were then but three
settlements above his house, on the south side of the river. He had been ac-
quainted with the fork of the river above twenty-four years, and that one of
the forks was called South River until Governor Spottswood, about twenty
years a<jro, named the south branch Rapidan, and it has ever since been so cal -
ed." Francis Thornton, of Caroline, gentleman, aged fifty-three years and up-
ward8,beino: sworn, declared: — ''About thirty years ap:o he came to dwell where
he now lives, on the lower side of Snow Creek, and there were but two settle-
ments above his house, the uppermost of wbich was about four miles below
the Falls. He had been acquainted with the forks of the river about twenty-
seven yeai*s, and that one was called the South and the other the North
Branch." William RuFsel, aped llftysix yrars, beir.j? sworn saith:— ''He has
known the Great Fork of the Rappahannock River thirty-five years as a hun-
ter, and one of the branches was always called South River until he heard
Governor Spotswood name South River Rapidan, and the other river has
been called Rappahannock; that the uppermost settlement thirty years apo
was Montjoy's tobacco house, now Colonel Carter's quarter, on the north side
of the river; that he saw some posts of the house on Mott's land, three or four
miles above the Falls, which was said to have been burned by the Indians near
thirty years ago."

On the M of August, 1736, the King's Commissioners met at Williamsburg.
Major Mayo attended with an elegant map, delineating clearly the branches
of the Rappahannock up to their sources, and with copies of their field- notes.
The commissioners of the King mile their report. Lord Fairfax took the
report of his commissioners to Enerland with him, and got the matter referred
to the- Lords of Trade, to report all the facts and their opinion to the Lords of
the Committee of Council. All the reports and papers were laid before the lat-
ter. The question was argued by able counsel; and without going into fur-
ther details, let it suffice to say, that it was finally decided in favor of Lord
Fairfax; making that branch 6f the Rapidan, called the Conway, the head-
stream of the RiEl,piDa;hannock River, and the southern boundary of the North-
ern Neck;' and thus adding the original county of Culpeper to the princely plan-
tation of L6rd Fairfax. The Rapidan, named after an English Queen, prevail-
ed 6v6r the Indian Rappahannock. Queen Ann's name and reign are perpetu-
ated ih Rapidan, North and South Anna, Fluvanna, Ri van na, German na, &c.
Authorities differ as to the orthography of the name of the river in question.
Many spell it Rapid'Ann; and yet in the proceedings of the commissioners for
settling the boundaries of the Northern Neck, and throughout Henning's Stat-
utes at large, it always has the form Rapiddan or Rapidan. The decision re-
ferred to wa-s "ratified by the formal assent of the General Assembly, and by
the authority bf the highest judicial tribunals.

] 1749. William Green is chosen vestryman in the place of Capt. Robert
Gi-eeh, (ieceksedV The county of Culpeper was now honored by the presence
arid servicei^ of George Washington in the humble office of County Surveyor.
The mafriage of his brother Lawrence with Miss Fairfax made him known to
the i)roprietor of the Northern Neck, who gave him the appointment of Sur-
veyor. In 1748 he was employed in the valley of the Shenandoah. His com-
pensation was a doubloon ($7.20) a day. In the following year he was made a
])Ublic surveyor T)y the President of William and Mary College; and in the
County .Court of^Culpeper we find the following i-ecord:

18

July 20tli, 1749. ^"(ieorffe Wasbiiipfton, ^^ntlemaii, produced a connuis-
sioii from the President of William and Mary College, appointing him Survey-
or of this county, which was received; and thereupon took the usual oaths to
his Majesty's person and government; and took and subscribed tlie abjuration
oath and test, and then took the oath of surveyor, according to law."

Washington was now in his seventeenth year, and continued in office three
years. As no one had the sagacity to see the undeveloped germs of greatness
which lay hid in this unfledged youth, his daily life passed without special ob-
. servation. Had it been otherwise, we should in all probability have found, in
our old parish register, the record that he was the surveyor who laid off our
glebes and sites of churches, and ran some of our parish lines.

1750. A ''chapel of ease'' was ordered at the Little Fork, and the vestry
agreed to meet at or near the old muster-lield at the forks of the road, to
choose the site, and contract with Thomas Hrown to undertake it.

1751. Thomas Slaughter is chosen vestryman in x)lace of Robert Slaugh-
ter, Jr., removed from the parish; and James Pendleton in place of Capt. Ball,
deceased. Gabriel Jones is paid 200 pounds tobacco for attorney's fees. Dr.
Thomas Howison 1000 pounds tobacco for medical attendance on the poor, and
Wiu. Peyton 200 pounds tobacco for processioning lands.

1752. St. Mark's Parish is again divided by the Meander or Crooked Run,
falling into the Robinson River, up to Col. John Spottswood's corner on that
run, thence by his line, north 28 degrees east to Bloods worth's road, then by a
straight line to Crooked Run, a branch of the north fork of the Gourdvine
River, where the main road called Duncan's, crosses the said run, thence by
said run up to the head thereof; thence to the head of White Oak Run, thence
by that run down to the North River. All below that line except so
much as lies in the county of Orange, to be one distinct parish, and retain the
name of St. Mark's; and all above said bounds, together with so much of St.
Thomas as lies in Culpeper, which is hereby added to and made part of the

, same, by another distinct i)arish, and called Bromfield (see 0th Henning 2o().)

As this division threw Tennant's Church into the Parish of Bromfield, the

church wardens were ordered to provide benches or seats in the court-house

for the accommodation of so much of that congregation as remained iu St.

Mark's. This gives the date of the first church services held at Culpeper

('ourthouse. The churchwadens were also ordered to apply to the surveyor

to run the lines between the parishes, and Henry Field and l^hilip Clayton

were directed to attend the surveyor when running these lines. Mr. Brown

was also ordered to remove the materials for the intended chapel in the Little

Fork, and to erect a church, instead of a chapel, with them, on a ridge be-

tween Freeman's [This Freeman was the grandfather of Mrs. Waller Yager.
His father and Major Eastham came from Gloucester county, and were among
the early settlers in what is now Culpeper. Mrs. Yager's father was one of the
first members of Little Fork Church. His father owned a large body of land
there. He died in the 96th year of his age, leaving five sons and four daught-
ers.] Mill Run and the river, in the edge of Freeman's old field — the church to

be ceiled with plank instead of clApboads, and to have wainscot instead of

plain pews, in the best manner. A new church was also ordered upon Col.

Spotswood's land, near the cool spring above John Lea veil's, on or near Buck

Run. The present writer well remembers to have seen, in his boyhood, the

relics of the burying-ground of this old church, which stood in a grove upon

the hill, above and across Buck Run from the dwelling where old Capt. Moore

then resided, and Capt. John Strother now lives.

1753 to 1757. Some of the leaves of the vestry book have been torn out,

. leaving a gap in the record from 1753 to 1757. which Bishop Meade has passed

14

over. I propose to fill that gap from the folio, which is entire, and with inev-
itable inferences from other known facts. One of these inferences is, that
there was a church at Mount Pony. The ground of this inference is the fact
that an appropriation had been made for a church at that place in 1753; a.nd
one of Mr. Thompson's manuscript sermons (still extant) is endorsed as having
been preached at Mount Poney Church some years after.

The names of the following persons appear in a record before me as having
served in a^ campaign against the French and Indians about this date, viz..
Col. Robert Slaughter, Lieut.-<]lol. Wm. Russell, Capt. Wm. Brown, Capt. Jno.
Strother, Lieut. John Field, Lieut. Wm. Slaughter, Martin Nalle, Wm. Nalle,
Charles Yancey, Wm. lightfoot, Reuben Long, Thomas Slaughter, William
Robertson, Wm. Yager, Henry Gaines, Henry Stringfellow, and Wm. Roberts.
All these names have their representatives still in Culpeper, and they are re-
produced as items of interest to their descendants. Robert Slaughter, Robert
Coleman, Daniel Brown, Philip Rootes, Reuben Long, and Wm. Williams, are
spoken of as being neighbors. Dr. Michael Wallace presented an account to
the vestry for 800 pounds of tobacco, for curing Eliza Maddox. Daniel Brown,
James Spillman, and Henry Field, are credited with services rendered; and C.
Hutchens is allowed 100 pounds tobacco for grubbing the churchyard at Little
Fork.

1757. The vestry met ait the vestry-house, and the following gentlemen
were present: — Rev. Mr. Thompson, minister; Wm. Light foot, Robert Green,
Goodrich Lightfoot, Wm. Green, Jas. Pendleton, Francis Slaughter, Robert
Slaughter, Philip Clayton, Benj. Roberts and Henry Field. James Pendleton
was continued as Clerk (Lay Reader) of Little Fork Church; Nat. Pendleton,
Clerk of the Lower Church, Richard Young, Clerk of Buck Run Church, and
Wm. Peyton, Clerk of the Vestry. The churchwardens were directed to pro-
vide two new surplices and two prayer-books for the use of the parish. Col.
Wm. Green and Col. Wm. Russell were made church wardens for the en-
suing year, and Robert Easthain vestryman, in place of Thomas Stubblefield,
deceased. Divers poor and infirm persons were exempted from paying parish
levy, and appropriations were made for the support of all poor and disabled
people. Last Monday in November, 1757, vestry met at the new church on
Buck Run. H. Field reported that he had paid the quit-rents for the glebe
and church for 1755-56. Thomas Covington was paid for tarring the church,
grubbing the yard, and making the horse-block at Buck Run.

1758. Dec. 1st. Robert Eastham and Robert Green churchwardens for
the ensuing year. Thos. Slaughter and Anthony Garnett made vestrymen, in
place of Wm. Stubblefield, deceased, and Wm. Lightfoot, removed out of the
parish. James Pendleton, Sheriff gave bond and security as collector of par-
ish levy.

1759. In February, Act of the General Assembly established the town
of Fairfax, on a ''high and pleasant situation in the county of Culpeper, where
the courthouse now stands;^^ and set apart thirty acres of Robert Coleman^s
land, to be laid off into lots and streets by the trustees, Thomas Slaughter,
Wm. Green, Philip Clayton, Nat Pendleton, and Wm. Williams. This land
was held by Benjamin Davis, lessee of Coleman, who was permitted to hold
his houses, and have one fifth of his rent deducted. Hence the name of Davis
and Coleman Streets. Nov. 26th, 1750, payments were made to William Rus-
sell, R. D. Parks, J. M. Tackett, Charles Morgan, and J. Carnager, R. Wright
and Joseph Newman, for providing for certain poor persons. Thomas Slaugh-
ter and Anthony Garnett made churchwardens for ensuing year.

1761. Sept. Ist, an addition to Little Fork Church, 32 feet long and 22

15

feet -wide, was ordered. Thos. Covington, with Lewis Davis Yancey as his securi-
ty,gave his bond to build it for 100 poundsJ Nov. 1761,the usual annual appro-
priations for the poor were made. 1600 pounds tobacco were ordered to be sold
out of the depositum for cash, to pay 100 pounds to Covinfjrton for additions to
Little Fork Church. Goodrich Lightfoot and Wm. Williams were chosen
churchwardens for the ensuing year, and John Green collector.

1762. Sept. 1st, Wm. Pollard was elected clerk of the Lower Church.
An oi:der of Bromfield Parish bein^ exhibited by Ambrose Powell and Martin
Nalle, gentlemen of the vestry of said parish, to join them in the division of
the two parishes, it is ordered that the same lie for the further consideration
of the vestry. From this entry it would seem that although the two parishes
had been separated for ten years, the parish lines had not been run. Dec.
18th,1762,at a vestry at Little Fork Church the usual routine business was gone
through, and Henry Field and Benjamin Roberts made churchwardens for the
ensuing year.

1768. April 8th, Wm. Ball was chosen vestryman in the room of James
Pendleton, deceased, and Henry Field, Jr., in the place of Henry Field, Sr.,
resigned. Philip Clayton was chosen to succeed Henry Field as churchward-
en.

Dec. 19th, "Wm. Ball, and Henry Field, Jr., having in the court of Culpep-
er taken the oath to his Majesty, and subscribed the test, and in the vestry
subscribed to be conformable to the doctrine and discipline of the Church
of England as by law established, took their places as vestrymen accordingly."
The above entry is mdre circumstantial than usual, but it only describes in de-
tail what always took place when a new vestryman was qualified. Wm. Ball
and Henry Field made churchwardens for the ensuing year. 5500 lbs. of to-
bacco were set apart for repairing the Lower Church, and 3000 lbs. for paying
allowances to the poor.

1764. Nov. 19th, appropriated to Thos. Covington, in full satisfaction
for repairing the church, vestry-house, dial-post, stand and six benches, 700
lbs. of tobacco, he having already received 8500 lbs.

The Rev. Mr. Thompson having represented to the vestry that the glebe-
land of this parish is insufficient to furnish timber, fire-wood and fences, the
vestry do order that a petition be presented to the General Assembly for an
act enabling the vestry to sell the glebe and purchase another in lieu
thereof. Mr. Thompson having asked for leave to build a gallery in Lower
Church for the use of his family, the vestry consent, provided the lower part
of the gallery be above the windows and not inconvenient to any part of the
ciiurch, except the back pew, in which the stairs are to be carried up. John
(rreen and Robert Green are appointed churchwardens.

1765. Nov. 26th, the usual routine business being dispatched, the vestry
adjourned to meet at Frederick Zimmerman^s on the 17th December.

Dec. 17th, ordered, that the churchwardens agree with workmen to build
a house at Buck Run Church, and another at the Fork Church, each 12 feet
wide and 16 feet long, well framed and covered with shingles free from sap,
weather-boarded with feather-edged plank, underpinned with brick or stone 18
inches from the surface of the earth, a brick or stone chimnev to. each, sash
windows to each with eight lights of glass 8 by 10 inches, with a plank floor
above and below. We give the style of these houses in detail because they are
specimens of the vestry-houses of that day, and illustrate some other points.
James Slaughter and James Pendleton were elected vestrymen in the room of
Francis Slaughter, gentleman, deceased, and Thos. Slaughter, who had re-
moved from the parish. Goodrich Lightfoot and William Williams church-

16

wardens for next year.

. 1766. Nov. 17, Samuel Clayton chosen vestryman in room of Major Phi-
lip Clayton. Benjamin Roberts and James Pendleton made churchwardens for
next year, and appropriations for current expenses.

1767. Nov. 24th, James Slaughter and Samuel Clayton churchwardens.
Samuel Cla»ton, Jr., in behalf of the congregation of Buck Run Church, mov-
ed that R. Young be removed from being reader at said church, and said
Young is ordered to answer the complaint on the 18th of December. Jlr.
Young soon after came into the vestry and resigned. The cause of complaint
is not stated.

1768. February 23d, an addition to Buck Run Church, twenty-eight feet
wide and three feet long, sills, sleepers, posts and braces all of oak, and under-
pinned with brick or stone, is ordered: and Captain William Brown being the
lowest bidder at 11,500 lbs. of tobacco, it is let to him upon his entering into
bond with security that it be done in a workman-like manner, and finished by
October of the ensuing year.

November 23d, James Pendleton and G. Lightfoot churchwardens for the
ensuing year, and Cadwallader Slaughter appointed vestryman in place of
Robert Slaughter, deceased.

1770. Leave is given to Samuel Henning to build a gallery in Buck Run
Church at his own expense. The wardens are instructed to advertise the
glebe for sale in the Virginia Gazette, and to buy a more conv^enient site for a
glebe. The glebe was sold to Samuel Henning for one hundred and ninety-
nine pounds current money. Goodrich Lightfoot and others report that they
had viewed several tracts of land, and that Francis Slaughter's or George Cat-
lett's was the most convenient for a glebe. The vestry adjourned to meet at
Lawrence Catlett's and decide upon the site. John Green vestryman in the
room of William Green, deceased.

November, the vestry this day bought three hundred acres of the tract on
which Francis Slaughter lives (Francis Slaughter owned a large tractof land,
including the old glebe tract, near what is now called Brandy Station,) and
adjoining the land of Reuben Slaughter and Cadwallader Slaughter, gentle-
men, for 199 pounds in money and 10,000 pounds of tobacco. An overseer's
house, a quarter, a barn and a corn-house are ordered to be built on the glebe
immediately.

1771. At a vestry at Buck Run Church, French Strother, gentleman,
and John Gray, gentleman, are made vestrymen, in place of Goodrich Light-
foot and Henry Field, gentlemen, removed from the parish. Philip Pendleton
is made clerk of the vestry in place of William Peyton, deceased. Mr. Peyton
had served the vestry as clerk for forty years continuously. An addition is or^
dered to the south side of Little Fork Church, to correspond to the other ad-
dition. These enlargements of the church, new galleries and extra benches,
would seem to show that Mr. Thompson's ministry was attended by large and
growing congregations. Mr. Wp-ugh chosen a vestryman in 1772. Colonel
James Slaughter, gentleman, agreed to have the glebe-house built for 35,900
pounds of tobacco. The plans and specifications are minutely detailed in the
vostrybook. This was the glebe-house so long occupied by the reverend and
venerable John WoodviHe, and afterwards by Messrs. Glassell and Wager.
The original glebe-house was burned; perhaps some of the outbuildings may
be standing.

The glebe-house, the plan of which is described in the last cha])ter, was
built for the Rev. John Thompson; but man proposes and God disposes. Be-
fore this earthly tabarnacle was finished, Mr. Thompson was called to **a house

• 17

not made with bands, eternal in the heavens/^ After a laborious and fruitful
ministry of more than thirty years, the brave soldier of the cross laid aside his
armor and put on his crown. He was buried at the brick house near Stevens-
burg so long tenanted by the Hansbroughs, and now owned and occupied by
Dr. Grayson. By his first wife (Lady Spotswood) he had two childftren, viz:
Anne, who in her fifteenth year married Francis Thornton, of Fall Hill, near
Fredericksburg. Mr. Thompson also had a son by Mrs. Spootswood, named
William, who married Miss Sallie Carter, of Cleve. Amons: their descendants
were Commodore Thompson of the U. S. Nflvy, and many of the Thompsons
of Kentucky.

After the death of his first wife, the Rev. John Thompson married Miss
Bootes. One* of their children was the Hon. Phillip Rootes Thomp-
son, who once represented the district of Fauquier and Culpeper
in Congress, and then moved to the county of Kanhawa, where his family
was the nucleus around which was gathered the Episcopal Church and Parish
at the mouth of Coal, one of the tributaries of the Kanhawa River.

The second wife of the Hon. P. R. Thompson was a daughter of the old
patriarcl)al vestryman, Robert Slaughter, of Culpeper. Bishop Meade said of
her, **She was esteemed and loved by all who knew her, as one of the humblest
and most devoted members of the church in Virginia I have always (he adds)
felt my own sense of the Divine power and excellency of religion strengthened
by every visit to her abode. She exchanged it some years since for a better
one above."

After the death of Mr. Thompson, the Rev. Charles Woodmason was em-
ployed to do some service in the parish. This is all that seems to have been
known by our historians of this person; but I have found in ** Perry's Collec-
tion," a memorial to the Bishop of London signed by him, in which he says, —
**Through much sickness, brought on by fatigue in traversing the back part
of Carolina, I had accepted for my health the Parish of Bromfleld in Culpeper
county. Being delayed so long in waiting for a successor, Bromfield was grant-
ed away, fearing its lapse to the Governor, while I was on my way. I might
have gotten some other parish, had not the Virginians entered into resolves

NOT TO ELECT ANY MAN FOR THEIR MINISTER BUT A NATIVE OF AMERICA."

This explains the whole matter, and shows the patriotic spirit of the vestry
of St. Mark's, among whom were some persons who soon became conspicuous
in the war of "the Revolution. November, 1772, the vestry proceeded to con-
sider of a proper person to recommend to the Governor as minister of the par-
ish, when the Rev. Edward Jones, of Caroline, was unanimously nominated.
James Slaughter and John Gray were chosen churchwardens. January 6th,
1773, the Rev. Edward Jones produced his induction from the Governor, ap-
pointing him minister of this parish, agreeable to a presentation of a former
vestry, and took his seat in vestry accordingly. April 21st, 1773, the vestry
met to fix on a site for the mansion on the glebe, and finding no place where
water was convenient, agreed with Mr. Francis Slaughter for 100 acres of land
adjoining the former purchase, for the sum of 150 lbs. current money. Octo-
ber 26th, 1773, the church in the Little Fork having been burned, the vestry
met on the ground, and concluded to erect one of wood, sixty feet long and
forty feet wide, on Robort Freeman's or Peter Bowman's land. It was also or-
dered that William Williams, John Green, James Slaughter and Cadwallader
Slaughter have James Pendleton's tobacco-house repaired for Divine worship
until the church be finished. December, 1773, the vestry reconsidered their
former order and resolved to build a church of brick, eighty feet long and

• 18

•■ thirty feet wide in the clear, with twenty feet pitch, to be finished completely
in best manner by first day of November, 1776. Thirty thousand pswinds'iof
tobacco to be paid next summer, and the balance to be paid in three equal an-
nual payments.

This is the old brick church in the Little Fork which has stood for one
hundred years, the mute memorial of other times aiid other men; The walls
of this centennial church once resounded with the voices of »iree, some of
whose sons now pass by on the other side, or look coldly at the shrine where
their fathers worshipped, and speak lightly of the anthems they sung in days
of auld lang syne.

The churchwardens are ordered to let the following buildings on the
glebe-land, viz.: — A kitchen thirty-two by sixteen feet, with an inside brick
chimney with two fire-places, covered with good shingles, and boardeti
with feather-edged plank. A quarter, twenty' by 'six1!een feet covered
with long shingles, and boarded with ^ good oak-boards,, and
an inside wooden chimney. Also, a dairy and meat-house twelve
feet square, each to be done in the best . manner ; a stable twertty
feet square, of sawed logs, covered with long shingles: also, seven httti-
dred feet of sawed paling, five feet long, with sawed rails three s!q|uare. The
wardens are also ordered to let the building of a gallery in the-Lower Church.
John Green and James Pendleton are ordered to agree with Peter Bowman for
two other acres of his land, for the use of the church.

1774. Benjamin Roberts and John Grreen are appointed churchwardens
for the ensuing year. . i

1775. The vestry met to lay the parish levy,, but the inspecting law ceas-
ing, they are in doubt what method will be pursued through, this colony for
levying and collecting the. same, and, conclude to await the opinion of the
General Convention.

1776. The vestry met and proceeded to lay the levy. Robert Gaines was
made clerk of the Lower Church, in place of John Hume. It is ordered that Peter
Bowm&n be paid two pounds for one and a half acres of land for the use of the
brick church, and that Edmund Vass be paijd five pounds fpr two plans for the
brick church. The collector is ordered to pay Samual'dayton three- pounds
seven shillings and sixpence for laying off the brick church lot,- and Mrj Ball
and James Pendleton are made churchwardens for the ensuing year. Richard
Yancey is chosen vestryman in the place of John Green, in Coxtinkxtai* SBiR-

19
viCK. (This is the only allusion to the Revolutionary War in the ve^try-book.
The vestry seem to have limited themselves rigidly to their duties, and never
to have invaded the political sphere, although several of them were officers of
the army, and all sympathized with the American cause. Culpeper county
was conspicuous for the services of her sons in the old Revolution, having con-
tributed eight companies of eighty-four men each to the army. Those com-
panies were raised by the following captains, viz.: John Green, John Thorn-
ton, George Slaughter, Gabriel Long, Gabriel Jones, John Gillison, Captain
McClanahan (a Baptist preacher), and Abraham Buford. In the notes and il-
lustrations at the end of this volume will be found some interesting details up-
on this point. We return to the acts of the vestry.)

1777. Ordered, that the churchwardens advertise the vacancy of this
parish and the renting of the glebe. As Mr. Jones had not resigned, this looks
like a broad hint that his resignation would be accepted.

1778. The General Assembly having suspended the salaries of clergy-
men, the vestry met to fix on some method of paying the salaries of the officers
of the church, and recommended subscriptions for that purpose. The recom-
mendation is signed by French Strother, James Slaughter, William Gray,
Robert Green, Robert Yancey, Benjamin Roberts, Cad. Slaughter and James
Pendleton. Burkett Davenport is made vestryman in place of Wm. Williams,
deceased.

1780. February 31st, the Rev. Edward Jones this day came into the ves-
try and resigned the charge of this parish. In March the vestry met at Capt.
Bradley's, and ordered that the Sheriff collect of each tithe in the parish five
pounds tobacco, or in money at the rate of twenty-five per hundred. Robert
Pollard and Lawrence Slaughter are appointed vestrymen to fill the vacanciep.
In the ensuing April the vestry met at the glebe, and agreed to receive the
Rev. James Stevenson as minister of their parish, according to law, and Thom-
as Stanton was made lay-reader at the Little Fork Church, in the room of
Philip Pendleton, resigned. The vestry met again in December of this year,
and ordered certain payments to be mp-de to John Jameson, clerk of the coun-
ty, Henry Field, Reuben Long, Robert Latham William Terrill, and Michael
Sloane, for the oeuefit of the poor of the pirish. Lawrence Slaua^hter and Rob-
ert Pollard churchwardens for the ensuing year.

1771. Robert Coleman made collector, and ordered to collect of 1957-
tithes seven pounds of tobacco each, for the clothing, feeding, and providing
medical attention for the poor distributed among the farmers.

1782. Ordered, that the churchwardens inform the poor claimants of
this parish three months before meeting that they attend the vestry (if able)
and let their situation be known.

178^^. Bowles Armstead appointed vestryman in the room of Benjamin
Roberts, deceased.

1784. Resolved, That the churchwardens provide the goods for the poor
on the best terms they can and report the result. James Jett is appointed
clerk of the vestry, and Samuel Clayton and Robert Yancy churchwardens.

This is the last meeting of the vestry recorded in the old register, which
began in 1730. This gap in the record of the parish can only be filled with a
general outline of its history, which must be gathered from many scattered
sources. Rev. James Stevenson probably continued to be the minister of St.
Mark's Parish until he exchanged places with Mr. Woodville, the former going
to Fredericksburg and the latter coming to Culpeper.

THE ORGANIZATION OF THE CHURCH IN VIRGINIA.

1785. The Episcopal Church in Virginia had its first legislative council.

20.

. J;

For 175 years it had been in bondage to the Crown and Parliament of Great/
Britain. For political reasons it was not allowed to have a Bishop, nor to '
make a law for its own government, pr for the discipline of its ministers and ,
members. One of its flrst acts aftjer becoming free, was tp meet in convention
and frame a constitution and code of discipline. Mr. Stevenson, ^^ith James
Pendleton, lay deputy, reprebented St. Mark's in the Convention of 1785. One
of the first acts of the Church, when free, was to divide the State into districts,
the ministers in each district forming a " Presbytery. " To supply, in some
measure, the place of a Bishop, a clergyman was appointed to visit each disj/
trict and to preside in its presbytery. Mr. Stevenson was made visitor of the
district composed of the parishes of St. Mark's, St. George's, Bromfield, and
Berkley. In 1786 St. Mark's was represented only by Robert Slaughter, lay
delegate. Mr. Stevenson was the minister of Berkley Parish, Spotsylvania,
in the interval between 1768, when he was licensed- for Virginia, and 1780, when
lie took charge of St.. Mark's Parish. Cpl. Taylqr, of Orange, in his diary of
1787, says: — " I went to James Taylor's to the marriage of Thomas Barbour .
and Jane Taylor bv , the REy. James Stevenson," and in 1788 he says:—
* 'Thomas Barb ours son was baptized and named James Taylor."

In January, 179^, he was electedsby the unanimous vote of the people as-
sembled at the market-house in Fredericksburg. It was during his charge of:
St. George's that those two institutions which have done so much good, the
male and female charity schools, were instituted. ,

In 1799 Mr. Stevenson preached the annual sermon in behalf of these
schools,. whose pupils were required to go to church and be catechised by the
minister, foi; which t^e teachers were bound ^o, prepare them. In 1803 he ,
preached an appropriate discou;r8e on the anniversary of St. John th^ Evan-*'
gelist, before the Masons of Fredericksburg. Soon after he • was confined by a
protracted illness in Culpeper, from which he nevpr sufficiently recovered to
resume his ministry. The following correspondence will explain the occasion
of his resignation:

FRANCES STEVENSON.

Mr. Stevenson married Miss Littlepage, a lady of fine intelligence and cul
ture. The Hon. Andrew Stevenson, who was Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives and Minister of England, and the late Carter Stevenson, were his
sons. The Hon. J. White Stevenson, late Governor, and present Senator in
Congress from Kentucky, is his grandson. Mr. Stevenson survived his resig-
nation of St. George's several years, and departed this life June, 1809. The
following brief item from the Virginia Argus furnished the only intelligence
we have of the event: **Died on Friday in Culpeper after a tedious illness, the
Rev. James Stevenson, a gentleman much and deservedly esteemed by an ex-
tensive acquaintance."

Since the foregoing pages were written we have received from Dr. Payne,
of Tennessee, some valuable illustrations of the lives of his grandfather Wood-
ville and his great-grandfather Stevenson. Of the latter he says he was an in-
valid in his last days, having been stricken by paralysis, and was the guest of
Mr. Wcodville at St. Mark's glebe. Your father, he adds, Capt. P. Slaughter,
was one of his vestrymen, and gave me many interesting incidents of his pri-
vate life. His last family residence was Hopewell, near Fredericksburg, where
the Hopewell nursery now is. His library was bought for a mere trifle by a
gentleman of Fauquier, who designed returning it to the family, but died be-
fore fulfilling his purpose. The following is a copy of his letters of ordination
(now before us,) engrossed on parchment:

Be it known unto all men by the presents, that w(*, Richard, by Divine
permission. Bishop of London, holding by the assistance of Almighty God a
special ordination on Thursday, 29th of September, in the year of our Lord 17-
68, being the feast of St. Michael the Archangle, in the chapel of our Palace in
Fulham in Middlesex, did admit our beloved in Christ, James Stevenson, (of
whose virtuous and pious life and conversation, and competent knowledge and
learning in the Holy Scriptures, we were well assured) into the Holy Order of
Priests, according to the manner and form prescribed and used by the church
of England; and him, the said James Stevenson, did then and there rightly and
canonically ordain a Priest. He having first in our presence and in the form
of law taken the oaths appointed by law to be taken for and instead of the
oath of supremacy, and he likewise having freely and voluntarily subscribed
to the 39 articles of religion,and to the three articles.contairied in the 36 canon.

In testimony whereof, we have caused our Episcopal seal to be hereunto
affixed. Dated the day and the year above written, and in the fifth year of
our translation.

On the mitred seal appended is inscribed the seal of Richard Terrick, Bish-
op of London, 1764.

Among the documents sent by Dr. Payne is an original Thanksgiving ser-
mon preached by Mr. Stevenson at Mattapony Church, Berkley Parish, Spots-
ylvania, on Thursday, 13th of November, 1777, on the occasion of the surren-
der of Burgoyne's army. In outward form the sermon is a curious relic of by-
gone days. It is about four inches long and six inches wide. It consists of
nineteen pages, with only nine lines on each page. In point of sentiment and
literary execution it is excellent, and gives us a pleasing illustration of the
piety and patriotism of one of our old colonial ministers.

REV. JOHN WOODVILLE.

In the progress of our narrative we have reached in Mr. Woodvillo a link
between the two centuries, overlapping several generations. There are those
now living who remember his antique face and form. Patriarchs who were

33

once his pupils still linger on the horizon. Many survive upon whose brows he
poured the water of holy baptism; some whom he visited in sickness, and to
whom he administered the holy communion; and there are hundreds for whose
fathers and mothers, grandfathers and grandmothers, he performed all these
offices, consigning them at last to the tomb in the burning words of our grand
old burial-service. His official advisers, those venerable vestrymen, Robert
Slaughter, of *The Grange^'; Peter Hanshrough, of "Coal Hill"; Champ Car-
ter, of "Farley"; John Jameson, Clerk of the County; William Broadus; Sam-
uel Slaughter, of "Western View"; John Thom, of "Berry Hill"; Isaac and
Walter Winston, of Auburn, with whom he took counsel and walked to the
house of God in company, are all gone. The parish register, in which were
recorded his official acts, and which, like the old register we have been follow-
ing, would have been such a fruitful source cf information for the illustration
of the history of the parish and county, cannot be found. We are therefore
limited to the few facts scattered through the extant journals, and the memo-
ries of living men, for materials to construct a meagre skeleton of his admin-
istration.

Mr. Wood vi lie having been a teacher, with a boarding school under his
charg ?, could not always attend the conventions, which were held in Rich-
mond, the horse being almost the only mode of locomotion in those days. Mr.
Woodville, who married a daughter of the Rev. James Stevenson, succeeded
him as minister of St. Mark^s. Mr. Woodville, like Mr Stevenson, was elected
minister of St. George's Parish by a vote of the people assembled in the mar-
ket-house in Fredericksburg. The vote was ninety-six for Mr. Woodville and
thirty-four for Rev. Thomas Davis, whereupon Mr. Woodville was proclaimed
by the senior warden, Mr. Day, to be duly elected. In the Virginia Herald of
that date we find two brief notices of him. In June, 1792, he preached a well-
adopted discourse before the Masons. In a poem of the day, written by a min-
ister apologizing for levity of conversation with which he had been roproach-
ed, occur these lines:

"Deny him not those aids within his reach;

But let me laugh, and modest Woodville preach."

Mr. Woodville was Professor of the Humanities in the Fredericksburg
Academy when Gilbert Harrow was Professor of Mathematics. These gentle-
men were required to be examined by Bishop Madison in the classics and in
the sciences. It is probable that Mr. Woodville si)ent some years in teaching
before he was chosen as minister of St. George's Parish, as I find in the diary
of Colonel Frank Taylor, of Orange, under the date of 1789, the following en-
try: "Mr. Woodville preached to a large congregation on Sunday at Orange
C. H., and he preached to a much larger one on the Sunday before at Pine
Stake Church, near Raccoon Ford."

In 1791 St. Mark's was represented in Convention by David Jameson as
lay delegate, in 1796 by Mr. Woodville and Robert Slaughter; in 1797 by J.
Woodville and John Jameson; in 1805 by William Broadus; in 1812 by J. Wood-
ville and Robert Slaughter; in 1814 by William Broadus. The Convention ap-
pointed Robert Slaughter, Peter Hansbrough and Garland Thompson to col-
lect funds in Culpeper for resuscitation of the church. In 1815 J. Woodville
represented St. Mark^s Parish, and the Rev. William Hawley and Samuel
Slaughter represented St. Stephen's Church, which is the first appearance of
the latter upon the record.

And now a new era begins to dawn on the church in Virginia. The black
cloud of desi)air is spanned by the bow of hope. The Good providence of God

28

sent Bishop Moore to lead the "forlorn hope," and never was there a man bet-
ter fitted for the special crisis. Baptized with the Holy Ghost and with fire,
his heart was a fcnshing spring of emotion, which overflowed his eyes, and
sfcreamihg from his eloquent tongue and trembling hands, melted his hearers
to tears. He wept over the ruins of the old churches and the scattered sheep
without a shepherd, like the lamentation of Jeremiah over the desolation of
Zion.

In St. Mark's Parish the first fruit of this new movement was St. Stephen's
Church at Culpeper C. H., and its first heralds were Rev. Wm. Hawley and
Mr. Samuel Slaughter, all making their first appearance on the record in 1815.
There is no record that I can find of the building or consecration of St. Steph-
en's Church. It connects itself with history at this point, but when and how
it came into being has eluded all my researches in print and in the memories
of living men.

Bishop Moore reported having visited Culpeper during the past year, and
confirmed sixty persons: This was the first and the largest confirmation ever
held in the parish. In August of this year Bishop Moore preached in four
places in Culpeper, and confirmed eighteen. He also reports having ordained
Mr. Hawley to the priesthood. Mr. Hawley was elected a delegate to the
General Convention. He extended his labors to Orange C. H., and after a
ministry of two years he was called to St. John's Church, Washington, where
he spent the remainder of his days, beloved by all men. Of his ministry in
Culpeper and Orange, Bishop Meade said he ** preached and labored with
much effect." And Rev. Mr. Earnest, in his sketch of St. Thomas, Orange,
says:— -When Mr. Hawley began his labors in Orange the Episcopal Church
had wellnigh died out. But three or four communicants remained. Under
his ministry there began to dawn a brighter day for the Church. Some of
the communicants added by him still remain. During Mr. Hawley's adminis-
tration Bishop Moore made his first Episcopal visit to Orange, and preached
with great effect, and administered the rite of confirmation to a goodly num-
ber. It was the first confirmation ever held in St. Thomas's Parish. Among
the goodly number was the aged mother of President Madison, who had never
before had p-n opportunity of ratifying her baptismal vows. The ministry of
Rev. Mr. Hawlejr was evidently blessed in this parish ; but having been called
to a larger field, he took charge of St. John's Church, Washinjfton, which
soon became a centre of much influence. In the course of Mr. Hawley's min-
istry there he numbered among his parishioners many Presidents of the Uni-
ted States, and other persons of the highest social and political position, be-
fore whom he went in and out for more than a quarter of a century, ** an Is-
raelite indeed in whom is no guile." He was among the originators and most
earnest supporters of our Education Society, and of the measures which led to
the establishment of our Theological Seminary. Of the tributes to his memo-
ry by Dr. Tyng and others, one of the most loving was by the Rev. Dr. Lawrie,
of the Presbyterian Church between whom and Mr. Hawley there prevailed
an intimacy like that between Bishop Johns and Dr. Hodge, of Princeton, and
between the Episcopal Buchannon and the Presbyterian Blair, of Richmond.
When the prayers for the sick were read at the bedside of Mr. Buchannon, he
said, with childlike simplicity, **Pray for Blair, too " There is an anecdote of
Mr. Hawley among the traditions current in Culpeper which, whether true or
not, is too good to be lost. The story is that Mr. Hawley wore ruffles on his
shirt-bosom, as was common among gentlemen of that day, and that some la-
dies, asked him to have them removed, as they were thought not becoming a
clergyman. To this he gracefully assented. But he wore whiskers also, and

24

was told that these were an offence to the weak brethren. To this he is said
to have replied, with a gleam of mischievous good-humor playing on his face,
"Oh no! ladies. I must keep my whiskers to save my ears."

In 1817 St. Mark's Parish was represented by the Rev. Mr. Woodville and
Wm< Broadus, and St. Stephen's Church by Samuel Slaughter and Isaac
Winston. In 1818, the same lay delegates, St. Stephen's is reported without a
minister, notwithstanding most strenuous eflforts to get one. In 1819 St.
Mark's was represented by Col. John Thom, who reported twenty-five bap-
tisms, four marriages, nine funerals, and forty-five communicants, five of
whom were additions since the last convention. In 1820 the Rev. Herbert
Marshall came to Culpeper and took charge of the school at Capt. Philip
Slaughter's, of which John Robertson, fche father of Judge Robertson of Char-
lottesville, and the Rev. Samuel Hoge, father of Dr. Moses Hoge of Richmond,
had been masters. Mr. Marshall was ordained Priest by Bishop Moore at Wal-
ker's Church in Albemarle, and officiated very acceptably for several years as
pastor of St. Stephen's Church. His name only occurs in 1822 in the Journals
of the convention, with Wm. M. Thompson, father of present Secretary of the
Navy, as lay delegate. His wife was the sister of the present venerable presid-
ing Bishop. His brief and promising ministry was cut short by ill-health and
a premature death. He, like Mr. Hawley, officiated at Orange C. H.

Mr. Woodville continued his modest ministry as rector of St. Mark's, offici-
ating chiefly at the Lower Church and at the Little Fork, and occasionally at
Stevensburg and the Courthouse; but St. Stephen's Church seems to have
been in a state of suspended animation, until it was revived by the coming of
the Rev. G. A. Smith in 1826. Mr. Smith having been in charge of Christ
Church, Norfolk, and finding it a too heavy burden for his delicate health,
came to rusticate and to renew his strength in this Piedmont parish. His
name appears in the convention journal as representing, with Samuel Slaught-
er, St. Stephen's Church, and with Peter Hansbrough as delegate from St.
Mark's Parish in 1827. Prom that time till 1880 Mr. Smith officiating alternate-
ly at St. Stephen's Church and at Orange C. H., with occasional ministrations
at Stevensburg and elsewhere. He established a Bible class, and societies in
aid of mission and other Church charities. He gave an onward impetus to the
church, reporting an accession of nine members by confirmations in 1828; and
Bishop Meade reports eleven confirmations, in 1830, when Mr. Smith, from
physical infirmities, resigned his charge, an event deeply deplored in the re-
port of the lay delegate, Dr. Winston, to the next convention.

Mr. Smith is one of those mysterious instances, so trying to our faith, of a
man thoroughly furnished for the work of the ministry, and with an eye so
single to the glory of God, and yet, for the want of organs through which to
reveal the light that is in him, has passed much of his life in the shade, com-
paratively unknown and unsung.while men of far feebler powers and scantier
furniture, but with stronger physique and more self-assertion, have worn the
mitre and yielded the sceptre of infiuence. But he has not lived in vain. As
editor of the Episcopal Recorder and of the Southern Churchman, and master
of the school at Clarens, he has make his mark and will leave his^impression
upon many minds. He still lives, the patiiarch of our alumni, and the fitting
president of their society. May Providence prolong his years; that though
his voice be hushed, the graces of his daily life, like angels trumpet-tongned,
may plead the cause he loved so'.well. In this brief tribute I have departed
from a rule laid down by Bishop Meade, and which I have prescribe d to my-
self, not to^sound the praises of living men, leaving that to those who may
come after them and see their end. But as the case is unique, this single ex-

25

ception must prove the rule; which by the way, Bishop Meade did not always
follow himself.

In 1831-32, Isaac Winston and P. Slaughter, Jr., represented St. Stephen's
Church. Mr. Woodvilie, though ot present, reported St. Mark's Parish as
gradually improving, the congregations as visibly increasing, and there being
in many persons a greater anxiety to encourage "pure and undefiled religion.''
In June, 1832, the Rev. A. H. Lamon took charge of St. Stephen's Church in
connection with Madison C. H.; and in 1833 he reported an accession of eight
communicants to St. Stejjhen's, and twenty four at Madison, to the six whom
he found there. In reference to the revival at Madison, Bishop Meade said: —
*'We had services four times a day for three days. It was a joyful season for
the church at Madison. Fifteen months before, I scarcely knew a place which
promised less to to the labors of a minister of our church. At this visit I con-
firmed twenty- three warm-hearted disciples of Christ, and saw a new brick ed-
ifice rising for their place of worship. Uod had signally blessed the preach-
ing of his word by ministers of different denominations. He had sent to our
communion an hunble and faithful man, who, going from house to house, in
season and out of season, was the instrument of gathering an interesting lit-
tle band, with whom I spent some of the happiest days of liiy ministry. I al-
so admitted their minister Mr. Lamon to Priest's orders."

In 1834 Mr. Lamon reports the addition of eight persons to the communion
of St. Stephen's, the establishment of the scholarship in the seminary, and
measures for the purchase of a parsonage, and the permanent establishment
of a minister among them. Bishop Meade, in his report of 1834, said: — '*Onthe
4th September, 1834, I preached to a large congregation, and confirmed eight
persons at the Little Fork in Culpeper. The congregation^ was then, and had
been for a long time, under the care of the Rev. Mr. Woodvilie. At this place he
most conscientiously and patiently met with his people for many years; here
had I often met him in my travels during the last twenty-two years, and here
it was that I saw him on the occasion just mentioned for the last time. Prov-
idence has removed him from a scene of sincere obedience on earth to one of
glorious enjoyment in heaven. He has left an affectionate family to mourn
the loss of a kind husband and tender father, and many friends to cherish,
with sincere respect, the memory of a conscientious Christian." Such was the
tribute of the evangelical Wm. Meade to the childlike John Woodvilie, and it
does as much honor to the author as it does to the subject of his praise. It is
too common in these days of cant to disparage these old-time Christians, be-
cause their religion was not in oar style. Such censures are as irrational as
it would be to find fault with an antique statut because it is not arrayed in
modern fashionable costume, or to disparage St. James because he did not
give the same prominence to the doctrine of justilication by faith as did St.
Paul, but presented chiefly the moral phase of the gospel — there being in
truth, no more incongruity between the doctrines and the morals of Christi-
anity than there is between the root of a tree and its fruit.

Mr. Woodvilie left a son. the Rev. J. Walker VVoodvJUe, who for some
years followed in the footsteps of his father. He was a good and guileless
man. His other son, James, was a lawyer in Botetourt, and Woodvilie Par-
ish perpetuates the name. Of his wile and daughters, Fanny and Sarah,
Bishop Meade said, '' I do not expect to meet i)urer spirits on .this side of
heaven." The sainted women, I learn from their relative, Senator Stevenson,
of Kentucky, both died in Columbus, IVlississippi. Dr. J. \V. Payne, a promi-
nent citizen ot Teiniessee, a grandson of Rev. John Woodvilie, and a great-
grandson of the Rev. Mr. Stevenson, is i)ror>ably the owner of the fainily rei-

26

ios and traditionary mementoes of his ancestors of St. Mark^s. Mr. Woodville
was buried at Fredericksburg, with .the service of the church and of his broth-
er M.xbons, on the 10th of May, 1884. He desired, says Dr. Hugh Hamilton, to
be laid near the body of Mr. Littlepage.

Dr. Payne has also furnished me with some very pleasant reminiscences
of his grandfather Woodville, and enables me to supply what was wanting in
the foregoing sketch of Mr. Woodville. Dr. Payne was bom at St. Mark's^
glebe, and educated and fitted for college by his grandfather. In his boy-
hood he used to attend him in his visitations, ^* carrying the communion ser-
vice in his saddle- bags,'' after the death of Mr. Woodville's body-servant,
''Uncle Jim." He speaks plaintively of the old churches in the Little Fork & Big
Fork(Lower Church.)Of the latter he says it was a plain structure of wood. The
gallery (called Lady Spotswood's gallery) was in ruins. The only thing of
taste about the church was a marble baptismal font, the gift, he thinks, of
Mrs. Spotswood, and the monument of Mr. Dowman. He had seen the com-
munion administered by Mr. Woodville to old Robert Slaughter and old "Un
cle Jim," and perhaps sometimes to one other servant belonging to some
Episcopal family. On such occasions he sometimes omitted the sermon, but
never a word of the service. Of the old brick church in the Little Fork, he
says the long, square, high-backed pews, the sounding-board, the pulpit,
reading desk and clerk's stand, its transverse aisles, its chancel in the east,
the Lord's Prayer and Ten Commandments elegantly painted upon the com-
munion table, carried yon back to a past generation. The congregations here
were generally large; and there were many Episcopal families in the neighbor-
hood — Gen, M. Green, the Porters, Picketts, Farishes, Wiggintons, Freemans,
Spilmans, Withers, Paynes, &c. But you had to see it filled, when the
Bishops came, to conceive what it was in days of old. '* I hope," he adds, "it
was spared during the war, for I saw at that time in the newspapers that a
sermon was found beneath the pulpit, preached near fifty years ago by Mr.
Woodville, * whose classic elegance,' &c., surprised its captors."

From the same authority we learn that Mr. Woodville was bom at White
Haven, Cumberland County, England, in 1763, came to America in 1787, lived
as tutor in the family of Rev. J. Stevenson, who sent him with commendatory
credentials, and a letter from the Rev. Mr. Scott, Principal of St. Beno School,
and testimonials countersigned by the Bishop of Chester, to the Bishop White
who ordained him Deacon on the 13th, and Priest on the 25th of May, 1788, in
Christ Church, Philadelphia. He took charge of the Academy in Fredericks-
burg in 1791, and of the church in 1792, became Rector of St. Mark's in 1794,
and spent the remainder of his life at the glebe. He was a great sufferer in
his last years from dropsy of the chest, but never murmured. He spoke of
his death with perfect composure, saying that his only reliance for salvation
was upon the merits and righteousness of Christ; often saying in his last ill-
ness, I DIE HA.PPY. His last words were " God bless you all." (See obituary
in Episcopal Recorder, January 25, 1834.)

On the fiy-leaf of his wife's devotional manual are the following lines:

His mind was of no common order, and under the immediate and habit-
ual influence of the strongest religious principles; such was my dear and ever
lamented husband. SARAH WOODVILLE.

GiiEBK, March 8th, 1834.

The following is the inscription on his tombstone: — " Underneath, the
body of John Woodville, a true believer in the Holy Scriptures, an earnest
minister of the Protestant Episcopal Church, a diligent and faithful teacher

27

of youth, a meek, contented sojourner on earth, a pious probationer and hum-
ble candidate for heaven. In Anglia natus die Martii undecimo MDCCLXIII;
obiit Virginia undecimo die Januarii MDCCOXXXIV."

His wife, Mrs. S. S. Woodville, died at Buchanan, Va., April 6th, 184S,
calm in mind and pure in heart, meekly resigned to the will of heaven, at
peace with God, and in charity with the world.

Thus lived and died the last Rector of St. Mark's Parish. Other churches
with other pastors, had sprung up and flourished within his cure. He bade
them all " God speed'* but we note that in his private diary he called them
all cliapels.

Among the many early pupils of Mr. Woodville were the Hon. Andrew
Stevenson and the Rev. George Hatley Norton, Sr. Of the latter, Mrs. Wood-
ville was often heard to say, '* He was the best boy ever in the school." He
was a Virginian, but lived most of his life, and died in Geneva, New York.
He was the father of Dr. Norton, the great church- worker of Louisville, Ken-
tucky, and of Dr. George H. Norton, the able and efficient Rector of St. Paul's
Church Alexandria.

REV. JOHN COLE.

Mr. Cole was born in Wilmington, Delaware. He conceived the idea of
studying for the ministry in 1833, and after concluding his course in the Theo-
logical Seminary of Virginia, was ordained by Bishop Moore, in Petersburg,
on the 18th of May, 1S38. He preached his flrst sermon at the Lower Church,
in Surry county, Virginia, on the 38rd of May of the same year. He spent
the first two years of his ministry in missionary work in Surry and Prince
George, endeavoring to revive the tires upon the altars of the old churches,
which had nearly gone out. From a diary of his ministry I infer that he was
diligent in preaching the Gospel in the pulpit and from house to house, in efs-
tabiishing Sunday schools, and such like good works. He preached his last
sermon in this county, January 16, 1880, at Cabin Point. Soon afterwards he
took charge of Abingdon and Ware Parishes, in the county of Gloucester,
where he ministered usefully until 1836, when, with a view of seeking a more
bracing climate he resigned his charge.

The author of this history, being then rector of Christ Church, George-
town, D. C. was visited by Mr, Cole, and advised him of the vacancy of St.
Stephen's Church, Culpeper. I being about to go to Culpeper to solemnize
several marriages, introduced Mr. Cole to the people of St. Stephen's, by
whom he was invited to fill the vacancy. He accepted the invitation, and
took charge of St. Stephen's in conjunction with two churches in Madison
county. In 1838 he made his first report on his new field of labor, reporting at
St. Stephen's thirty female and five male communicants, af Madison Court-
house twelve communicants, and at Trinity twelve. Of the last he says
quaintly :— " This church is significantly called a free church, which, in coun-
try parlance, means free to everybody and everything, for winter and summer,
snow and storm, heat and cold." His services, he adds, in these parishes, in-
cluding Standardsville, are twelve sermons a mouth, besides a Bible class, a
lecture, and prayer meeetings weekly. Rev. J. Walker Woodville, in the same
year, reported seventeen communicants of St. Mark's Parish.

In 1840 Mr. Cole resigned the churches in MaHison to Rev. Mr.. Brown, and
took charge of the new congregation of St. James, Culpeper. In 1841 the St.
James congregation applied for admission into the Convention. The Conven-
tion reported against the application, as not being in conformity witli the re-
quisitions of the canon. The report was recommitted to an enlarged com-

S8

mittee, and Dr. Winston and Dr. Hamilton came before them and testified
that " St. Mark's for several years had not been in an organized state, but
had gone into decay, and that the canon coald not be complied with." Upon
this testimony St. James was admitted as a separate congregation. Mr. Cole
reported thirty commanicant43 at St. Stephen's and eleven at St. James, with
a neat and comfortable church ready for consecration. In 1S42 St. James was
reported as having been consecrated by Bishop Meade, who had also confirm-
ed twelve persons. The commanion at St. Stephen's, after rising to fifty-three
in 1845, fell to thirty-one in 1847; while at St. James it arose from fifteen in
1843 to twenty-seven in 1848. In 1849 Rev. Walker Woodville reports St.
Mark's with regular services at Little Fork, Flat Run, and the Germanna
woolen factory, which probably were the only Episcopal services at German-
na for one hundred years. In 1850 Mr. Cole reports the completion of the
** Lime Church " (St. Paul's), at a cost of only about $1000.

In 1859 Mr. Cole resigned St. James Church, that it might be united with
a new church in Fauquier. In 1850 the communicants at St. Stephen*8 had
risen to fifty-three, and those at St. Paul's to twenty-seven. In 1869 R. H.
Cunningham, lay delegate, represented St. James, and reported a parsonage
as being in progress there. In July of the same year Mr Mortimer a student
at the seminary, began lay reading at St. James. S. S. Bradford represented
St. Stephen's and P. P. Nalle St. Paul's, which latter applied for admission
into the Convention as a separate congregation for the third time, as they al-
lege. Mr. D. Conrad, for the committee questioned the constitutionality of
establishing separate congregations in one parish, with the power to elect lay
delegates, as destroying the equilibrium between the clergy and laity in Con-
rention; but having been assured by Mr. C. and the petitioners that the con-
gregation be admitted as a parish, and intended so to make application, the
committee recommend that the said separate and petitioning congregation be
admitted as a parish, to be called St. Paul's Parish, in the county of Culpep-
er, according to the boundaries set forth in said petition. This report does
not seem to have been voted upon, and is not found in the record ; yet in 1861
Mr. Cole reports St. Paul's Church in St. Paul's Parish. In 1862-3 there
were no Conventions. In 1864 none of the Oulpeper churches were represent-
ed. In 1865 Mr. Cole reports St. Stephen's and St. Paul's churches in St.
M ARK'S Parish. ! fin 1866 St. Paul's is reported as having been destroyed ; but
in 1868, the last year of Mr. Cole's life, he again reports St. Paul's Church in
St. Paul's Parish, as having been rebuilt by the generosity of a Virginian
by birth (Mr. John T. Fari8h),but residing in New York. The new St.Paul's was
consecrated by Bishop Whittle Nov. 8th, 1833. It is impossible now to unrav-
el this tangled skein of facts. In 1869 there is no report, and in 1870 St. Paul's
Church reappears in St. Mark's Parish, and we hear no more of St. Paul's
Parish.

But we have anticipated the chronological order of our narrative, and
must return to 1881, when Mr. Mortimer reports St. James Church, St. Mark's
Parish, with twenty-eight communicants and the contribution of $3000 for a
parsonage. Mr. Cole reports in the same year the enlargement of St. Stephen's
church edifice, with a steeple of fine proportions, as-i a' fine-toned bell, at a
i^ost of $2500, nearly the whole of which was raised within the congregation.

And now the '' war-clouds rolling dun " over-shadowed the land. The
peaceful parish became an intrenched camp, and a highway for the marching
and counter-marching of grand armies. The churches, so lately resonant
with anthems of praise, are torn down or converted into barracks and hospi-
t^ilR and stables, and the roar of artillery and the blast of the bugle supercede

20

the son^s of the sanctuary. Mr. Cole in his report of 1865-66, tells the tale
with bleedinof heart and bated breath. He says: " Since my last report of 1861
cruel war has raj?ed. Pen cannot write or words utter the trials of mind and
heart, and the privations endured. All the Episcopal churches in this county,
and every other place of worship within the lines of the Federal army (except
the Baptist and Episcopal churches at the Court-house), were utterly destroy-
ed by it during? the winter of 1888-64. The whole country is a wiHe spread
desolation. The people, peeled and poor, are struggling for a living. During
the occupation by the Federal army we were not permitted to use our church.
We worshipped God, like the primitive Christians, in private houses, and nev-
er did the services of the Church seem sweeter or more comforting. I visited
the sick and wounded, and buried the dead of both armies alike— the number
of funerals being 490. It is a record for the great day, and not for the Conven-
tion. There were twenty churches of denominations destroyed within a com-
paratively small area. Among these in this parish were St. Paul's and St.
James, and Calvary Church, under the care of Rev. P. Slaughter, at the foot
of Slaughter's (Cedar) Mountain. The last named church was built by Mr.
Slaughter on his own place when by ill-health he was constrained to retire to
the country. This church was consecrated by Bishop Johns in June, 1860,
and Mr. S. officiated for the benefit of his neighbors and servants, without fee
or reward, other than that arising from the consciousness of trying to do some
good, under the burden of many infirmities. That only relic of th is church is
a beautiful stained window, which was spared at the intercession of a young
lady, who kept it under her bed till the war was over. The window now lights a
chancel in Mr. Slaughter's dwelling, which also contains a desk, the only relic
of ^another of his old churches which was burned. The chancel, with its relics
has in it the seeds of an unwritten poem, whose melody is only heard in the
heart."

Mr. Slaughter in his report to the Convention in 1865, says — '* Since the
destruction of my church and the desecration of my home by Federal soldiers,
I have spent my time in the army and in the hospitals, and in editing the
* Army and Navy Messenger,' a religious journal for our soldiers and sailors."
The despoiled church at Culpejier has been restored by the aid of friends ; St.
Paul's has b33n rebuilt by the kindness of Mr. Farish ; St. James has risen
from the ashes at the bidding of Miss Wheatley and others ; but a few stones
and a little grov^e of evergreens of second growth are all that mark the spot
where once stood a consecrated fane at the foot of Shiughter's Mountain. The
wailing winds play requiems upon the evergreen harps of pine, and the birds
singing sweetly among the branches, with responsive echoes, are now the on-
ly choir which chants anthems, where once young men and maidens, old men,
and children, x>i'aised the name of the Lord. It is {jrojjer to say that Mr.
Slaughter has declined contributions for rebuilding this church, in favor of
other churches where the field promised a better harvest.

Whether this church shall rise again God only knows. His will be done !
If a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, much less can a
church perish by violence. If it rise not, then let the wailing winds still play
its requiem, and the plaintive dove chant its funeral dirge.

After officiating on Christmas day, 1868, Mr. Cole was stricken by paraly-
sis, and in a few days finished his career of forty years' service in the ministry,
thirty-two of which were spent in St. Mark's Parish. Dr. Dalrymple, in his
address at the Semi-Centenary of the Seminary, calls special attention to our
obligations to Mr. Cole for his succissful labors in adding to our emolument
fund, and for his agency in procuring the charter for our Theological Semi-

30

nary. He also records the following interesting incident, which we had heard

from Mr. Cole's own lips: — At a convention many years ago, when the clergy

and laity were assembled around the chancel at the close of the services on

Sunday night, Bishop Moore called on Mr. Cole to raise a hymn. He obeyed

by commencing:

The voice of free grace

Cries, escape to the mountain.

It was caught up by Bishop, priest and people, singing jubilant at that sol-
emn hour of night. Such was the origin of this time-honored custom of the
Convention of Virginia.

Rev Mr. Cole married first, April 10th, 1855, Fanny E., daughter of
John Thompson, of Culpeper, — children Fanny Meade, John Thompson,
Thomas Willoughby and Carter Stanard : and married, second, Mrs. Conway,
daughter of Wm. Foiishee. His second wife soon followed her husband to
the tomb, dying without issue.

After what has been already said, Mr. Cole may be characterized in a few
words. In all the relations of life he was a true man transparent as Dryden's
ideal man, whose thoughts were as visible as the figured houra through the
crystal of a clock. He was not what is called a popular preacher (a question-
able compliment, since it too often implies the arts of the demagogue), and he
had a true English hatred of all shams. He was a faithful and brave soldier
of the Cross, not ashamed of the faith of Christ Crucified, but manfully fought
under his banner unto his life's end. A fitting inscription upon his tomb
would be these words: " He feared God — he had no other fear."

THE SUCCESSORS OF THE REV. MR. COLE.

Having now taken leave of the dead past, we stand in the presence of the
living. We must be wary of our words, not only because (as Dr. Hawks said
of Bishop Moore in his lifetime) we would not "shock the delicacy of living
worth;" but because it will be the office of those who come after them and see
after them and see their end, to mark their place in history. The only excep-
tion to this rule we have already noted, we have no more active field-work to
do.

The Rev. George W. Peterkin, who had been assisting his father at Rich-
mond, took charge of St. Stephen's Church in June, 1869. In 1870 he reported
an addition of 20 to the communion of 1868, which he found there at his com-
ing. Sunday School more than doubled; sermons and addresses during the
year 140, and 40 public catechisings. The Rev. Chas. Yancey Steptoe, who had
been recently ordained, and had recently taken charge of Christ and St. Paul's
churches, reported an accession of 18 to the communion, with 110 Sunday
School teachers and scholars. Bishop Johns, in 1869, had consecrated Christ's
Church, * 'which (he said) from its position supplied the place of two churches
destroyed during the war. For this beautiful building we are indebted to the
Christian sympathy of Miss E. A. Wheatley, formerly of Culpeper,now of Brook-
lyn, New York. She provided the funds and furnished the plan. It stands in
full view of the railroad, a pleasing memorial of the pious devotion of a lady
who loved her people and built them a christian synagogue.''

In 1871 Mr. Peterkin reported a handsome brick building at a cost of $1,-
669.40, raised on the credit of the vestry, and the organization of a church
school for girls, under the charge of Mr. K. S. Nelson. Mr. Steptoe reports an
addition of 21 to the communion of Christ and St. Paul's churches, and a con-
tribution of $1215.28. In 1872 Mr. Peterkin reports an addition of 44 to the
communion of St. Stephen's, a Sunday School of 200, and 3 teachers and 27

,^1

scholars in church school. '^During the past year (he says) the school has sus-
tained itself, and become a recognized power in the parish. An important
part of my work (he adds) during two years past, has been the restoration of
an old colonial church, about twelve miles from Culpeper, in the Little Fork.
$250 have been spent in necessary repairs, of which $100 was from the Bruce
Fund. Congregations large, and 8 communicants at the old church." Mr.
Steptoe reports the building of a rectory near Brandy Station for the use of
Christ and St. Paul's Churches, at a cost of $2150, of which Christ's Church
contributes $1005; St. Paul's, $450; Piedmont Convocation, $180; Miss Wheatley,
$415, and Mr. Suter, of New York, $100. A steeple, bell, and other improve-
have been added to Christ Church by our kind friend Miss Wheatley. In 1873
Mr. Peterkin reports 187 communicants, a Sunday school of 280, of whom 35
are colored children, 3 teachers and 39 scholars in the church school, which,
he says, is so established and governed as to enabled the church to extend the
blessing of Christian education among her people. Mr. Steptoe reports a
church at Rapidan Station as nearly finished by our own efforts and the aid of
friendlv communicants at Christ and St. Paul's churches.

1874. Rev. James G. Minnegerode having succeeded Mr. Peterkin (who
had taken charge of Memorial Church, Baltimore^,) reports 145 communicants
and a Sunday school of 282. Mr. Steptoe, for Christ, St. Paul's, and Em^ian-
uel churches, reports 06 communicants and Sunday schools of 86, contribu-
tions $1545.11, the consecration of Emmanuel Church by Bishop Johns on the
10th of December, 1873. *' I officiated (he says) at Emmanuel's two Sundays
in the month, in the afternoon, until we were so fortunate as to secure the
services of the Rev. Dr. Slaughter, as long as his health shall hold out. By
the aid of Mr. J. Wilmer, Jr., as Lay Reader, he has been able to officiate on
Sunday mornings." Dr. Slaughter himself says he has been much aided by
the sympathy and co-operation of Mr. Steptoe and of the Bishop of Louisia-
na, who spends some of the summer months here, and is always ready to help
us with good words and works.

1876. Present Status of The Churches in St. Mark's Parish.

St. Stephen's Church, Rev. J. G. Minnegerode, Rector:— Communicants
170, Sunday school teachers and scholai*s 200, of whom 50 are colored.

Christ and St. Paul's Churches, Rev. C. Y. Steptoe, Rector:— Communi-
cants; after sutostracting those transferred, 80.

The present writer officiates at Emmanuel Church. Of his work there it
does not become him to speak, except to say, that he deems it a privilege at
this eleventh hour of his ministry to be permittei to do even a day's work in
the vineyard. Communicants 36, the number having just trebled since the
institution of regular services.

At the last Convention St. Mark's was again divided, and Ridley Parish
taken out of its eastern side, by a line beginning at Jameson's Mill, on Mud-
dy Run, with that Run to Hazel (Eastham's) River, thence with that river to
the Rappahannock river, with Rappahannock to the mouth of the Rapidan,
up the Rapidan to the mouth of the Robinson, up the Robinson to Crooked
Run, up that run to Wayland's Mill, thence to the top of Mount Poney, thence
to the beginning. The new parish includes Christ's, St. Paul's, and Em-
manuel churches, and leaves to the now mutilated St. Mark's only St. Ste-
phen's Church at Culpeper, and the old Centennial Brick Church in the Little
Fork, the only representative in this parish of the Church of England in tlie
'' Colony and Dominion " of Virginia.
L.^ We have said in the text that we had not been able to fix the precise date

of the building of St, Stephen's Church, Culpepar C. H. General Edward
Stevens (the Revolutionary hero), who lived in the house now occupied by
Mrs. Lightfoot in his will, recorded in August, 1820, **confirms his promise to
give one acre of land in Fairfax'' for an Episcopal church, one acre adjoining
the village for a Presbyterian church, and one acre to Free Masons' Lodge
of Fairfax adjoinging his family burying-ground for a cemetery. St. Stephen's
was built between 1820 and 1823.

ST. THOMAS PARISH, ORANGE COUNTY.

This parish was cut off from St. Mark's in 1740, carrying James Barbour
and Benjamin Cave, vestrymen, along with it. Before the separation St.
Mark's had built a church, since known as the old Orange church,
near Ruckersville, and a chapel where Robert Brooken now
lives. There was also a chapel ordered at Bradley's or Batley's
quarter, whose site was to have been fixed by Benjamin Cave. After the sep-
aration, St. Thomas' vestry built the Pine Stake Church, near Raccoon Ford,
on land originally patented by Francis Taliaferro; and a middle church below
Orange C. H.. on land now owned by Erasmus Taylor. All trace of the Pine
Stake Church is gone. The writer remembers in his boyhood to have been at
a barbecue at the church spring. The middle church was of brick, and was
well preserved as late as 1806. Some years later it shared the fate of many
other old churches, which were assumed to be common property, and were
torn down and carried off piece by piece. The gilt altar-piece, with other or-
naments of the chancel, were attached to household furniture. The old com-
munion service, engraved with the name of the parish, given by the grand-
mother of President Madison and other good women, has been recovered and
is now in use.

Unhappily the old records of St. Thomas Parish have been lost, so that it
is no longer possible to reproduce the chief early actors in it. The Rev. Mun-
go Marshall was minister in 1753. There was once a tombstone over his
grave, but that too was appropriated, and was used in a tannery to dress hides
upon. In 1760 he was succeeded by the Rev. Wm. Giberne. In 1761 the Rev.
James Marye followed, and his first official act was the funeral sermon of the
paternal grandmother of President Madison. In the family record it is said,
**hei funeral sermon was preached by Rev. J. Marye, jr., from Rev. 14 ch. 13
verse." In 1767-8 the Rev. Thomas Martin succeeded. He wasatutor of Pres-
ident Madison,and lived for a time in the family at Montpelier. He was a broth-
er of Gov. Martin of North Carolina. A letter from Mr. Madison to him express-
ing a great respect and affection for his preceptor, may be seen in *'Reves' Life
and Times of Madison." Rev. John Burnett succeeded Martin about 1770,and was
followed by Rev. John Wingate, the last of the colonial clergy, who being
suspected of want of loyalty to Virginia, soon took his leave. The disloyal
odor this man left behind him may have been the reason why the vestry, who
were very patriotic (James Madison, the vestryman, was chairman of the Or-
ange committee,) did not have another minister for twenty-three years, con-
tenting themselves with occasional services by the Rev. Matthew Maury of Al-
bemarle. The old churchwarden, Major Moore' buried the dead with the
church service, and the Rev. Mr. Belmaine, while paying his court to Miss Lu-
cy Taylor, and on his visits after his marriage, officiated. The^Rev. Henry
Fry (Methodist) was sometimes called upon to preach, always preceding his
sermons with the old church service (says Col. Frank Taylor in his diary.) In
1 780 the vestry engaged the blind Presbyterian minister Mr. Waddell (whose
eloquence has been so glorified and transfigured by the genius of Mr. Wirt) to

83

officiate for them once a month in the Brick (Middle) Church, and gave him 60
pounds. Mr. O'Neil was the minister from 1790 to about 1800. In 1809-11 the
Rev. Hugh C. Boggs officiated at Orange C. H. and the Pine Stake Church,
which was standing as late as 1813.

This brings us to the time when the minister from Culpeper began services
in Orange, of which an account will be found in the body of this work. The
church at Orange C. H. is modern, having been built in 1833-34. The history
of the services of the Me^rs. Jones, Earnest, Davis, Carson, and Hansbrough,
are within the knowledge of those now living, and need not be reproduced
here; it not being within the scope of this book to give more than a brief
sketch of Bromfield and St. Thomas, as having been originally within the
bounds of St. Mark's Parish.

Col. Frank T%ylor's diary enables one to form a life-like conception on the
animated social circle of which Orange C. H. was the centre from 1786 to 1799.
The circle embraced Montpelier, Coleman's Springs, Clark's Mountain, and
parts of Culpeper and Madison counties. The persons who figured in it were
Col. Frank Taylor, James Taylor (Clerk of the County,) Dr. Ch. Taylor, the
family physician, and Erasmus, Robert, John, and other Taylors, whose name
is legion. Col. Thomas Barbour and his brother James, James Barbour, Jr.,
Dr. Thomfts Barbour, Richard Barbour — Ambrose, Gabriel, Philip, son of
Thomas; Philip, son of Ambrose; and another Philip Barbour. Major Moore,
Robert, John, and William Moore, and many more. Col. James Madison, Sr.,
Col. Jas., Jr., (President), Ambrose, William, Catlett, and other Madisons.
Crump, Charles, Ben and Abner Porter. William and R. B. Morton, Andrew
Shepherd, Sr. & Jr. John and Alexander Shepherd. A whole chime of Bells —
John, William, Thomas, and Charles. Col. Lawrence, Hay, Frank, and William
Taliaferro. Capt. Catlett, Frank, John Catlett, Jr., and Henry Conway. Col.
James Pendleton, Nat., Henry, John, Bowie, Philip, and countless
other Pendletons, chiefly from Culpeper. Capt. William and Francis
Dade. Andrew and John Glassell, Reuben Smith, James and John
Walker, Zachary, Robert, and John Burnley, and Isaac and John Wil-
liams, and Samuel Slaughter. Divers Alcockes, Lees, and Gibsons,
&c., &c. Among the young Ladies were Lucy, Sally, and Fanny Barbour;
Nancy, Sally, Betsy, Patsy, Lucy, and Polly Taylor; Franky Alexander, Milly
and Polly Glassell, Hanna Watkins, Lucy Gaines; Mary, Betsy, Sally, and
Suky Conway; Fanny, Elizabeth, Joanna, and two Katies Pendleton; Sally,
Betsy, and Judy Burnley; Sally, Nelly, Elizabeth, and Frances Madison; Fan-
ny and Polly Moore, the Misses Gilbert, Sally Throgmorton, the Misses Chew,
&c., &c. And then there was an almost continuous influx of visitors, chiefly
from Spotsylvania, Caroline, and Culpeper, and a stream of travellers to and
from Kentucky by way of Culpeper, Winchester, and Red Stone in Mononga-
lia.

These people seem to have had a gay time — dining parties of twenty-five
to thirty from house to house; quilting parties, winding up with a dance ; balls
at Sanford's, BelPs, and Alcocke's hotels in the winter, varied with hare, fox,
and wolf-hunting, especially when Major Willis and Hay Taliaferro came up
with twenty hounds. In the summer they had fish-fries and barbecues at
Dade's Mill, Waugh's Ford, Wood's Spring, Leathers' Spring, and Herndon's
Spring. Col. Taylor seems never to have missed an election ; he always re-
cords the names of the candidates for office and the number of votes for each.
He brings before us Mr. Madison as candidate for Congress, Assembly and
Convention, addressing the people in defence of the Constitution, to which
the ignorant were opposed. He is said to have spoken from the steps of the

34

old Lutheran Church, now in Madison, with the people standing in the snow,
and the cold so intense that the orator's ears were frost-bitten. He records
the votes for General Stevens of Culpeper as Presidential Elector, for French
Strother for Senator, and for Tom Barbour and C. Porter for Assemby. He
tells us about yestry meetings which elected Tom Barbour and William Moore
deputies to the Convention ; of Col. Oliver Towles, Wm. Wirt, Robert Tay-
lor, &c., pleading at the bar. We see the ladies shopping at Lee's, and Shep-
herd's, and Taylor's, and Wilson's stores, and the men playing at the five bat-
teries. Weddings too seem to have been more common than now. Under the
date of January 1786 he says: Wm. Madison and the ladies have just returned
from the marriage of Mordecai Barbour and Miss Strode. 27th March, 1787,
large company at J. Taylor's, at the marriage of Tom Barbour and Mary Tay-
lor, by Rev. Mr. Stevenson. July 1st, at the marriage of Jc^^n Bell and Judy
Burnley, and then he varies the scene by saying: "Went to church 2d Dec, and
Mr. Waddell told the people that he had heard that it would be agreeable to
them for him not to attend here again till March, and he would not." 1788,
24th March, election for Convention:— James Madison 202 votes, James Gordon
187, C. Porter 34. Madison's .election gave great satisfaction. May 14th, 1788,
James Madison, Jr , at Goodlet's school examining the boys. The next marri-
age, Nov. 10th, 1789, Archy Tutt to Caty Pendleton, of Culpeper; Dec. 8th,

BROMFIELD PARISH.

Bromfield was cut off from St. Mark's by Act of Assembly in 1752. Tlio
dividing line has been marked in the body ©f this work. Its western bounda-
ry starts from John Spotswood's comer on Crooked Run (near Wayland's Mill)
and runs north by east to the junction of White Oak Run with the Rappahan-
nock River: thus includinj^r what is now Madison and Rappahannock Counties,
and a small section of Culpeper. Bromfield, after this date, had its ministers,
vestries, and records, of which there is now scarcely a trace. In the absence
of such refdsters, I can only reconstruct the history of this parish with the few
materials prleaned from different and distinct sources. The very name has
been recently and unconsciously changed into Bloomfield, in which form it ap-
pears on the Journals of Convention ever since 1833,except in 1889 when it was
represented by Jno. F. Conway, who restored the right name. After this one
effort to recover its historical name, it relapsed into Bloomfield, and has been
so called ever since. Even Bishop Meade calls it '* Old Bloomfield Parish."
The word is Saxon, and means Broomfield. Perhaps this is the origin of what
we call in Virginia a broom-straw or broom sedge field. However applicable
the term may have been to the lower part of the parish (the Piney Woods),
Bloomfield is more descriptive of the Piedmont portion, which had not then
been developed. Let us hope that the lost name may be restored for history's
sake.

We know the names of at least two of the old vestrymen of Bromfield.
Martin Nalle and Ambrose Powell, who in 1754 negotiated with the vestry of
St. Mark's about running the dividing line between the old and the new par
ish. Henry Field and Philip Clayton had been ordered in 1752 to attend the
survefyor in running these lines. The courses threw " Tennant's Church"
and the church in the Fork of Devil's Run and to Hazel River into Bromfield
Parish. Later in the century there was a church at F. T., so called from the
initials of Frank Thornton being cut on an oak tree near the spring, that be-
ing a corner in his survey. There was also a church not far from the present
site of Washington, near where Frank Slaughter now lives.

The first minister of Bromfield probably was the Rev. Adam Menzies, who
had been a respectable schoolmaster, for I find in the '*Fulham MSS." that he
was licensed for Virginia, and his name is set down in 1754-5 as minister of
Bronifield. There was also a James Herdman (1775), some of whose books are
now in my possession (Sherlock'fe, Seeker's, and Atterbury's sermons), which
were bought in Rappahannock as the remnant of an old English parson's li-
brary. The late Samuel Slaughter, who died about 1857, in his 90th year, said
that he, in his boyhood, went to school to a Rev. Mr. Harrison, minister of
Bromfield. Thomas, great-grandson of Burr Harrison, of Chippawamsic (who
was baptized at Westminster in December, 1637, and was the firgt of the family
in Virginia), was the father of the Idte Philip Harrison of Richmond, and of
Mrs. Freeman, mother of Mrs. McCoy, of Culpeper. In 1790 there was a min-
ister named Iredell who officiated at the South Church, four miles below Mad-
ison C. H. He was followed by O'Neil, an athletic Irishman, who believed in
what Hudibras calls ^'Apostolic blows and knocks" more than in the Apostolic
succession. He was a disciple of Soloman and never **spoiled the child by
sparing the rod." He suspended them upon a stout negro's back when he ad-
ministered the flagellations. He taught school near the Pine Stake
Church, in the family of Colonel Taliaferro, and also in Madison

36

The late Judge Barbour and the Hon. Jere and Dr. Geo. Morton were among
his pupils, and retained a lively recollection of his discipline. The memory of
that mother in Israel. Mrs. Sarah Lewis, already referred to went back to
O'Neirstime. The Rev. J. Woodville made occasional excursions to these
churches, when vacant, and the Lutheran minister, Mr. Carpenter, baptized
and buried the Episcopalians when without a pastor.

The leading Episcopal families who adhered to the church of their fathers
through evil as well as good report, were, the Lewises, Burtons, Vawters,
Caves, Gibbs, Strothers, Thorntons, Barbours, Conways, Gibsons, Pannills,
Gaines a»nd Beales. The last name reminds me that Reuben Beale was a Lay
Delegate to the first Convention in 1789 and 1798. After the revival of the
church in the Rev. Mr. Lamon's time (1834^5), when there were large accces-
sions to its communion, the ministers have been the Rev. A. H. Lamon, deceas-
ed, Wm. T. Leavell, John Cole, deceased, R. T. Brown of Maryland, Joseph
Earnest deceased. Rev. Dr. Shield, of Louisville, Ky., Wm. H. Pendleton, de-
ceased, J. G. Minnegerode, of Culpeper, Rev. Mr. Wroth of Baltimore, with
occasional services by other clergymen. There is a church at Madison C. H.,
which in 1834, had forty communicants, whose names are now before me,a church
at Woodville, and one at Washington. These churches have been so depleted
by emigration to the south and west and by infrequent and intermittent ser-
vices, that they are hardly able to stand alone, and are now (Dec. 1876) like
sheep scattered on the mountains, without a shepherd.

HISTORICAL EXCURSIONS.

THK KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN HORSESHOE.

SIC JUVAT TRANSCEXDKRK MONTKS.

Governor Spotswood's expedition over the great mountains, as be called it,
is one of the most romantic passages in the history of Virginia. Indeed, it has
been happily chosen as the theme of a romance by Dr. Caruthers, entitled "The
Knights of the Horseshoe," a traditionary tale of the cocked hat gentry in the
Old Dominion. The author seems to have used due diligence in gathering the
fugitive traditions of this adventure which lingered dimly in the minds of his
generation. The popular idea of this expedition seems to have been derived
from the ** traditionary tale," as the author fitly calls it. One is reluctant to
unmask a popular idol by substituting facts for fancies and showing the his-
torical basis upon which it stands. Until the publication of John Fontaine's
journal, the facts known about this expedition were but few. Robert Beverly,
one of the party, in his Pieface to the History of Virginia, 1732, merely said, "I
was with the present Governor at the head-spring of both of these rivers (York
and Rappahannock), and their fountains are in the highest ridge of moun-
tains." The Rev. Hugh Jones, Chaplain to the House of Burgesses, in his
Present State of Virginia (1724), says:— '^Governor Spotswood when he under-
took the great discovery of a passage over;; the; mountains, attended with a
sufficient guard of pioneers and gentlemen, with a supply of provisions, passed
these mountains and cut his Majesty's name upon a rock upon the highest of

87

them, naming it Mt. George, and in complaisance to him the gentlemen called
the mountain next to it Mt. Alexander. For this expedition they were obliged
to provide a great quantity of horseshoes, things seldom used in the eastern
part of Virginia, where there are no stones. Upon which account the Grov-
ernor, upon his return, presented each of his companions with a golden horse-
shoe, some of which I have seen covered with valuable stones resembling
heads of nails, with the inscription on one side, 'Sic juvat transcendere Mon-
tes.' This he intended to encourage gentlemen to venture backward and make
discoveries and settlements; any gentleman being entitled to wear this golden
shoe who could prove that he had drunk his Majesty's health on Mt.
George."

It has always been assumed that Gov. Spotswood communicated an ac-
count of his expedition to the home government, and it tends to confirm this
assertion that Chahners in his ''Annals" ,says the British Government penuri-
ously refused to pay the cost of golden horseshoes. But nothing has yet been
produced from Spotswood on this subject. The present writer has recently
gone through the Spotswood manuscripts recovered from England, whither
they had been carried by Feathers haugli, and which are now the property of
the Historical Society of Virginia. We only discovered one allusion to the sub-
ject in these papers. In a letter to the Board of Trade, 1718, Spotswood says:
— "The chief aim of my expedition over the great mountains in 1716 was to
satisfy myself whether it was practicable to come at the lakes. Having found
an easy passage over that great ridge of mountains hitherto deemed unpassa-
ble, I discovered from the relations of Indians which frequent these parts, that
from the pass where I was it was but three days' march to a great nation of
Indians, living on a river which discharges itself into Lake Erie; and that from
the west side of the small mountain that I saw that lake is very vis-
ible. The mountains on the other side of the great ridge being smaller than
those I passed,shows how easy a matter it is to gain possession of these lakes."
To account for these crude notions of the geography of the country it must be
remembered that all west of Germanna was at that time a vast unexplored
wilderness, covered by a dence forest, never trodden by the foot of the white
man, except the flying rangers who hovered upon the frontiers of population
to watch the Indians.

John Fontaine, son of Rev. James Fontaine (Huguenot), and brother of the
Rev. Peter Fontaine and of the Rev. James Fontaine, cJergymen of the Church
of England in Virginia, was an ensign in the British army. Ho came to Vir-
ginia in 171JJ, for the purpose of exploring the country and choosing lands for
the settlement of the family when they should come over. He made the ac-
quaintance of Gov. Spotswood at Williamsburg, and under his auspices visited
the new settlement at Germanna, and accompanied Spotswood to his Indian
school at Christanna, on the Meherrin River, and also on his expedition over
the great mountains. He kept a journal of his daily doings, w^hich furnishes
the only authentic account we have of this stirring adventure. His plain, un-
varnished tale dispels the mist which the popular fancy had peopled with hos-
tile Indians haunting the march, assassins stealing into camp at dead of night,
and committing murder, perpetrating massacres, and doing battle in the
mountain passes. The recent publication of this journal rescues the facts from
traditionary perversions and restores them to their true historical proportions.
From him (an eye-witness) we learn that Gov. Spotswood came from Williams-
burg by way of Chelsea (King William) and Robert Beverly's (Middlesex),
where the Governor left his chaise, and bringing Beverly along came on horse-
back to Germanna, where, on the 26th August, 1716, they were met by other

38

gentlemen, four Meherrin Indians, and two small companies of rangers. The
names of the gentlemen of the party, deduced in part from the camps which
were called after them, were: Gov. Spotswood, John Fontaine, Robert Beverly,
the historian; CoL Robertson, Dr. Robertson, Taylor Todd, Mason, Captains,
Clonder, and Smith, and Brooke, the ancestor of the late Judge Brooke.
Campbell says;— "The whole company was about fifty persons. They had a
large number of riding and pack-horses, an abundant supply of provisions,
and an extraordinary variety of liquors."

There have been divers opinions about the route which this gay company
of young bloods pursued, and the gap at which they passed the mountains.
The starting point (Germanna) is fixed, and the terminus, we think, by the
light of Fontaine's Journal, is just as certain. We haye seen that Beverly (of
the party) says **he was with Governor Spotswood at the head-springs of the
York and Rappahannock Rivers." We shall presently see that Fontaine says
''we passed from the head- waters of the Rappahannock to the head- waters of
the James in a few hours." Now as Swift Run Gap is the only '*pass" which
the head- waters of York, James, and Rappahannock rivers approximate, and
as Swift Run, a branch of the James, flows down the eastern gorge of the gap
from a spring whose present site, description, and relations to another spring
flowing down the western declivity correspond with Fontaine's account of them
we are shut up to the conclusion that Swift Run Gap is the historical pass.
As to the intermediate course between these fixed points nothing is certainly
known, except the first stages, viz. Expedition (Big Russell) Run, Mine Run,
Mountain Run (the last two still retaining the names given them by these cav-
alierfe), and Rapidan River at or near Somerville's Foi*d. So far the
route seems plain. Our theory is that, encountering Clarke's Mountain at
this point, they crossed the river, which demonstrably then ran nearer the
mountain than now, and proceeding up the flats until they had flanked the
mountain, recrossed to the highlands, and passing through Jones', HoUaday's,
Bresee's, &c., encamped beyond Barnett's Ford, at a point where they had a
fine view of the Appalachian Mountains, as they called them. Persons may
well differ as to the precise line of travel, and maintain their theories by plau-
sible arguments. All the points cannot now be settled with absolute certain-
ty, and are not material; the main point being the general course of travel be-
tween Germanna and Swift Run Gap. The theory of the map is that they
continued their journey on the south side of the Rapidan through the beauti-
ful bottoms of the forks of Poplar, Blue and Marsh Runs, striking and cross-
ing the river again where it is very small. That they returned thib way is con-
firmed by the fact that when they reached a certain point on the Rapidan,
Mr. Beverly was so pleased with the land that he said he would take out a
patent for it. Mr. B. Johnson Barbour's title to his beautiful river-farm goes
back to Beverly's patent. A map was kindly and gi'atuitous-
ly constructed for us by Capt. Joseph J. Halsey, a lawyer, versed in the
lore of old land patents and surveys, and a competent topographer, after a pa-
tient study of all the materials we could gather. The sketches of the country
about Germanna were made by Rev. J. C. Willis, of Indiantown, from his own
surveys, and an outline map of Mr. Brooking of the upper part of the route,
and upon Capt. Halsey's own surveys, supplemented by his knowledge of the
country, and aided by the suggestions of Mr. Stevens of Stannardsville, and
other persons of the vicinage. Messrs. HaJsey, Willis and Brooking are all
practical surveyors, and represent the beginning, middle and end of the route.

But we must not detain the reader longer from Fontaine's Journal, from
which he can deduce his own conclusions. Those who have never read it will

39
find it a lively picture of the first company of gentlemen whose trumpet first
waked the echoes of our hill, and lifted the blue veil which hid from the eyes
of the white man the fair face of nature in the Valley of Virginia.

JOURNAL OF MR. FONTAINE.

August 27th. — Got our tents in order and our hoi*ses shod.

29th. — In the morning got all things in readiness, and about one we left
the German-town, to set out on our intended journey. At five in the after-
noon the Governor gave orders to encamp near a small river three miles from
Germanna, which we call Expedition Run, and here we lay all night. The
first encanipment was called Beverly Camp, in honor of one of the gentlemen
of our party. We made great fires, and supped, and drank good punch. By
ten of the clock I had taken all of my ounce of Jesuit's bark, but my head
was much out of order.

30th. — In the morning about seven of the clock the trumpet sounded to
awake all the company, and we got up. One Austin Smith, one of the gentle-
men with us, having a fever, returned home. We had lain upon the ground
under cover of our tents, and we found by the pains in our bones that we had
not had good beds to lie upon. At nine in the morning we sent our servants
and baggage forward, and we remained because two of the Governor's hordes
had strayed. At half-past two we got the horses, at three we mounted, and
at half an hour after four we came up with our baggage at a small river three
miles on the way, which we call Mine River, because there was an appearance
of a silver mine by it. We made about three miles more, and came to another
small river, which is at the foot of a small mountain, so we encamped here
and called it Mountain Run, and our camp we called Todd's Camp. We had
good pasturage for our horses, and venison in abundance for ourselves, which
we roasted before the fire on wooden forks, and so we went to bed in our tents.
We made six miles this day.

31st. — At eight in the morning we set out from Mountain Run, and after
^oiug five miles we came upon the upper part of Rappahannock River. One
of the gentlemen and I, we kept out on one side of the company about a mile,
to have the better hunting. I saw a deer and shot him from my horse, but
the horse threw me a terrible fall and ran away, we ran after him, and with a
great deal of *difflculty got him again ; but we could not find the deer I had
shot, and we lost ourselves, and it was two hours before we could come upon
the track of our company. About five miles farther we crossed the same river
again, and two miles farther we met with a large bear, which one of our com-
pany shot and I got the skin. We killed several deer, and about two miles
from the place where we killed the bear we encamped, upon the Rappahan-
nock River. From our encampment we could see the Appalachian Hills very
plain. We made large fires, pitched our tents, and cut boughs to lie upon,
had good liquor, and at ten we went to sleep. We always kept a sentry at the
Governor's door. We called this Smith's Camp. Made this day fourteen
miles.

1st. — Sejitember. — At eight we mounted our horses and made the first five
miles of our way through a very pleasant plain, which lies where Rappahan
nock River forks. I saw there the largest timber, the finest and deepest
mould, and the best grass that I ever did see. We had some of our bag-
gage put out of order and our company dismountad by hornets stinging the
horses. This was some hindrance and did a little damage, but afforded
a great deal of diversion. We killed three bears this day, which exercised the
horses as well as the men. We saw two foxes, but did not pursue them ; we

40

killed several deer. About five of the clock we came to a run of water at the
foot of a hill where we pitched our tents. We called the encampment Dr.
Robinson's Camp, and the river Blind Run. We had good pasturage for oar
horses and every one was cook for himself. We made our beds with bushes as
before. This day we made thirteen miles.

2d.— At nine we were all on horseback, and after riding about five miles
we crossed the Rappahannock River almost at the head,where it is very small.
We had a rugged way ; we passed over a great many small runs of water,
some of which were very deep and others very miry. Several of our company
were dismounted some were down with their horses, and some thrown off.
We saw a bear running down a tree, but it being Sunday we did not endeavor
to kill anything. . We encamped at five by a small river we called White Oak
River; and called our camp Taylor's Camp.

3d. — About eight we were on horseback, and about ten we came to a thick-
et so tightly laced together that we had a great deal of trouble to get through.
Our baggage was injured, our clothes torn all to rags, and the saddles and hol-
sters also torn. About five of the clock we encamped almost at the head of
James River, just below the great mountain. We called this camp Col. Rob-
ertson's camp. We made all this day but eight miles.

4th. — We had two of our men sick with the measles and one of our horses
poisoned with a rattle-snake. We took the heaviest of our baggage, our tired
horses, and the sick men, and made as convenient a lodge for tbem as we could,
and left people to guard them and hunt for them. We had finished this work
by twelve, and so we set out. The sides of the mountains were so full of vines
and briers that we were forced to clear most of the way before us. We crossed
one of the small mountains on this side the Appalachian, and from the top of
it we had a fine view of the plains below. We were obliged to walk up the
most of the way, there bemg abundance of loose stones on the side of the hill.
I killed a large rattlesnake here, and the other people killed three more. We
made about four miles, and so came to the side of James River where a man
may jump over it, and there we pitched our tents. As the people were light:
ing the fire there e^me out of a large log of wood a prodigious snake, which
they killed, so this camp was called Rattlesnake Camp, but otherwise it was
called Bnx)ke's Camp.

5th.— A fair day. At five we were mounted. We were obliglnl to have axe-
men to clear the way in some places. We followed the windings of James
River, observing that it came from the very top of the mountains. We killed
two rattlesnakes during our ascent. In some places it was very steep, in oth-
ers it was so that we could ride up. About one of the clock we got to the top
of the mountains; about four miles and a half and we came tj the verv head-
spring of James River, where it runs no bigger than a man*s arm from under
a big stone. We drank King George's health and all the royal family's at the
very top of the Appalachian mountains. About a musket-shot from tlie spring
there is another, which rises and runs down to the other side. It goes west-
ward, and we thought we could go down that way, but we met with such pro-
digious precipices that we were obliged to return to the top again. We founA-
some trees which had been formerly marked, I suppose by the Northern In-
dians, and following these trees we found a good, safe descent. Several of th^"
company were for returning, but the (iovernor persuaded them to continue on^
About five we were down on the other side, and continued our way until sevei*-
miles further, when we came to a large river, by the side of which we encamp —
etl. We made this day fourteen miles. I, being somewhat more curious tha
the rest, went on a high rock on the top of the mountain to see tine prospects

41

and I lost my gun. We saw when we were over the mountain the footing of
elk and buffaloes and their beds. We saw a vine which bore a sort of wild cu-
cumber, and a shrub with a fruit like unto a currant. We ate very good wild
grapes. We called this place Spotswood's Camp, after our Governor.

6th. — We crossed the river, which we called Euphrates. It is very deep;
the main course of tlie water is north; it is fourscore yards wide in the narrow-
est part. We drank some healths on the other side and returned, after which
I went swimming in it. We could not find any fordable place except the one
by which we crossed, and it was deep in several places. I got some grasshop-
pers and fished, and another and I we catched a dish of fish, some perch and a
kind of fish they called chub. The others went a-hunting, and killed deer and
turkeys. The Governor had graving irons, but could not grave anything, the
stone was so hard. I graved my name on a tree by the river side, and the Gov-
ernor buried a bottle with a paper enclosed, on which he writ that he took
possession of this place in the name and for King George First of England.
We had a good dinner,and after it we got the men together and loaded all their
arms, and we drank the King's health in champagne and fired a volley, the
Princess's health in Burgundy and fired a volley, and all the rest ofithe royal
family in claret and a vplley. We drank the Governor's health and fired an-
other volley. We had several sorts of liquors, viz., Virginia red wine and white
wine, Irish usquebaugh, brandy, shrub, two sorts of rum, champagne, canary,
cherry punch, water, cider, &c. I sent two of the rangers to look for my gun
which I dropped in the mountain; they found it and brought it to me at night,
and I gave them a pistol for their trouble. We called the higrhest mountain
Mount George, and the one we crossed over Mount Spotswood.

7th. — At seven in the morning we mounted our horses and parted with the.
rangers, who were to go farther on, and we returned homewards. We repass-
ed the mountains, and at five in the afternoon we came to Hospital Camp,
where we left our sick men and heavy bagrgrage, and we found all things well
and safe. We encamped here and called it Captain Clonder's Camp.

8th. — At nine we were all on horseback. We saw several bears and deer,
and killed some wild turkey. We encamped at the side of a run and called
the place Mason's Camp We had good forage for our horses, and we lay as
usual. Made twenty miles this day.

9th.— We set out at nine ot the clock, and before twelve we saw several
bears, and killed three. One of them attacked one of our men that was ridina:
after him and narrowly missed him ; he tore his things that he had behind
him from oflf his horse, and would have destroj-ed him had he not had imme-
diate help from the other men and our dogs. Some of the dogs suffered severe-
ly in this engagement. At two we crossed one of the branches of the Rappa-
hannock River; and at five we encamped on the side of the Rapid Ann, on a
tract of land that Mr. Beverly hath design to take up. We made this day
twenty-three miles, and called this Captain Smith's Camp. We ate f)art of
one Of the bears, which tasted very well, and would be good and might pass
for Veal if one did not know what it was. We were very merry, and diverted
ourselves with our adventures.

10th. — At eight we were on horseback, and about ten, as we were going up
a small hill, Mr. Beverly and his horse fell down, and they both rolled to the
bottom; but there were no bones broken on either side. At twelve as we were
crossing a run of water, Mr. Clonder fell in, so we called this place Clonder's
Run. At one we arrived at a large spring, where we dined and drank a bowl
of punch. We called this Fontaine's Spring. About two we got on horse-
back, and at four we reached Germanna.

43

Spotswood instituted what he called the Tramontane Order, in commem-
oration of the expedition, each gentleman being entitled to wear the golden
horseshoe who could prove that he had drunk his Majesty's health on Mt.
George. The golden horse-shoes decended as heirlooms in several families.
Judge Brooke, in his autobiography, speaks of one in the possession of Ed-
mund Brooke, whose ancestor was of the party. This gentleman died in
Georgetown, D. 0., and we had hoped to find the relic in his daughter's pos-
session, but it had been lost. Campbell speaks of the late Mrs. Bott, of Peters-
burg, a descendant of Spotswood, having seen the miniature horseshoe be-
longing to Spotswood, and that it was small enough to be worn on a watch-
chain. Spotswood probably had more than one of them, as we find it said in
the Byrd manuscripts that when Spotswood made a treaty with the five na-
tions of Indians at Albany, in 1722, in which they bound themselves not to
pass the Potomac or the Blue Ridge, the Governor told the Indians that they
must take particular notice of their speaker, and gave him a golden horse-
shoe which he wore at his breast, and bade the interpreter tell him that there
was an inscription on it which signified that it would help him to pass the
mountains, and that when any of their people should come to Virginia they
must bring that with them. These things are like dreams to us now. With
a population which has not only transcended the Blue Ridge, but the Alle-
ghany and Rocky Mountains, and reached the Golden Gate of California, it is
hard to realize that only 160 years ago Germanna was a frontier post, and the
great West an unknown world, except to the wild Indian, whose tribes have
melted away before the palefaces like snow before the sun, and whose barque,
like that of the crew of the fabled phantom ship, " rides on and on, and an-
chored ne'er shall be."

ERMANNA.

Salve Posteritas!
Posteritas Germano-jjolltana.

The German people is a potent element in American civilization. The
number of Germantowns in the United States is curious and suggestive. The
oldest of these is the one in Pennsylvania, which was the scene of the battle
of Germantown in the old Revolution, in which so many of the men of St.
Mark's figured. It was established in 1033, under the auspices of Pastorius, to
provide, an he said, a "" pellace " or refuge from the judgements impending
over the old world, and to Christianize the naked -going savages. He compos-
ed a noble Latin ode on the occasion, beginning —

Salve Posteritas !
Posteritas Germano-politana,

which Whittier has put beautifully into English verse thus :

Hail to Posterity I
Hail, future men of Germanopolis!
Let the young generation, yet to be,

13

I Look kindly upon this;

Think how our fathers left their native land-
Dear German land ! O sacred hearts and homes I —

And where the wild beast roams,

In patience planned
New forest homes, beyond the mighty sea,

There undisturbed and free,

To live as brothers of one family.

What pains and cares befel,

What trials and what feai*s,
Remember, and whenever we have done well.

Follow our footsteps, men of coming years.

Where we have failed to do

Aught, or wisely live
Be warned by us, the better way pursue,
And knowing we were human, even as you,

Pity us and forgive.

Farewell, Posterity I

Farewell, dear Germany I

Forevermore farewell I

(See Memorial Thomas Potts, Jr., by Mrs. James.)

Our Germanna was settled under the auspices of Governor Spotswood
in 1714, on a peninsula of 400 acres of land on the banks of the Rapidan. These
Germans came directly from Oldensburg, or were a remnant of a settlement
planted under the auspices of the Baron de Graffenried in North Carolina,
many of whom were massacred by the Tuscarora Indians, as related by Gov-
ernor Spotswood in a letter of October 1711, which is published in Perry's
Collections from the archives of Fulham and Lambeth. Spotswood, says he
had demanded the release of De Graffenried, the Chief of the Palatines and
Swiss, who had been taken prisoner, and was, he feared, reserved for torture
by fire. That these Germans might have been the survivors of the massacre
in North Carolina is a mere conjecture, suggested by the fact that De Graffen-
ried was the leader of both parties. I have just found in the Spotswood MSS.
the following paragraph in a letter of Governor Spotswood to the Commis-
sioners of Trade in England, dated May 1714:—'' I continue to settle our trib-
utary Indians, and in order to supply that part which was to have been cover-
ed by the Tuscarora Indians, I have placed there a number of Protestant Ger-
mans, built them a fort, furnished it with two pieces of cannon and some am-
munition, which will awe the straggling parties of Northern Indians and be
a good barrier to all that part of the country. These Germans were invited
over some years ago by the Baron De Graffenreid, who had her Majesty's let-
ter to the Governor to furnish them with land after their arrival. They are
generally such as have been employed in their own country in mines, and say
they are satisfied; there are divers kinds of minerals where they are settled,
and even a good appearance of silver ; but it is impossible to know whether
those mines will turn to account without digging some depth — a liberty I shall
not give them until I hear from your Lordships.'*

The Germans landed at Tappahannock, and a dispute arose between them
and the captain of the ship in which they sailed, about the money for their
passage. The captain refused to deliver their effects until his demand was
satisfied. Governor Spotswood being present, proposed that if the Germans
>\'ould settle on his land and remain long enough to instruct some of his young
men in mechanical trades, he would pay the bill. They consented, and hence
the settlement at Germanna. In 1714. John Fontaine and JohnClayton of Wil-
liamsburg visited Germanna, and described it as follows: — " We went to the
German minister's house (they say), and finding nothing to eat lived upon our

44

own provisions and lay upon straw. Our beds not being: easy, we got up at
break of day, and in a hard rain walked about the town, which is palisaded
with stakes stuck in the ground close to each other, and of substance to resist
musket-shot. There are but nine families, and nine houses in all in a line;
and before every house, twenty feet distant, they have sheds for their hogs
and their hens ; so that hog-sty s on one side and dwellings on the other
make a street. The place paled in is a pentagon, regularly laid out ; and in
the centre is a block-house with five sides, answering to the five sides of the
great enclosure. There are loop-holes in it, from which you may see all the
inside of the enclosure. This is intended for a retreat in case of their not be-
ing able to defend the palisades from the Indians. They use the block-house
for Divine service. They go to prayers once a day and have two services Sun-
day. We went to hear them perform their services, which is done in their
own language, which we did not understand, but they seem very devout and
sing the psalms very well. This settlement is (1714) thirty miles from any in-
habitant. They live very miserably. For want of provisions we were obliged
to go. We got from the minister a bit of smoked beef and cabbage, and gave
him thirty shillings and took our leave. In less than three hours on our way
we saw nineteen deer; and we lodged at Mr. Smith's, at the Falls of the Rap-
pahannock."

We must now let the Germans speak for themselves. In the archives of
the English society for propagating the Gospel in foreign parts is the follow-
ing memorial: — '* The case of thirty-two Protestant German families settled
in Virginia humbly sheweth, that twelve Protestant German families, consist-
ing of about fifty persons, arrived April 17 J4, in Virginia, and were there .set-
tled near Rappahannock River. That in 1717, twenty Protestant German
familes, consist of about four-score persons, came and settled down near their
countrymen. And many more Germans and Swiss are likely to come. For the
ministries of religion there will be a necessity for a small church and for a
minister, who shall catechise and perform Divine offices among them in the
German tongue, which is the only language they do yet understand. That
there came indeed over with the first twelve German families a minister, nam-
ed Henry Haeger — a very sober, honest man, about seventy- five years old; but
he being likely soon to be past service, we have empowered Mr. J. C. Zollicoff-
er, of St. Gall, Switzerland, to go to Europe and obtain subscriptions from
pious Christians towards building a church, and bringing over with him a
young German minister to assist Mr. Haeger, and to succeed him when he
shall die ; to get him ordained in England by the Right Rev. Bishop of Lon-
don, and to bring over with him the Liturgy of the Church of England, trans-
lated into High Dutch, which they are desirous to use in public worship.
But this settlement consisting of only mean (poor) persons, utterly unable to
build a church and support an assistant minister, they humbly implore the
countenance, &c., of the Bishop of London and other Bishops, and the vener-
able society for propagating the Gospel in foreign parts, that they would take
the case under their pious consideration and grant their usual allowance for
the support of a minister, and if it may be so subscribe something towards
the building of their church, and they shall ever pray that the Lord may re-
ward their beneficence here and hereafter." The above petition w^as sent in
1719.

in the year 1720 Spotsylvania was cut off from Essex, and the Parish of St.
George,coteriiiinous with the county, was erected in 1721. (^^overnor Spotswood
fixed the seat of justice at Germanna, and the first court, composed of John
Taliaferro and othei*s, was holden 1st August, 1722. An appropriation was

45
lade by the General Assembly > of £500 for a churcu, a prison, a pillory and
kecks. The Act of Assembly contains this clause, doubtless for the benefit
f the Germans: *' Because foreign Protestants may not understand English
eadily, if any such shall entertain a minister of their own, they and their
Ithables shall be free from taxes for ten years."

By the help of Governor Spotswood a church was built, and Spotsylvania
Jounty, named after Spotswood, and St. George's Parish began their career
t G-ermanna, named from the Germans and Queen Anne. Governor Spots-
'^CKxiy soon after made his home at Germanna. The Rev. Hugh Jones, in his
Present State of Virginia," published about 1724, thus describes Germanna :
Beyond Governor Spotswood's furnace, within view of the yast mountains,
e has founded a town called Germanna, from the Germans sent over by
tueen Anne, who are now removed up further. Here Spotswood has servants
ad workmen of most handicraft trades ; and he is building a church, court
oase, and dwelling-house for himself, and has cleared plantations about it,
ncouragiug people to come and settle in that uninhabited part of the coun-
py, lately erected into a county. Beyond this (continues Jones) is seated the
olony of the Germans Palatine."

These Germans Palatine were probably the founders of Germantown in
'auquier. However this may be it is certain that the records of Fauquier de-
elop the fact that in 1718 Jacob Spilman, John Hoffman, John and Herman
'ishback, Peter Hitt, Jacob Holtzclaw, and William Weaver, not finding
>om at Germanna, moved to Germantown. Only three of these (Hoffman,
^ishback and Weaver) having been naturalized, they were sent to enter lands at
rerinantown. The title was in these three, and they wei e to make leases for
linety-nine years. The patent was issued in 1724. Copies of the leases are on
Bcord. Tillman Weaver, in his last will (1754, Dec. 14th), devises property to
Mllman W., to Ann, wife of Jno Kemper, and Mary, wife of Herman Hitt,
Iva, wife of Samuel Porter, Jacob, Elizabeth, Catharine, &c. Peter Hitt in
lis will, 1771, devises to John, Jos.. Herman, Peter, and to Mary, wife of Ja-
ob Rector. Peter Hitt married Sarah James, and Jos. Hitt married Mary
/oons. Several of these persons have their representatives in Fauquier, Cul-
»eper and Madison counties.

Colonel Byrd, already quoted, said that in 1732, while on a visit to Colo-
lel Spotswood, he saw the ruinous tenements which they, the Germans, had
►ccupied at Germanna, and adds that they had moved higher up to the forks
it the Rappannock (the Rapidan) to lands of their own, which must mean
n^hat is now the County of Madison, which lies within that fork. From the
«>8timony of these witnesses the Germans must have migrated to Madison
3efore 1734. The tradition is that they were disgusted with the poverty of the
3oil and the harsh treatment of their overseers in the mines; and resolved to
seek their fortunes on the banks of the Robinson River ; and from them has
descended the very thrifty German element in the population of Madison
County. What was the fate of their petition to London for a minister is not
known. Had it succeeded we might have had a flourishing German Episco-
pal church in Virginia. The Church of England being subject to the State,
and the British Ministry being generally governed in their policy to the
Church by considerations of political expediency, may not have acted in the
premises. However that may have been, the tradition is that our German
friends proc\ired subscriptions in Europe for building a Lutheran church,
which was erected about 1740, near the junction of White Oak Run and
and the Robinson River, and still stands in good condition. It is in the form
of a Maltese cross. Money was also raised in Europe to buy a pipe-organ of

4G

good size, which I believe is still in use. Subscriptions were taken in Sweden too,
perhaps for a communion service and other ptirposes, and the Kins: of Swed-
en was said to have been one of the subscribers. General Banks of Madison,
we are told, had seen one of these subscription papers. The church was en-
dowed, held a glebe, and has money at interest. By the kindness of Governor
Kemper I have a copy of the deed from William Carpenter to Michael Cook
and Michael Smith, wardens and trustees of the Gar nan church, and people
inhabiting the fork of Rappahannock river, in St. Mark's Parish and Coun-
ty of Spotsylvania, and their successors, for a glebe for the use of the minister
of the said German people and his successors, a tract of land in the first fork
of the Rapidan River, containing one hundred and ninety -three acres, more or
less, &c. The deed is dated 1733, and signed, sealed and delivered by William
Carpenter in the presence of Jno. Waller, Robert Turner, Ed. Broughton, Jas.
King and William Henderson. This Michael Cook was no doubt the same
who, with George Woots, was appointed by the vestry in 1729 to count all the
tobacco plants from the mouth of the Robinson River up to the Great Moun-
tains, including Mark Jones's plantation. The services in this church were
originally in German, then once a month in English, and subsequently entire-
ly in the English tongue.

Our interest in the history of this church is enhanced by the interchange
of courtesies between the Lutherans and Episcopalians. The late Samuel
Slaughter of this county remembered to have seen these Lutherans, when
they had no minister of their own, came to Buck Run Episcopal church id '
Culpeper to receive the holy communion; and the late venerable Mrs. Sarah
Lewis, the great-grandmother of Mrs. Dr Robert Lewis, of Culpeper, remem-
bered when the Lutheran minister, Mr. Carpenter, used to baptize and per-
form other ministerial offices for the Episcopalians of Madison when they had
no minister. Many of the first grist-mills on the Robinson River and its tribu-
taries were built by German mechanics. The first German settlers are said to
have suffered occasionally from the incursions of the Indians. There is a tra-
dition that the last person killed by the Indians in this region was murdered
near what is now New Hope Church. There are some large Old German Bi-
bles extant which have descended as heirlooms from the primitive Germans.
We are indebted to the venerable John Spotswood of Orange Grove, and to
Dr. Andrew Grinnan of Madison,, for some of the traditions referred to in the
above chapter.

EXTRACT FROM THE DIARY OF CAPTAIN PHILIP SLAUGHTER,

BEOIXNING IX 1775 AND COXTINUED TO 1849.

December 4th, 1849.— 1 am this day 91 years old. I was bom m 1758 at my
grandfather's, Major Philip Clayton's, who lived at Catalpa, where the Hon.
J. S. Barbour now lives. My father. Col. James Slaughter, then lived on the
Rappahannock River where Jones Green now lives. I went to school to
John Wigginton, a first-rate • English teacher in the Little Fork. My father
sold this farm to Gavin Lawson, and bought another of his brother. Col. Fran-
cis Slaughter, near Culpeper C. H., where Samuel Rixey now lives. When we
moved to the latter place, I went to write in the clerk's office with my grand-
father. Major Clayton, who did the duties of that oflQ.ce for Roger Dixon, the

47
clerk, whose home was in the lower country. After Dixon's death, John
Jameson', who had served a reg^ular apprenticeship in the clerk's office, Was
made clerk of the county. After several years' service in the office with Clay-
ton and Jameson, my father withdrew me and sent me to a **Grammar School"
of which Adam Goodlet (a Scotchman) was master, and which was the first
public school in which Latin and Greek were tauprht in Culpeper County.
[Adam Goodlet afterwards tau^rht school in the Taylor Settlement in Or-
ange. Col. F. Taylor often speaks of him in his diary, and mentions James
Madison, Jr., (the future President) examining Goodlet's scholars.]

After going to school to Goodlet 18 months, the American Revolution be-
gan, and I, not yet 17 years old, entered in Capt. John Jameson's company of
minute-men. Culpeper, Fauquier, and Orange having agreed to raise a regi-
ment, with Lawrence Taliaferro of Orange as Colonel, Edward Stevens of Cul-
peper as Lieutenant- Colonel, and Thomas Marshall of Fauquier as Major, the
regiment met in Major Clayton's old field, near Culpeper C. H., to drill, in
strong brown linen hunting-shirts, dyed with leaves, and the words **Liberty
or Death" worked in large white letters on the breast, bucktails in each hat,
and a leather belt about the shoulders with tomahawk and seal ping-knife. In
a few days an express came from Patrick Henry, commander of the First Vir-
ginia Continental Regiment, saying that Dunmore had attempted to carry the
military stores from the magazine at Williamsburg to the ships, &c. We
marched immediately, and in a few days were in Williamsburg. The people
hearing that we came from the backwoods, and seeing our savage-looking
equipments, seemed as much afraid of us as if we had been Indians. We took
pride in demeaning ourselves as patriots and gentlemen, and the people soon
treated us with respect and great kindness. Most of us had only fowling-piec-
es and squirrel -guns. Dunmore having gone on board of a British man of -war,
half of the minute-men were discharged.

My father. Col. James Slaughter, with Col. Marshall and others, had the
honor of being in the first battle (the Great Bridge) fought in Virginia. I was
sent home to school. In the spring of 177G I again left school and entered in
Col. John Jameson's troop of cavalry for three years. But before we marched
I was appointed by the Committee of Safety of Culpeper a Lieutenant in Capt.
Gabriel Long's company of riflemen, and we marched to join the army under
Washington in New York. In 1777 we were attached to the 11th Continental
Regiment, commanded by Daniel Morgan.

Lt. Slaughter was promoted to a captaincy in 1778, and served during the
war, being in the battles of Brandywine, Germantown, &c. He was one of the
sufferers at Valley Forge. His messmates were the two Porterfields, Johnson,
and Lt. John (Chief Justice) Marshall. They were reduced sometimes to a
single shirt, having to wrap themselves in a blanket when that was washed;
not one soldier in five had a blanket. The snow was knee deep all the winter,
and stained with the blood from the naked feet of the soldiers. From the
body of their shirts the officers had collars and wrist-bands made to appear on
parade.

Capt. Slaughter kept a diary of his campaigns, which was lost in the
wreck of so many fine libraries in the late war. Among the many anecdotes
with which it abounded was the following concerning the late Chief Justice
Marshall, at a camp on a night or two before the battle of Brandywine: — **At
ten in the night we were aroused from sleep. Lt. Marshall had raked up some
leaves to sleep on; he had pulled off one of his stockings in the night (the on-
ly pair of silk stockings in the regiment), and not being able to find it in
the dark, he set fire to the leaves, and before he saw it a large hole had been

48

burnt in it. He pulled it on so, and away we went," &c.

Capt. Slaughter's diary after the Revolution is preserved to 1849, when he
died and was buried in Kichmond.

LEWIS LITTLEPAGE.

•

As^was said in the text of this history, the Rev. J. Stevenson married Fan-
ny, the sister of Lewis Littlepage. This gentleman was bom in Hanover
county, Va., on 19th December, 1762, and died in Fredericksburg, July 19t!i,
1802. His career was brief, brilliant and unique; and yet there are but few
who seem to have heard of the battles, sieges, fortunes he had passed, the
many accidents by flood and field, his hair- breadth 'scapes, &c. His name has
nearly lapsed from history, or rather he never had a niche in our templ0 of
fame; for Europe and not America, was the theatre on which he played hfe
part. I am indebted to Dr. Payne, the great-grandson of Mr. Stevenson, fbr
an original letter, in which he narrates to his family the story of his life from
1785 to 1798. From the Memoirs of Elkanah Watson I am able to supply some
incidents of his life up to the time when the narrative in his own letter begins.

Mr. Watson says: — "During my residence at Nantes I became intimately
acquainted with Lewis Littlepage, one of the most remarkable characters of
the age. He arrived in Nantes during the winter of 1779-80 on his way to Ma-
drid, under the patronage of Mr. Jay, our stern and able minister to the court
of Spain. He was then a mere youth, of fine manly figure, with a dark, pene-
trating black eye, and a physiognomy peculiar and striking. At that early pe-
riod he was regarded as a prodigy of genius and acquirements. When I again
heard of him he had separated from Mr. Jay's family, and entered as a volun-
teer aide to the Duke de Cuillon at the siege of Minorca. At the attack of Gi-
braltar he was on one of the floating batteries, and Was blown up, but saved.
He participated in a conspicuous manner in the thrilling incidents of that
memorable siege. After his catastophe in the floating battery he got a situa-
tion on the Spanish Admiral's ship, and in one of the engagements he stood
upon the quarter-deck during the battle and sketched the various pontoons of
the fleet. On the return of the Spanish fleet to Cadiz he was sent with an oif-
ficer to Madrid with dispatches, and exhibited to the minister a curious and
scientific view of the battle, and was received with great applause and distinc-
tion at the court of Madrid. In the April following the close of the war I din-
ed with him at Dr. Franklin's, in Passy, and saw the sketch. At Paris and
Versailles he moved in the first circles and attracted marked attention. In
June he made a visit to my bachelor hall in Berkeley Square. London. I
never saw him again. He made the tour of Europe and established himself at
Warsaw, and became in effect, Prime Minister, went to St. Petersburg as am-
bassador from Poland, acquitted himself with distinguished ability, and be:
came one of the favorites of the Empress Catherine," &c.

The following letter of Lewis Littlepage to Lewis HoUiday takes up the
story of his lite where Watson's narrative ends, and completes the account of
his eventful career in Euroi)e.

Altoxa, 9th January, 1801.
J)EAR Sir:—

1 have this day received your letter of the 22nd August, 1800 . . . Since

his first confidential secretary, with the rank of Chamberlain In February,
1787, 1 was sent to negotiate a treaty with the Empress of Russia at Kiovia,
which 1 effected. The same year I was sent as secret and special envoy to the
court of France to assist in the negotiations for the grand Quadruple AlHanoe,

49

'hich failed. In 1788 I was recalled, and sent to Prince Potemkin's army in
ne Turkish war, where I commanded a division, acting at the same time in a
olitical character. In 1789 I was compelled to leave Poland and travel to It-
ly. Shortly after I received orders to repair to Madrid upon a high political
lission. in which I completely succeeded. In 1790 I was recalled from Spain
nd ordered to wait ultimate instructions at Paris. I afterwards received or-
ers to repair by the way of Berlin to Warsaw for the revolution of the 3d
[ay 1791. In 1792, 120,000 Russians invaded Poland. I was nominated Aide-
e-camp-general to the King, with the rank of Major General. He signed the
Dnfederation of Fargowitz, and in April, 1793, sent me once more as his spec-
d envoy to Petersburg to prevent the division of Poland. I was stopped by
le Russian Government on the road, and the division took place. In 1794
losciusko and Madalinski began another revolution in Poland. On 17th
pril the garrison and inhabitants of Warsaw rose in arms against the Rus-
ans; to save the life of my unfortunate friend and king I was obliged to take
art with Poland, and that dreadful battle ended in the slaughter of 10,000
.ussians. The Empress Catherine II. never forgave me my conduct upon that
scasion. She was more irritated against me by hearing that I had consented
> accept as commander-in-chief under the revolutionary government, al-
lough I was destined to act against Russia. My having assisted in repelling
le Russian armies in their attempt to storm Willna, gave also offence. In
lort, I had gone so far in the revolution that I should have gone much far-
ler had I not been defeated with my friend Prince Joseph Poniatoski, the
king's nephew, by the late King of Russia on the 2Gth August, 1794. That
irent lost me all my popularity. It was very near getting me hanged, for I
as regarded as the acting person, although upon my honor. Prince Poniatos-
1 acted that day against my advice. The King of 'Russia attacked us with
bout three times our force, both in men and artillery, and Kosciusko afford-
i us no support until we were beaten beyond redemption, although neither
is left or centre were engaged the whole day otherwise than in cannonading.

After the battle of 20th August 1 took no further part in military affairs
atil the storming of Prague, which cost the lives of 22,000 Polanders. On the
}h January, 1795, the King of Poland was taken from Warsaw by the Russians
) be conveyed to Grodno. I was separated from him by express orders of the
in press, and it was hinted to be that nothing less than my former services in
le Turkish war could have saved me from sharing the fate of the other chiefs
f the revolution of 1794. After the departure of the King I set out for Vienna,
ut was immediately ordered to leave that metropolis, which produced a pub-
e altercation between me and the Austrian ministry, but which ended to my
itisfaction, as Russia came forward and did me justice. The King of Prussia,
rederick William II., afterwards allowed me to return to Warsaw, then un-
er his dominion, where I remained until the death of the Empress Catherine
[. I was then invited to go to Petersburg with the King of Poland, but re-
ised unless reparation was made to me for the treatment I h^-d recently ex-
erienced. The Emperor said that "all that regarded his mother; as he had
iven no offence, he should make no reparation." I perhaps might have gone
t last to Russia, but was prevented by the sudden death of my friend, my
laster, my more than father. Stanislaus Augustus, King of Poland, who ex-
pired at Petersburg 12th Feb'y., 1798. After that melancholy event a long
orrespondence took place between the Emperor of Russia and myself, which
nded in his paying me in a very noble manner the sum assigned me by the
i-ing of Poland as a reward of my long and dangerous services.

I arrived in Hamburg in October last. My intention was to go either to

Prance .or England, but I found myself strangely embroiled with both these

?overnment8. I have settled matters in France, but not yet in England. The

ministers there persist in believing me to be sent upon a secret envoy from the

Eraperior of Russia, who is now at variance with England. God knows I am

sick of European politics. I intended to have spent the winter in Hamburg,

l>ut was driven from that sink of iniquity by a most atrocious plot against my

life and fortune. The latter is in safety, and should I perish even here under

the hospitable government of Denmark, I shall leave nine or ten thousand

pounds sterling so disposed of that my assassins cannot prevent its coming to

wy family. That sum is all I have saved from the wreck of my fortunes in

Poland. In the spring I shall proceed to America, either by the way of France

or directly from hence, provided I escape the daggers and poison with which I

aiu threatened here.

50

My duty and affection to my mother, and kindest remembrance to all re-
lations and friends.

Ever yours, my dear Sir.

LEWIS LITTLEPAGE.
Lewis Holliday.

If the adventurous career of Lewis Littlepage needed confirmation, inci-
dental proof and illustration of it will be found in the personal souvenirs de-
vised by him to Waller Holladay and inherited by Col. Alexander Holladay,
by whom they were kindly shown to the author:

1. The original patent conferring the position of Chamberlain upon Lew-
is Littlepage upon his entrance into the Polish Cabinet, 1787, signed by the
King.

2. The original patent of Knighthood of the Order of St. Stanislaus, 1790,
signed by the King.

3. The letter from the Prince of Nassau requesting the Marshal de LigDe
to give Lewis Littlepage a captaincy in the regiment Royale PAllemande, re-
citing Littlepage's distinguished service at Port Mahon and Gibraltar.

4. The letter of the Duque de Cuillon assigning Lewis Littlepage to his
staff.

5. The letter of Court Florda Blanca recommending Lewis Littlepage.

6. The passport of Lewis Littlepage for his mission to France.

7. Lewis Littlepage^s gold-hilted rapier presented to him by the Queen of
Spain.

8. Lewis Littlepage's gold key, his badge as chamberlain to the King of
Poland.

9. The portrait of the King of Poland presented to Lewis Littlepage by
the King on their final parting at Grodno.

Dr. Payne has too the insignia of Littlepage's knighthood, the Star of the
order of Stanislaus. In the centre is a convex silver plate, on which, formed
of small ruby sets, are the initials S. A. R., Stanislaus Augustus Rex; sur-
rounding this, wrought with gold thread, is the motto, Incitat Prokmiando.
Around this is a brilliant green border with gilt leaves. The rays of the star
are silver spangles.

THE TOBACCO PLANT.

A very curious article might be written on the literature of tobacco, in-
volving its relation to the church and the State, and its influence on the indi-
vidual mind and body, on manners and habits, and the general wealth and
happiness of the world. Such an article might be illustrated by the authority
of statesmen, lawyers, medical men, merchants, farmers and political econo-
mists, and adorned with gems of wisdom and of wit from nearly ail the En-
glish scholars and poets, from King James' "Counterblast" to Charles Lamb's
''Farewell to Tobacco," in which praises and curses alternate with amusing
felicity. It is interwoven with the history of Virginia at every stage of its
progress. In colonial times many Acts of Assembly were passed regulating its
culture, and one office of the early vestries was to appoint reputable freehold-
ers to count tobacco plants in each parish. Thus, as early as 1728, Goodrich
Lightfoot and Robert Slaughter counted the plants from the mouth of Moun-
tain Run (in what is now Culpeper) up to Joseph Howe's Plantation, and
across to the mouth of the Robinson River; Robert Green and Francis Kirtley
on the other side of Mountain Run to the North River; George Woots and
Michael Cook from the mouth of the Robinson River up to the Great M oun-

*J I

tains. The salaries of ministers and civil oificers were paid in tobacco, and it,
or notes representing it in the warehouse, were the currency of the country.
Some of these notes are now before us. Parishes too were known as **Orinoco"
and * 'Sweet-scented" parishes, according to the kind of tobacco grrown in them.
The salary of a minister was 10,000 lbs. of tobacco, the value of which varied
from £40 to £80 in money. A sweet-scented parish was worth much more than
an Orinoco parish. There was a deduction of 8 per cent, for cash, and tobac-
co was sometimes as low as six shillinprs current money. A minister's tobacco
was worth less than other like bulks of tobacco, because it was so mixed. Many
flourishing towns, as Dumfries and Falmouth, &c., where Scotch merchants
grew rich in this trade, sprang up in Virginia. In Glasgow there is now a
''Virginia Street," and that city received a great impulse from becoming the
entrepot whence the farmers- general of France derived their supplies of to-
bacco from Virginia.

Thk Pixe Trek axd its Fruits— Salaries paid ix Tar.

These two were subjects of legislation. Tar was once in great demand for
tarring the roofs of public and private buildings. Special instructions were
given by the General i^ssembly of Virginia for preparing pine-trees by strip-
ping the bark from the trunk of the trees, eight feet from the root, leaving a
small slip to keep the tree aliye, when in a short time, it was said, the sun
would draw the turpentine to the surface, and the whole trunk would become
light- wood.

It may not generally be known that towards the North Carolina line,
where little or no tobacco was grown, the minister was paid in tar, pitch and
pork; so says the Rev. Mr. Bagg in his report (1724) to the Bishop of London.

GENEALOGIES

OF SOME OF THE OLD VESTRYMEN AND COMMUNICANTS OF ST.

MARK'S PARISH.

Many of these family-trees had their roots in Great Britain ages ago; but
it would take too much space to trace them there. As a general rule, we limit
ourselves to the branches which were transplanted in Virginia. If our notices
of some of the families are more extended than those of othei's, it is because
the former were better known to us. Our design in printing these genealogies
is to gratify a natural desire, which most persons feel, to know something of
their forefathers, and to show how family-trees in a few generations interlock
their branches. It is more creditable to transmit an honorable name to one's
children than it is to derive it from one's ancestors, and to be descended from
S:ood and true men than from a long line of unworthy forefathers, even though
it be a line of kings and queens. But it seems to be unnatural and irrational
to attach more value to the pedigrees of horses and herds than to the pedi-
grees of men and women. One end of history is to reproduce the past for the
gi'atification and instruction of the present; and it is surely (at least) an inno-

cent curiosity to look back at those who in the past century cleared the land
which we now till, and who laid the foundation of the institutions under
which we live.

THE BARBOUR FAMILY.

«

This family is of Scotch origin. There was a John Barbour who was
Archdeacon of Old Aberdeen as early as 1357. He was the author of the his-
torical poem of the Life and Actions of King Robert Bruce. Whether he was
the root in Scotland of the branches of the family in Virginia, the writer does
not know. Our relations are with James Barbour, the first of the name in
what is now Culpeper.He was one of the first vestry men of St.Mark^s Parish at
its organization at Germanna in 1731, and served in that office until the di-
vision of the parish in 1740. which threw him into the new parish of St. Thom-
as in Orange County where he lived. If the old register of St. Thomas Parish
had been preserved, we should doubtless have found his name as vestryman
there. Among his children were 1st James, who represented Culpeper in the
House of Burgesses in 1764. He was the father of Mordecai Barbour, who
married a daughter of John Strode of Fleetwood in Culpeper, and of Thomas,
Richard and Gabriel, of whom the last three migrated to Kentucky. The
Hon. John S. Barbour, M. C, brilliant at the bar and in the legislative halls,
was the son of Mordecai and Miss Strode. He married Miss Beirne of Peters-
burg, and their children are, Ist John S. Barbour, President of the Virginia
Midland Railroad, who married a daughter of Henry Dangerfield of Alexan-
dria; 2d. James, member of Assembly and Convention, who married Miss Beck-
ham; 3d. Alfred, deceased; 4th. Dr. Edwin Barbour; 5th. Sally; 6th, Eliza (Mrs.
George Thomi)son.)

Thomas, son of James 1st, represented Orange in the Assembly in 1775, and
St. Thomas Parish in the Convention in 1 785-86-90. He married Isabella
Thomas, daughter of Philip Pendleton. There children were, 1st. Dr. Richard,
and 2d. Thomas, who died in their youth; 3d. Hon. Philip P. Barbour, Speak-
er of Congress, and of the Convention of 1829-30, and Justice of the Supreme
Court U. S. He married Frances Todd, daughter of Benjamin Johnson of
Orange. His children were: Ist. Philippa, who married Judge Field of Culpep-
er; 2d. Elizabeth, who married John J. Ambler of Jacquelin Hall, Madison
County; 3d. Thomas, M. D., who married Catherine Strother of Rappahan-
nock County; he died in St. Louis of cholera in 1849; 4th. Edmund Pendleton
who married Harriet, daughter of Col. John Stuart of King George, and died
in 1851; 5th. Quintus, who married Mary, daughter of James Somerville of
Culpeper; 6th. Sextus, died in St. Louis; 7th. Septimus, died in infancy. The
Hon. P. P. Barbour died in Washington, attending the Supreme Court. Feb-
ruary, 1841 His widow died April, 1872, aged 85.

4tli. James, son of Thomas and grandson of James 1st, was born June 10th,
1775. He was Governor of Virginia, Senator of U. S., Minister to England,
Secretary of War, &c. Besides their other qualities, the two brothers had a
wondrous faculty of speech in conversation and in the forum. James married^
October 29th, 1792, Lucy, daughter of Benjamin Johnson. Their children
were: -1st. Benjamin Johnson Barbour, who died in 1820 in the 20th year of
his age; 2d. James, who died November 7th, 1857: 3d. Benjamin Johnson Bar-
bour, born June 14th, 1821, and married November 17th, 1844, Caroline Homoe-'
seK daughter of the late eminent Dr. George Watson of Richmond. Mr. Bar-

.).>

bour inherits the genius of his father, informed by rare culture, but he follows
the example of his great-grandfather, and is content to be warden of the
church. He was elected to Congress in 1865; but the representatives of Vir-
ginia of that year were not admitted to their seats. 4th. Lucy, daughter of
Governor Barbour, married (1822) John Seymour Taliaferro, who was unhap-
pily drowned in 1830; 5th. Frances Cornelia Barbour married William Handy
Collins, a distinguished lawyer of Baltimore.

Among the daughters of Col. Thomas Barbour were: 1st. Lucy, who married
Thomas Newman and had three daughters, Mrs. Macon, Mrs. Welch and Wil-
helmina, and one son, James Barbour Newman. 2. Nelly, married Martin
Nalle of Culpeper, father of P. P. Nalle, warden of St. Paul's Church, who
married first Miss Wallace, and second Miss Zimmerman, and is the father of
Mrs. Steptoe, wife of the Rector of St. Paul's. Cordelia Nalle married Joseph
Hiden of Orange, father of Rev. J. C. Hiden (Baptist), Greenville, S. C. Ed-
monia Nalle married William Major, Esq., of Culpeper: Fanny Nalle married
John C. Hansbrough (lawyer); Martinette Nalle married Blucher Hansbrough
of Culpeper; Lucetta Nalle married George Booton of Madison; Jane Nalle
married George Clark of Washington, D. C; Thos. Nalle married Miss Hooe
of Fredericksburg; Benjamin Johnson Nalle died unmarried; Sarah Ellen
Nalle married Col. Garrett Scott, father of Rev. F. G. Scott of Christ
Church, Gordonsville, Va. ; and Mary Nalle m. Richard H. Willis.
Sally, daughter of Thomas Barbour, married Gabriel Gray,
and had daughters, Mrs. S. F. Leake, Mrs. William Anderson, Mrs. R. W. An-
derson, and Mrs. Cowles. Mary, daughter of Thos. Barbour, married Daniel
Bryan — children, Mrs. Lathrop, Mrs. Judge Wylie, Mrs. Brown, and two sons,
B. Bryan and Wm. Bryan.

James Barbour the head of the foregoing family, took out a patent for
land on the Rapidau in 1734.

On the farm of Col. Garrett Scott in Orange is a granite tombstone just as
old as St. Mark's Parish. The inscription is as follows: Here lyeth the' body
of Jane, wife of John Scott, who was born ye 28th Dec, 1699, and departed
this life ye 28th April, 1731. This farm is in direct lineal descent to the pres-
ent owner from a grant known as the "Todd Grant," from the Crown of En-
gland.

Note: In the Barbour genealogy page 52, the second paragraph should
read that Thos. son of James 1st. m. Mary dau. of Richard Thomas and Isa-
bella Pendleton Thomas.

THE CARTER FAMILY.

The first of this name in Virginia was Jno. Carter of Corotoman, who died
in 1669. A chart of his descendants would fill this book. I limit this notice to
those known to the writer in St. Mark's Parish. Robert, called King Carter,
was the son of John 1st, by his wife Sarah Ludlowe. Robert m. (1688) Judith
Armstead, and among their children was John, who (1723) m. Eliza Hill of
Shirley, and their third son Edward of Blenheim m. Sarah Champe
and their dau. Eliza, m. William Stanard of Roxbury, Spots-
ylvania, who was the grandfather of Virginia Stanard, who m.
Samuel Slaughter, the old churchwarden of St. Mark's, and was the mother of
Mrs. William Green of Richmond, of Mrs. Dr. Daniel Green, of Sally C, wife
of Rev. William Lockwood of Md., of Marcia (Mrs. JohnB. Stanard). Elizabeth
Stanard m. Jno. Thompson father of Fanny, wife of Rev. John Cole, of Miss
Eliza Thompson, and of Mrs. BufRngton. Jane, daughter of Edward of Blen-
lielm m. Major Bradford of the British army, father of Samuel K. Bradford of

54

the Revolution, whose son, Samuel K. Bradford, vestryman of St. Mark's m.
Emily, dauprhter of Samuel Slaughter (churchwarden of St. Mark's), and was
the father of S. S. Bradford, present churchwarden; of Mrs. Gen. Wright, U.
S. army ; of Mrs. Professor Naime of Columbia College, New York; of Dr.
Robert B. Bradford, and of Mrs. Van Schaik of New York City. William
Champe Carter of Farley, Culpeper County, sixth son of Edward of Blenheim,
m. Maria Farley, and their daughter Eliza Hill m. Col. Samuel Storrow, the
father of Mrs. Judge Bell, of Mrs. Dr. Wm. Thompson, of Mrs. Weston, of Mre.
Green, of Samuel and Farley. Charles Carter of Cleve, son of King Carter by
his second wife Mary Landon, had a daughter Sarah who m. William a son of
Rev. John Thompson of St. Mark's, who was the father of Commodore Chal^
les Carter Byrd Thompson, U. S. navy, of Gilliss and of William Thompson.

THE CAVE FAMILY.

Among the members of the first vestry of St. Mark's in 1731 was Benjauiin
Cave. I have in my possession the original patent for 1000 acres of land on
the Rappidan (sic) River, to Abraham Bledsoe and Benjamin Cave, "to be
held in free and common socage, and not in capite or knight service, by pay-
ing yearly the free rent of one shilling for every fifty acres, on the feast of St.
Michael the Archangel"; signed by William Gooch, Lieut.-Governor and Com-
mander-in-Chief of the Colony and Dominion of Virginia. Done at Williams-
burg, under the seal of the Colony, 28th September, 1728.

Benjamin Cave was vestryman of St. Mark's until 1740, when St. Thomas
Parish was cut off from St. Mark's; and he and David Cave, who was Lay
Reader at tlie old Orange Church near Ruckersville, became members of the
new parish (St. Thomas) in Orange County, where they lived The records of
St. Thomas being lost, their relation to it cannot be traced. It is known, how-
ever, that the family adhered to the Church of their fathers; and one of the
old ministers, about 1740, lived with Benjamin Cave, Sr., whose residence was
within reach of the first chapel (near Brooking's) and the old Orange Church.

I have in my possession some original poems in MS., entitled "Spiritual
Songs," written by a sister of Benjamin Cave, Sr., endorsed 1767. It is very
pleasant to find one of these old-time church people, who some modem people
think had no religion, giving utterance to her pious emotions in songs which
are evidently the outpourings of a truly devotional spirit. It is said that Ben-
jamin Cave used to repeat the church service from memory, chanting the
psalms.

The first Benjamin Cave lived for a time at what is now known as Rhodes in
Orange, and then moved to land on the Upper Rapidan near Cave's Ford,
which derives its name from hifn.

Benjamin Cave represented Orange in the House of Burgesses in 1750. He

THE CLAYTONS.

The first person of this name who appears in the history of Virginia was
the Rev. John Clayton, who had been Rector of Crofton in Yorkshire. In 16-
83 he addressed to the Royal Society in England, at their request, several let-
ters giving an account of what he calls **Several Observables" in Virginia.
These letters discuss the soil, climate, natural history and agriculture of the
colony of that day. They display great acuteness of observation, fullness of
learning, and practical suggestions. He seems to have been the first to point
out the value of marl and muck as fertilizers, and suggest to the planters the
advantage of draining the tidewater swamps. And when his opinion was
laughed at and rejected by the overseers, he went to work and put them to
shame by laying dry a pond of water, bringing to the light of the sun inex-
haustible soil.

The next man of mark of this name was the Rev. David Clayton, minister
of Blissland Parish, New Kent Co., Virginia, from 1704 to 1724. In his paroch-
ial reports to the Bishop of London he says (1724) that his parish was sixty
miles long, that he had under his charge 136 families and about seventy com-
municants.

There is John Clayton at Williamsburg, Attorney General, and a friend of
Spotswood, who accompanied Mr. Fontaine in the first trip to Germahna in
1714. There was also a Clayton a vestryman and justice in Essex Co. The
family tradition is that Major Philip Clayton came to Culpeper from New
Kent through Essex. What was his precise relation to the foregoing clergy-
men is not certainly known. His name first appears in our church records in the
year 1741, when he was chosen vestryman of St. Mark^s, and a patent for land
from Lord Fairfax to John Brown (now before us) is endorsed as having been
surveyed by Phillip Clayton, 1749. He was the deputy, doing all the duties of
the office for Roger Dixon, Clerk of Culpeper, who lived in the lower country.
He married Ann, sister of Robert Coleman, on whose land the courthouse was
built. He had one son, Samuel (his successor in the vestry), who married his
cousin Ann Coleman, and among their children were Major Philip Clayton the
second, an oflBcer of the Revolution, whose daughter Sarah Ann married Dr.
James B. Wallace.

Nancy, sister of the last Philip, and daughter of Samuel, married Jeremi-
ah Strother, and was the grandmother of the Rev. J. S. Hansbrough, and Mrs.
Judge Williams of Orange C. H., Colonel Woodson Hansbrough, and Mrs.
Waldridge.

56

Lucy, dau. of the first Philip, married William Williams (vestryman),
and their children were Major John, General James, both officers in the Rev-
olution, Philip of Woodstock, William Clayton of Richmond, Mrs. Stevens and
Mrs. Green. (See Williams genealogy.)

Susan, another daughter of the first Philip, mArried Colonel James Slaugh-
ter, father of Captain Philip Slaughter. (See Slaughter genealogy).

Another daughter married Nathaniel Pendleton, brother of Judge Edmund
Pendleton, President of the Court of Appeals (see Pendleton genealogy). An-
other daughter married a Crittenden, and was the mother (I believe) of Sena-
tor Crittenden of Kentucky.

Major Philip Clayton the elder lived at Catalpa, so named from a Catalpa
tree he transplanted from Essex, the first of its kind in the county.

Philip Clayton went from Virginia to Georgia, where he died, and was
buried at Sand Hills, near the city of Augusta. His children were first. George
Roots of Milledgeville, cashier of State Bank and treasurer of the State, high-
ly honored and esteemed. 2. Augustine Smith Clayton, of Athens, graduated
at Franklin College, distinguished at the bar. Judge of the Western Circuit,
and member of Congress, where he won a national reputation. He was an
able statesman, jurist and man of letters, and left his impress upon the policy
and literature of the State. He died a Christian, on 1st of June, 1839, in the
56th year of his age, leaving ninJB children, viz. George Roots, Augustine
Smith, Wm. Wirt, Cashier Merchants Bank, Atlanta; Philip, consul at Callao,
and churchwarden, St. Paul's, Greensboro, died 1877; Almyra; Dallas; Edward
P., cotton factor and commission merchant of Augusta, and churchwarden of
St. Paul's; Julia; Claudia, and Augusta.

THE CON WAY FAMILY.

This family has been identified with the Episcopal Church from the earli-
est times. You may trace the name through the vestry-books from the first
settlements in the Northern Neck to the present time. I have in my posses-
sion the will of Edwin Conway, dated 19th of March, 1698. In the graveyard
of Whitechapel, Lancaster County, there is a tombstone of Mary Ball, daugh-
ter of Edwin Conway, and one of James Ball, her husband, who was a near
relative of Gen. Washington's grandfather, who was the son of Col. Wm. Ball,
the first of the name who came from England in 1650 and settled at the mouth
of Corotoman River. I transfer from the will the following clauses: — **First
and PRINCIPALLY, I bequeath my soul to the God that gave it, in certain
hope, notwithstanding my unworthiness, to receive pardon of all my sins,
through the blessed merits of my dear Redeemer; and by no other way or
means do I hope for pardon. My body I commit to be buried in my burying-
ground at Lancaster, by the left side of my dear wife Sarah, in certain hope,
thro' the merits aforesaid, that soul and body will have a joyful meeting at
the resurrection of the just." He gives to his son Francis and to his heirs law-
fully begotten 706 acres of land in Essex; to the child or children "whereof my
wife now goeth withal" the crop of sweet-scented tobacco on the lower planta-
tation. To his son Edwin all the lands in Lancaster given him by deed, with
his mathematical books and instruments, and all "the cloth and stuff sent for
to England." He appoints his friend Andrew Jackson, Reuben Conway and
H. Thacker to be overseers of his will, desiring them to carefully advise and
instruct his children in their persons and estates and to be assistants to his
dear wife.

The aforesaid E. Conway married Elizabeth Thompson. Their son Fran-
cis, near Port Roj^al, Caroline, married Rebecca, daughter of John Catlett and
Elizabeth Grimes. (This John Catlett was son of the John Catlett killed by
the Indians while defending the fort at Port Royal.) Nelly, daughter of Fran-
cis and granddaugliter of Edwin Conway, married James Madison, Sr., and
was the mother of President Madison, who was born at Port Conway, opposite
to Port Royal, where his mother was visiting, at 12 o'clock at night between
the 6th and 6th of March, 1751, and was baptized the 31st of March by the
Rev. Wm. Davis, and had for godfathers John Moore and Jonathan Gibson,
and for godmothers Mrs. Rebecca Moore and Misses Judith and Elizabeth Cat-
lett.

The author of this will was the great-grandfather of old Capt. Catlett Con-
way, of Hawfield, in Orange (now owned by Wm. Crenshaw, Esq.,) who was
the father of the late Francis, Catlett, John and Henry Conway, of Orange
and Madison; of Mrs. Hay Taliaferro, of Rose Hill, Orange County, and of Mrs.
Fitzhugh, of Bedford, Kin^ George. Dr. Charles Conway (vestryman) is a di-
rect descendant of the old vestryman, the first Edwin Conway of Lancaster.

THE FIELDS.

The first person pf the name in the parish register is Henry Field, Sr., a
member of the first vestry chosen by the freeholders and housekeepers of St.
Mark^s Parish, at Germanna, in January 1781. The next is Abraham Field,
elected vestryman at the Great Fork Church in 1744, and served till his death
in 1774, a term of thirty years. He had a son John, who represented Calpep-
er in the House of Burgesses in 1765. He was probably the Col. John Field
who had served in Braddock's War, and who fell, fighting gallantly at the head
of his regiment, at the battle of Point Pleasant. One of his daughters married

68

Lawrence Slaughter, an officer of the Revolution, and who was the father of
John Field Slaughter, who married Miss Alexander, of Prince William. An-
other of Col. John Field's daughters married Col. George Slaughter, who rais^
ed one of the first companies of minute-men in Culpeper; and after the war
moved to Kentucky with George Rogers Clarke, commanded a fort at the Falls
of the Ohio, and was one of the founders of the city of Louisville, which was
then in the State of Virginia.

Henry Field, Sr., the vestryman of 1731, served in that office and as church-
warden till 1762, a term of thirty-one years. He executed many eommiissions
for the vestry, such as going to Williamsburg on horseback several times on
their behalf, and paying quit-rents for the churches and glebes. He and
Francis Slaughter and Robert Oreen chose a site for a chapel between Shaw's
Mountain, the DeviPs Run and Hazel River. He was succeeded in the vestry
by Henry Field, Jr., who served till his removal from the parish of St. Mark's
into Bromfield Parish, whose records are lost or we should probaly have found
his name on the vestry-books there. He represented Culpeper in the Conven-
tion at Williamsburg in 1774 to consider the state of the country, in the House
of Burgesses in 1775, and with French Strother in the Convention of 1776
which asserted the principle of religious liberty, declared American independ-
ence, and adopted the first Constitution. Henry Field, Jr., died in 1785, leav-
ing six sons — Daniel, Henry, George, Joseph, Thomas and John, who were the
ancestors of the families of that name. The late judge of this court, Richard
H. Field, and his brothers Yancey and Stanton, were the sons of Daniel Field
of what is now Madison. He (the Judge) married first Matilda, daughter of
Robert Slaughter of the. Grange, and second Philippa, daughter of the Hon.
Philip P. Barbour. His three sons were killed in battle during the late war,
and his daughter (Mrs. Norvell) is the only surviving child. Gen. James Field
of the Culpeper bar, who lost a limb at the battle of Slaughter's Mountain, is
a son of Yancey Field. He married Miss Cowherd of Orange.

THE FRY FAMILY.

The ancestor of the Frys who once so abounded in Culpeper, was Col. Josh-
ua Fry, an Englishman educated at Oxford. He lived some time in Essex, was
Professsor of Mathematics at William and Mary College, a member of the
House of Burgesses, commissioner to run one of the lines between Virginia and
North Carolina^ and negotiator of the treaty of Logstown. He, with Peter
Jefferson, made a map of Virginia in 1749. He commanded a regiment against
the French and Indians, of which Washington was lieutenant-colonel. I am
indebted to his lineal descendant Frances Fry, of Charlottesville, for a copy of
his commission, from the original in Mr. Fry's possession: —

''To Joshua frye

''His Majesty, by his royal instructions, commanded me to send a proper
number of forces to erect and maintain a fort at the Monongahela and Ohio
Rivers; and having a good opinion of your loyalty, conduct and ability, I do
hereby institute, appoint and commission you to be Colonel and Commander-
in chief of the forces now raising, to be called the Virginia Regiment, with
which and the cannon, arms and ammunition, necessary provisions and stores,
you are with all possible dispatch to proceed to said fork of Monongahela, and
there act according to your instructions."

Col. Joshua Fry-married Mra Hill, the daughter of Paul Micon, a French
Huguenot physician. He was the father of the Rev. Henry Fry, who lived in
the fork of Crooked Run and the Robinson River, and occasionally preached
in the Episcopal church near Orange C. H., when they had no minister, always
prefacing his sermons with the old church service, says Col. Frank Taylor, a

59
38tryman of that church. He wan one of those grood and ^ileless men whom
1 Christians respected and loved. His son Reuben m. Ann dau. of Col. Jas.
laughter, and their ch. were Judge Joseph Fry, of Wheeling, Henry, Senator
P Kanawha, and Philip S., late clerk of Orange and father of Philip, present
lerk, William, Thomas and Luther. Thomas W., son of Rev. H. Frj^ m. 1st
[rs. Slaughter, whose maiden name was Bourn, and 2d Ann dau. of Col. Abram
[aury of Madison. He with three ch. moved to Kentucky (1816). Joshua m.
[iss Walker, and Mrs. Willis dau. of William Twymian. Hugh and Joshua
'ry, of Richmond, were his sons. Henry m. Mildred dau. of Rev. Mat. Maury,
^nk Fry, Sr., of Charlottesville, is their son. John m. Miss Hey wood, of
lulpeper, and lived at the Warm Springs. Mrs. Dr. Archer Strother was his
au. Wesley m. 1st Miss Walker, and 2nd a French lady. Miss Leflet, and had
birteen children. Thornton m. a dau. of Hon. Philip R. Thompson, and their
h. were Gen. Burkitt Fry, C. S. A., Dr. Frank and Mrs. Jno. L. Bacon, of
Richmond. Margaret dau. of Rev. Henry m. Philip Lightfoot and moved to
Kentucky. Martha m. Goodrich Lightfoot and had ten ch., of whom Edward
lightfoot, of Madison, is the only survivor. Maria m. Hugh Walker and went
3 Kentucky, and had many children.

Col. Joshua Fry, the head of this family in Virginia, patented 1000 acres of
ind on the Robinson River in 1726, and 400 acres "in the fork of the Robinson"
1 1739. Charles Meriwether Fry, of the Bank of New York, who m. Miss
leigh, is the son of Belville, who was the son of Joshua, who was the son of
lev. Henry Fry.

THE GARNETT FAMILY.

The chief seat of this family in Virginia was the county of Essex, where
lany of this name occupied a high social position and filled many places of
lubllc trust. The Hon. James M. Gamett was a member of Congress from
805 to 1809. The Hon. Robert S. Gamett was in Congress from 1817 to 1827.
^he Hon. Muscoe Gamett was also a member of Congress and of the State
Convention of 1850. Dr. A. Y. P. Gamett who married the daughter of Gover-
lor Wise, has been for many years a leading medical man of Washington City.
?here was a General Garnett of the Confederate army who fell in battle, whose
ister married Professor Williamson of the Virginia Military Institute; and
here is now a Professor Garnett in the College at Annapolis, Md.

I have been disappointed in receiving the information which would have
nabled me to show the connecting links between these several members of
be family in Virginia. The first of the name in Culpeper was Anthony Gar-
lett, who came from Essex, and from the names James, Muscoe and Reuben,
^hich are common to both families, they probably sprang from the same stock.
Lnthony Garnett was a vestryman, churchwarden and lay reader of St. Mark's
*arish from 1758. He lived at the Horse Shoe, where Joseph Wilmer, Jr.,
low resides, and when there was no minister of the parish, was in the habit of
mrying the dead with the church service. He married Mrs. Bowler (Miss
Tones), and his children were Robin, who moved to Kentucky and died in his
linety-eighth year. His daughter married Stokely Towles of Madison, and
;heir daughter married James L. Waggener of Russelville, Ky., father of Prof.
SVaggener of Bethel College, Ky. James, son of Anthony, was minister of

COLONEL JOHN GREEN.

CoLOXKL John Greex (4th. son of the first Robert), was born in Culpep^^
county about 1730. He m. Susanna Blackwell; was chosen collector of St>
Mark's Parish 1761; made churchwarden with his brother Robert in 1764. I^
1776 Richard Yancey was chosen vestryman **in place of John Green, in Coim
tinental service." Colonel Green entered the military service of Virginia aa^
Captain 1 St. Va. Bat., Sept. 4, 1775. When his command was mustered int^
the Continental JJne, he was re-elected Capt., Jan. 20, 1776, at which time lw~*

Oil

was under the command of Gen. Andrew Lewis at Williamsburg. In the fall
of that year he served under Washington in New York; was engaged with his
troops at Mamaroneck in the attack on Major Roberts of the British Army,
Oct., 21, 1776, when he was wounded in the shoulder.

**A detachment of our men under Col. Hay let surprised Major Rogers and
his regiment at Marinack last night. * * * We have two men killed and
twelve wounded, among them Major Greene, of the 1st. Va. Reg't., an oificer
of great merit." (Force.) Col. Tench Tilghman, in his report of the action,
says: *^Gen. Washington detached Major Green, of Va., with 150 men of the
1st. and 8rd. Va. Reg'ts., and Colonel Haslet, of Del., with 600 men to support
them. * * * We had 12 wounded, among them Major Green, in the shoul-
der." (Force.) In 1777 (Carrington says) **a portion of Greene's Va. Reg't.
joined the garrison at Fort MifQin," and took part in the gallant defence of
that post. Col. Green was promoted by Congress. Jan. 26, 1778, to be colonel
of the 6th. Va. Reg't., with which command he acted with conspicuous brave-
ry at Brandywine and Monmouth. At Gilford C. H., he covered the retreat of
Gen. Greene, but to his own personal dissatisfaction. When Gen. Greene de-
cided that his safety lay in withdrawing his troops from action, **Col. Greene
of Va., was ordered to withdraw his regiment from the line, and to take a po-
sition at some distance in the rear, for the purpose of affording a rallying point
to the fugitives, and of covering the retreat of the two regiments which con-
tinued in the field." (Marshall, IV. 431.) Gen. Lee, in his memoirs, describing
the battle, says: "Colonel Green, one of the bravest of brave soldiers, with his
regiment of Virginians, was driven off without having tasted of battle, and or-
dered to a given point in the rear for the security of this movement (the re-
treat), which was performed deliberately under cover of Col. Green."

Col. Green was much dissatisfied with the General's selection of his regi-
ment for this service - though esteemed among the most honorable — so anxious
was the veteran officer to be led at once into keen conflict. When it was an-
nounced upon the first of the retreat that the British were close advancing he
became better humored, but soon the pursuit was discontinued, and his sour-
ness returned. His friends would often console him by stating his selection as
an evidence of the confidence reposed in him as a soldier. This would not sat-
isfy the Colonel, who never failed to reply that he did not like such sort of dis-
tinction; and he hoped the Gen. would upon the next occasion attach to some
other regiment the honor of covering his retreat. Getting to the General's ears
he took the first opportunity of telling the Colonel, whom he much esteemed
and respected, that he had heard he did not relish the part assigned to his
regiment the other day. "No, that I did not," replied the old Colonel. "Well,"
rejoined Greene, "be patient, you shall have the first show the next time."
This delighted him,and he always reckoned upon the promised boon with pleas-
ure. — [The publishers are indebted to Rev. Horace Edwin Hayden's "Virginia
Genealogies" for the above information relative to Col. Green's service in the
war of the Revolution.]

Colonel Green's sons were William, m. Lucy Clayton Williams; John,
killed at Valley Forge in a duel; Robert, m. Frances Edmunds; Moses m. Fan-
ny Richards; Thomas, m. 1st. Miss Miller, 2nd. Lucy Peyton.

There has been a continuous succession of vestrymen in this family, from
Robert of 1731, who was a member -of the House of Burgesses, to Major J. W.
Green, late a leading member of the Culpeper bar.

THE LIGHTFOOTS.

The Lightfoots were among the early colonists in Virginia. They seem
to have settled originally in Gloucester and James City when the latter em-
braced what is now Charles City County. Colonel Philip Lightfoot was a ves-
tryman of Petsworth Parish as early as 1683. By his last will he devised his
lands to his eldest son Francis, remainder to his son Philip. Franoiw devised
his lands to his daughter Elizabeth, who married Peter Randolph of Henrico ;
remainder to his brother Philip Lightfoot. The entail was docked by the
House of Burgesses in 1740, and by agreement between the parties these lands
were vested in Philip Lightfoot.

The present writer remembers to have seen^at Sandy Point in Charles City
when it was owned and occupied by Col. Robt. B. Boiling, divers portraits of
the old Lightfoots. There were three William Lightfoots in succession at
Sandy Point, and their tombs are still there. The first died in 1727, the sec-
ond in 1809, and the third in 1810. We have in our possession now a copy of
Bayle8\folio dictionary, in ten volumes, with the name and coat-of-arms of
William Lightfoot Tedington on each volume. Tedington was one of the
four farms which composed the splendid estate of Sandy Point, between the
James and Chickahominv Rivers. Three of these farms were inherited Iby

Miss Minge (Mrs. Robert B. Boiling), and the fourth was added by Mr. Boiling.

•

There is a family of Lightfoots at Port Royal, Caroline^ represented by the
late Philip Lightfoot and his sons, Lewis Lightfoot and his brother John.

In 1720 we find the name of Major Goodrich Lightfoot as a member of the
vestry of St. George's Parish, Spotsylvania, when that parish and county em-
braced what was afterwards the parish of St. Mark's and county of Culpeper.
He was one of the lay readers at the Germanna Church, and he and Robert
Slaughter were appointed to count all the tobacco pJants from the mouth of
the Rapidan to the mouth of Mountain Run,and up Mountain Run and ac;*oss
to the mouth of the Robinson River, in obedience to an Act of the Assembly
limiting the number of plants to be cultivated by each planter.

At the organization of St. Mark's Parish, at Germanna in 1781, he was cho-
sen a member of the first vestry by the freeholders and housekeepers of St.
Mark's, his home being within the limits of the new parish. He served as ves-
tryman and churchwarden till his death in 1738, and was succeeded by Cap-
tain Goodrich Lightfoot in 1741, who served till his removal from the parish
in 1771. William Lightfoot was also a vestryman from 1762 to 1758, when he
moved out of its bounds to the parish of BromfieJd, which had been cut oflf
from St. Mark's in 1752. William, we think, was the father of Goodrich, who
married the daughter of the Rev. Henry Fry, who lived in the fork of Crooked
Run and the Robinson River. Goodrich Lightfoot lived opposite to the pres-
ent home of George Clark, Esq., on the Robinson River. He was the brother
of the late Major Philip Lightfoot of the Culpeper bar, and of Walker Light-
foot (clerk), and he was the father of Frank Lightfoot, clerk
of Culpeper, who married Miss Fielder (father of Col. Charles
E. Lightfoot), and of Edward, of Madison, who married Miss Con-
ner, and is the father of Virginia; and John, who married Miss. Turner, the
granddaughter of Major Jphn Roberts of the Revolution, whose wife was the
daughter of the old vestryman Captain Robert Pollard.

From the names of Philip, John, and William, which were common to
these several branches of the Lightfoots, the presumption is that they sprang
from the same stock.

n

THE MADISON FAMILY.

From the record of James Madison, Sr., the father of the President, and
rrom the record of James Madison, Jr., the President.

The first of the name in Virginia, John Madison patented land in Gloucester
county, in 1653. His son John was the father ol Ambrose, who man*ied Fran-
ces, daughter of James Taylor, Aug. 29th, 1721. Their son, James Madison, Sr.,
was married to Nelly, daughter of Francis Conway of Caroline, Sept. 13th,
1749. James Madison, Jr., (the President) was born at Port Conway at 12
o'clock (midnight) 6th March, 1751, was baptized by Rev. Wm. Davis, March
31st, and had for godfathers John Moore and Jonathan Gibson, and , for god-
mothers Mrs. Rebecca Moore and Misses Judith and Elizabeth Catlett. Fran-
ces, daughter of James, Sr., bom June 18th, 1753, baptized by the Rev. Mungo
Marshall, July Slst; godfathers, Richard Beale and Erasmus Taylor; godmoth-
ers, Miss Milly Taylor and Mrs Frances Beale. Ambrose, son of James, Sr!,
born Jan. 27th, 1756, baptized by Rev. Mr. Marshall, March 2d; godfathers,
James Coleman and George Taylor; godmothers, Mrs. Jane Taylor and Alice
Chew. Catlett, son of James Sr., born Feb. 10th, 1758, baptized by Rev. Jas.
Maury, Feb. 22d; godfathers, Col. Wm. Taliaferro and Richard Beale; god-
mothers, Mrs. E. Beale and Miss Milly Chew. Nelly, daughter of James, Sr.,
(Mrs. Hite) born Feb. 14th, 1760, baptized March 6th by Rev. Wm. Giberne;
godfathers, Larkin Chew and Wm. Moore; godmothers. Miss E. Catlett and
Miss C. Bowie. William Madison born May 1st, 1762, baptized May 23d by Rev.
James Marye, Jr.; godfathers, William Moore and Jas. Taylor; godmothers,
Miss Mary Willis and Miss Milly Chew. Sarah (Mrs. Thomas Macon), born
Aug 17th, 1764, baptized Sept. 15th, by Rev. James Marye; godfathers Capt. R.
J. Barbour and Andrew Shepherd; godmothers, Mrs. Sarah Taylor and Miss
Mary Conway. Elizabeth Madison born Feb. 19th, 1768, baptized Feb. 22d by
Rev. Thomas Martin; godfathers. Major T. Burnley and Ambrose Powell; god-
mothers. Miss Alice and Miss Nelly Chew. Reuben Madison born Sept. 19th,
1771, baptized Nov. 10th by Rev. Mr. Barnett; godfathers, Francis Barbour and
James Chew; godmothers, Alice and Nelly Chew. Francis Taylor Madison
I Mrs. Dr. Robert Rose) bom Oct 9th, 1774, baptized Oct. 30th by Rev. Mr.
Wingate; godfathers, Thos. Bell and Richard Taylor; godmothers Miss Frances
and Miss Elizabeth Taylor. Here the old family record closes. It is a model
record, which others would do well to imitate. In it we have the succession
of the ministers of the parish, Wingate being the last of the colonial clergy.
James Madison, Jr., was chairman of the Committee of Public Safety and an
active vestryman.

The living representatives of James Madison.Sr., so tar as is known by tlie
writer, are:

1. The oldest child (Nelly) of Ambrose, eldest son of James Madison, Sr.
married Dr. Willis and their living descendants are Col. John Willis of Orange
and his children.

2. Of General William Madison, 2nd brother of James Madison Jr., (Presi-
dent) the living descendants are Wm. Madison and children of Texas, Dr. Jas
Madison of Orange, and the children of Col. John Willis through their mother;
the wife and children of Wm. P. Dvabney of Powhatan; the children of Robert
Marye; the wife and children of Dorsey Taliaferro of Texas ; the children of
Major John H. Lee by his second wife Fanny, daughter of Lewis Willis and
Eliza Madison; Dr. Robert Madison (the son of Robert) and his children, Vir-
ginia Military Institute; the children of Daniel F. Slaughter by his first wife,
Letitia Madison; and the children of Dr. Thomas T. Slaughter by his first wife.

72

Of Frank, third brother of the President, the representatives are the chil-
dren of Alexander and Thompson Shepherd.

The eldest sister of the President, Nelly (Mrs. Hite), left a son and daugh-
ter. Her son Madison Hite, left two sons and a daughter (Mrs. Baker), all be-
lieved to be living. Her daughter Nelly married Dr. Baldwin. Miss Baldwin,
the untiring Missionary in Greece, and now at Joppa, is the illustrious oif-
spring of this marriage.

The second sister of the President, Sarah, married Thomas Macon. Of a
number of children of this marriage, two only left issue. 1. Conway Macon
left a son and three daughters. The son, who was killed at Manassas, left an
only son, Edgar, now living. Conway Macon^s daughter married Washington,
Cave and Smith; the first and last of whom are living and have several chil-
dren. 2. James Madison Macon's daughters, Mrs. Hite and Mrs. Knox. There
was also a Thomas Macon, Jr., and that mother in Israel, the late Mrs. Reuben
Conway, was a daughter of Thomas Macon, Sr., and Sarah Madison.

The youngest sister of the Prebident, Fanny, married Dr. Robert Rose and
they emigrated to Tennessee about 1822 or '23 with children, Ambrose, Hugh,
James, Robert, Erasmus, Henry, Sam, Nelly, Frances and Mary. Of these,
Dr. Erasmus Rose, if living, is a resident of Memphis.

James Madison, Sr., the zealous old vestryman, had a habit of making
short sketches of sermons he heard. Col. John Willis had some of them. His
great son, the President, left among his papers comments on the Gospels and
the Acts of the Apostles. Among these are the following: — "Christ's Divinity
appears in St. John, ch. xx. v. 28.'' On the words of Christ to St. Paul, "Arise
and go into the city, and it shall be told tnee what thou shalt do,'' his com-
ment is, "It is not the talking,but the walkins^ and working person that is the
true Christian.'* It was he that furnished a list of theological authors for the
Library of the University of Virginia. There are doubtless other descendants
of James Madi8on,Sr.,but the author of this notice is unable to trace the line
of their connection with him.

The Preliminaries Of Marriage In ante-Revolutionary Times.

The following correspondence will show how courtships were conducted
by our forefathers. The patriarchal authority was recognized, and young
folks did not make love until the preliminaries were arranged by their fathers.
We are indebted to Mr.K. Nel8on,a lineal descendant of the parties, for the or-
iginal letters; as the old folks have been dead for more than a hundred years,
we presume no one's delicacy will be offended by the exposition of these illus-
trations of a past age. In the foregoing Spotswood genealogy will be found
bhe relations of the parties to the past and present generations.

May 27th, 1764.

Dear Sir:— My son, Mr. John Walker, having informed me of his inten-
tion to pay his addresses to your daughter Elizabeth, if he should be agreea-
ble to yourself, lady and daughter, it may not be amiss to inform you what 1
think myself able to afford for their support, in case of an union. My affairs
i.re in an uncertain state; but I will promise one thousand pounds, to be paid
in the year 1765, and one thousand pounds to be paid in the year 1766; and'the
further sum of two thousand pounds I promise to give him, but the uncertain-
ty of my present affairs prevents my fixing on a time of payment: — the above
sums are all to be in money or lands and other effects at the option of my said
5on, John Walker

• I am, Sir, vour humble servant,

JOHN WALKER.
CoL. Bernard Moore, FJsq.,

in King William.

28th May, 1764.
Dear Sir: — Your son, Mr. John Walker, applied to me for leave to make
bis addresses to my daughter Elizabeth. I gave him leave, and told him at
the same time that my affairs were in such a state that it was not in my pow-
er to pay him all the money this year that I intended to give my daughter,
provided he succeeded; but would give him five hundred pounds next spring,
and five hundred pounds more as soon as I could raise or get the money;
which sums, you may depend, I will most punctually pay to him.

I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

BERNARD MOORE.

THE WINSTON-HENRY GENEALOGY.

Richmond, Virginia, September Slst, 1876.
Mrs. Daniel Slaughter.

Dear Madam:— I have been informed that your maiden name was Winston,
and that you have a family tree. As I am very anxious to learn accurately
the Winston ancestry of my grandfather, Patrick Henry, I trust j^ou will par-
don me for asking a copy of the tree, or if it is a very large one, of that part
which relates to his ancestry.

1 am, very respectfully,

Wm. Wirt Henry.

CrLPKPKR, Virginia, October 10th, 1876.
Dear Sir:

My sister, Mrs. Daniel Slauorhter, has requested me to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your letter of the 21st ultimo, and to answer it. The account of the
Winston family in our possession was written for the satisfaction of her own
family by my grandmother, whose maiden name was Lucy Coles, a grand-
daughter of Isaac Winston the emigrant; and she married her cousin Isaac
Winston, a grandson of the same emigrant. I will compile a genealogy of the
family from my grandmother's record, and from information of a later date
derived from other sources. I have compared her record with the old wills,
also in our possession, and I find it correct for two generation^.

Isaac Winston, the most remote ancestor of that name that I can trace
back to, was born in Yorkshire England, in 1620. A grandson of his pursued
his fortunes in Wales, where he had a large family. Three of his sons emi-
grated to America^ and settled near Richmond, Virginia, in 1704. Their names
were William, Isaac and James. It is the genealogy of the descendants of
Isaac, the second of these brothers, that ray grandmother has written.

Isaac Winston the emigrant, married Mary Dabney, and died in Hanover
County in 1760, leaving six children, William, Isaac, Anthony, Lucy, Mary
Ann, and Sarah. I do not mention them in the order of their births; on the
contrary, I think Sarah, the last mentioned, was the oldest.

1. William, son of Isaac Winston; the emigrant, (**He was said to have been
endowed with that rare kind of magnetic eloquence which rendered his neph-
ew, Patrick Henry, so famous." — Campbell's History of Virginia, p. 520. See
also Wirt's Life of Henry), m. Sarah Dabney, issue, Elizabeth, Edmund, (Judge

The Rev. William Spotswood Fontaine, now of tleidsville, N. C, and the Rev.
Edward Fontaine, now of New Orleans, belong to this branch, and are grand-
sons of John Fontaine and his wife Martha Henry.) 2. Edmund (Judge Win-

FAMILY OF THE REV. JOHN THOMPSON

This gentleman was born at Muckamore Abbey near Belfast in Ireland,and
came to Maryland a Presbyterian minister. I am indebted to Mrs. Murray
Forbes for documentary proof of this fact in the form of a letter from the Rev.
Jacob Henderson (Commissary) to the Bishop of London, dated Maryland,
July 30th, 1739, in which he says:—" The bearer, Mr. Jno. Thompson, has been
a Preacher in the Presbyterian way at Newton, on the Eastern Shore of this
Province; but was, by the distractions of the ministers and people of that per-
suasion, put upon considering the terms of communion in the Church of En-
gland; and I do verily believe, upon full conviction, has embraced it. He ap-
pears to be a person of great candor and sincerity. He has been intimate with
the leading clergymen for some years, and your Lordship will perceive what a

80

character they g^ive him in their testimonials. When I was in the North of
Ireland, I had a very good character given him from many people of different
persuasions. He is desirous of Holy Orders, and has a nomination from the
Rev. Mr. Williamson to be his assistant,and I recommend him for Holy Orders
as a person not only very deserving, but one that I sincerely believe will be an
ornament to our Church."

The Rev. Mr. Thompson, as we have seen, became Minister of St. Mark^s
Parish (1740), and married (1742) the widow of Governor Spotswood, by whom
he had two children.

THE STROTHER FAMILY.

Some think this family of Scotch origin, and that it had then the prefix of
Mac. Others insist that it is Saxon. Gen. Dick Taylor, son of the President,
whose mother was a Strother, says, as we learn from Judge Strother of Giles,
that he had visited the old burial-ground of the family in the Isle of Th^anet,
County of Kent, England, and seen the name in its various transitions from its
original form Straathor to its present orthography. However this may be, it
has long had its present form in England, for Chaucer has a facetious tale of
two Strothers, the orthography being the same then as now. The earliest
date to which we have traced the name in Virginia is 1734, when Anthony
Strother patented a tract of land under the doubletop mountain in what was
then St. Mark^s Parish, and is now Bromfield in Madison. The family abound-
ed in the county of Stafford. John Madison, clerk of Augusta, father of Bish-
op Madison, John Lewis, who so long represented the same county, and Ga-
briel Jones, **the Valley Lawyer," all married Misses Strother of Stafford.
Jeremiah, who may have been the father or brother of Anthony, died in what
was then Orange County, (Culpeper not being yet formed) in 1741, leaving his
property to his wife Eleanor, and appointing his sons, James and William, ex-
ecutors. The will was attested by Francis Slaughter, G. Lightfoot and Cat-
lett. His children were James, Wm., Francis, Lawrence, Christopher, Robert
and several daughters. Francis married Miss Dabney and died 1752. He was
the ancestor of Gen. Gaines, John S. Pendleton, Gen. D. Strother (Porte Cray-
on), Gen. Duff Green, and Capt. French Strother of Rappahannock. William
married Mrs. Pannill and was the grandfather of Gen. Z. Taylor.

James, the eldest son, married Margaret, daughter of Daniel French of
King George, whose son Daniel died in 1771. He gave property by deed to Jas.
Strother's children, who were French, James, and Mary (Mrs. Gray). James
died in 1761 and left property to his son French. French Strother, the vestry-
man of St. Mark^s, married Lucy, daughter of Robert Coleman. He lived
where Coleman Beckham now lives. He became a vestryman in 1772, and

81

churchwarden in 1780. He made himself very popular by releasing a Baptist
minister who had been imprisoned by a Justice of the Peace, by substitutinK
his man Tom in his place and letting him out at night. That fact is stated on
the authority of Capt. P. Slaughter, who married his daughter. He represent-
ed the county for nearly 30 years in the General Assembly: was a member in
1770, and of the Convention of 1788-9, and voted against the Constitution and
for the famous Resolutions of 1798-99. He was solicited to oppose Mr. Madison ,
for Congress (see Rives' Madison), but Monroe became the candidate and was i
badly beaten. Monroe had only 9 votes in Orange, Madison 216; Culpeper,
Monroe 103, Madison 256. Col. Frank Taylor in his diary says, "Col. Pendle-
ton of Culpeper came to my house from meeting of Sheriffs in Charlottesville,
and he says Madison has 338 majority in the district." In the State papers
published by J)r. Palmer there is a correspondence between him and Jefferspn
in 1776 which would seem to show that he had some local command, perhajxs
City Lieutenant. He died on his way from the Senate in Richmond, at Fred-
ericksburg, and was buried there. His executops were Capt. P. Slaughter and
his son Daniel French. His children were Daniel French, who went to Ken-
tucky and m. Miss Thompson, a descendant of Rev. John Thompson of St.
Mark's; Geo. French, who repr?sented this district in Congress 1817-20, and
moved to Missouri where he died. Hon. Geo. F. Strother m. Sally, daughter
of Gen. James Williams; his son, the late James French Strother, who was a
member of the Legislature (Speaker) and of Congress, m. Elizabeth, daughter
of Major John Roberts; children, 1. French, late Superintendent of the Peni-
tentiary, m. Miss Cary, of Gloucester county, no ch. 2. Capt. John K., member
of Assembly many yeariJ, m. Miss Viola Payne, dau. ofDr, Payne, of Cul-
peper, and had 1. Jas. Alexander, m. Miss Taylor, of Giles, II. \Vm. Henry, III.
Geo. French, IV. Ellen Payne, m. E. L. Gaines, V. Elizabeth Roberts, VI. John
Hunt, VII. Philip Johnson, and VIII. Viola Williams. 3. Philip W., Judge
and Representative of Giles county, m. Nannie Pendleton, of Giles county,
and had L James French, m. Miss Bondurant, II. Elvina Chapman, m. Mr.'
Barnes, of Tazewell, III. Elizabeth Roberts. IV. Albert Pendleton,
V. Nanny Mary. VI. Sallie Viola, and VI l. Lucy Williams,.
4. Ja!n3-5 French, JuIj:.^ of tRippi,hannD:*k cou ity, m. Miss Mary

and VII. Eliza Harvie. 5. and 6. William Henry and John Hunt, died during
the war. 7. William Johnson, m. Letitia Shackelford. 8. Sally Williams, and
9. ijowis Harvie.

Jeremiah Strother, late of (^ulpoper, who m. Miss Clayton, and is the
gi'andfatlier of the Rev. J. P. Hansbrough, is of the same family. Bo also, we
suppose, was Wm. Strother,of Madison, who m. Miss Medley, and whose dau.
LoLiisa married Rev. H. Stringfellow, and is the father of Rev. Horace String-
fellow, D. D., of Montgomery, Ala., (who has also a son. Rev. James Stringfel-
low, in the ministry,) and 3. of Chas. S. Stringfellow, a leading member of the
Petersburg bar, 3. of the wife of La Fayette Watkins, also of the Petersburg
bar, and of others.

THE BROADUS FAMILY.

Another man of mark to whom Culpeper gave birth, is the Rev. John A.
Broadus, D. D., Professor in the Baptist College, Greenville, South Carolina, a
scholar of rare culture, and a preacher who exemplifies many of the best pre-
cepts in his excellent work on the art of preaching with power. He is a son
of Edmund Broadus, who so long represented Culpeper in the General Assem-

85
bly. Edmund was the son of Thomas, who was the brother: of the Revolution-
ary oflScers, Ensign James and Major Wm. Broadus, vestryman and lay dele-
gate, who married Mrs. Jones, tlie daughter of the first churchwarden of St.
Mark's, Robert Slaughter. Their daughter Kitty married William Mills
Tl|,qaipson, vestryman of St. Mark's, who was the father of the Hon. Richard
Wigginton Thompson, the present Secretary of the Navy. Major William
Broadas married second Miss Richardson and left several children, among
whom is Mi^s Sarah A. Broadus of Charlestown, W. Va. Major Broadus was
Paymaster at Harper's Ferry when he dic}d, about 1880.

The first Broadas of whom I find any tra,Qe in Culpeper was Edmund, who
patented laud in what i^ now Madison County in 1730. .The Rev. William F.
Broadus of. Fredericksburg was a son of Thoi?,;..and Jas. M. Broadus ofAlex^,
is aj9on of Edmund, and brother of Dr. John.^. . Broac^us. William Broadus,

clerk of Culpeper, was the son of Major Wni. Broadus.

[The Slaughter genealogy, as it was in the first edition of St. Mark's, has

THE PENDLETON FAMILY.

[Revised and corrected by Mrs. Mary Dunnica Micou.]

The first of the name of Pendleton who came to the Colony of Virginia to
make their home (in 1674) were two youn^ men, Philip Pendleton, a teacher,
and Nathaniel, his brother, a clerfa:yman. The latter died very soon, unmar-
ried; he evidently held no clerical charge in the Colony, as his name has never
been given among the lists of the clergy of that time. Philip returned to Eng-
land about 1680; tradition says he married a lady of high social position, but
she died, and he returned to the Colony, and in 1682 married Isabella Hurt (or
Hert or Hart,) and from this marriage are descended all the Pendletons of Vir-
ginia. Philip was born in Norwich, England, in 1650, son of Henry Pendle-
ton, 3rd son of Henry Pendleton, son and heir of George Pendleton, Gentle-
man, who married Elizabeth Pettingall dau. of John Pettingall, Gentleman of
Norwich, Eng. George Pendleton moved from Manchester to Norwich in 1613.

His son and heir, Henry, probably married Susan because in Vol. 48 of

the New England Hist, and Gen. Register, is found a copy of the will of Sir
John Pettus, Knight, of Norwich, Jan. 1613, which says : '^Appoint my cou-
sin, Henry Pendleton, Supra visor of my estate." Also Thomas Pettus, of
Caistree, St. Edmond's Norfolk, Oct. 1618. **To my Cousins, Henry Pendle-
ton and Susan, his wife, annuity out of my houses &c. in Norwich." This fam-
ily of Pettus is the same as the one in Va. The Pendletons were originally
from Manchester, where the name was well known, some of them being in
public life as early as the reign of Henry VIII. The Coat of Arms used by
the Pendletons of Norwich and by the emigrant, Philip, indicate by the pres-
ence of Escallop shells and by the Cardinal's chapeau, in the Crest, a connec-
tion with Crusader traditions. The New England Pendletons, descendants of
Brian Pendleton, came from Lancaster, and show a different Coat of Arms.
Philip Pendleton is said to have settled in New Kent Co., but there is no re-
cord of the family on the Register of St. Peter's Parish; he probably lived al-
ways in the portion called afterwards Caroline county, the records of which
were burnt during the war of '61-65. Most of his descendants settled in coun-

96

ties to the north of New Kent. He died in 1721, the same year his oldest son
Henry died, and the same year his grandson, the eminent Judge Edmund Pen-
dleton, was born. He had three sons and four daughters, two of his family
married into the family of James Taylor, of Carlisle, Eng., and by other inte^
marriages, a close connection with the Taylor family has been preserved.
Some of his descendants were among the founders of St Mark's Parish.

Henry PKXDLKTOnS, eldest son of Philip Pendleitou, .the emigrant, and
Isabella Hart or Hurt, was born in 1683. He m. in 1701, Mary Taylor, dau. of
James Taylor,of Carlisle, Eng.. and his 2nd. wife Mary Gregory. Henry was
18 and Mary 13 years of age. He died in 1721, the same year his youngest son,
Edmund, was born. His wife m. 2nd. Ed. Watkyns and died 1770. Of his five
sons, the oldest, James, and the third, Nathaniel, were for many years Clerks
of the Vestry and Lny readers at the small chapels of St. Mark's Parish; and
Philip, the son of James, was Clerk in 1782, when the Vestry books closed.
His two daughters married brothers, James and William Henry Gaines. His
youngest son, Edmund, though without a father's care, made for himself a
name which will be known and remembered as long as Virginia's sons read her
history. By his large circle of nephews and neices, many of them his own
age, he was loved and revered, and the tradition of his kindness and ever
ready help is handed down through nearly every branch of the family. Almost
all the Pendletons of Virginia trace their descent to Henry Pendleton and
Mary Taylor; their issue were :

1. James3, b. 1702, m. issue : James*, Henry^:, Philip*, Annie*, m. Tay-
lor.

Philip Pendleton3, (HenryS, Philipi.) was born about 1704 or 1705. The
record of his residence and the names of some of his children is lost; he proba-
bly lived in Caroline county, because he is mentioned in the only record of
that county, * not burnt during the Civil War, as witness in a suit in 1768 and
as having travelled 30 miles to attend Court. His wife is supposed to have been

named Martha , because of a deed of sale to his stepfather, Ed. Watkyns,

in Culpeper county, signed by Philip Pendleton and wife, Martha. He is said
to have had 15 children, live of whom w^ere daughters, all married, according
to the records in Judge Pendleton's bible. Of these five daughters, Mary, the
oldest, m. Col. Edmund Waller, second clerk of Spottsylvania. Jemina, m. her
first cousin, Richard Gaines, son of Isabella Pendleton and Wm. Henry Gaines.
Martha, m. Massey Thomas, of Culpeper county, the other two are said to have
been named Mildred and Judith, but their record is uncertain. There was a

98

son Henry, as is proved by deed in Orange county, land left to him to go after
his decease to his sister Mary Waller, recorded in 1742. A great-grandaughter
of Philip mentions sons of his : *'John, Edmund, Philip, and I cannot re-
member all tlieir names." Some of them probably moved West as did his
daughter Mai*tha. His youngest son Micajah, lived and died in Amherst coun-
ty; Philip Pendleton died in 1778; his four children of whom we have record
are as follows :

'* Edmund Pendleton, statesman, was born in Caroline county, Va. 8th
Sept., 1721. His grandfather, Philip, descended from Pendleton, of Manches-
ter, Lancaster county, England, came from Norwich, Eng., to this country in
1674. Edmund began his career in the Clerk's office of Caroline county. He
was licensed to practice law in 1744; became County Justice in 1751, and the fol-
lowing year was elected to the House of Burgesses. In 1764 was one of the
Committee to memorialize the King. During the session of 1766, he gave the
opinion 'that the stamp act was void, for want of Constitutional authority in
Parliament to pass it,' and voted in the affirmative on the resolution that the
'act did not bind the inhabitants of Virginia.' He was one of the Committee
of correspondence in 1763; County Lieutenant of Caroline in 1774. A member
of the colonial convention, of the latter year, that was consequent on the Bos-
ton Port Bill, and was chosen by that body to the first Continental Congress.
Accordingly, in company with George Washington, Pejrton Randolph. Patrick
Henry, Benjamin Harrison, and Richard Henry Lee, he attended in Philadel-
phia in 1774. Ah President of Virginia Convention, he was at the head of the
govermnent of the Colony from 1775 until the creation of the Virginia consti-
tution in 1770, and was appointed President of the Committee of Safety in that
year. In May, 1770, he presided again over the convention, and drew up the
celebrated resolutions, by which the delegates from Virginia were instracted
to propose a declaration of independence in Congress, using the words that
were afterwards incorporated almost verbatim with the Declai^ation. As the
leader of the (>avalier or Planter class, he was the opponent of Patrick Henry,
and as leader of the Committee of Public Safety, he was active in the control
of the military and naval operations, and of the foreign correspondence of Vir-
ginia. On the organization of the State Government, he was chosen Speaker
of the House, and appointed, with Chancellor George Wythe and Thomas
JefTei"8on, to revise the Colonial laws. In 1777, he was crippled for life by a fall
from his horse; but the same year he was re-elected Speaker of the House of
Burgesses, and President of the Court of Chancery. In 1779, he became Pres-
ident of the Court of Appeals, holding the office until his death. He presided
over the State Convention, which ratified the Constitution of the United States
in 1783. His mastprly advocacy of the document gained him the encomium
from Jefferson that 'taken all in all, he was the ablest man in debate that I
«^'ver met with.' He received very large grants of land from the State, and
having no children, was ever generous to his nieces and nephews, whose de-
scendants still hold his memory in tender veneration. He married twice— Ist.

THE WILLIAMS FAMILY.*
[By George M. Williams.]

The Williams family of Culpeper are descendants of Peere Williams, of
London, Barrister at Law, and author of Reports of Decisions in the English

Three brothers, James, John, and Otho, emigrated together about the
year of 1698, and landed at the mouth of the Kappahannock River. They ap-
oended the river and when they reached the Fails, where Fredericksburg now
is, they separated. James went to Maryland, John ]*emainecl, and Otho went

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

ooo-

LIEUT.-GENERAL AMBROSE POWELL HILL.

Among the men of Cnlpeper who deserve commemoration is General
Vmbrose Powell Hill (one of Jackson's favorite lieutenants), who illustrated
lis knightly prowess on many a battle-field, sealing his patriotism at last with
:he blood of martyrdom. He was the son of the late Major Thomas Hill, and
I lineal descendant of Capt. Ambrose Powell, the old vestryman of Bromfield
t*ariBh, Culpeper, in 1752.

THE BROWN FAMILY.

There lies before me a patent for land in the South Fork of the Gourdvine
^iver, from Lord Fairfax, proprietor of the Northern Neck, to John Brown ;
le paying every year the free rent of one shilling sterling for every 50 acres,
>n the Feast of St. Michael the Archangel. It is dated 22d June, in the 20th
^earof our Sovereign Lord George II., by the grace of God King of Great
Britain. France and Ireland, and Defender of the Faith, A. D. 1749.

(Signed) Fairfax.

This land was surveyed by Major Philip Clayton, and it adjoins the land
t Thomas Howison and Wm. Brown. It appears in the vestry-book that
)anie] Brown was sheriiT and collector of the parish levy. Coleman Brown
sras clerk and lay reader in the church. Thomas Brown was undertaker of a
hapel in the Little Fork ; and Capt. Wm. Brown was the contractor for an
.ddition to Buck Run Church. These are the ancestors of the late Arm-
stead and Daniel Brown and their families.

Mkdical Men in Culpepkr Before the Revolution.

The vestries having charge of the poor, boarded them among the planters,
knd furnished them with medical attention. The first physician employed by
he vestries, as early as 1734, was Dr. Andrew Craig, then Dr. Thomas Howi-
on, then Dr. Jam«*s Gibbs, and in 1755 Dr. Michael Wallace, ancestor of the
Vinstons now living in Culpeper, and of the Wallaces of Fredericksburg and
Stafford County. Dr. Michael Wallace was born in Scotland, and apprenticed
n his youth at Glascow to Dr. GustaA^us Brown, of Port Tobacco, Maryland,
o learn medicine. The indenture is now in the possession of one of his de-
cendants in Kentucky. That seems to have been the way (before medical
;chools) to make a doctor.

112

THE LAWYERS.
Lawyers who served as counsel to the vestries of St. Mark's were : Ist.
Zaehary Lewis 1731 to 1750, 2d. John Mercer 1752, 3d. John Lewis 1754, and
lastly, Gabriel Jones, the eminent **Valley Lawyer," who married Miss Strother
of Stafford County, sister of Mrs Madison, the mother of Bishop Madison. The
present Strother Jones of Frederick is the great-grandson of Gabriel Jones the
lawyer. Mercer was the author of Mercer's Abridgmefit of the Laws of Vir-
ginia. He was the father of Judge James Mercer, of Ch. Penton Mereer, and
of John F. Mercer, Governor of Maryland.

TOWNS IN CULPEPER.

The flrst town, by Act of Assembly, was Fairfax in 1759. The nanie has
unhappily been changed to Culpeper. After the Revolution there was a fn-
rore for towns, under the impression that they would draw mechanicR and
increase trade.

Stkvknsburg.

Was established in 1782, on 50 acres of land where William Bradley then
lived. French Strother, B. Davenport, Robert Slaughter, Robert Pollard, and
Richard Waugh were the flrst Trustees, all vestrymen but one. In 1799 the
Academy was established by Act of Assembly, and its first Trustees were
Robert Slaughter, Charles Carter, David Jameson, R. Zimmerman, Wm. Gray,
Gabriel Gray, Philip Latham and William C. Williams.

ClERKSBURG, not CLARKSBURG.

In 1798, 25 acres of James Baysy's land vested in Thomas Spilman, Henry
Pendleton. Jr., By waters and Reid.

Jkfferson.

On 25 acres of Joseph Coons' land, vested in John Fishback, Thomas Spil-
man, John Spilman, Thomas and Robert Freeman, P. Latham, P. Payne, F.
F. Fergarson and John Diilard.

Springfield.

On 25 acres of John Spilman's land, vested in John and Thomas Spilman,
and Messrs. Matthews, Fletcher and Tapp. Clerksburg, Jefferson and Spring-
field are in the Little Fork. They yet survive, but have not realized the antici-
pations of their founders, whose names we have reproduced above.

Jamestown.

It will be news to some that we have a Jamestown in Culpeper. 25 acres
of land were set apart by the General Assembly to be c^alled Jamestown, and
Gabriel Green, A. Haynie, and Messrs. Grant, Corbin and Howe were Trustees
to lay it off into convenient lots and streets. Who will recognize in James-
town our modest James City ?

BRICK MAKING IN VIRGINIA.

The prevailing opinion that our colonial churches were built of imported
brick is an error. As to those in the interior of the country, the transporta-
tion of the brick was an insuperable obstacle. It is possible that a few of the
churches on tidewater may have been made of imported brick, but as to many
of these there are unquestionable traces of brick-kilns very near them, in some
cases within the churchyard. The following bill show that bricks were made
even at Williamsburg as early as 1708 :

Hknry Cary to the Council, 1708.

150 loads of wood at 12s— £6 7 6.

Moulding and burning 70,009 bricks at 38. Od. per M.

Laborer's work resetting and burning 3s. 3d.

113
VESTRYMEN OF ST. MARK'S.

The names of the old vestrymen will all be found in order in the text. The
following is an imperfect enumeration of the successors : — The last vestry un-
der the old regime (1785) was composed of the following persons, viz. French
Strother, Sam. Clayton, Rd. Yancey, William Ball, James Pendleton, Burkett
Davenport, Cadwallader Slaughter, Lawrence Slaughter, James Slaughter.
Then followed P. R. Thompson, P. Slaughter, Jno. Jameson, Rt. Slaughter,
David Jameson, G. Jones, Wigginton, Wm. Broadus, Rd. Payne, Rt. Freeman,
Thomas Freeman, John Spilman, Thos. Spilman, Peter Hansbrough, Isaac
Winston, Waller Winston, Samuel Slaughter, John Thom, Geo Fitzhugh, Jno.
Wharton, W. Williams, Fayette Mauzy, Dr. Thos. Barbour, Rt. A. Thompson,
P. Slaughter, Jr., James Parish, Moses Green, Spilman, Rd. Randolph, Wm.
Payne, S. R. Bradford, Garland Thompson, John Cooke Green, Wm. B.
Slaughter, Dr. A. Taliaferro, Rd. Cunningham, T. S. Alcocke, S. S. Bradford,
Frank Lightfoot, Jere. Morton, Geo Morton, P. P. Nalle, Jno. Knox, Down-
man, Dr. Hugh Hamilton, John Porter, Rt. Stringfellow, Jas. W. Green, Jas.
Williams, L. P. Nelson, Thos. Freeman, Geo. Hamilton, Wallace Nalle, Martin
Stringfellow, S. Wallis, F. B. Nalle, Rt. Davis, A. G. Taliaferro, C. C. Conway,
P. B Jones, Jr., Rt. Maupin, J. P. Alexander, Jos. Wilmer, Jr., Dr. Payne,
Wm. S. Peyton, E. Keerl, Barrows, J. W. Morton, Jas. Crawford, Spilman,
Jas. Bowen, Jr. Tliese names are from memory and therefore are not in ex-
act order of time, and doubtless unintentionally omit some who have been or
are vestrymen. The author has failed to received the full list, for which he
asked repeatedly.

An analysis of the families of the old ministers and vestrymen of St. Mark's
yields some curious results. Among their descendants were two Presidents of
the United States, viz. Madison and Taylor; a Justice of the Supreme Court of
the United States, viz. P. P. Barbour; several Governors of States, as Bar-
bour of Virginia, and Slaughter, Morehead and Stevenson, of Kentucky; sever-
al United States Senators, as Barbour of Virginia, Morehead and Stevenson, of
Kentucky; members of Congress, P. K. Thompson, Geo. F. Strother, John S.
Barbour, John S. Pendleton, Rt. A. Thompson, Jas. F. Strother, B. Johnson
Barbour, and Pendletons of Ohio; legislators and judges of circuits in great
numbers, among whom Judges Pendleton, of South Carolina, of New York and
Ohio, Judge Green, of the Court of Appeals of Virginia, and Judges Field,
Shackleford, Williams, &c. These are but a few of the examples of this truth.
It is also a curious fact that every Episcopal minister within the bounds of the
original St. Mark's at this date, viz. Scott of Gordonsville, Hansbrough, of
Orange, Slaughter, Minnegerode and Steptoe, of Culpeper, is a lineal descend-
ant of the ante-revolution vestrymen, or he married one of their lineal descend-
ants.

ADDENDA TO ST. MARK'S. •

PARISH HISTORY CONTINUED.

[Rev. F. G. Ribble, the present rector of St. Markka (Jan. 1900), has furnished
the following continuation of St. Mark^s History.— R. T. G-.]

1878, January 1 ; Rev. J. G. Minnegerode resigned the rectorship of St.
Mark's Parish, and took charge of Cavalry Church, Louisville, Diocese of
Kentucky. At this writing, he is beginning the twenty -second year of his
rectorship of that large and important work. He is a member of the Standing;
Committe of the Diocese, and was a delegate to the General Convention in
1878 1882.

May 1 : Rev. E. Wall accepted the rectorship of the parish, coming from
the Diocese of Huron, Canada. In 1880, the Church school, founded by the
Rev Mr. Peterkin, was abandoned, and the building rented for a private
school.

Rev. Mr. Wall resigned his rectorship January 1, 1882, going to Baltimore as
assistant to the Rev. Dr. Campbell Pair. He was sometime rector of St. Mat-
thew's Parish, Diocese of Washington. At present he has charge of Grace
Church, Berryville, Diocese of Virginia. In 1881 he reported for St. Mark's
Paris)i 111 communicants, 5 Sunday school teachers and fifty scholars.

1882-1884, September 1 : Rev. H. D. Page became rector of the parish. He
came as a deacon, having graduated at the Virginia Seminary the June before.
He resigned March 18, 1884, to go to Japan as a missionary. After fourteen
years of faithful service in that field, he returned, and is at present rector of
Durham Parish, Diocese of Washington. In 1884 he reported for St. Mark's
Parish 123 communicants, and 60 Sunday school teachers and scholars. Du-
ing his rectorship the exterior of the church was painted and repaired.

1884-1888. August 1 : Rev. W. T. Roberts accepted the call of the vestry as
rector of the parish. Under the date of March 1, 1887, the following resolu-
tion was spread upon the minute book of the Vestry. "Whereas, the Rector,
W. T. Roberts, having presented to the Vestry, in the name of Miss Savilla
Denton, a communion service of solid silver, in memory of her sister, Miss
Margaret Denton, therefore be it resolved: (1) That the Vestry hereby ex-
press their appreciation of this generous and appropriate gift, and hereby re-
cord the same in the vestry book of this Church. (2) That the Registrar be
requested to furnish a copy of these resolutions to Miss Denton."

March 1, 1888 : The Vestry passed a resolution to remove the galleries from
the Church. This work was done, the interior of the Church being much im-
proved thereby. About the same time a new pipe organ was placed in the
Church, at the right of the chancel. On September 15, 1888, Rev. W. T. Roberts
resigned his rectorship, and took charge of a parish in Essex county.' After
serving there for some time, he took charge of Emmanuel Church, Harrison-
burg, Va. Resigning this work, he then took charge of Bruton Parish, Wil-
liamsburg, Diocese of Southern Virginia, of which he is still rector.

In 188S, he reports for St. Mark's Parish 100 communicants, and 5S Sunday
school teachers and scholars.

At a meeting of the Vestry, held September 25, 1888, Mr. 8. Russell Smith sub-
mitted to the Vestry a plan of improvements for the chancel and vestry room,
to be a memorial to his deceased wife. The beautiful chancel window and the
large and eomfoTtal)le vestry room were hjs generous gifts to the church.

114

tl3
1889-18»5. From September 15, 1888, to Sept 15, 1889, the parish had no rec-
tor. Daring this period, Mr. Eppa Kixey faithfully gerved the congregation
as lay reader. The Vestry, with the help of the Ladies' Aid Society, painted
the exterior of the church building, and put some repairs on the rectory and
lecture room. Rev. S. P. Watters, of Morganton, N. C, took charge of the
parish September 15, 1889. Under date of March 5, 1890, a motion was made
and carried ''that Mr. £ppa Rixey be appointed a committee of one to confer
with Col. Bradford and make a report at the next meeting of the ventry on the
present status orthe war claim of this Church, said claim being for occupancy
of the Church as a hospital during the war by the Federal Army," At a call-
ed meeting of the Vestry, held June 18, 1890, the following preamble andresolu^
tions, relative to the death of Dr. Philip Slaughter, were passed and ordered
to be spread upon the minutes of the Vestry. *'In the death of the Key.
Philip Slaughter, D. D., Historiographer of the Church, in the Diocese of Vir^
ginia, the Church has been called to mourn the loss of an eminent son, a faith-
ful presbyter, a learned historian, whose varied talents were adorned by a long
life of devotion to the Church of Christ, and by his humble Christian life, led
in imitation of the Master, full of years and full of honors, having been called
from his earthly to his heavenly home. We, the Rector and Vestry of St.
Stephens Church, St. Mark^s Parish, desire to place on record our appreciation
of his services, and our expression of the great loss the Church in Virginia has
sustained; therefore be it it Resolved : (1) That in the death of the Kev.
Philip Slaughter, D. D., the Church has sustained an irreparable loss. Iicarned,
pious, and devoted to the cause of Christ, his removal from our midst will be felt
with sorrow throughout the Church. (2) As Presbyter and Historiographer of
the Church in Virginia, lie leaves an honored name, calling forth the afTection
and esteem of his contemporaries. His literary works are an invaluable lega^
cy to the Church. (3) Full of years, and full of honors, he has served his day
and generation faithfully and well. Ripe for the harvest, he has been garner-
ed by his Master, and has entered upon his eternal reward, leaving an illus-
trious example to future generations. (4) That the Rector and Vestry of St.
Stephen's Church attend the funeral of Dr. Slaughter in a body, to be held to-
morrow evening at five o'clock at Calvary Church, Culpeper county. (5) That
a copy <iif these resolutions be sent to the family of Dr. Slaughter, as an ex-
pression of our sympathy as a body with them in their bereavement, and also
to the Southern Churchman for publication.

Signed,

Eppa Rixby,

Registrar.

February 10, 1892, the following letter, which explains itself was laid before
the Vestry for consideration by the rector.

CuLPKPKR, Va., Jan. 30th, 1892.
Mr. T. S. Alcocke,

Senior Warden, St. Mark's Parish.

Dear Sir: Whereas it is popularly believed in the neighborhood of ** Oak
Shade Church," that it has been a *'Free Church" since the days of the Revo-
lution, and whereas it is now in such a condition as to be unfit and unsafe for

same time retaminf^r your rip^ht, without an outlay, to its partial occupancy.

Respectfully submitted,

This letter occasioned a careful review of the history of *'JJttle Fork'*
church from 1750 to 1892, and a thorough investijcation of the laws passed by
the Virginia Le^slature for the control of the old Colonial Churches of the
State. This work was entrusted to Capt. G. (^. Thompson, who performed
it faithfully and well, showing conclusively that the church was not a "Free
Church," and had never been a '*Free Church."" His historical sketch of the
ehuj'ch, and his learned presentation of the le^al aspects of the question, were
ordered to be spread upon the minute book of the vestry.

The whole matter as to the riprht of ownership of the property known as
''Little Pork Church" was finally settled by the followinp: agreement. "Where-
as, Little Fork Church, in St. Mark's Parish, Culpeper County, has been,
since its erection in 1774-1775, an Episcopal Church, continuously to the present
time in the possession, use and control of the minister and vestry of St. Mark's
Parish, and the possession, use and control of this said church has been re-
cojynized as lawful, and has been secured to them by the laws of Virfrinia; and,

sent to use the said Church on the fourth Sunday in each month of the year*
and upon any other Sunday which will not conflict with the iippointments of

CALVARY CHURCH REBUILT.

On page 29 of St. Mark's Parish, in the next to the last paraffraph, Dr.
Slaughter speaks of the destruction of Calvary church, at the foot of Slaugh-
ter's Mountain. This church has been rebuilt through the kindness of friends
at home and abroad; it was consecrated June 1-^, 1804, and named ^^All Saints,'^
in memory of those who fell on the battlefield of Cedar Mountain, and who
have "fought the good fight of faith in the daily walks of life."— Pub.

NOTES ON DR. SLAUGHTER'S ST. MARK'S PARISH.
[By Dr. Andrew Glassell Grinnan, of Madison.]

The account of the route of the Horseshoe Expedition of Gov. Spotswood
is in some respects en*oneous. The expedition crossed from Orange county
into what is now Madison, at the old German Ford, across the Rapidan, about
half a mile above its junction with the Robertson river. It is still called the
German Ford. , The Germans used this ford when they moved from Germanna
to the head waters of the Robertson. It is at the lower end of the tract of
land, bought by Dr. A. G. Grinnan in 1859, from Mr. Charles Bankhead; traces
of the old road could be seen then. The expedition evidently passed by the
present Woodbury Forest house. From this point is a clear view of the Swift
Run Gap in the Blue Ridge, which the expedition ascended. The route was
on the north side of the Rapidan river, to the Forks, turned west into Greene
county, crossed Turkey Ridge, along the side of Saddle Back Mountain, to
Summit of Swift Run Gap.

St. Mark's, page 57— Conway Family— Francis Conway, of Port Conway,
opposite Port Royal, Va., m. Rebecca, daughter of Elizabeth Gaines (not
Grymes), and Col. John Catlett, Jr. She was daughter of Col. Daniel Gaines,
of Essex. After Francis Conway's death, she m. John Moore, of Caroline. She
had six Conway children, one of whom was Nelly Conway, the mother of
President Madison. She had two Moore children, one of whom, Jane Moore,
m. Erasmus Taylor, of Orange.

St. Mark's, p. 74— The Taylor Family — This is a very large family, and can-
not be noted at length for lack of space. The 1st settler, James Taylor, of
Carlisle, Eng., did not settle' on Chesapeake Bay. The Virginia Land office
records show that he lived on the Mattaponi River, in the lower part of what
is now Caroline county. He was succeeded in the ownership of this place by •
his oldest son in 1790, Col. James Taylor, who m. Martha Thompson (see Bev-
erley's Hist, of Va.) Col. James Taylor, of the Horseshoe Expedition, entered
large bodies of land — about 15,000 acres— in what is now Orange, about the year
1720—22. He removed to Orange and lived and died there. His widow long
survived him. Dr. Charles Taylor was not a son of James (2) Taylor; he was
"his grandson, son of the well known Col. George Taylor, of Orange, who lived
about two iuiles east of Orange C. H., which house is still standing. Here also
lived Col. Frank Taylor, the diarist; he was another son of Col. George Taylor.

119

He never married, aud died in 1799. His will, on record, shows that he left
most of his property to his nephews, who lived in Kentucky. The diary is in
poBsession of Di. Andrew G, Grinnan. He was Lt.-Colonel of the Convention
Gaards, who had charge of the Bursroyne prisoners near Charlottesville.

St. Mark^s, p. 75— Winston Family— Anthony Winston m. Alice Taylor,
dau. of James (3) Taylor, of Orange, who was son of Col. James (2) Taylor and
Martha Thompson. The account of Alice and her supposed husband in Camp-
bell's History of Va. is erroneous.

St. Mark's, p. 60— Children of Helen Buchan Glassell and Daniel Grinnan,
of Fredericksburg: Robert Alexander, b. 1817, d. 1884; Eliza Richards, b. 1819,
d. 1846; Cornelia, b. 1821, d. 1864; Helen Mary, b. 1823; Daniel, b. 1825, d. 1826:
Daniel Glassell, b. 1827; Daniella M., b. 1830, d. 1888.

St. Mark's, p. 85— Slaughter Family— The first Robert Slaughter of Cul-
peper m. Mary Smith, daughter of Augustiue Smith, of Culpeper, an early
land surveyor, who lived on the Rappahannock river. His will is on record
in the first Vol. of Will records of Orange county. Augustine Smith was , of
the Horseshoe Expedition of Gov. Spotswood, as was also another surveyor,
Col. James Taylor. Augustine Smith was the son of Col. Lawrence Smith, of
Gloucester county, and York Town. Col. Smith for years was commandant of
the fort at Falmouth, Va. The House of Burgesses also gave him civil juris-
diction over a section around the fort, an unusual mark of confidence, and
donated to him a tract of land on the Rappahannock, three and a half miles
wide by five miles long. He was once defeated in battle by Bacon, his troops
deserting him. Altogether he was one of the most distinguished Virginians
of his day. He laid out York Town.

In Sc. Mark*s, page 46. it is stated that the tradition is that the organ in
the Lutheran church in Madison county was paid for by subscriptions taken
up in Germany and Sweden. This may be erroneous, for several years ago, an
article appeared in a Northern newspaper, probably in the New York Evening
Post, giving an account of John Thornburg, a German, who lived at Listy,
Pennsylvania, who built an organ for the Lutheran Church of Madison in
1760, for $300.00, which he delivered to the agent of the Madison church in
Philadelphia, who hauled it to Madison, Va., in a wagon. He also built one
for the Lutheran Church in Winston-Salem, N. C.

PROM AMERICAN ARCHIVES BY PETER FORCE.

[4th Series, Vol. 1, papre 623.]
At a meeting of the freeholders and other inhabitants of the County of
Culpeper, in Virginia, assembled, on due notice, at the Court House of the
said county, on Thursday, the 7th of July, 1774, to consider of the most effect-
ual methods to preserve the rights and liberties of America, the following reso-
lutions were adopted.

Henry Pendlkton, Esq., Modbrator.

Resolved: That we will, whenever we are called upon for that purpose
maintain and defend his Majesty's right and title to the Crown of Great Brit-
ain, and all other of his Dominions thereunto belonging, to whose royal per-
son and Government we profess all due obedience and fidelity.

Resolved : That the right to impose taxes or duties, to be paid by the in-
habitants of this country, for any purpose whatsoever, is peculiar and essen-
tial to the General Assembly, in whom the Legislative authority is vested.

Resolved : That every attempt to impose taxes or duties by any other
authority, is an arbitrary exercise of power, and an infringement of the con-
stitutional and just rights and liberties of the colony, and that we will, at ail
times, at the risk of our lives and fortunes, oppose any act imposing taxes or
duties, unless we are legally represented; and the Act of the British Parlia-
ment, impK)sing a duty on tea to be paid by the inhabitants of the colonies
upon importation, is evidently designed to fix on the Americans those chains,
forged for them bv a corrupt minister.

Resolved : That the late cruel and unjust Acts of Parliament, to be exe-
cuted by force upon our sister colony of the Massachusetts Bay, and the town
of Boston, is a convincing proof of the unjust and corrupt influence obtained
by the British M inistry in Parliament, and i fixed determination to deprive
the colonies of their constitutional and just rights and liberties.

Resolved: That the town of Boston is now suffering in the common cause
of the American colonies.

Resolved: That an association between all the American colonies not to
import from Great Britian, or buy any goods, or commodities whatsoever,
except negroes, clothes, salt, saltpetre, powder, lead, nails, and paper, ought
to be entered into and by no means dissolved, until the rights and liberties of
the colonies are restored to them, and the tyrannical Acts of Parliament
against Boston are repealed.

Resolved: That it is our opinion, that no friend to the rights and liberties
of America ought to purchase any goods whatsoever, which shall be imported
from Great Britain, after a general association shall be agreed on, except such
as are before excepted.

Resolved: That every kind of luxury, dissipation and extravagance, ought
to be banished from amongst us.

Resolved: That the raising of sheep, hemp, flax aiid cotton, ought to be
encouraged; likewise, all kinds of manufactures by subscriptions or any other
proper means.

Resolved: That the importing of slaves and convict servants is injurious
to this colony, as it obstructs the population of it with freemen and useful
manufacturers, and that we will not buy any suc)i slave or convict servant,
hereafter to be imported.

Resolved: That every county in this colony ought to appoint deputies to
meet upon the first day of August, in the city of Williamsburg, then and there
to consult upon the most proper means for carrying these or any other resolu-
tions, which shall be judged more expedient for obtaining peace and tranquil-
ity in America, into execution.

Resolved: That Henry Pendleton and Henry Field, Jr., Esquires are ap-
pointed upon the part of the freeholders and inhabitants of this county to
meet and consult with such deputies as shall be appointed by the other coun-
ties.

Resolved: That the clerk transmit these resolves to the press, and request
the printer to publish them without delay. By order of the meeting.

John Jameson, Clerk.

COLPEPER COUNTY HISTORY.

INTRODUCTORY CHAPTER.

Culpeper, named in honor of Thomas Lord Culpeper, governor of Virginia
680 — 1683 (for sketch of whom see Hardesty's Encyclopaedia of Biography), was
ormed in 1748 from Orange county (Orange was taken from Spotsylvania,
vhich county had been cut off from Essex). Its territory, embracing originally
^hat is now Culpeper, Madison and Rappahannock counties, was the subject of
k protracted controversy, involving the title to several million acres of land.
The entire territory * 'within the bends of the rivers Tappahannock, alias Rap-
pahannock, and Quiriough, or Potomac, the courses of those rivers, and the
Bay of Chesapayork, &c.,^^ was granted at different times, by King Charles I.
itnd II., to Lord Hopton, the Earl of St. Albans, and others, and subsequently
by King James to Lord Culpeper, who had purchased the rights of the other
arrantees. Thomas, fifth Lord Fairfax, who married Catharine, daughter of
Lord Culpeper, became the proprietor of this princely domain, commonly
Icnown as the Northern Neck. From him, it descended to his son Thomas, sixth
Lord Fairfax, and comprised the counties of Lancaster, Northumberland,
Richmond, Westmoreland, Stafford, King George, Prince William, Fairfax,
Loudoun, Fauquier, Culpeper, Madison, Page, Shenandoah, Hardy, Hamp-
shire, Morgan, Berkeley, Jefferson and Frederick. In 1705 Edward Nott, gov-
ernor of Virginia, in the name of the king, granted 1,920 acres of land to Henry
Beverley, in the forks of the north and south branches of the Rappahannock.
Robert Carter, commonly known from his large landed possessions as **King^'
barter, who was the agent of Fairfax, objected to the grant as being within
-he limits of the Northern Neck grant. The question then arose whether the
louth (the Rapid Anne) or the north branch of the Rappahannock was the
shief stream. To settle the controversy, Thomas Fairfax, the sixth Lord, and
Baron Cameron, petitioned the king in 1733, to order a commission to ascer-
tain the bounds of his patent. In consequence, commissioners were appointed
leverally in behalf of the crown and of Lord Fairfax These were William
Byrdof "Westover"; John Robinson of "Piscataway," Essex county, and John
Jrymesof "Brandon," Middlesex county, on behalf of the crown; and William
Beverly, William Fairfax and Charles Carter, on behalf of Fairfax. They made
heir report on December 14, 1786, to the council for plantation affairs, which
K>dy, on the 6th day of April, 1746, confirmed the report, which was in turn
ionfirmed by the king, who ordered the appointment of commissioners, to run
knd mark the dividing line. This was done in 1746. The decision was in favor
»f Lord Fairfax, and made that branch of the Rapid Anne called the Conway,
;he head-stream of the Rappahannock river, and the southern boundary of the
S^orthem Neck; and thus confirming to Lord Culpeper the original county of
]Julpeper. The original journal of the expedition kept by Major Thomas Lew-
s, is DOW in the possession of his descendant, Hon. John F. Lewis, ex-lieut.
rovernor of Virginia. The conflicting rights of the Northern Neck patent,
^ith those claimed by Joist Hite and others, have been the cause of innumer-

2

able law suits, which crowded the records of the State courts to a period ad-
vanced into the 19th century. There was an attempt made by the State of
Maryland as late as 1832 to extend her boundary by an infraction of the Fair-
fax line, as above, established in 1746.

The name of Governor Alexander Spotswood, one of the ablest executives
of Colonial Virginia, is prominently associated with Culpeper county, as the
largest landed proprietor of that portion of Spotsylvania county (named in
his honor), which subsequently formed the county of Culpeper, and as the
founder in 1714 of the town of

GBRMANNA,

On a peninsular of 400 acres of land on the banks of the Rapid Anne, which

was settled by about four-score Germans, whom he brought thither to conduct

his iron manufactories; and the town was, until the division of Spotsylvania

county, its count yseat. It is thus described by Hugh Jones, in his "Present

Condition of Virginia," published in 1724;

"Beyond Colonel Spotswood's furnace, above the falls of Rappahannock

river, within view of the vast mountains, he (Spotswood) has founded a town

called Germanna, from some Germans sent over by Queen Anne, who are now

removed up further [into what is now Madison county]. Here he has servants

and workmen of most handicraft trades; and he is building a church, court

house, and dwelling-house for himself, and with his servants and negroes, he

has cleared plantations about it, proposing great encouragement for people to

come and settle in that uninhabited part of the world, lately divided into a

county.

"Beyond this is seated the colony of Germans or Palatines, with aUowance

of good quantity of rich lands, who thrive very well and live happily, and en-
tertain generously. These are encouraged to make wines which by the expe-
rience (particularly) of the late Robert Beverly, who wrote the History of Vir-
ginia, was done easily, and in large quantities in those parts; not only from
the cultivation of the wild grapes, which grow plentifully and naturally in all
the lands thereabouts, and in the other parts of the country; but also from the
Spanish, French, Italian and German wines."

THK PRESENT LIMITS OF THE COUNTY

Comprise an average length of twenty miles, with a breadth of about eighteen
miles. It is drained by the Rappahannock and Rapid Anne rivers and their
tributaries, the former river running along its northeast and the latter upon
itfc* southeast and southwest boundaries. According to the census of 1890, the
population was 13,233. Number of acres of land 232,545. It is a good fruit coun-
ty, including grapes, and is self-sustaining in all of its farm products. The
grazing is excellent, including clover, timothy, orchard, Randall, Herds and
blue grasses. The county is traversed by the great Southern Railway. The
health of the county is excellent. Highland 75 per cent,; bottoms 25 per cent.
About two-fifths of the county is in timber, consisting of walnut, ash, hickory,
the oaks, locust, pine, cedar, chestnut, maple, etc. Minerals: Magnetic and
hematic iron ores and gold, a mine of the latter being worked.

CULPEPER IN THE REVOLUTION.

Culpeper was distinguished in the Revolutionary war by the important service
of her gallant Minute men, who, as the brilliant John Randolph of Roanoke
said in the United States Senate, **were raised in a minute, armed in a minute,
marched in a minute, fought in a minute and vanquished in a minute." Im-
mediately on the breaking out of the war in 1775, Patrick Henry, then com-
mander of the Virginia troops, sent to this section of the colony for assistance.
Upon his summons, 150 men from Culpeper, 100 from Orange, and 100 from
Fauquier, rendezvoused here, and encamped in a field the property of the late

Hon. John S. Barbour, half a mile west of the village of Fairfax. An old oak
marked the «pot. These were the first Minute Men raised in Virginia. They
formed themselves into a regimemt, choosing Lawrence Taliaferro of Orange,
colonel; Edward Stevens of Culpeper, lieutenant colonel; and Thomas Mar-
shall of Fauquier— father of Chief Justice John Marshall— major. The flag
used by the Culpeper men bore in its center the figure of a rattlesnake coiled
and in the act of Striking — above which was inscribed *'The Culpeper Minute
Men," on either side "Liberty or Death,'' and beneath "Don't Tread on Me "
The corps were dressed in green hunting shirts with the words "Liberty or
Death" in large letters on their bosoms. A wag on seeing this, remarked it
was too severe for him; but that he was willing to enlist if the words were al-
tered to "Liberty or Be Crippled " '•

They wore-i^ their hats buck-tails, and in their belts tomahawks and scalp-
ing knives. 'Their savage, war-like appearance excited the terror of the in-
habitants as they marched through the country to Williamsburg Shortly
after their arrival at that place, about 150 of them— those armed with rifles-
marched into Norfolk county, and were engaged in the battle of the Great
Bridge. Among them were Chief Justice Marshall, then a lieutenant, and Gen-
eral Edward Stephens. In the course of the war, eight companies of eighty-
' four men each were formed in Culpeper for the Continental service. They
-were raised by the following captains: John Green (subsequently promoted to
colonel, and wounded in the shoulder and crippled for life while storming a
■breast work. He was grandfather of Judge John Williams Green, of the court
of appeals of Virginia, and great-grandfather of several distinguished jurists~the
learned brothers, the late William Green, LL. D., of Richmond, the late Major
• James'W. Gredh of Culpeper, and the late Thomas C. Green; judge of the su-
preme court of the State of West Virginia, being among them): John Thorn-
ton, George Slaughter, Gabriel Long (promoted major), Jno. Gillison, (who while
gallantly leading his men to attack the enemy at Brandywine to prevent them
making prisoners of the company of Captain Long, was struck in the forehead
by a musket ball; the surgeon examined the wound, and then, lifting up his
hands, exclaimed "Oh, captaini it is a noble wound, right in the middle of the
forehead, and no harm donel" the wound soon healed and left a scar, of

which any soldier might be proud). McClannahan (Captain McClannahan

was a Baptist clergyman, and at flrst preached to his men regularly; his i^e-
' cruits were principally from his own denomination and in conformity with the
wishes -of the legislature, who invited the members of particular religious so-
cieties, especially Baptists and Methodists, to organize themselves into sepa-
rate companies, under officers of their own faith; the Baptists were among
the most strenuous supporters of liberty.) and Abraham Buford. (Abraham
Buford, promoted colonel, was defeated by Tarleton, May 39, 1780, at the Wax-
hams, near the borders of North Carolina). John Jameson who was clerk of
Culpeper county at the beginning of the Revolution, promptly joined the cause
of his fellow colonists, and commanded a company that marched to Williams-
burg. He was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel. John Paulding, David Wil-
liams and Isaac van Wart, the three immortal patriots who captured Andre,
were in the command of Lieut. Col. Jameson, who, in turn, informed General
Washington of the capture.

Among other heroes of the Revolution from Culpeper, may be named Cap-
tain Philip Slaughter, who entered the Culpeper Minute Men at the age of sev-
enteen as a private, and marched with them to Williamsburg shortly after the
seizure of the powder in March, 1775, by Dunmore. Having received a com-
mission of lieutenant he marched to the North in the fall of 1776, with the

4

Eleventh Virginia Continental Regiment. Daniel Morgan then commanded
this corps, and also a volunteer rifle regiment. There Slaughter remained un-
til the commencement of the year 1780, and was in the battles of Brandywine,
Germantown, Monmouth and at the storming of Stony Point. He 8i)ent the
winter of 1777-8 at Valley Forge. His messmates were Lieutenant Robert (af-
terwards General) Porterfield, Captain Charles Porterfield, Captain Jameson
and Lieutenant (afterwards Chief Justice) Marshall. There they were all re-
duced to great privation in the want of food and clothing. They bore their
sufferings without murmur, being fortified by an undaunted patriotism. Most
of the officers gave to their almost naked soldiers nearly the whole of tbeir
clothing, reserving only what they themselves had on. Slaughter was reduced
to a single shirt. While this was being washed he wrapped himself in a blan-
ket. From the breast of his only shirt he had wristbands and a collar made to
complete his uniform for parade. Many of his brother officers were still worse
off, having no undergarments at all; and not one soldier in five had a blanket.
They all lived in rude huts, and the snow was knee deep the whole winter.
Washington daily invited the officers in rotation to dine with him at his pri-
vate table, but for want of decent clothing few were enabled to attend. Slaugh-
ter being so much better provided, frequently went in the place of the others,
that, as he said, ^^his regiment might be represented.^^ While in this starving
condition, the country people brought food to camp. Often the Dutch women
were seen riding in, sitting on bags on their horses^ back, holding two or three
bushels each of apple pies, baked sufficiently hard to be thrown across the
room without breaking. These were purchased eagerly, eaten with avidity,
and considered a great luxury. Slaughter performed the duties of paymaster
and clothier in addition to those of a captain of the line. He was promoted to
a captaincy in 1778, he being then not twenty years of age. Captain Slaughter
held various civil offices, among which was that of high sheriff of Culpeper
county. He married twice, first a daughter of Colonel French Strother, and
secondly a daughter of Colonel Thomas Towles, having issue by the two mar-
riages nineteen children who intermarried with the Maconickie, Conroy, Dade,
Smith, Madison, Chapman, Bradford, Thompson and Semmes families, and
their descendants now include many additional honored names. He died in
1849 at the advanced age of ninety-one. His ninth child the venerable and
widely beloved Rev. Philip Slaughter, D. D., historiographer of the Episcopal
Diocese of Virginia, an eloquent pulpit orator and a glowing and prolific writ-
er, whose delightsome pen was tireless, before his death celebrated at his home
near Mitchell^s, two touching anniversaries, the semi-centennial of his ordi-
nation as a minister and his golden wedding. He had in his possession a brief
journal of his honored father giving an account of the movements of the troops
during the time the latter was in service, together with certificates of the faith-
ful service of Captain Slaughter, given by Chief Justice Marshall, General
Robert Porterfield and Colonel Jameson.

To the list of Culpeper worthies should be added the names of Colonel
Gillison, Colonel Gabriel Jones, Colonel William Green, Colonel John Thorn-
ton, Colonel James Slaughter, Colonel John Slaughter, Colonel John Jameson,
Major John Roberts, Colonel David Jameson and Colonel Philip Clayton (sub-
sequently State Judge and member of congress from Georgia) of the Revo-
lution; Colonel John Field, who was in the battle of Point Pleasant, October
10th, 1774; Colonel French Strother, member of Virginia assembly in 1776; his
son George French Strother, member of congn^ss, 1817-80; Philip Rootee
Thompson, member of congress, 1806; John Strother Pendleton, member of
congress and United States minister to Beunos Ayres; Colonel James Pendle-

)n. Colonel Nathaniel Pendleton (who was the second of Alexander Hamilton
1 his lamentable duel with Aaron Burr); John Strode Barbour, sr., member
f Con^p^ess; Hon. Richard W. Thompson, member of congress and secretary
f the navy; Major General £dmand Pendleton Gaines. United States army,
nd Rev. John A. Broadus, D. D., of the Baptist Church, pulpit orator,author

py,*^ was once a resident of Culpeper, having commenced the practice of law
ere in 1792, when only twenty years of age.

In his family burying-ground (which is now the Masonic Cemetery) half a
lile north of Culpeper, the countyseat, is the tomb of a revolutionary hero
ith the following inscription:

a principal share in the war of the Revolution, and acquired great dis-
tiilcl^bh at the battles of Grfeat Bridge, *Brandywine, Germantown, Cam-
den, Guhford Court House and thef siege dt York; and although zealous in
the cause of American Freeddm, his conduct was not marked with the
least degree of malevolence or party spirit. Those who honestly diflfered
with him in opinion he always treated with : singular tenderness. In strict
integrity, honest patriotism an4 immovable courage, he was surpassed by
none and- had few equals. ^^ ' '

Th«fre may be added' of General Stevens the following detail of services :

t the commence'rtkehi of the Revolution he commanded with distinction a

attalion of rifiemeh at the battle of Great Bridge, near Norfolk, Virginia; was

K)n after made colonel of the 10th Virginia Regiment with which he joined

(TaBhingion; and at the battle of Brandy wine (September 11th, 1777,) by his

allant' exertion saved a part of the army from capture, checked the enemy

nd HeCured the retreat. He also dii^tinguished himself at Germantown, and

eing made a brigadierHgeiieral of Virginia militia, fought at Camden, also at

Guilford Court House, *#here his skillful dispositions were extremely servicea-

le to the army, and where, though severely wounded in the thigh, he brought

ff his troops in gowd order. General Greene bestowed on him marked com-

lendation. At Yorktown he performed important duties, and throughout the

?volution possessed a large share of the respect and confidence of General

iTashiugton. He was a member of the senate of Virginia from the adoption of

le State constitution until the year 1790.

GEORGE WASHINGTON, SURVEYOR.

In one of the books in the clerk's office of Culpeper is the annexed entry:
20th July, 1749 (O. S.)— GEORGE WASHINGTON Gent., pro-
duced a commission from the President and Master of Wil-
liam & Mary College, appointing him to be surveyor of this county,
. which was read, aiid thereupon he took the usual oaths to his maj-
eisty^'s persoii and government, and took and subscribed the abjura-
tion oath and test, and thereupon took the oath of surveyor, accor-
ding to law.

THE CULPEPER COMMITTEE OF SAFETY OF 1775.

Upon these committees were devolved the appointment of officers and other

6
local executive functions. They were elected by the freeholders. In 1775, the
l^ommittee was composed of John Jamesom, Henry Pendleton, James Slaugh-
ter, John Slaughter, and others, not certainly known to the writer. They
probably were some of the following justices of the peace of that day, to-wit:
Henry Field, Wm. Ball, Wm. Green, Ben. Roberts, Joseph Wood, Jno. Stroth-
er, Sam. Clayton and James Pendleton. Col. James Barbour and Henry Field
represented the county in 1765, &c.— Henry Field and French Strother in '74-
75-76, &c.

**CATALPA."

This name has become historical from having been the scene of the first
encampment of the Minute Men and by being applied to a district in the coun-
ty. It may be well, therefore, to record its origin.

The place now owned by Mr. J. C. Bell was the seat of Major Philip Clay-
ton, in colonial times, and was named from a catalpa tree (the first in the coun-
ty), transplanted by him from Essex. He married the sister of Robert Cole-
man, on whose land Culpeper was established in 1759, and called Fairfax,
which was its legal title before the Civil war. The first trustees of the town
were Nat. Pendleton, Wm. Green, Wm. Williams, Thomas Slaughter and Philip
Clayton. Ben Davis bad leased the land from Coleman and hence-tlie naiii&
Davis and Coleman streets. One of the daughters of P. Claytoi^ midbTriecf Nat.
Pendleton, whose son Nat. was a Minute Man of Culpeper, af terij^airds aid to
Gen. Greene, and was the second of Alexander Hamilton in his duel iwith Aaron
Burr. He was the ancestor of Geo. H. Pendleton, who was minister to Berlin.
His brother Henry was an eminent jurist in South Carolina, after whom the
Pendleton District was called. Another daughter of Clayton married Wm.
Williams, the father of Gen. James, Maj. John, Philip and Wm. Clayton "Wil-
liams, from whom a numerous progeny has descended. Another daughter
married Col. James Slaughter, the father of Captain P. ^laughter, who was
born at Catalpa, Dec. 1758. He was living with his grandfather and going to
school here to Adam-Goodlet, master of the first classical school ever in Cul-
peper to that date, when the Minute Men met in Clayton^s old field (Catalpa)
in 1775. Hence he had the best opportunity of knowing the facts recorded in
his journal. The Minute Man, Gen. Stevens, who cast the electoral vote of
this district for Washington, also married the daughter of Robert Coleman.

Hon. Thos. L. Thompson, who was once elected to Congress from Califor-
nia, is a lineal descendant of Philip Clayton and Philip Slaughter. The first
colonel of the Minute Men of Culpeper, Laurence Taliaferro, b!as descendants
here in the children of the late Dr. Alfred Taliaferro and Mrs. Alcocke.

FAIRFAX LODGE, NO. 48, A. F. & A. M.

The publishers are much indebted to Mr. George Dabney Gray, of the Cul-
peper bar, for the following extracts of an address which he delivered before
the members of Fairfax Lodge on the occasion of their Centennial Anniversary,
which was the 27th. day of December, 1894, The address was published in
pamphlet form, at the request of the Lodge:

"At the request of Fairfax Lodge, which came to me with the force of an
order, it was my pleasure to obey. I am here to speak to you on this Centen-
nial Anniversary of our Lodge, which we meet to celebrate to-night. We meet
as a band of brothers to retrim our altar fires and renew our devotion to the
sacred principles of our order.

"The day itself is a proud Masonic Jubilee, hallowed by associations of tbe
past and by traditions of the most thrilling interest to every Mason. For
many hundred years our order has celebrated the ^4th of June, and the 27th.
of December, in honor of St. John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist,

7
two eminent church Patrons in Masonry. But this 27th of Decemher, 1894, is
of especial interest to the members of this Lodge.

"One hundred years ago to to-day Fairfax Lodge, No. 43, was organized at
this place, under a charter from the Grand Lodge of Virginia, which was sign-
ed by Chief Justice John Marshall, then Grand Master.

"The Grand Lodge of Virginia was organized 1778, with John Blair, Mas-
ter and with only five Lodges Increased rapidly so that in 1794, 16 years af-
terwards when this Lodge was organized there were 42 Lodges in Virginia In
1822, there were 128 Lodges

James Mercer was Second Grand Master.
Ed. Randolph, Third Grand Master.
Alex. Montgomery, Fourth Grand Master.
Thomas Mathews, Fifth Grand Master.
John Marshall, Sixth Grand Master.
"The present number of Lodges in Virginia is over 300. On the 9th of De-
cember, 1794, a charter was issued by the Grand Lodge of Virginia for the for-
mation of Fairfax Lodge No. 43, at this place, then known as Fairfax. It was
signed by Chief Justice of the U. S., John Marshall, and named the follow-
ing as officers of the new Lodge: Philip Rootes Thompson, Master; Birket Da-
venport, S. W. and Philip Lightfoot, Jr., Warden, and at the same time a com-
mittee of three members of the Grand Lodge were appointed to install the
said officers.

"On the 27th day of December, 1794, at the house of Benjamin Shackelford,
in the town of Fairfax, the said officers were duly installed and the first meet-
ing of the new Lodge was held and the following additional officers were elect-
ed and installed : Thomas Knox. Treas., John Shackelford, Secty., Thomas
Jameson, S. D., Ed. Pendleton, J. D., John Hawkins, Tyler. The new Lodge
and the members repaired in procession to the Court House where a sermon
was preached by Rev John Woodville, Chaplain. He was the Rector of the
Episcopal church at that time.

"There were twenty members at the first meeting. The little town of Fair-
fax was then in its infancy, having been laid out in 1734; indeed the Republic
was then in its infancy. It had only been 13 years since the battle of York-
town, which secured the independence of the American Colonies, 7 years from
the adoption of the Constitution of the United States, and five years from the
election of the first President, George Washington, and he was still President
. in 1794, having been elected for the second term in 1792. George III was still
on the throne of England.

"Philip Rootes Thompson was the son of Rev. John Thompson, who was
Rector of St. Mark^s Parish, and in 1801-7 represented this district in Congress.
Birket Davenport was the great grandfather of P. L. Jameson. Major P.
Lightfoot is" well known to many of you: an old bachelor whose white cravat
and linen bosom were always spotless— the only man ever known who could
walk from his residence to the court house without getting a stain on his
shining shoes. Benj. Shackelford kept the house known as the old Bell Tav-
ern which was a large frame building situated on the corner of the lot on which
B. C. Macoy now lives. He was the father of John Shackelford, our old attorney
for the Commonwealth and grand-father of the late Judge Henry Shackelford.
This hotel was afterwards kept by Jerre Strother and it was burned down in
the year 1845. Thomas Knox was the father of the old merchant, Thos. F.

Knox, of Fredericksburg. Thomas Jameson was a nephew of Col. John Jame-
son an officer of the Revolution. John Jameson is the grand-father of Phillip
Jameson and was Clerk of the County from 1772 to 1810. Ed. Pendleton was
the son of Col. James Pendleton.

"Among the friends of this infant Lodge there was a distinguished General
of the Revolutionary army. He had gained great distinction at the battle of
Great Bridge and Brandywine, Germantown, Camden, Guilford C. H. and
Yorktown. He had been severely wounded at Guilford. He lived in the houfle
afterwards owned by P. T. Lightfoot (burned down). Soon after the Lodge
was formed he donated to them a lot of ground for the erection of a building
to be used as a Lodge room, and the Lodge by private subscription soon raised
money enough to erect a building for their meetings. Gen. Stevens also de-
vised by his will one acre of land near his own family burying ground to be
used as a cemetery for the members of the Lodge and their families. He died
in 1820.

*^The new Lodge continued to hold its meetings at the house of Benj.
Shackelford until they moved into their own Hall built upon the lot donated
to them by Gen. Ed. Stevens. The last meeting held at the house of Benjamin
Shackelford was June 3rd. 1797. The first meeting held in their new Hall was
on July 7th. 1797. The dedication was Aug. 1st. 1797, with appropriate cere-
monies. At their March meeting in 1798, a committee was appointed to wait
on Genl. Stevens and express the thanks of the Lodge for his great liberality.
At the meeting Dec. 27th. 1799, the following resolution was passed: Resolved,
that this Lodge show a testimony of their deep regret at the decease of oar
late and worthy brother, Genl. George Washington, Grand Master of America,
by wearing crape for the day and that the Treasurer prooore the same.^'
Washington died December 14th. 1799.

^^Among the members of the old Lodge from 1820, 1836, were the following:
Judge R. H. Field, distinguished Judge of the Circuit Court. Robt. G. Ward,
Clerk of Circuit Court till 1851. John C. Williams, known as Capt. Jack. Jer-
emiah Strother, grand-father of Rev. John Hansbrough and great grand-father

len, Wm. Conner^ Nimrod Popham, Thos. Porter, Wm. Ward and Moses Samuel.

**A ball was given in this Lodge room and by the Lodge to the Marquis De
La Fayette, upon his visit to this country in 1822. La Fayette was a great Ma-
son as well as a distinguished General and was the bosom friend of George
Washington.

''Culpeper was as famous then, as she has always been, for her beautiful
women, and La Fayette is said to have remarked on that occasion that he had
never seen prettier women.

"The Lodge continued to work under this charter of 1794 till the year 1847.
But we have no record of their meetings after January, 1801. Their building
was burned in the year 1846 or '47. In 1855, the Lodge was reorganized under a
new charter but with the same name and number and met in the Verandah
Building. The officers were F. Mauzy, Master, Dr. P. C Slaughter, Sr. War-
den, J; L. Burrows, Jr. Warden. In the year 1858 the present building was
erected by the subscriptions of the members of the Lodge with such aid as
could be obtained from other Masons.

"During the war between the Stated the work of the Lodge was suspended
from 1861 to 1865. During the occupation of the town by the Federal army in
the summer of 1862, under Gen. Pope, the Lodge room was broken open and the
Hall was greatly damaged, the furniture all destroyed and the charter, regalia,
jewels and books of the Lodge carried away. These books contained all the
minutes and proceedings of the Lodge from its organization down to the year
1861. Only one of these books has been recovered and fortunately that is the
one containing the minutes from the organization down to 1801, together with
a copy of the charter issued by Grand Master John Marshall. This old book
was sent by one Wm. J. Jenks, in 1894, just ten years ago to the Grand Lodge of
Pennsylvania, and by that Lodge ordered to be sent to the Grand Lodge of
Virginia, which was done and that Lodge sent it to this Lodge. No more in-
excusable act of vandalism was perpetrated during the war. The damages
were assessed in August, 1835, at $1,169.05 and certified to by the Federal offi-
cer then in command of what was theaa termed the "Sub District of Culpeper."
It is hoped that the time will come when these damages will be paid by the
U. S. Government as well as all other damages done to other Masonic property
and to churches.

"On the 30th of August, 1865, the Lodge held its first meeting after the war
under dispensation from the Grand Lodge dated 24th. of Aug. 1865* The meet-
ing was held in the office of Dr. R. S. Lewis over Alcocke's store. The officers
then were G. D. Gray, W. M., who had been Master since 1858, C. T. Crittenden,
S. Ww, R. S. Lewis, J. W., L. C Turner, Secty., Wm. M. Thomp3on, S. D., F.
D. Johnson, J. D., J. L. Burrows, Tyler. The Lodge met in their Hall the
26th. of January, 1866, and G. D. Gray was requested to visit Baltimore and
other places to solicit aid to purchase carpet, jewels, &c.; under this resolution
he visited Baltimore and obtained money sufficient for these purposes and the
Lodge passed resolutions of thanks to these Lodges on the 23rd. of Feb. 1866.
The Hall had then been papered and carpeted &c..

"Fayette Mauzy, Clerk of this County from 1838-73, 35 years, was a man Of
rare intelligence and geniality of nature; he had a memory unsurpassed in ten-
acity and accuracy and enjoyed the unwavering confidence of the people and
of the bar and bench. He was greatly beloved by his brethren of the Lodge,
and indeed by the whole community. He was ready at all times to give infor-
mation and advice to those who needed it. His most striking. characteristic
perhaps was his wonderful equanimity of temper. Diogenes hardly excelled
him.

10

''When Alexander the Great was at the city of Corinth during the PerBian
war he was visited by many statesmen and philosophers who came to do him
honor and he hoped that Diogenes would have come with them, but as he did
not, Alexander went to see him and he found him lying in the sun and taking
little notice of the great General. Alexander asked him how he could serve
him. *Only stand a little out of my sunshine^ said Diogenes. Alexander was
struck with surprise at finding himself so little regarded and saw something so
great in that carelessness that while his courtiers were ridiculing the PhUoso-
pher he said: *if I were not Alexander I would wish to be Diogenes.' Fayette
Mauzy would have received a visit from Alexander or Napoleon or from a
greater man than either, Robt. E. Lee, with the same composure but with
more politeness than was shown by Diogenes to Alexander. He was always
polite and courteous to every one and ready to serve them.

^^Dr. Philip C. Slaughter was a man of great sagacity and capital sense and
though somewhat reserved and peculiar he wielded great influence in the
county. He was truly a zealous Mason and rarely failed to attend the meet-
ings of the Lodge, and although for many years S. W., he was like the
Ephraimites who wanted to pass over the Jordan but could not give the tme
Shibboleth. He could never give the true response of his office. His death on
the 19th. of June, 1866, occurred at the Lodge room in this place; he was then
S. W. protem and we were giving the Master^s degree to J. S. Grinnan.

^^What shall we say of our faithful and zealous Chaplain, John Cole, one
of nature^s noblemen, and one of God^s highest and best gifts to man« for his
life was devoted to all that was noble and good and true. No thought of wrong
ever entered his mind or disturbed his high purposes. He had a virtue which
no power could tempt and a courage no danger could shake, and although his
face and bearing to some might seem austere, his big heart was as tender and
gentle and soft as a woman's.

^^Dr. Wm. M. Thompson, so long J. W., full of humor and fun and of great
kindness of heart, full of sympathy for the distressed. He was a man of sing-
ularly pure and upright character, honored and respected by all who knew
him. Perfectly devoted to his family and always in a good humor. His home
was the place where he was most loved and by wife and children he was con-
sidered without fault. He had a way, long to be remembered, of asking asnent
to every proposition or opinion advanced by himself with the question "Don't
you think so."

"Jesse L. Burrows, the faithful Tyler of the Lodge for more than 50 years.
The sacred oracles at Delphi were not guarded with more fidelity than did
this faithful sentinel guard the entrance of his Lodge. He loved his Lodge and
his heart was full of charity and love for all his brethren, and he was ready to
serve them at all times with alacrity and pleasure.

"Charles Ed. Lightfoot, fitted by nature to command, was one of the best
Masters that ever presided over the Lodge, and was as true and Knightly a
Cavalier as ever drew sword in defense of his country. In his dealings with
his fellow men, no one possessed a higher sense of honor.

"Of the ante- war Masons there are not more than half a dozen left. The
memory of those brethren and their deeds is grjeidually fading away. How for-
cibly these memories impress upon us the solemn lessons taught us so beauti-
fully in the Master's Degree. ^Man that is born of a woman is of few days and
full of trouble. He cometu forth as a fiower and is cut down. He fleeth as a
shadow and continueth not.' ^Our life is as a vapor that appeareth for a lit-
tle while and then vanisheth away.' The hearts of the strongest of us are but
as muffled drums beating funeral dirges to the grave."

CHAPTER II.

"THE GULPEPER MINUTE MEN."

The following is an address which was delivered by the late Rev. Philip
Slaughter, D. D., on the occasion of the presentation on the 6th. of September,
1887, of a flag to the Culpeper Minute Men. The reply of the late Judge John
W. Bell, who received the flag on behalf of the company, is also given.

"As the son of one of the original Minute Men of 1775, I naturally feel an
interest in their history. And as I happen to have the only contemporary
record of their flrst formation, I have thought it might have some interest for
you. The late Captain Slaughter, of Slaughter's Mountain, left a journal of
his daily life from the year 1775 (when, at the age of sixteen years, he joined
Capt. John Jameson's company of Minute Men, to the year of his death), cov-
ering a period of 75 years. In this journal he recorded the first formation of
the Minute Men of Culpeper, their first march to Williamsburg, and his daily
marches throughout the Revolutionary War, including a minute detail of the
battles of Brandy wine and Germantown; of the dreadful winter at Valley
Forge, near Philadelphia, where some officers were reduced to a single shirt,
and had to wrap themselves in a blanket while that shirt was washed, and had
to cut up the body of the shirt to make collars when they appeared on parade,
until the yoke and sleeves were all that remained; and the soldiers left the
print of their naked feet upon the cold snow. Some officers were better off,
and he tells an anecdote of his mess mate, Lieut. John Marshall (the embryo
Chief Justice) who had the only pair of silk stockings in the regiment. Just
before the battle of Brandywine, Marshall wore his stockings to an evening
party in the country, and slept that night in camp upon a bed of leaves. At
midnight alarm guns were fired, and Marshall not being able to find his stock-
ings in the dark, set fire to the leaves, which burned a hole in his stockings,
into which he thrust his feet, and away he went in that comical costume.

"Capt. Slaughter's war journal was taken by the Federals when my house
was pillaged during the Civil War. There was, however, a duplicate of the
first twelve pages in the author's autograph, and it so happened thai .these
pages contain the account of the time, place and circumstances of the organi-
zation of the Minute Men of Culpeper. Before I read some extracts from the
journal it may be well to remind you of the political situation that led up to
these events.

*'The year 1775 was the transition era from a monarchy to a republic.
When Lord Dunmore, fearing the resentment of the people for his removal of
the gun-powder from the magazine at Williamsburg, had taken refuge on a
man-of-war, British rule had practically ceased in what used to be called his
Majesty's ''Ancient Colony and Dominion of Virginia," but the republic had
not been formally inaugurated. In this emergency it became necessary to
take measures of self defence. The people met in convention July 17th., 1775.
The convention appointed a general committee of safety for the colony and di-
rected committees of safety to be chosen by the freeholders in each county.

13

Jlpon these committees was devolved the supreme executive authority. The
military consisted of two regiments of regulars, commanded by Patrick Henry
and William Woodford— and of the militia. The county lieutenant and com-
mander-in-chief of the militia of Culpeper was James Barbour, the great-grand-
father of the Hon. John S. Barbour and James Barbour, who was once a rep-
resentative from this county.

"The convention also divided the colony into 16 districts, in each of which
a battalion of 500 men was to be raised and disciplined to march at a moment's
warning. This district was composed of the counties of Fauquier, Culpeper
and Orange, and the committee of safety commissioned Lawrence Taliaferro,
of Orange, to be the colonel; Edward Stevens, of Culpeper, to be the lieuten-
ant colonel; and Thos. Marshall, of Fauquier, the father of Chief Justice Mar-
shall, the major of this battalion. They also commissioned ten captains for
the companies into which the battalion was distributed.

**Captain Slaughter only gives the name of the captain of the company to
which he belonged, to-wit: John Jameson, the grandfather of your townsman,
Mr. Philip Jameson, who was then clerk of the county. One of them probably
was Capt. Nat. Pendleton, who was the ancestor of George H. Pendleton, once
Minister at Berlin. Others may have been captain afterwards. General James
Williams, who has so many descendants in the county, and Major John Wil-
liams, the ancestor of the Pattons, who were so prominent in the late war, and
Captain James Pendleton, the ancestor of the Hon. Joh,n:S.vPendleton, Capt.
Philip, Clayton and Col. James Slaughter, who were with the Minute Men in
in the first battle in Virginia. The camp of the Minute Men was in Major
Clayton's old field (Catalpa), and the precise spot was marked within my mem-
ory by a grand old oak, which, with all its honors, the woodman 'would not
spare.' The author of the journal thus describes the meeting of the Minute
Men:

*We encamped in Clayton's old field. Some had tents, and others huts ot
plank, &G, The whole regiment appeared according to orders in hunting
shirts made of strong, brown linen, dyed the color of the leaves of the trees,
and on the breast of each hunting shirt was worked in large white letters the
words, 'Liberty or Death' I . and all that could procure for love or money
bucks' tails, wore them in their hats. Each man had a leather belt around his
shoulders, with a tomahawk and scalping-knife. The flag had in the center a
rattlesnake coiled in the act to strike. Below it were the words, 'Don't tread
on me !' At the sides, 'Liberty or Death' ! and at the top, 'The Culpeper
Minute Men.'

'During our encampment an express arrived from Patrick Henry, com-
mandant of the First Virginia Continental Regiment, by order of the commit-
tee of safety, then sitting in the city of Williamsburg, requesting the Minute
Men to march immediately to that city, as Governor Dunmore had conveyed
powder and military stores from the magazine to a British man-of-war, etc.,
etc. The Minute Men immediately made ready and marched with all possible
dispatch, and in a few days reached the city of Williamsburg. Many people
hearing that we were^ from the backwoods, near the Indians, and seeing our
dress, were as much afraid of us for a few days as if we had been Indians; but
finding that we were orderly and attentive in guarding the city, they treated
us with great respect. We took great pride in demeaning ourselves as patriots
and gentlemen. The Minute Men were chiefly armed with fowling-pieces and
squirrel-guns, and Dunmore having retired to the man-of-war, one-half of the
men returned home. My father remained, but insisted that I should go back
to school, I not being quite seventeen years old. This, by the advice of friends.

14

I agreed to do. Those Minute Men who remained under the command of Col.
Edward Stevens, of Culpeper, and Major Tom Marshall, of Fauquier, had the
honor of being at the battle of the Great Bridge, that being the first battle
fought in Virginia. They were also at Norfolk when that city was burned.

'In the spring of '76 I again left school and enlisted as a soldier in Captain
John Jameson's troop of cavalry, but before the company was ready to inarch
I was appointed by the committee of safety a lieutenant in Capt. Gabriel
Long's company of riflemen. We raised the company and marched to join the
army under Gen. Washington, in New York. In the spring of '77 we joined
the 11th. Va. Continental Regiment, in New Jersey, which was commanded by
Daniel Morgan.'

"This is all in the journal which concerns the Minute Men of Culpeper.

"So many of the Culpeper companies having been in the course of the war
absorbed into the Continental regiments that, by Act of Assembly October,
1776, they were dissolved and merged in the militia. Thus, though the men
were fighting on every field, the name no longer survived. When the name
had been buried nearly a century and the blast of the bugle was again heard
in the land, the sires rose in the persons of their sons, unfurled the old flag,
disclosing its emblem ready to strike, and rattling the warning, 'Don't tread
on me.' The Minute Men were reorganized, with Tazewell Patton, a graduate
of the Virginia Military Institute, for their captain. In 1860 a flag was pre-
sented to them by that unique orator, John S. Pendleton, who stirred their
hearts with his burning words. Captain Patton rapidly rose to be colonel of
the 7th. Virginia Infantry, and after braving the battle and the breeze on ma-
ny a hard-fought field, fell in that dreadful charge of Pickett's Division on the
Heights of Gettysburg in 1863. His body, after lying embalmed in a vault at
Baltimore, was re-interred in the Stonewall cemetery at Winchester, at dead of
night, in the same grave with that of his brother George, colonel of the 33nd.
Virginia Infantry, who, while commanding a brigade in the battle of Winches-
ter, was mortally wounded by a shell in 1864. And these two gallant, loving
brothers embraced each other in the dust of one grave. Three streams of
Revolutionary blood met in their veins — that of the Minute Men of Culpeper,
Major John Williams and Capt. P. Slaughter, and that of Gen. Mercer, the he-
ro of Princeton.

"And this reminds me of an incident in Gen. Mercer's life, pertinent to the
present occasion. When a captain under Washington, in the war against tlie
Indians and French in 1775, his right arm being shattered by a ball, he became
separated from his company, and with the Indians whooping in hot pursuit,
he only escaped by hiding in a hollow tree, upon which they sat without dis-
covering him. Having a wilderness of 100 miles to traverse he was only saved
from starvation by killing a rattlesnake, upon which, and some roots, he sub-
sisted until he reached Port Cumberland. It was fitting that the son of a sire
who had fed upon a rattlesnake should command a company whose flag was
emblazoned with a picture of that animal, and which was a/i« simiie of the flag
under which his ancestor marched through the wilderness to Willamsburg in
1775. There appeared in the London Morning Chronicle, of Feb. 25, 1776, a re-
markable article in these words: *The Americans have a flag with a snake
with 13 rattles on it, in the attitude to strike, and with the motto, 'Don't tread
on me.' It is a rule in heraldry that the worthy properties of an animal on a
crest should alone be considered. The rattlesnake is an emblem of America,
being found in no other part of the world. The eye excels in brightness. It
has no eye-lids, and is therefore an emblem of vigilance. She never begins an
attack, and never surrenders, and is therefore an emblem of magnanimity.

15-

She never wounds until she has given warning. Her weapons are not display-
ed until drawn for defence. Her power of fascination resembles America —
those who look steadily on her are involuntarily drawn towards, and having
once approached, never leave her. She is beautiful in youth, and her beauty
increases with age. Her tongue is forked as lightning.

"Captain Patton was succeeded by his lieutenant, Capt. Crittenden, who
soon rose to the command of a regiment, whose flag he followed in many a
bloody battle, and is with us to-day, a battle-scarred veteran, still owning the
flag, all tattered and torn, presented by Pendleton to Patton in 1860. The
Minute Men of Culpeper were again reorganized in 1879 by Capt. Wm. Nalle, a
graduate of the Virginia Military Institute. His lot has fallen in times of
peace, but if ever the occasion comes to "flash his maiden sword," he will
doubtless bear himself as becomes a Minute Man of Culpeper. And this brings
me to your present gallant captain (Burrows), who, though not himself de-
rived from the Minute men of '75, his better half is; and what is better still, he
has won his laurels on the field, having shed his blood at Manassas, and been
captured in Picket's historic charge at Gettysburg. To him I now present
this flag in memory of the men who fought our battles in council and in the
field. Perhaps it may enhance your interest in it to know that it was painted
for me by a maiden who is a lineal descendant of a Minute Man of '75. And
now let me say to the young men who have not been promoted to the holy es-
tate of matrimony, that when the aforesaid Minute Man was made captain in
the field he wrote the m^me of his sweetheart upon his commission, vowing
that it would never be disgraced. Having heard that a powerful rival was be-
sieging the heart of his betrothed in bis absence, aud not being able to get a
furlough, he sent a sergeant 500 mileS to Culpeper, to make a reconnoisance of
the situation, who reported that the enemy had retreated. After the war they
were married. Perhaps you would like to know her name — it was Margaret
French, the same as that of Col. Patton's mother, who was her grand-daugh-
ter. She was the daughter of French Strother, who represented Culpeper for
thirty (30) years, and who was Senator when he died. He was a member of
the Assembly of '76, which gave us our constitution, bill of rights, and act of
relig^ious freedom. His own son, Geo. French, was a member of Congress from
Culpeper, as was also his grandson, James French, whose son, Captain Johri
Strother, has served in council and in the field. He is represented here to-day
in the person of Dr. Johnson Strother, who also, with Mr. George Williams and
his son, represent Gen. James Williams, of the Revolution. And I may add
that a grandson of this romantic marriage is here this morning, a member of
the present company of Minute Men, as are also two descendants of James Bar-
bour— the county lieutenant of 1775, whose grandson and great-grandson have
represented us in Congress, and another of the same name in the General As-
sembly and the convention."

judge bell's reply.
*'Dr. Slaughter:

Rev. Sir. — It gives me the profoundest pleasure to meet and to greet you
here to-day. I rejoice from the inmost depths of my heart to look upon your
face again, and to see in it plainly the fading lineaments of your distinguished
sire who, one hundred and eleven years ago, stood near the wide-spreading and
historic oak on yonder hill, and helped form and command the first *Culpep-
er Minute Men' of 1775, and who threw to the breeze their ever memorable flag
with the deflant motto, 'Don't tread on me.'

"They shed lustre on themselves in the Revolution of '76, and have come
down to iK)sterity with imperishable honor I Glory and honor, and riches and

16

fame to the illustrious old Philip Slauj?htor of Culpeper.

^'Born and commissioned for an exalted destiny, the old Minute Men of
Culpeper boldly declared, *no taxation without representation,' and cour-
ageously adhered to the great prerogatives of Magna Charta, 'life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness.' They will live in history and in the hearts of the
people, as long as the love of American liberties survives.

"The second company of the Culpeper Minute Men was formed in April or
May, 1859, just eighty-three years thereafter. Impelled by the like gallant
spirit that aroused their fathers of '76, they marched out, fought and bled in
defense of their personal and property rights, of their constitutional and polit-
ical liberty: a cause than which, none more sacred ever enlisted the feelings
and patriotism of men, or employed the strong arm and courage of soldiers.

"Glorious, valorous Minute Men of 1860 1 They, like their illustrious pred-
ecessors of '76, 'formed in a minute, marched in a minute, and fought in a
minute.'

"Turned over to the Confederate States they were afterward merged in
the distinguished and chivalrous 13th. Virginia, once commanded by the dis-
tinguished and gallant Hill, afterwards Lieutenant General of the. Confederate
forces, and the courageous and "bloody 49th.," then commanded by the gal-
lant and intrepid Smith, afterwards the War Governor of Virginia. They will
live in the brilliant history of the Southern Confederacy of States, as those of
'76 do in that of the united colonies of North America.

"And now, soldiers, can a richer compliment be paid to the 'Minute Men'
of 1879, than to receive this beautiful and lovely flag, this day presented to you
by this distinguished and eloquent son of the yet more distinguished old Cap-
tain Philip Slaughter of Culpeper.

"As I behold you standing before me, I recall an incident which, if my
memory does not fail me, I read in the history of the campaigns of Frederick
the Great. At night-fall, after one of those sanguinary, but victorious en-
gagements, which crowned him as the mightiest captain of his age, the shat-
tered and bleeding remnant of one of his legions was ordered up for the roll-
call. As the name of each absentee was called, a shout like the sound of a
trumpet rent the air with the answer, 'dead on the field of honor'!

"Soldiers and man, if the roll-call of the 'Minute Men' of a century ago was
now called, how those brave, grand words would reverberate down the lapse
of years.

"You bear on your flag the fierce motto under which they marched to
death — you bear their name, and though no stern alarms now dispel the peace-
ful quiet of your lives, the strict performance of military duty the soldierly fi-
delity of comrade to comrade, the sleepless vigilance by the bivouac and by
the camp-fires are yours to perform.

"Bone of their bone, and fiesh of their fiesh, may you, soldiers, prove wor-
thy of your illustrious predecessors; bear aloft their fiag untarnished and un-
soiled, and emulate their example in war and their virtues in peace.

"I accept this flag, Dr. Slaughter in the name of the 'Culpeper Minute
Men' with the profoundest gratitute and pride."

The word died those who died during the war. A star could have been used
against those who displayed great courage, a good and brave soldier, but it
would have required discrimination

condition of the army and the long winter were his excuses, but spring opened

river at Kelly's Ford and advanced to within six miles of Culpeper Court
House, when they were engaged by the brigade of General Fitzhugh Lee. The

ENGAGEMENTS IN CULPEPER COUNTY.
On June 26, 1862, General John Pope was appointed to the command of the
Federal "Army of Virginia." One of his first official acts was to issue a mani-
festo to the soldiers and officers of this army, directing a series of depredatioDS
upon the peaceful, noncombatant residents of the country they had invaded,
authorizing arbitrary arrests, ordering such as should refuse to take the oath
of allegiance to be "driven from their homes, considered spies, and subjected

38

to the extreme n^or of military law." This placin": of the helpless people of
an invaded country at the mercy of an unbridled and unscrupulous soldiery
was keenly felt in Culpeper county where Banks, commanding Pope's second
CDrps, had at this time a strong advance guard stationed South of Culpeper C.
H., and near Gordonsville, Orange county.

Pope's object was to obtain possession of Gordonsville, where the Virginia
Central and Orange & Albemarle railroads intersect, and destroy communica-
tion between the Confederate capital and the Shenandoah Valley. To effect
this, Banks ordered a brigade of Infantry to Culpeper C. H., July 14th, while
this cavalry, under General Hatch, advanced to seize Gordonsville. But Gen-
eral Lee's superior strategy had enabled him to comprehend the purpose of the
advance through Culpeper, and although the whole army of the Potomac
menaced him before Richmond, he had not hesitated to dispatch to Gordons-
ville, on the 18th, his most trusted lie?a tenant. "Stonewall'' Jackson, at the
head of his own and Ewell's divisions.

Hatch fell back only too quickly from Gordonsville on finding an army of
15,000 men where he had looked to overawe non-fighting citizens. Until re-in-
foreed, the Federals in Culpeper largely outnumbeiing his force, Jackson held
Gordonsville, warily watching the gathering of the enemy before him. July
26th A. P. Hill's division joined him, and he del ermined to offer battle. **Hav-
ing recieved information," says Jrtckson's official report **that only a part of
Pope's army was at Culpeper C. H.," [Its numerical force outnumbering his
force even then] **and hoping, through the blessing of Providence, to be able
to defeat it before reinforcements should arrive there, Ewell's, Hill's and Jack-
son's divisions were moved on the 6th in the direction of the enemy from their
respective encampments near Gordonsville. * * * On the 9th, as we arrived
within about eight miles of Culpeper C. H., we found the enemy on our front,
near Cedar Ran, a short distance west and north of Slaughter [Cedar] moun-
tain.''

BATTLE OF CEDAR RUN.

Jackson was not the general to hesitate in the face of overwhelming odds,
and he promptly offered battle. Ewell's division was oidered forward on his
right, Timble's and Hay's brigade on the northern slope of Cedar mountain,
Early's brigade on the Culpeper road; Jackson's division commanded by Gen-
eral Winder, was on the left; Campbell's brigade commanded by Lieutenant-
Colonel Gp-rnet, the brigade of General W. B. Taliaferro, and the famous
*'Stonewall" brigade in reserve. Hill's division was in reserve. The Federals
were drawn up in strong position on a plateau just beyond Cedar Run, the ar-
tillery in front of the infantry, the cavalry on the flanks. Crawford's brigade
of Williams' division (Federal) was the extreme right of Banks' line of battle,
Geary's, Prince's and Greene's Brigade of Augur's and Bayard's divisions con-
fronting Ewell's division, and Gordon's brigade formed the Federal reserve.

The artillery opened the battle about noon, and until 3 p. m. kept up a con-
stant fire. General Winder was killed about 8:30 p. m., while directing the
fire of some batteries. At 3 p m. Banks ordered forward his whole line. The
First Virginia Battalion was struck at great disadvantage, and the Forty-Sec-
ond, ordered to change front and meet a fiank attack, lost its commanding of-
ficer, Major Layne. The Confederate forces met the attack with heroic obsti-
nacy; Colonel Garnet was wounded, Lieutenant-Colonel Cunningham, of the
Twenty-First Virginia was killed; the 12th Georgia held their ground, though
attacked in front and rear. Jackson then ordered up the brigades of Branch,
Archer and Pender— Hill's division. The Federals fell back across a wheat
field and endeavored to form another line of battle, and Banks ordered Gordon's

34

reserve into action. The fresh Confederate brigades flung themselves into ac-
tion with an order against which the demoralized Federals could make no
stand, and in another hour they were* driven from the field, leaving the narrow
valley where the infantry fought covered with their dead. One Massachusetts
regiment (Second Infantry) had thirty-five percent, of the men engaged killed.
The battle had been short, sharp and sanguinary. Jackson's official re-
port shows: 223 killed, 1,060 wounded, 31 missing. He captured 400 prisoners,
three stand of colors, and 5,302 small arms. The Federal loss was 1,661 killed
and wounded, 723 missing; total 2,303. After a day spent in burying the dead,
Jackson fell back toward Gordonsville, satisfied there would be no further ef-
fort to mass troops in that direction. He had won what the northern news-
papers were pleased to term ''a tactical victory," and it was not the first "tac-
tical" defeat Banks had met at his hands. This battle of Cedar Run is also
variously called: Cedar Mountain, Slaughter Mountain, Southwest Mountain,
and Mitchell's Station

August 12th Longstreet, with his division and two brigades under General
Hood, Stuart's cavalry, and the brigade from the James under R. H Anderson,
were ordered to Gordonsville, whicli force, combined with Jackson's, Lee in-
tended should give battle to Pope's "Army of Virginia," now in force beyond
the Rapidan For once, comprehending the Confederate purpose, Pope hasti-
ly retreated across the Rappahannock, and Culpeper county was relieved of
the presence of his hated troops

In the early months of 1863, General Lee initiated the movements prepara-
tory to the invasion of Pennsylvania, and the troops for the campaign were
marshalled on the Culpeper plain. Stuart, his war horse literally covered
with floral offerings from the ladies who gathered to witness the display, re-
viewed the cavalry of the Army of Northern Virginia at Brandy Station.

THE BATTLE OF BRANDY STATION

Was an attack, June 0, 1803, on his cavalry by a portion of Pleasant's cavalry.
General Hooker, the "lighting Joe Hooker" of the Northern press, was now in
the command of the "Army of the Potomac," and Pleasanton was his recently
ajjpointed cavalry leader. The Federals crossed the Rappahannock at Bev-
erlys and Kellys fords, nine thousand men and six batteries, at daybreak June
9th. Major McClellan, Stuart's adjutant-general, puts Stewart's force at nine
thousand three hundred and thirty five men and twenty guns, but states that
three thousand men were absent at the time of the battle, making Stuart's ac-
tual fighting force one third less than Pleasant's. The latter formed his plan
of attack on the mistaken supposition that Stuart was at Culpeper (^. H., and
ordered his troops to rendezvous at Brandy Station. Unfortunately for his
plans, Stuart's troops were concentrated at his place of rendezvous.

General Buford, commanding Pleasanton's first division, came up from Bev-
erly Ford, met Stuart's whole force at St. James church, fought some hours,
was attacked in the rear, and finally compelled to fight his way out and back
to the ford. Colonel Gregg, with Pleasanton's third division, came up from
Kellys Ford, and in turn received the attention of Stuart's men, now well
warmed up for the work. Pleasanton's second division, commanded by Col-
onel Duffle, did not reach the battle field until^late in the day, just as Pleasan-
ton, informed that Confederate infantry was approaching, ordered a retreat.
The Federal official report of the battle places the loss at five hundred, and
Stuart's loss at seven hundred. As Stuart captured four hundred prisoners, it
is safe to presume that this official statement is far from accurate — by no
means an uncommon occurence.

Other engagrements on the soil of Calpeper county were of minor note, chief-
ly as follows: A repulse of three Federal regiments of infantry and one of cav-
alry, raiding near Calpeper C. H., July 12, 1862; August 20, 1862, a similar expe-
rience for a body of Federal cavalry at Brandy Station; and the same next day
at Kellys Ford; a skirmish at Kellys Ford, March 17, ISflS; a raid of Federal cav-
alry through Rappahannock Station, Kellys Ford and Brandy Station, August
1-^, 1868; a cavalry raid for the **Army of the Potomac" to Brandy Station,
September 6, 1863; a fight at Kellys Ford November 7, 1883.

THE BAPTISTS OF CULPEPER

CHAPTER IV.

[The publisher is indebted to Rev. E. W. Winfrey, pastor, and to Mr. H.
C. Burrows, of the Culpeper Baptist Church, for all the information contain-
ed in this chapter.]

Within the territory which originally formed the County of Culfwper, now
embracing the counties of Culpeper, Madison and Rappahannock, there are
at the date of this writing, (October, 1899) thirty churches or congregations, of
white Baptists, with an aggregate membership of more than three thousand
and seven hundred (3,700,) and we may say that nearly all of the colored peo-
ple of this territory, who are members of any church, are Baptists. When the
original Culpeper county was formed (1748) there was probably not a Baptist
within its borders. In the year 1763 Allen Wyley, **a man of respectable stand-
ing in the county,^^ living near Flint Hill, now Rappahannock county, having
been '^turned to (iod,^^ but not knowing of any preacher whose teaching fully
accorded with views which he had formed, **had sometimes gathered h sneigb-
bors, read the scriptures, and exhorted them to repentance; but, being inform-
ed of the labors of Rev. David Thomas in Fauquier county, he with some of his
friends traveled thither to hear him.^^ The immediate result of this visit was
that Mr. Wyley was baptised, and prevailed upon Mr. Thomas to go home
with him and preach at his house. This man, David Thomas, ^*the first Bap-
tist preacher tlat ever proclaimed the gospeP^ in the county, was born at Lon-
don Tract, Pennsylvania, Aug. 16th. 1732, and educated at Hopewell, N. J.
The degree of A. M. was conferred upon him by Rhode Island College, (Brown
University.) He was in Virginia, a noble champion of religious liberty, and
suffered severe persecutions. Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry held him
in high esteem, and he highly valued them as friends of liberty. He will be
long remembered as the author of a stirring poem on ^Freedom/ *' (Beaie's
Semple, p. 21.) Eleven years after this first visit to the county, that is, in 1774,
Mr. Thomas organized the Mt. Pony church, *' the members coming from a
church in Orange County, called Mountain Run, constituted in 1768, and dis-
solved in 1772.^^ The first pastor of Mt. Poney church was Nathaniel Saund-
ers, who professed religion uiider the preaching of Mr. Thomas. The name
of this church was taken from the small, well-known mountain at the base
of which stood the first house of worship, some two miles from the town of
Culpeper, on the road to Stevensburg, but was changed to ^* Culpeper " April
29th, ltt73. In 1833 this church removed with sixty white members to the
town of Culpeper." At that time Waller R. Asher and his wife, were the only
white Baptists living in the town." In 1834 a house of worship was built at a
cost of $1,200 on a lot purchased of Dr. Buck near BelPs Ford on Mountain
Run, a part of which building still remains and constitutes the rear portion of
the present residence of Mr. C. F. Chelf.

'/ For valifable Information concerning each of the churches of this denom-
lilation in the territor jr in question the reader is referred to' the " Historical
Sketch of the Shiloh Association,," published with ^' the Minutes of the One
Hundredth Session," 1894. (See Specimen " Sketches " below). And for much
profitable reading as to the lives and characters of the leading meni who a
<5entury and more ago proclaimed the doctrines, planted the churches, and
Buffered in the service of this sect, we refer to Semple^s History of the Rise and
Progress of the Baptists in Virginia, ( Revised iBind Extended by Dr. G. W,
Beale in 1894), and to Dr. James B. Taylor's '' Virginia Baptist Ministers."

Ko one thinks to-day with other feelinirs than those of shatne and sorrow
and severest disapprobation of the misguided zeal of those who blindly and
T-ainly sought to suppress this people when they began to arise and assert
themselves upon our soil. Nor can any fair minded person for a moment
think to hold any Individual, church, party, or sect of the present responsible
for the crimes or mistakes of a generation long since departed. At the same
time, the true historian cannot fail to note and all generations need to know
9uch heroism, such devotion, such self-sacrifice as was exhibited by the pion^
ears of the Baptist faith in this part of Virginia. John Picket, one of these
pioneers, was for about 3 months, (possibly in 1780), confined in the Fauquier
prison for the '' crime " (?) of preaching the gospel. Elijah Craig, who was
spoken of as '' a man of considerable talent," was upon one occasion arrested
** at his plow," and ** taken before three magistrates of Culpeper who, with-
out hearing arguments, ordered him to jail. At court, he, with others, was
arraigned." In spite of sound arguments on the part of their lawyer they
were imprisoued for one m^nth and *^ fed on rye bread and water, to the in»
Jury of their health." James Ireland,of whom Henry Howe in his ** Virginia,
Its History and Antiquities " speaks as ^* a worthy clergyman of the Baptist
persuasion," was born in the city of Edinburgh, in 1748. While still a young
man he came to America and took charge of a school in the northern part of
Virginia. His was an active and versatile mind, though, his education an ac-
count of the roving disposition of his youth, was defective. He is described as
being *' a man of common stature, a handsome face, piercing 'eye, and pleas-
ant countenance: In his youth he was spare, but he became by degrees quite
corpulent, so that not long after, his second marriage he wanted but nine^
teen pounds of weighing three hundred.**

In 1769 or 1770, at a meeting in Pittsylvania County, Mr. Ireland was bap^
tised by the Rev*d Samuel Harris, immediately returned to his home with cre-
dentials signed by eleven ministers, *'and in the spirit and power of his Mas-
ter devoted himself to the great work of preaching the gospel." But, his
growing popularity and success excited the indignation of those who were in
authority and brought down upon his head fierce persecution." Being rough-
ly seized by order of magistrates, he was thrust into the Culpeper Jail because
he had dared to preach without the authority or sanction of the bishop." He
was accompanied to prison amid the abuses of his persecutors, and while in-
carcerated in his cell not only suffered by the inclemency of the weather, but
by the i>ersonal maltreatment of his foes. They attempted to blow him up
with gunpowdei:, to suffocate him by burning brimstone, etc., at the door and
window of his prison, and even to poison him. He states that he might speak
of a hundred instances of cruelty which were practiced." When, subsequent-
ly, Mr. Ireland went down to Willamsburg with a petition to the governor,
Lord Botetourt, for a permit to have a meeting house built in Culpeper coun^
ty, he found the governor altogether kindly and affable in manner, but the
clergy of the city, to whom by direction of the governor he applied for exami"

nation, were ^' of quite a different character:" " they appeared/' ho says,*' ob-
stinately determined not to ^iveme the requisite examination; every one shif-
ted it upon another, till at last I obtained it from a country parson living: 8
miles from the capital, and presented it to the governor and council, who
firanted me a license for those tliinprs i)etitioned.''

The <?rowth and success of this denomination in this, as in other sections,
of the State is in no small measure due humanly speakin:i:, to this unwise per-
secution : The ra<j:e of these misguided ecclesiastics was the excess of folly:
They defeated their own aims: They contriijuted t^ the power and increase of
those whom they esteemed enemies tothe cause of truth and reli<?ion. We do
not question the sincerity of their motives, but their error of judgment was,
from every point of view, colossal and inexcusable.

It would be pleasant if we could here put on record suitable mention of
all those zealous, noble men who built so wisely and successfully upon the
foundation laid by them that suffered and toiled thi-ougrh the initial .staere of
the history of this denomination in this section. There were Nathaniel Saun-

Bennett, B. P. Dulin, W. S. Bri^<?s, A. M. Grimsley, Milton Robert Grimsley,
and others amonfi^ deceased ministers, not to mention those who are still zeal-
ously engaged in the same work, nor the many strong and influential *' lay-
men," living and departed, who perhaps have been not less faithful nor less
efficient in their less conspicuous spheres.

We cheerfully attest that the Baptists of this region are among the most,
peaceable, law-abiding, enterprising, industrious, frugal, and everyway, valu-
able as well as the most numerous of our citizens. Not a few of them are prom-

• • •

inentand influential in business, in social life, and in. the various professions.
It is an honor to the County, as well as to the denomination of which we now
write, that so devout and scholarly, preeminently useful, a man as Dr. Jno. A.
Broadus, who died but a few years ago while occupying the position of Presi-
dent of the Southern Baptist Theological Seniinary, was a son of this old
County. If space allowed, we might name others who have gone forth from
among us and in various callings and walks of life have adorned the name of
their native county and the traditions of their religious denomination.

The peculiarities of this people are not. numerous, but are esteeiped by
them,as of vital importance:— They have always laid jf^mt emphasis upon the
doctrine of individual responsibility, and contended^ thfit i^ is the right and
the duty of every man to study the Scriptures for himjjelf and to worship God
according to the dictates of his own conscience: They insist^ upon a credible
profession of faith in Jesus Christ as the prerequisite to . ha^tiem,— upon im-
mersion as essential to baptism,— upon the inJependejace of the churches—
(holding that each church is responsible only to Christ as,. her, He^ad and Law-
givjer, though any number of churches may combine and .co-operate, in be-
ne vplpn^ and religious enterprises,)- and, upon the absolute equality of the
piini^tryi the majority of them hold that none are entitled to the privilege of
coming to the Lord's ta])le, or participating in the observance of the Lord's

41

Supper, who are not consistent members of a church of regenerate and im-
mersed believers. They are aggressive in educational and benevolent and
missionary enterprises, and readily co-operate with all other Christians in all
good works when they can do so without sacrificing their cardinal principles .

We append, from the ** Historical Sketch " above referred to, a few ex-
tracts, or individual sketches, which contain matter of interest to many of our
citizens. It will be observed that the churches named are those within the
present limits of Culpeper County.

*' Jeffersonton, at the village of that name, in the county of Culpeper,
about 16 miles N. E. of the court house, formerly Hedgeman^s River, was or-
ganized in 1773, the constituent members coming from Carter's Run in Fau-
quier. John Picket was pastor till 1790. His successors have been John Hick-
erson till 1809, Daniel James till 1811, Thornton Stringfellow till 1818, Daniel
James again 1818-1822, E. G. Ship one year, Cumberland George 1823-1863,
Barnett Grimsley 1863-1881, L. R. Steele 1881-1884, and M. R. Grimsley who
still serves in that capacity. Her membership, since 1876 has grown from 134
to 171."

Since this was written the membership of the Jeffersonton church has in-
creased to 204, but the pastor last named, Mr. Milton Robert Grimsley, loved,
honored, and now lamented by many hundreds of our people, has entered into
the everlasting rest. He is fitly spoken of as *'Grirasley, the loving and belov-
ed." A strong and useful mau, just a little past 45 years of age when on June
the 9th, 1899, he ceased from the joys and labors of earth. The present pastor
of this church is Rev. L. R. Thornhill, D. D., who has but recently come to re-
side within our borders.

"CuLPBPER (of which your committee have the honor to be members) sit-
uated since 1834 in the town of Culpeper, was constituted in 1774 by Elder
David Thomas, *the first Baptist preacher that ever proclaimed the gospel in
Orange and Culpeper,' the constituent membere coming from a church in Or-
ange county, organized in 1768, and known as Mountain Run. Until April
29th, 1873, the Culpeper church was known as the Mt. Poney church. *In
1791 she sent off her first colony to Gourd vine, and in 1803 her second — (72
members) to Bethel; In 1833 she dismissed a third to Stevensburg and removed
with the remaining sixty white members to the town of Culjjeper. At that
time Waller R. Asher and his wife were the only white Baptists living in the
towD.K *The pastors have been Nathaniel Saunders (as supply 1774-1777,) John
Leland, Wm. Mason, Nathaniel Saunders, Wm. Mason again, John
Churchill Gordon, (1822-1847,) Cumberland George, (1847-1863,) J. N. Fox and
R. H. Stone until Sept. 24th, 1865, James B. Taylor, (1865-1875,) A. C. Barran,
(1875-1882,) 0. F. James, (1882-1889,) and E. W. Winfrey who came into the
service of this church in December, 1889. The house of worship erected in 1858,
at a cost of about $10,000.00, 'on the spot where stood the old jail in which
James Ireland' and others were 'imprisoned for preaching the gospel' as Bap-
tists, was destroyed by fire on the night of October 6th, 1892. The new build-
ing which takes its place, on the same historic spot, will cost about $15,000.00.
This church has enjoyed frequent revivals and, at various times, large addi-
tions to her membership; But, by reason mainly of deaths and removals, the
net increase in members has not been considerable for a number of years. In
1876 there were 195 members, now there are 265. Elders M. D. Jeffries and S.
W. Cole were members of this church. The lamented Frank C. Johnson who
had just entered the ministry and his brother Thomas A., now a promising
young Baptist preacher, were both members of this church in their early boy-
hood."

The Rev. Jno. F. Harris, since deceased, was a son of this chnrch and in
}iis purposef ulness and fervent zeal was laboring as the pastor of churches in
another county when fatal sickness laid its hand upon him. It is proper to say
also that the membership of this church has grown to be 312, and that the
beautiful and substantial new house of worship memtioned in the above
sketch was dedicated on the 16th day of June, 1895.

"Crooked Run, in Culpeper county, about 10 miles S. W. of the court
house, 4s a daughter of Blue Run.' She began her career in 1777. Her pas-
tors have been Elijah Craig 'for about two years,' James Gamett Sr. for more
than fifty five years, his grandson James Gamett Jr. for about forty-six years,
J. W, McCown for more than fourteen years, J. W. Bishop one year, Jotn C.
Willis (as a supply) for about 10 months, and J. IE. Gwatkin whose term of ser-
vice began February, 1893. The membership in 1876 was 74; it is now 73. The
eloquent Elder Champ C. Conner, who subsequently removed to Tennessee,
was a son of this church.-'

Rev. E. L. Grace is now the pastor of Crooked Run, and the membership
is 89. The annual reports of contributions of this church are next to the larg-
est of all the churches of the Shiloh Association.

"GouRDViNE, in Culpeper county, 12 miles North of the court house, was
constituted March 11th, 1791 — (see Culpeper) — with Wm. Mason as pastor.
He served in that capacity until Oct., 1823, and was followed by Jas. Garnett
— 1822-1863--Barnett Grimsley— 1863-1881— T. P. Brown— (first as assistant to
B. Grimsley and then as sole pastor 1881-1888,) and F. P. Berkley who assumed
pastoral care of the church in February, 1890. The membership of this church
in 1876 was 132; This year she reports 121— (see Amissville.) Elders A. M.
Grimsley and John Roberts Moffat t were ministerial sons of this church. A
brief account of Bro. Grimsley's life and labors and death will appear in your
Minutes of this session. Bro. Moffatt, a great nephew of Elder Anderson Mof-
fatt, already mentioned in this paper, had devoted himself with characteris-
tic sincerity and enthusiasm to the cause of Temperance and become a leader
of the Prohibition party in the State. In November 1892, while on his way to
the opening — (night) — session of the Baptist General Association in Danville,
he was met and killed by a political enemy. At that time he was the much
beloved pastor of the Baptist church in North Danville, as well as Editor of
the Prohibition paper — Anti-Liquor. He was a man of no small abilities, de-
cided convictions, earnest piety, consuming zeal and unfaultering courage,
and though only 34 years old had been largely useful."

The present pastor of the Gourdvine church is Rev. S. W. Cole, who also
serves the New Salem church mentioned below.

*'Bethel, in Culpeper county, about 9^ miles West of the court house,
was constituted in 1803 — (see Culpeper.) Her pastors have been Wm. Mason—
(1803-1821)— Daniel James, as supply— August 1822-March 1823 — Jas. Garnett—
(1823-1874)— A. H. Spil man— (Sept. 1874— March 1875)—, and Thomas F.
Grimsley since July 1875. During the past 18 years her membership has in-
creased from 167 to 285. From this church have gone into the ministry T. P.
Brown, John H. Boldridge, James R. Brown, and Wade Brown."

Rev. T. F. Grimsley is still pastor at Bethel, and the membership has come
to be 310.

**Cedar Run, in Culpeper county, some 6 or 7 miles South West of the court
house, was organised in April, 1830. The first house of worship was built ou
an island in the stream, Cedar Ran, just below the point at which the rail-
road now crosses the same. The second, erected a few years before the war,

4B

and torn down by Federal soldiers, stood about a half-mile East of MitchelPs
Station. Another by the almost unaided liberality of the pastor, Elder James
Garnett, was erected on the same spot after the war between the States, but
was torn down in 1878, and rebuilt on the present site. Two years ago, the
church determined to erect a new house of worship; this is now nearly com-
pleted, and will probably cost about $1,400. Her pastors have been James
Garnett— (1830-1874)— Dr. Wm. A. Hill— (1877-1880)— W. G. Roan— (1881-1883)—
J. A. Chambliss— (June 1883— Feb. 1884)— and I. N. May, who has been serving
in that capacity since 1884. The parents of Elders J. S., M. B. and H. M.
Wharton were active and honored members of this church, and Elder J. S.
Wharton was by her licensed to preach. Seventeen years ago her membership
was 38; this year she reports 7.")."

Since the above was written, the membership of Cedar Run has increased to
103, the Rev. Gabriel Gray has served for a number of years as pastor, and the
Rev. Hugh Goodwin has but recently taken charge.

'*New Salem, in Oulpeper county, about 7 miles North of the court house,
on the flperryville and Oulpeper Turnpike, was constituted in January, 1834,
by Wm. F. Broaddus and B. Grimsley. Her first pastor. Champ C. Conner,
served from March 18 U, to March, 1835, and was followed by B. Grimsley —
(Oct. 1835-Oct. 1849)— ,J. W. Brown— (Feb'y 1850— Oct. 1850)—, Jno. W.
George— (June, '53-Feb'y '51)— Silas Bruce— (1854-1801)— A. M. Grimsley— (1865
until his death in April, 1894.) During the terrible period of the civil war, the
church had no pastor. Since 187(5 her membership has grown from 89 to 146
in 1894. Chas. W.Collier became pastor in August, 1894. Elders Jno. A.
Broadus and J. M. Farrar went into the ministry while members of
this church. Elder A. H. Lewis, now in Missouri, was for a number of years a
member here. Elder R. H. Stone once held memV)ership in this body. And,
this was the church of Edmund Broadus, father of Elder John A. Broadus,
§,nd for many years a very prominant and influential member of this Associa-
tion."

As noted above. Rev. Mr. Cole is now pastor at New Salem, the Rev. C. W.
Collier having previously served in that capacity for a year or two.

"Stevensburg, at the village of that name in Culpeper county, 7 miles
from the court house, was organized in 1833 — (see Culpeper.) Thornton String-
fellow was her pastor from October, 1833 to October, 1848. Cumberland George
served in that capacity one year. Then followed Jno. W. George — (1851-1861.)
In 1832 the meeting houj'e was burned, and the membership became scattered,
and seems to have had no regular meetings for live or six years. In July 1868
they began to gather for worship in a small house at or near Lignum. Elder
H. E. Hatcher preached for the little band several times in 1807 and 18G8. El-
der A. H. Bennett was pastor 1809-1871. In October 1871 the church was reor-
ganized in the Methodist house of worship at Stevensburg by Elder James B.
Taylor. From that time until his death in April 1875, Elder A. H. Spilman
served as pastor, J. W. McCown was his successor — (1875-1831) — and he was
succeeded — (1881) — by the present pastor. Elder T. P. Brown. In eighteen
years her membership has increased from 79 to 97. For some years, during the
sixties and seventies, this church appears on your Minutes under the name of
Germanna."

Rev. Mr. Brown is still pastor at Stevensburg, and the membership is now
103.

"Alum Spring, in Culpeper county, 6 miles North of the court house, be-
came a church November 16th, 1855. From that date until his death, August
25th, 1863, Cumberland George was her pastor. Her other pastors have been

44

John N. Fox— (June 1865— May 1878)— John H. Boldridge— (December 1878-
August 1881)— and T. P. Brown from September 1881 until now. This chureli
was one of the fruits of a prayer meeting held in the woods during the Sum-
mer of 1854. Seven of the twelve origrinal constituent members are still in the
flesh. Her membership eighteen years ago was 44; this year she reports 130.
Elders B. W. N. and A. M. Simms, now preaching in Texas, went into the min-
istry while membeis of Alum Spring."

This church, still under the pastoral care of Rev. Mr. Brown, reports this
year a membership of 187.

"Lael, four or five miles S. E. of the village of Stevensburg, in Culpeper
county, was organized in May 1874 by Elders J. B. Taylor Jr. and R. H. Stone,
with nine male and twelve female members who came from Stevensburg and
Flat Run, a majority from the former. Her pastoi*s have been R. H. Stone—
(1874-1884) — and F. H. James since March 1885. Her present house of worship,
a beautiful building, was erected in 1890. The 21 members with which she
began 20 years ago have now become 188. In the beginning, she paid her pas-
tor $40 00 a year for "once a month" preaching; The pastor now occupies her
pulpit on two Sundays of each month, and receives a salary of $250.00 per an-
num. In something like this ratio she has increased her contributions to mis-
sions and other benevolent enterprises. Mr. A G. Williis, one of her best be-
loved and most highly honored members, has contributed much to the attain-
ment of this prosperity and progress."

Lael, with Rev. F. H. James still serving as her pastor, reports a membe^
ship of 205.

"Brandy, at the railway village of that name in Culpeper county, was
constituted in 1887, by Elders T. P. Brown, F. H. James, F. P. Robertson, and
C. F. James. The twelve constituent members came from Stevensburg, Jef-
fersonton and Good Hope churches. Elders C. W. Brooks served as pulpit
supply for one year. For 14 months F. P. Berkely was pastor. J. E. Gwatkin,
who now serves in that capacity, took charge in i891. Her membership this
year is 53. This church, beginning in a school house and afterwards occupy-
ing for a time the house of worship kindly tendered by the Methodists of the
place, has manifested a most praiseworthy zeal and perseverance in the erec-
tion of her own handsome building, now almost completed."

The church at Brandy Station now has a membership of 63, some of these
being among the most "well-to-do" and influential people of the county, and
has the pastoral services of Rev. L. H. Shuck, D. D. During the past year
this church has been much alfiicted in the death of Mrs. Sallie Stringfellow to
whose energy and zeal the origin and progress of the church are largely due.

NOTES ETC. FOR GENEALOGISTS.

CHAPTER V,

Prom the early will books of Culpeper county, beginning: July 20, 1749, and
standing to March 10, 1821, the publisher has taken the following notes. In
oing so we were guided by no set rule, but took notes of wills from which it
'as possible to derive any genealogical information, excepting some few, which
e deemed not of sufRcient importance to justify the printing of notes there-
rom. Following th^ notes from wills we give the complete marriage record
f Culpeper from the year, 1781 to January 1, 1825. Prior to 1780 the mar-
age record was kept by the Church authorities; an effort was made to pro-
ore the whole or a part of this record, but it could not be found.

The marriage record which follows immediately after the notes from wills
tc, can be used in this way. Take the will of Spencer Butler, by which it
pX)ears, that he had a daughter, Dorcas, who married a Duncan. Now, look
I the marritige record, where it can be seen that in 1797 James Duncan mar-
ed Dorcas Butler.

Roger Dixon was the first clerk of the county. He was succeeded in 1772
y John Jameson. The first will recorded was that of

Elmore George, dated Sept. 1st, 1748, which was witnessed by Wm. Nash,
hristopher Threlkeld and Jno. Wetherall. He speaks of his wife, Martha, of
is sons, William and Thomas; also of his brother, William George.

The remainder of the notes we give in alphabetical order.Note the follow-
ig explanations. First is given the testator^s name, then the date the will
as written; then his wife's name, where it is possible to obtain it; lastly the
times of his. children, and other genealogical information that might be at
and: The date last given is the probate of the will. Book **G," from April 1,
^3, to June 17, 1817', is missing, the supposition being it was lost during the
ar between the States.

FAMILY GENEALOGIES.

CHAPTEK VI.

Prom various sources, all of which we consider most reliable and accurate,
the publishers have gathered the following information, which is appended
in a condensed form. We have endeavored to give all the possible data that
could be obtained, in which Culpeper people, or descendants of Oulpeper peo-
ple, might be interested.

THE DESCENDANTS OF PAUL MICOU.

1700 to 1896.

Paul Micou, b. 1658, d. 1736, a Huguenot, left his home at Nantes soon af-
ter the revocation of the Edict of Nantes (1685.)

After some years of exile, ^probably in England, he finally settled on the
Rappahannock River, in Essex Co., before 1695. His wife (maiden name sup-
posed, but without, evidence, to be Margaret Roy or LeRoy) and his children
accomf^anied him. Accounts vary as to his profession; judging from this
clause in his will: **I give my friend. Dr. Mungo Roy, all my physick books and
a gold ring," he was a physician. On the other hand, the fact that he was a
Justice of the Peace as early as 1700, seems to point to his having some knowl-
edge of law. The author of "The Huguenot Emigration to Virginia," in the
Va. Hist. Collections, states that he was educated to the Bar. He served as
Justice of the Peace in Essex county, from 1700 to 1720; his son, Paul, from 1740
to 1760; and his grandson, Paul, from 1780 to 1799. He judiciously invested in
land and slaves, owing at the time of his death, in addition to the Port Micou
estate, large tracts of land in King George Co., in Pewmansand, and 800 acres
in Spotsylvania County.

Bishop Meade, in his "Old Churches, Ministers aud Families of Virginia,"
mentions Rev. Wm. Giberne, who became minister of Lunenburg Parish,
Richmond county, in 1762, and adds "he married a daughter of Moore Faunt
LeRoy and Margaret Micou. Her father was Paul Micou, a Huguenot who
fled from Nantes before 1700." "At the old Port Micou estate on the Rappa-
hannock, may still be seen the large, heavy ironstone or black marble head-
stone of this Paul Micou, the first of the name who came into this country. By
reason of its weight and the lightness of the soil, it sinks every few years
somewhat beneath the earth but is raised up again." Rev. P. Slaughter, in
his "Memoirs of Col. Joshua Fry," says "Col. Fry married the widow of Col.
Hill, a large landed proprietor on the Rappahannock River. Her maiden
name was Mary Micou, and she was a daughter of Paul Micou, physician and
surgeon, a Huguenot exile from France. Another of his daughters married
Lunsford Lomax, the grandfather of Judge John F. Lomax of Fredericksburg,
Va. Another daughter married Moore Faunt LeRoy, a man of mark in his
day, and the ancestor of the family of that name in Virginia." Paul Micou's
children were as follows:

1. Paul Micou, who inherited theHomestead, Justice of the Peace for Essex
county, from 1741 to 1760. He died a bachelor. 2. John Micou, ra. Catherine

THEYAXOEY FAMILY.

The first trace we have of this family is that four Welchmen, Charles,
William, Joel and Robert Yancey, who came to Virgrinia,in 1642, with Sir Wm.
Berkley, afterwards Govemor,and settled in the James River rejcion and pros-
pered. Prom one of the original four was descended Lewis Davis Yancey, who
settled in Culpeper county about 1710; married Mildred, daughter of Charles
Kavanaugh, of Irish parentage, who owned a large land estate of 40,000 acres
in said county. This tract extended westward and above the Beverly line up
Muddy Run to Judge Field's MiUs, across by Poor Town to Gibson's Mill on
Mountain Run. A portion of this land he bequeathed to his daughterMildred,
which portion has never been out of the Yancey family, and is still owned by
Benjamin M. Yancey, a great grandson of Lewis Davis and by Jas. Wm. Yan-
cey, a great great grandson. Lewis Davis lived and was buried on the estate
of the latter, "Arlington/' From the *'Crawford Book" we have, "John Yan-
cey came from Wales about the middle of the 17th century;" then there must

THE THOM FAMILY.

The first member of the Thorn family, of whom we can trace any definite
record was Alexander yhom, a native of Scotland, and of the Clan of Cameron
in Invernesshire.

He was born about 1720, and died in Westmoreland county, Va., 1788.

He was an officer of rank and served under the ill starred banner of the
the Royal Prince, Chas. Edward Stuart, at the fatal field of CoUoden moore,
April 16th, 1746.

After that dreadful disaster to the cause he was a refugee and came, as so
many others, to America, where he settled in Westmoreland Co., Va., where
he afterwards married Miss Annie Triplett about 1768; to them were born nine
sons: John, Reuben, Geo., Allen and others.

John Thom was born about 1770 in the county of Westmoreland; he re-
moved to Culpeper county, where he resided till his death.

He was Col. of a regiment of Culpeper troops and commanded it during
the second war of Independence 1812 — 1815. He served the State two or more
terms in the General Assembly. He died 18oi> (?) in the quiet of his home at
Berry Hill, at the ripe age of 85. He left a large estate which was devised by
will mostly to his children.

Col. John Thom was twice man-ied; first to Miss Lucy Lewis, of Essex Co.,
Va.; to them were born John Catesby, who m. Miss Ada Dormman, and issue
two sons: John (who died young), and William Taylor Thom.

Lucy, the daughter of Col. John Thom and his wife Miss Lucy Lewis, mar-
ried Mr. Wm. Taylor, of Point Coiipa Parish, Louisiana, where they lived and
died childless in 186—.

The second wife of Col. John Thom was Miss Abigail DeHart Mayo, third
daughter of Col. William Mayo, of Powhatan seat, Henrico county, and his
his wife Elizabeth Poythress. By this marriage he had: Elizabeth Mayo, who
m. Mr. Wm. Buckner Ross, of Bel Pre, Culpeper; they had five children. Dr.
George Ross, of Richmond, Col. John DeHart, of Lexington, Lieut. Wm. Alex-
ander, who was killed in the front of battle, leading a charge in 1864, Judge
Erskine Mayo now a U. S. Circuit Judge in the State of California, and Mary
Cameron m. and lives in Richmond.

Janet Marion Thom, born 1818, married Mr. Bartliolomew Labuzan, of Mo-
bile, Ala.; issue; Charles, Catesby, Pembroke, Anna and Elizabeth; they all re-
side in the far South.

Wm. Alexander Thom, born 1820, graduated in 1841 from the Medical Col-
lege of Virginia. He was surgeon to the 39th Va. Infantry in 1861, and later
was on the staff of the Jackson Hospital, in Richmond, during the war. He
married Miss Annie Parker, of Northampton Co.; and liadl. Wm., who married
and died in 1894 leaving a widow and three children; 2. Al-
fred, who m. and has a son^ Alfred Jr., 8. Marion E.

Cameron Erskine, born 1825, mamed three times: first Miss Beach, second

Miss Henrietta Hathwell, third, her sister Miss Belle Hathwell. He moved to

California early in life, where he served that State in her legislature and other

capacities. Of his" children little is known in the East.

Joseph Pembroke Thom, born 1828, ^adaated in Medicine from the Uni-
versity of Virginia. He served in the Mexican war, 1846, under General Wing-
field Scott; he was afterwards surgeon in the U. S. Navy. At the outbreak of
hostilities in 1861 he volunteered his services to his native State. While in
temporary command of Wheat's batallion at the battle of Kernstown he was
struck over the left breast by a minie ball, but as he was carrying a small tes-
tament in his side pocket, the force was received on it, which saved his life.

For many years he has been a resident of Baltimore, where he has been one
of the Aldermen, also in the State Legislature, where he was Speaker in 1884.
He married 1. Miss Ella Wright, second Mrs. Catherine Reynolds, and had sev-
eral children. Abby Mayo Thom, the youngest of the family of Col. John and
Abigail DeHart (Mayo), was born December 28d, 1880, at Berry Hill, Culpeper.

THE THOMPSON FAMILY.
[By Judge John W. Jones, of Bowling Green, Ky., June, 1900.]

The oldest Thompson of whom anything is accuratsly and definitely known

Of the many who have borne the name of Thompson, Richard Wigginton
Thompson, like Saul among his people, stands forth pre-eminently. His life
was so long, his honors so many, his ability so great, his person so handsome,
and his manners so winning, that, oven in a genealogical history like this, he
demands more than a mere passing notice.

Born in Culpeper county, Va., June 9th, 1809, he received the usual education,

in the schools of that early day. When about twenty years old, he made a trip

to Kentucky, to look after some lands located in the Southern portion of the
state, in which the Ball heirs, one of whom was the second wife of his father,
had an interest. Having attended to this, he went to Louisville, where he ob-
tained a situation as clerk in a dry goods store, which he retained a little more
than a year, when he gave it up and left for Bedford, Ind., where he secured a
similar position, and borrowing some books from a friend, commenced reading
law at night and during such leisure moments in the day as he could
snatch from his regular vocation.

88

In 1834 he obtained a lieense, and began the practice of his profession. The
same year, and the following one he was elected to the lower branch of the In-
diana Legislature. In 1836 he was elected to the State Senate. In the exciting:
Log Cabin and Hard Cider campaign of 1840, he was a Presidential elector on
the Whig ticket, and made a number of speeches in support of Harrison and
Tyler, in which he displayed no Jittle oratorical ability. The same year he was
elected to Congress, and re-elected in 1847, declining the nomination in 1850.
He also declined the Mission to Austria tendered him by President Taylor the
following year. When Mr. Fillmore, by the death of General Taylor, became
President, Col. Thompson was offered the position of Commissioner of the Gen-
eral Land Office, which he also declined.

In 1877 he was tendered the position of Secretary of the Navy by President
Hayes, which he accepted, and continued to discharge the duties of the oiHce
for nearly four years, when he resigned to accept the position of Vice- Prcisident
of the Panama Canal Company, receiving for his services the handsome salary
of 125,000 per annum. This place he held nearly eight yeais. Col. Thompson
also held other positions of trust and profit, among them that of Circuit Judgre,
tlie duties of which office he discharged for a number of years. Besides the
public positions held and declined by Col. Thompson, and his attractiveness
and eloquence as a public speaker, he was also a forceful and graceful writer,
having during his life written and published a number of works; of the li8t,one
against Catholicism, another on the tariff, and still another containing his
recollections of the Presidents and other public men, one of the most attractive
and readable books issued from the press for years.

In politics as already intimated. Col. Thompson was originally an *'01d Line
Whig," and in addition to his canvass in support of Harrison, in 1840, took an
active and prominent part in that of the ''Great Commoner" in 1844.
. Upon the disbandment of the Whig party. Col. Thompson united with the
Republicans, with whom he continued to act as long as he lived, attending
their conventions, framing many of their platforms and supporting their nom-
inees in speeches of great force and eloquence. At the regular meetings of the
party every four years to nominate a candidate for President, few men attract-
ed more attention than Col. Thcmpbon ; his snow-white head, his brilliant,
black eye, his easy and graceful carriage, united with a bright and sunny smile,
never failing to make him one of the men of mark in those great assemblies.

In private life. Col. Thompson's character was as pure and spotless as his
public life was distinguished and honorable. An afTectionate husband, a kind
and indulgent father, a tiue and ccnstant friend, a libeial and public spirited
citizen, he commanded the respect and esteem of all classes and conditions of
people.

If one wishes to know who a n)an is, read the newspapers. If one desires to
ascertain what he is, ask thoee with whom he is thrown from day to day— his
friends and neighbors. It does not always follow that a man's reputation from
home and his character at heme go hand in hand. This, however, was literally
true of Col. Thompson. Popular as he was with strangers, he was no less hon-
ored and esteemed by his own people— the people of Terre Haute, where he had
so long lived, and where he so recently died at the advanced age of ninety,

crowned with years and honors, and presenting the anomaly of having known
, and conversed with more Presidents than any one living, and of having out-
lived all his colleagues in the Congress of 1841.

The Rev. William Taliaferro Thompson, of Charleston, S. C, grandson of
Merriwether Thompson and Martha S. (Patsy) Broaddus, a sister of "Kitty W.
Broaddus, who married William Mills Thompson, Sr., furnishes the following
concerning the descendants of his grandfather, who was a cousin of William
Mills Thompson.

1815, at Maj. Wm. Broaddus' residence in Culpeper county, Va., by the Rev.
John Woodville; issue :

ferro Thompson; 2. Martha Thompson; 3. Magnus Stribling Thompson."

THE JONES FAMILY.

[By Judge John W. Jones— June, 1900.]

It is no easy task to write the genealogical history of any family with any
degree of accuracy. To write that of the Smiths or Joneses, if carried any
distance into the past, is an impossibility. There are so many different fami-
lies of these names, in no way related to each other, that a person who at-
tempts a sketch of any special one, will meet with the same difficulty encoun-
tered by a traveller in a strange section when coming to a number of roads
leading in the same direction, yet none of them containing a finger-board to
inform him which particular one he should take, in order to reach his point
of destination.

When the particular Jones family with which this sketch has to deal first
came to the United States, where it located, and what was its origin, whether
English or Welsh, is not certainly known. It is believed, however, that it is
of English extraction, and settled in Essex county, Virginia, somewhere near
the beginning of the 18th. centurv, if not earlier; some of its members moving
thence to Culpeper about the time of the organization of that county in 1748.
At any rate, the reconis of Culpeper show that Gabriel Jones commanded one
of the eight companies, furnished by the county for the war of the Revolution;
that previous to its commencement, he had twice married, first Ann Waller,
who bore him one child, a daughter named Ann, who married William Scott,
and moved to Lynchburg, Virginia. They had four children : Grabriel, Robert,
Waller and Hugh. The records also show that Capt. Jones' second wife was
Martha Slaughter, daughter of Robert Slaughter, the elder, the first Church
Warden of St. Marks' Parish, by whom he had four children : Robert, Francis,
Gabriel and Mary.

Robert and Francis emigrated to Kentucky, about the year 1820, the for-
mer locating in Adair county, and the latter in Warren county, near Bowliug
Green. Of Roberts' descendants, little or nothing is known.

Francis married Hetty Coons and left several daughters and two sons,
William and Cuthbert. William married Mary Mooklar, by whom he had
four children : Maria, Sarah E., Mary B., and Prank A. Maria married James
E. Harney; Sarah E. married Temple Smith; Mary B. married John T. John-
son; and Frank married Adda Hall. Cuthbert studied medicine; married
Eliza R. Treat, and moved to Chester, Illinois, many years ago. They had
eleven children, as follows : 1. Francis S.; 2. Mary E.: 3. William C; 4. Robert
S.; 5. Llewellyn Powell; 6. Eliza R T.; 7. Edward R.; 8. James P.; 9. Peyton C;
10. Susan T.; 11. Herbert C.

The most of these children died young and without issue; only one of
them. Judge William C. Jones, of St. Louis, Mo., marrying and having any

00

descendants. Nov. 20th, 1850, Judge Jones married Mary A. Chester. They
had ten children, of whom only four are living, viz : Fannie 8., who married
Walter S. Watson, Julia M., who married Joseph P. Goodman, James C. and
Giles F., who are unmarried.

Gabriel Jones, the third son of Captain Gabriel' of the Revolution, married
Jane Wigginton. They had seven children : Emily, William Wigginton,
Gabriel Scott, Seth Slaughter, Eliza Ann, John Wigginton and Martha
Slaughter. Emily married George W. Ronald, son of William R-onald, a lead-
ing member of the Richmond, Virginia, bar in its early days, who was of
counsel for the British creditors holding claims against persons residing in the
United States prior to the Revolution. The children of George W. and Einily
Ronald were as follows: Francis S. J., William A., Sarah J., Gabriel J., Rich-
ard W., Emily, Ann E., George W., Seth S., Mary M., John N., Harriet M.,aDd
Balsora J.

Francis S. J. Ronald, the first child of George W. and Emily Ronald,
when quite a young man, left the parental home in Warren county, Ky., and

been Deputy Sheriff, Postmaster under Buchanan's administration, and pro-
prietor of one of the largest and most popular tobacco warehouses in the city.
He was married twice; his first wife being Mary Decantillon, and his second
Margaret Thompson. By his first marriage he had three children : William
A., Emma and Mary D. His second wife died childless. William A. married

1849, when he at once opened an office and commenced the practice of his pro-
fession. By assidious attention to his duties, and success in their performance,
in the course of time he built up a large and lucrative business, and,
although he has been in the harness for more than half a century, and is a
man of fortune, he continues to practice, insisting that **it is better to wear
out than to rust out." He married Laura Glover, daughter of William R.
Glover, a prominent and wealthy citizen of Lou^ville. Doctor and Mrs. Ron-
ald have but one child, Albert G., who is a graduate of the Louisville city

collector of taxes. He married Hetty Camp. They had four children : Wil-
liam Edward, Gabriel Ambrose, Robert C, and Eliza.

William Edward, the first child of Gabriel Scott and Hetty Jones, was a
Lieutenant in the Mexican War, and a Captain in the Confederate army. In
1862, while leading his company in a charge through the streets of Glasgow,
Kentucky, he was killed. He married Kate Franklin, of Ijouisville, and left
several children, whose names are unknown.

Gabriel Ambrose, the second child of Gabriel Scott and Hetty Jones, com-
menced the discharge of the active duties of life as a constable. He afterwards
engaged in the livery business in which he was engaged at the time of his death
in 1898. He married Lottie Ellis, who bore him five children : Frank, Hugh,
Ellis, Norton and Mary Lee, all of whom are living, except Ellis.

Robert Camp Jones, the third child of Gabriel Scott and Hetty Jones, was
for a number of years, and at the time of his death, an excellent and popular
teacher in the public schools of the city of Louisville. .He was twice married.
The name of his first wife was Anna Barrel. The name of his second, Anna
Kirby. Each had one child. The name of the child of the first wife is May
Esther. That of the second wife, Bertie.

Eliza, the fourth child of Gabriel Scott and Hetty Jones, married William
Ellis, and had three children : Jessie, William T., and Fay.

John Wigginton, the sixth child of Gabriel and Jane Jones, before arriving
of age, left Culpeper county and located at Louisville, Kentucky, where he
obtained a situation in a dry goods store. In 1838 he purchased a stock of
hardware and commenced business for himself, which he conducted for a few
years, when he returned to Virginia, and married Mary Eliza Valentine, a
most estimable lady, the daughter of Edward Valentine, of Staunton, Vir-
{(iaia, and his only child. The fruit of this marriage was six children : Susan
Archer, Sally Anderson, Edward Valentine, Ella Jane, Mary Eliza, and Anna
Rosa. Edward Valentine is an Episcopal minister and has charge of two
churches, one in Albemarle county, the other in the county of Louisa. He
married Mary Smith Ruffin, and has four children : Edward Valentine, Ed-
mund Ruffin, Mary Ruffin, and Susan. Ella Jane married Richard B. Rich-
ardson, and has no children. None of the other daughters have married.

His first wife having died, John Wigginton Jones married Marion Stuart
Alexander, who bore him five children : Julia Manderville, John Stuart, Mar-
tha Slaughter, Gustavus Alexander, and Ashton Blair. Of the children two
are married : Julia Manderville and Alexander Augustus, the former having
married Charles Stuart Mayo, who died without issue, and the latter Mary E.
Scott, wro has two children : Elvira Scott and Gustavus Alexander.

Martha Slaughter, the seventh and youngest child of Gabriel and Jane
Jones, married Wesley H. Perkins, who died from cholera in 1849. They had
no children.

Mary, the only daughter of the Revolutionary soldier. Captain Gabriel
Jones, and his wife, Martha Slaughter, was a woman of many excellent quali-
ties, both of mind and heart. Marrying, early in life, Richard Young Wiggin-
ton, a man of considerable fortune, who died childless soon after their mar-
riage, having no children of her own, she was enabled to become a mother to
the children of others. How well she discharged this self imposed duty is well
attested by the care and attention she bestowed upon a number of her half
neices and ne^jhews, grandchildren of her mother, Martha Jones, and her second
husband, William Broadus, two of whom, William H. Ward, and Martha F.
Thompson, she adopted and educated, the former living with her as long as
she lived, and the latter until her marriage, which took place at her
home. Besides these two, there were several others, whose mothers bore the
name of Broaddus, among them the late R. W. Thompson, who, after the
death of their mothers, always found a home at this kind hearted old lady's
residence, and received substantial legacies from her at her death.

Stern and exacting, where principle was involved, this excellent old woman,
in what she regarded as the non-essentials, was yielding and indulgent. Not
only was she kind and generous to her relations, but a good and true friend to
the poor, and one who sympathized with them in their trials and misfortunes,
and at all times stood ready, with willing hand and open purse, to minister to
their comforts, and relieve their wants. Years ago she went to her eternal re-
ward , and her body is interred in the old family graveyard, near the homestead
where she so long and so well performed her deeds of thoughtful and unpre-
tentious generosity and kindness. The old house too, which was once the
scene of the performance of so many good deeds, is also gone, and another and
more modern one occupies its place, but the fragrance of the memory of its
inmate and owner, is still fresh in the minds of the few who are left to recall
and relate the story of her many virtues and excellencies. The old Wigginton
place is now owned and occupied by Mr. S. W. Thompson.

AMBROSE POWELL HILL,

LIKUTEXANT— GKNKRAL, CONFKDKRATE STATES ARMY.

Ambrose Powell Hill, a lineal descendant of Captain Ambrose Powell, a
vestryman of Bromfield parish in 1752, and the son of Maj. Thomas Hill, waft
born in Culpeper county November 9, 1825. He entered West Point Academy
July 1, 1842, and graduated thence July 1, 1847, the fifteenth in merit in a
class of thirty-six, among whom were Generals John S. Mason, O. B. Wilcor,
H. G. Gibson, A. E. Burnside, John Gibbon, R. B. Ayers, Charles Griffin,
Thomas H. Neill, W. W. Barnes, E. L. Viele, and L. C. Hunt, of the United
States Army, and General Harry Heth, of the Confederate Army. Enteringr
the First Artillery as Brevet Second Lieutenant, Hill became First Lieutenant
September 4, 1851. He was engaged during the Mexican war at Huamantla
the 9th of October, and at Atlixas the 12th of October, 1847, and in Florida
against the Seminole Indians in 1849 — 50, and from 1852 to 1855. He was an

95
assistant on the coast survey from November, 1855, until March 1, 1861, when
he resigned his commission. Upon the breaking out of hostilities between the
North and South, he was chosen Colonel of the Thirteenth Virginia Regiment,
which, at the first battle of Manassas, with the remainder of the command of
General Joseph E. Johnston, arrived on the field just in time to secure and
complete the victory of that memorable day. Colonel Hill was promoted Feb-
ruary 26, 1862, to the rank of Brigadier-General, and by his signal gallantry at
the battle of Williamsburg, in May, drew the eyes of the public upon him.
He greatly distinguished himself in the sanguinary seven days battles around
Richmond, commencing on the 26th of June, in command of one of the largest
divisions of the Army of Richmond, and which was composed of the brigades
of Anderson, Branch, Pender, Gregg, Field and Archer. At Meadow Bridge,
with only a portion of his command, he made the first attack upon McClellan,
and in a terrible conflict encouraged his troops by a fearless intrepidity which
constantly exposed him to the fiercest fire of the enemy. Successful at this
point. General Hill was placed first in the line of advance and bore the brunt
of the action at Frazier's Farm, where, with his own division and one brigade
of that of Longstreet, he fouglit and overcame a largely superior force which
broke the spirit of the enemy and achieved final victory.

In this series of battles the division of Hill lost 3870 men killed and wounded
Immediately after this battle General Hill was promoted, July 14, 1862, to the
rank of Major-General. In the campaign of Northern Virginia the division of
A^ P. Hill was sent to reinforce Stonewall Jackson, who had been dispatched to
check the advance of Pope. At the battle of Cedar Run, Hill gallantly bus-
tained the prestige he had won. He also bore a conspicuous part in subse-
quent operations, marching with Jackson in his fiank movement towards the
Rappahannock and Manassas. At the second battle of Manassas he repeated
a similar exhibition of valor to that of Frazier's Farm, and with dauntless
abandon met and repulsed at the point of the bayonet six distinct and separ-
ate assaults of the enemy, a majority of the men a portion of the time being
without cartridges. The next day (August 30, 1862), his division was again
engaged, and late in the evening drove the enemy before thpm, capturing two
batteries, many prisoners, and resting at night on Bull Run. At Sharpsburg
the accomplishment of A. P. Hill was in brilliancy not surpassed by any other
recorded during the war. With three brigades, numbering scarce 2,000 men,
he drove back Burnside's Corps, 15,000 strong.

After the battle of Sharpsburg, when General Lee determined to with-
draw from Maryland, Hill was directed with his division to cover the retreat
of the army, and in the performance of this duty at Botlers Ford, on the 20tli
of September, 1862, was enacted one of the most terrible episodes of the war.
Lee's ariijy was well across the Potomac when it was found that some brigades
of the enemy had ventured to cross during the preceeding night and were
making preparations to hold their position. General Jackson at once ordered
A. P. Hill to drive the enemy back. After some preliminary movements a
aunultaneous charge was made by Hill, and the enemy forced in a confused
mass into the river. "Then writes General Hill, describing the action with
^aphic horror, "commenced the most terrible slaughter this war has yet
witnessed. The broad surface of the Potomac was blue with the float-
ing CORPSES OF OUR FOE. But few escaped to tell the tale. By their own
account they lost 3,000 men killed and drowned from one brigade alone. In this
battle Hill did not use a piece of artillery; but relying upon the musket and

bayonet, he punished the enemy beyond precedent. At the battle of Freder-
icksburg, HilPs Division formed the right of Jackson's force, at Chancellors-
ville the center, and participated in the flank movement that crushed Hooker.

96

The death of the illastrious Jackson devolved the command upon Hill, and
he was soon after wounded. Upon the reorganization of Lee's army he was
made, May 24, 1863, a Lieutenant-General, and placed in command of the third
of the three corps into which it was divided. His was the first corps in action
at Gettysburg. In Lee's flank movement of the same to get between Meade
and Washington City, A. P. Hill sustained the only reverse of his career.
Having fallen upon a superior force of the enemy at Bristoe Station, conceal-
ed by a railroad embankment, in a vain effort to dislodge it he lost several
hundred in killed and wounded, and five pieces of artillery. In the momen-
tous campaign of 1864 General Hill was again conspicuous, his corps, with that
of Ewell, opening the action in the Wilderness. A few days thereafter his fee-
ble health so gave away that he was unable to remain on duty, when Jubal A.
Early was assigned to the command of his corps. After the scenes of Spot-
sylvania Court House, General Hill reported for duty, resumed command of
his corps, and fought with it to the last day in front of Petersburg. August
25, 1864, at Reames Station, he attacked the enemy in his entrenchments and
carried his entire lines, capturing seven stand of colors, 2,000 prisoners and
nine pieces of ai-tillery.

At the final attack on the Southside Railroad and the defense of Peters-
burg, he was restlessly active in his exertions to repel the Federal attack. On
the morning of April 2, 1865, desiring to obtain a nearer view of a portion of
the line of the enemy, he left his staff behind him in a place of safety, rode
forward accompanied by a single orderly, and soon came upon a squad jof
Federals who had advanced along a ravine far beyond their lines. He immed-
iately ordered them to surrender, which they were on the point of doing, un-
der the supposition that a column of troops was just behind him. But soon
discovering that he was slightly attended, they fired upon him, and he fell,
pierced through the heart by a rifie ball.. The following night his body waft
hastily buried in the cemetery at Petersburg, but was subsequently reinterred
in Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond, where his remains are marked by the
words, **Lt-Gen. A. P. Hill," cut into the granite curbing in front of the grave.
The trust reposed in A. P. Hill by the illustrious chieftains, Lee and Jackson,
found solemnly impressive exemplification in the dying ejaculations of each,
which, too, are remarkable for their semblance. **Tell A. P. Hill to prepare
for action," were amongst the words of Stonewall Jackson. **Tell Hill he
must come up," were the last words of the peerless Lee. What more honora-
ble tribute?

CQLPEPER AS A BAHLE GROUND.

IN THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES.

CHAPTER VII.
[By Jud^e D. A. Griinsley.]

[Daniel Amon Griinsley, son of Rev. Bamett Grimsley and Ruth U. Grims-
ley, was born April 8rd, 1840, in Calpeper, now Rappahannock county, near
^V'ashingrton. When about twenty years old Jud^e Grimsley enlisted as a pri-
vate in the Rappahannock cavalry, which was first commanded by Captain
Fohn Shackelford Green, and was appointed orderly sergeant soon after the
5ompany went into active service. Was elected first lieutenant upon the re-
>rganization of the company in the spring of 1862, and within a few days
thereafter became captain upon the promotion of Capt. Green, and afterwards
major and lieutenant colonel of the sixth Virginia cavalry, to which the Rap-
pahannock company belonged. He served through the entire war from April,
1861, to the surrender at Appomattox. Major Grimsley, although he had
several horses shot under him, was never wounded, sick, or on furlough for
more than a day or two at a time, and was in command of his regiment a
greater portion of the time during the latter years of the war. Major Grims-
ley has an accurate memory, which, together with his thorough knowledge of
military affairs, virtually renders him an oracle, and he is always sought out
by those in search of information along these lines.

After the i^jar. Judge Grimsley studied law under a private tutor, Mr. H.
It, Moffett, in Rappahannock, and upon obtaining his license, began the prac-
;ie« of his profession at Culpeper in 1867. He was elected to the State Senate
n 1869, of which body he remained a member until 1879. In 1880 he was ap-
>ointed by Gov. Holliday judge of the sixth judicial circuit to fill a vacancy
iaused by the death of Judge Henry Shackelford. The readjuster party ob-
aining control of the State in 1872, he was defeated in the election for that
>ffice. In 1885 he was elected to the House of Delegates to represent Culpeper
jounty, and in 1886 he was elected judge of the sixth judicial circuit, which
position he still occupies.

In 1866, Judge Grimsley married Bettie N., daughter of William L. Brown-
ng, and has six living children, who are : Margaret, married George Drewey,
iTir^nia, Thomas Edwin, married Mary Edelin, Mary B., married John Strode
Barbour, Fanny G., and Elizabeth Bamett. Their younger child, Ethel, died
% few years since of typhoid fever. — R. T. G.]

Brandy Station was the great battle ground between the cavalry of the
irmles of Northern Virginia, and of the Potomac, during the war between the
States. It was the scene of quite a half dozen pitched battles, in which thou-
sands of horsemen met in the rude shock of conflict.

97

98

Brandy Station was directly on the line of advance and retreat of the
armies, between Washington and Richmond. A station on the Soathem rail-
way (then the Orange and Alexandria), which either army, occupying Culpeper,
used for the purpose of supply. It was a point from which the road south
diverged eastward to Fredericksburg, to the Wilderness and the lower Rapidan,
and westward to Madison and Orange; going north, they diverged westward
towards Warrenton and upper Fauquier, and eastward towards Kelly villa and
fhe lower Potomac. So it was an objective point in the movements of either
army, in either direction. The country around about the Station was admira-
bly adapted to cavalry movements. It was a broad, open, undulating plaiu,
without forest or other serious obstruction to the movements of lai^e bodies
of troops, but sufficiently rolling to furnish select positions for the use of artil-
lery.

In the early part of the war the country was well fenced, occasionally by
a hedge and ditch, which offered serious obstruction to the movements of
cavalry, and was not unfrequently, both in charge and retreat, the occasion
of serious mishap to the bold cavalier, being especially disastrous in retreat.
However, the fences soon disappeared, and the hedge rows were leveled to the
earth, and it became an ideal locality for cavalry.

It was occupied for a time by Gen. Stuart in the spring of 1862, on the
retreat of the Confederate Army from Manassas, and some little skirmishuig
then took place, between the videttes and pickets along the banks of the
Rappahannock. No serious engagement, however, occurred until the SOth of
August, 1862, when Lee advanced on Pope, then occupying Culpeper, just
previous to the second battle of Manassas.

After the defeat of MeClellan, before Richmond, it will be remembered,
General Lee quietly transferred his army to Orange county, and massed it
behind Clarke's Mountain, from which point he design^ed to hurl his veteran
battalions on the flank and rear of Pope, in 'Julpeper. Lieut-Colonel Hender-
son, of the English Army, who is at present [Jan. 1900.] a staff officer of Lord
Roberts in the South African war, in his life of Jackson, gives the following
beautiful description of the landscape, as seen from Clarke's Mountain, where
Jackson had established a signal station.

**The view from the summit embraced an extended landsQape. The rav-
ages of war had not yet effaced its tranquil beauty, nor had the names of its
l>righi; rivers and thriving villages become household words. It was still
unknown to history; a peaceful and pastoral district, remote from beaten
tracks of trade, and inhabited by a quiet and industrious people. Today,
few regions can boast of sterner or more heroic memories. To the right, roll-
ing away in light and shadow, for a score of miles, is the great forest of Spots-
sylvania, within whose gloomy depths lie the fields of Chaneellorsville, where
the breastworks of the Wilderness can still be traced, and on the eastern
verge of which stand the grass grown batteries of Fredericksburg. North-
ward, and beyond the woods which hide the Rapidan, the eye ranges over the
wide and fertile plains of Culpeper, with the green crest of Slaughter's Moun-
tain overlooking Cedar Run, and the dim levels of Brandy Station, the scene
of the great cavalry battle, just visible beyond. Far away to the northeast,
the faint outline of a range of hills marks the source of Bull Run and the
Manassas plateau, and to the west, the long ramparts of the Blue Ridge,

softened by the distance, stand high above the Virginia plains.'*'

This movement was designed to be begun on the 18th day of August, hnt
by reason of the delay of the cavalry, in reaching Orange from the Peninsrila,
it was not begun until about 3 o'clock on the morning of the 20th. General
Pope, having in the meantime, learned of Lee's meditat-ed attack, began his

99
retreat on the morning of the 19th, and had reached the south bank of the
Rappahannock before Gen. Lee left Orangre. The Confederate Army crossed
the Rapidan at Raccoon and Morton's Fords, and moved towards the towns
of Culpeper and Brandy Station, preceded by Robertson's brigade of cavalry,
consisting of the second, sixth, seventh, eleventh and twelfth Virginia Regi-
ments, White's battalion, and Fitz Lee's brigade, consisting at that time of
the Ist. Maryland, 3rd, 4th and 5th regiments. Gen. Fitz Lee took the road by
Madden's towards Kellysville, and Gen. Robertson the road by Stevensburg
to Brandy Station, Gen. Stuart moving in person with Robertson's bri-
gade. Gen. Bayard, of the Federal Army, was directed with his brigade, then
at Brandy Station, and consisting of the Ist. Pa., 1st. N. Y., 1st. R. I., 1st.
Mass., and 2nd. N. Y., to protect the flank and rear of the retreating army in
the direction of Stevensburg. At that time, if the writer remembers rightly,
for some distance out of Brandy Station, on the Stevensburg road, there were
woods on both sides of the road, and on the east side they extended beyond
the point where the Culpeper road now turns off from the Stevensburg road,
and in those woods, the Federal cavalry, their rearguard having been driven
back from Stevensburg, made their first determined stand against the advance
of the Confederate cavalry. By dismounting a portion of his force, armed
with carbines, and judiciously posted in these woods. Gen Bayard was en-
abled to hold in check the advance of the Confederates for some time. After
the contest here had been waged for quite a while. Gen. Robertson moved
some portion of liis command, around by the Wise house in the direction of
the Barbour hill, and thus turning the flank and reaching for the rear of the
Federal commander, forced him from his position in the woods in front of
Brandy. Falling back from this position, he made a stand on Fleetwood
Heights in solid columns of squadron , with mounted skirmishers in front and
flp..nk. The Confederates moved up rapidly, and attacked the Federals in this
new position with great dash and spirit. Gen. Stuart, in his report of this
engagement at this point, says : " Robertson's regiments were hurled in
rapid succession, in columns of four, upon the main body of the enemy's cav-
alry, and before the clash of the sabres they took fright and fled, taking re-
fuge close to the river, under protection of their batteries on the other side."
He always paid a high compliment to this command, which, he says : "had
been brought to the stability of veterans by the discipline, organization and
drill of the brigade commander." Gen. Bayard, in his report, says: "that
the sudden charge and yells of the enemy seemed to strike terror to his men,
and they soon began running;" that they were rallied, however, and retreated
quietly to the Rappahannock Fitz Lee, on this same occasion, had a spirited
engagement with the Federal cavalry on the road from Madden's to Kelley's
Ford.

Fleetwood Heights is a beautiful location. Being an elevated ridge, which
extends eastward at right angles to the elevation extending south from Wel-
ford's, and jutting out into the plains, it commands the country and roads
leading north and south from Brandy Station. On this occasion it received
its baptism of fire, and thereafter, there was no movement of troops across
the borders of Culpeper that artillery did not blaze from its summits, and
charging squadrons, on its slopes and around its base, did not contend for
supremacy.

The day after this engagement the cavalry, followed by the whole army,

moved westward along the south banks of the Rappahannock into the Little
Fork and finally swinging around through Thoroughfare Gap, debouched on
the plains of Manassas, to win, for a second time, a victory on the same field.
The writer has a most pleasant recollection of the kindness on this occasion of

100

one of the most worthy and respected citizens of 'the town of Culpeper. He
(the writer) was on picket duty the night before, at Rapidan Station, with a
squadron of cavalry, and was ordered to join his regiment the next day at
Brandy. This put his line of march through the town of Culpeper, and he en-
tered it on the heels of the retreating enemy. When he had arrived
on Main street, at a point opposite the store of Dr. Gorreli, he lound
that that gentleman, in anticipation of the coming of the Confederates, had
prepared a huge tub of lemonade to refresh the tired soldiers. Just think
of it I Ice cold lemonade, with plenty of lemon in it to make it sour, and
plenty of sugar to make it sweet, and ice to make it cold, to a tired, weary,
dirty, dusty Confederate soldier, on a hot day in August. I think of it now,
and, although it is winter time, I thirst for that lemonade to-day, and wonld
enjoy so much a draught of it from a clean, shining tin cup. We thank him
for it still. May he live long and prosper.

KELLEYVILLE.

Perhaps we might have heretofore referred to the first incursions of Fed-
eral troops in the county and village of Culpeper on the morning of the 5th of
May, 1882. Major D. Porter Stowell, commanding the 1st Mass. Cavalry,
crossed the Rappahannock river at Beverly's Ford on the night of the 4tb,
and after refreshing men and animals on the farm and at the house of
Mr. Richard Cunningham, came on to the village the following morning. It
seems to have been the irony of fate, that the soil of Culpeper should have
been first invaded by the sons of New England. Nearly a hundred years pre-
vious, when Massachusetts was threatened with invasion and oppression from
the mother country, among the first to take up arms in defense of her canse,
as well as the common cause of the colonies, were the gallant * 'Minute Men"
of Culpeper. Now, the first to appear, as armed invaders of her soil, were the
sons of those, with whom they had stood shoulder to shoulder a hundred yean
before, and this in the sacred names of union, liberty and fieedoni. Well may
we say with Madame Roland : "Oh liberty! What crimes have been committed
in thy name."

The officer in command of the expedition says he found on the farm of Mr.
Cunningham abundant forage for his horses, and that the overseer, a Mr.
Wiltshire, was very kind to him, furnishing forage and opening the mansion
house for occupancy by his command. He speaks of it as an elegant old mao'
sion, handsomely furnished, and says that he and his soldiers enjoyed their
repose on sofas, couches, beds, lounges and on the parlor floors. He was evi-
dently a gentleman, and understood , even in war, the laws of property rights,
for he says, notwithstanding it had been the headquarters of the Confederate
generals, and the absence of the owner, yet nothing in the house, or about the ^
premises, was taken or injured by his men. Leaving Cunningham^ he fol- i
lowed the ridge road, passing the brick house ot Dr. Huntington (Dr. Dan'L
Green's), and came out by the Barbour house to Brandy Station. He gives, in
his report, a very interesting account of his trip, of the route pursued, of the
beauty and fertility of the country, and the temper of the people with whom
he met. He speaks of the country as lovelj- in its appearance, well cultivated,
and filled with supplies of all sorts, for man and beast. That most of the
farmers had left their homes in.charge of their overseers, but that their farm-
ing work was going on as usual.

At this time there were no Confederate troops north of Gordonsville, save
two companies of cavalry of the 2rid. Va. Reg., encamped on the Greenwood es-
tate, an<i engaged in picketing the roads north of Culpeper. The officer report-
ed that he encountered the (.onfedorate pickets some three miles north of Col-

101
peper, who retired upon his approach, and that he sent forward an advance
squadron, which pursued them rapidly into the village. He further says, that
just before he reached town, he met a young man, by the name of "Bedsham,"
who said "he lived five or six miles north of the village; that he was in town
when the news of their approach was received, and that it produced great
fright and consternation among the citizens as well as the soldiers encamped
near. That he was a good Union man, and that when the Confederates passed
through, they wanted him and his father to go with them, but they would not
do it, and that their horses were much better than the Confederates." This
must have been Beverlv Beckham. Was he not **soft soldering" the com-
manding officer, and did he not take it in beautifully ? They remained but a
short time in the village, and took back with them, as they reported, eight
prisoners. Thomas Lewis, of the Piedmont Hotel, Col. Ned Freeman, Judge
Henry Shackelford, and David P. Stallard, were four of them. Who were the
others ? Were they citizens or soldiers ? Do any of our people remember ?
Upon the approach of the Confederate cavalry, a few shots were exchanged,
and the Federals retired.

A few days thereafter, the writer, who was at that time captain of Co. B

(Rappahannock Cavalry,) 6th Reg., was sent from the valley, with his com

pany, to reinforce the cavalry, stationed near Culpeper. He also encamped on
the Greenwood estate, and picketed the road leading north of Culpeper. We
remained in this neighborhood until the morning of the 2l8t of May, when
orders were received to join Jackson in the valley, in his advance on Banks at
Winchester. As we moved through the town of Culpeper on that morning,
we halted for a short while in the streets, and the men dismounted. Mr. John
Turner, a highly intelligent old gentleman, a former resident of Rappahan-
nock, but then residing in Culpeper, came to the command, mingled freely with
the boys, and greeted them all warmly, for he either knew them personally,
or knew their fathers. When the command to m:>iint was given he said good
bye to many, and took his position on the side walk, and as we moved off, we
left him standing there gazing, tenderly and earnestly, at the column as it
QiQved along, with the tears rolling down his furrowed cheeks. He was
a very quiet, passive, undemonstrative man, and the writer was deeply im-
pressed with the feeling and emotion which he exhibited on that occasion.
All of Culpeper might have joined the old man in his feelings on that occa-
sion, and could they have lifted the veil of the future, and seen but a few days
in advance, they would have unquestionably done so, for there marched in
the ranks of that company, three of Culpeper's noblest younir men, who, a few
days thereafter, laid down their lives for their country, and for their country's
cause. We refer to Sergeant Frank Duncan, William Field and Phillip Field,
sons of Judge Richard H. Field. The first was a soldier of a year's experience,
a model one submissive and obedient to orders himself, he exacted obedience
of others. He was bold and fearless in danger, and was actuated, at all times,
by a high sense of duty to his country. The last two had but recently joined
the cavalry service. At the outbreak of the war they were students at the
University of Virginia, but they laid aside their books, and joined the *'Cul-
peper Minute Men," 3rd. Va. infantry, in which they served till discharged in
the spring of 1862. The elder, William, was a young man of some twenty-two
or twenty-three years of age, tall and well developed, with a bright and
cheery disposition, and altogether, one of the handsomest young men we
ever knew. The younger, Philip, was a tall, slender boy of some eighteen
years, with a face as delicate, as gentle, and as refined as a woman's, but with
a shade of sadness which but added to the attractiveness of his expression.

103

Two days thereafter, Duncan and Philip Field were killed, and a few days
following, William was also slain on tl^e battlefield. I'heir bodies were sent to
their homes, and buried in the family burying ground, where they sleep with
their ancestors of many generations. There names are worthy to be remem-
bered and cherished by the people of Culpeper among their heroic dead. The
death of his two promising sons broke the heart ot the father. Judge Field,
who soon sank into a premature grave.

The Confederate army went into quarters for the winter of 1862-3 on the
south side of the Rappahannock river, from the Wilderness to Port Royal,
with the cavalry brigade of Fitz Lee on its left, in Orange and Culpeper coun-
ties, guarding the Rappahannock. The Federal army occupied the counties
of King George, Stafford, and lower Fauquier on the north bank of the Rappa-
hannock, with its cavalry on its right. In the early spring of 1863, Gen. Stone-
man, then in command of the cavalry corps of the Federal army, ordered Gen.
Averill, of the 2nd. cavalry division, 'to take a force of about three thousand,
with six pieces of artillery, across the Rappahannock river at or near Kelley-
ville, and to rout and destroy the Confederate cavalry brigade of Fitz Lee,
then occupying Oulpeper, and encamped in the neighbood of Brandy Station
and Stevensburg. Gen. Lee's brigade at that time consisted of the 1st., 2nd..
3rd., 4th. and 5th. Va. regiments, and one battery of horse artillery, com-
manded by one of the most gallant and promising artillery officers in the
service. Major John Pelham, of Alabama. Lee's brigade numbered perhaps
1200 in all. AverilPs command was about 2100, after making details for scouts,
pickets and couriers. It seems from the records that Gen. R. E. Lee first
learned of this reconnoisance by the Federal cavalry, and as early as 11 A. M.
on the 16th, notified Fitz Lee of the movement. But it was unknown what
point the enemy would select for crossing the river. Early on the morning of
the 17th, the Federal cavalry appeared at Kelley's Ford, at which point the
Confederates had a strong picket force, commanded by Captain White, and
by its resistance, and the obstruction which had previously been placed about
the ford, the crossing of the Federals was delayed for an hour or more After
a spirited picket fight at the river, resulting in some loss on both sides, the
Federals effected a crossing, and, so soon as their purpose to cross at that
I)oint, with their entire force, was made apparent, Lee hurried his whole com-
mand in that direction, and at once the battle was joined with great spirit,
dash and courage on both sides. The Federals first took a position half a
mile or more south of the ford, and south of the point where the Stevens-
burg road turns to the left. The 4th., 3rd. and 16th. Penn., the 1st. and 5th.
U. S., the 4th. N. J., and 2nd. Ohio constituted the line of battle, with Bak-
er's brigade in reserve near the mill. The position of the Federals was a strong
one, protected by woods and and a stone fence in front. It was, however,
repeatedly charged by the Southern cavalry, the 3rd. Virginia leading in
the advance, but they were unable to dislodge the Federals from the position
which they occupied. After repeated efforts in this direction, the Confeder-
ates slowly retired to a position a mile or two in the rear, where the battle
raged with great fury. *'From the time the battle was first joined," says Fitz
Lee, in his report, "it was a series of gallant charges by the different regimants,
and once by the whole brigade in line. My men, some times unable to cross
the fences or ditches in their front, behind which the Federals were protected,
wheeled about, delivering their fire in the very faces of the enemy,and reformed
again under a heavy fire from their artillery and small arms." Lieut. Holtz-

man, of Co. D., 4th. Virginia cavalry, who kept a diary of all the movements
of his command, tells me that he has it recorded, that on more than one occa-
sion, when the charging squadrons of Confederate cavalry would encounter

103
fended, tbey ^ould deliberately halt, dismount, and, under fire of the Federal
batterries with ^rape and cannister, as well as small arms, pull aside the
fences at the corners, to enable them to pass through. The battle continued
until late in the evening, when the Federals, unable to accomplish the pur-
pose, for which they had crossed the river, retired. The Confederates were
perfectly willing that they should go, and were unable to inflict any serious
loss upon them in their retreat.

Considering the superiority in numbers, the result was a splendid achieve-
ment for the Confederates, and became the subject of congratulatory orders
on the part of Gen. Lee to his brigade. But it was not without serious loss in
both men and animals; about 170 horses were killed, and an equal number of
men killed and wounded. A peculiarity of the wounds in this engagement,
Mras that they were nearly all made with the saber, showing that the battle
Btras fought at close quarters, and with great obstinacy. The Culpeper com-
pany, (Capt. Hill) of the 4th. regiment, was in the thickest of the fight, from
morning till the enemy retired. The Confederate loss was' much greater than
that of the Federals, especially in officers, among the latter were the gallant
Maj. Puller, of the 5th. cavalry, and Lieut. Harris, of the 4th., and the splendid
and much beloved Pelham, of the Horse Artillery. The record of this latter
officer had been bright and spotless, and he had endeared himself to the whole
army. He was a modest, gentle, unassuming boy, scarcely twenty-one years
old, and yet he had the coolness of a veteran on the field, and gave great prom-
ise of future achievements; a genius for war that was brilliant and attractive.
He was struck on the head with a fragment of a shell, and his skull crushed,
but before life was extinct, he was brought to the house of Judge Shackleford,
in the town of Culpeper, where he expired amidst weeping friends and com-
rades. His death cast a gloom over the entire corps, and the usual badge of
military mourning was worn for him for thirty days.'

Again on April 30th., Brandy Station and Culpeper were the scenes of
another cavalry engagement, though not of as much consequence as some
others. Just preceding the movement of the Union army for Chancellors-
viJle, Stoneman, with his cavalrv corps, crossed the river at Kellyville, for a raid
on the Central Elailroad, about Louisa C. H., the James river, Kanawha
Clanal, and other points in rear of the Confederate army. After crossing the
ivei*, Averill, with his division, was sent in the direction of Brandy Station
md Culpeper, with instructions to destroy the cavalry force that he might
tncounter, while Stoneman, with the residue of his command, moved lower
low^D, and crossing the river at Raccoon Ford, proceeded towards Louisa C. H.
l.verill encountered William H. F. Lee about Brandy Station, and they had
onie pretty lively skirmishing between that point and the Rapidan, towards
v'hich Gen Lee slowly retreated, keeping Averill well in check. Averill had
ionsuiued so much time in pressing back William H. F. Lee's command, that
ie "was unable to join the raid, and, from Rapidan, was recalled to the army at
Sly'B Ford, and, soon thereafter, removed from his command, because of his
'allure to break up and destroy William H. F. Lee.

LEE'S CAVALRY REVIEW.

But it was on the 8th. of June, 1863, that a most interesting cavalry dis-
filay took place near Brandy Station. It was interesting, attractive and bril-
iant, to be followed, however, on the next day, by one more attractive and
nspiriag, ana which occupied a much more prominent place in the history of
the times. We refer to the great cavalry review of the 8th. of June, 1863, when
Stuart's whole command passed in review before the commanding general,
Kobert E. Lee.

104

The army, at this time, was on the move for Gettysburg. Some portions
of Longstreet's corps was about Culpeper C. H. Stuart^s cavalry was, at this
time, perhaps, more efficient in number, drill, discipline, and equipment, than
at any other period of the war. He had called together his whole command,
save, perhaps, the brigade of Jenkins, then in the valley of Virginia. The corps
consisted of Fitz Lee's brigade of five regiments, Hampton's brigade of six
regiments, William H. F. I^e's brigade of five regiments, William D. Jones'
brigade of four regiments, and Robertson's brigade of two regiments; twenty-
two in all, aggregating, perhaps, 8000 men.

The review took place on what is known as the "Auburn" estate. A fur-
row was made with a plow, beginning at a point not far from the dividing line
between the "Auburn" estate and the Hall estate, and about three hundred
yards west of the railroad, on the land now owned by Mr. Schlosser, and ex-
tending, in a line i)arallel with the railroad, along by the broadspreading elm
tree that stood in the flat in roar of the grave yard, on the Ross estate, quit*
to the run. Along this long straight furrow the twenty two regiments of cav-
alry were formed in two ranks, facing the railroad, extending nearly or quite its
whole length. The horse artillery, of four batteries (sixteen guns). Captains
Breathit, Chew, McGregor and Moorman, the whole commanded by Major
Beckham, was formed in batteries along the ridge in the rear of, and on the
west side of the branch. It was a splendid military parade; Stuart's eyes
gleamed with peculiar brightness as he glanced along this line of cavalry in
battle array, with men and horses groomed at their best, and the command
arrayed with military precision, with colors flying, bugles sounding, bands
playing, and with regimental and brigade officers in proper positions. Gen.
Lee occupied a little hillock, immediately on the west side of the railroad,
and some three or four hundred yards north of the station at Inlet. The review
brought together a large number of citizens, ladies and gentlemen, young and
old, from Culpeper, and the adjoining counties; many were the sly glances cast
by the soldier boys at the country lassies, as they passed along their front in
the columns of review. An engine brought down a train of flat cars from Cul-
peper, filled with soldiers and civilians, to witness the review. Q-en Lee, with
his staff, first rode rapidly along the front of the line, around the left flank,
then along the rear, around the right flank to his position uu the hill in the
front. At the sound of the bugle, taken up and repeated along the line, the
corps of horsemen broke by right wheel into columns of squadron, and moving
south for a short distance, the head of the column was turned to the left, and
again to the left, moving in this new direction, whence it passed immediately
in front of the commanding general. It was a splendid military pageant, and
an inspiring scene, such as this continent never before witnessed, as this lonj?
line of horsemen, in columns of squadron, with nearly ten thousand sabres
flashing in the sun light, with«salvo8 of artillery on the hills beyond, passed in
review before the greatest soldier of modern times Who, that was present,
will ever forget the swelling of the soul, which he experienced, as he passed
the position occupied by the reviewing officers, and knew that the eyes of the
great Robert E. Lee were upon him. The column moved at a walk until it
came within some fifty or one hundred paces of the position occupied by the
reviewing general, when squadron by squadron would take up first the trot,
then the gallop, until they had passed some distance beyond, when again they
would pull down to the walk. After passing in review, the several brigades
were brought again to the i)08ition which they occupied in the line, whence
they were dismissed, one by one, to their respective camps, to be rudely
awakened early the next morning by the Federal cavalry, who crossed the
Rappahannock, determined, for the tirst time, to measure swords with the
Southerners, beyond the i)rotection of their infantry.

105
BRANDY STATION, JUNE 9, 18C3.

After the great review, Hampton's brigade went into camp on the south
of Brandy Station, picketing the lower ford of the Rappahannock, Robertson's
N. C. brigade to the right of the station, Jones' brigade near St. James'
church, picketing the river from Rappahannock bridge to the confluence of
the Hazel and 'Rappahannock rivers, while Wm. H. F. Lee's and Fitz Lee's
brigades were thrown further forward, in the neighborhood of Oak Shade,
guarding the river to Waterloo, and scouting the country beyond, to protect
the flank of the Confederate army, en route to Gettysburg, by way of Gourd-
vine, Gaines X Cross, Winchester, and so on.

This was, substantially, the position of the Southern cavalry when the
Federals, under Gen. Pleasanton, crossed the river on the morning of the 9th
of June, to drive back the Southerners, and ascertain the object and purpose
of the movement of the army under Lee. The Federal cavalry crossed the
river in two columns, one at Beverly's Ford, consisting of the 1st division, and
Merritt's brigade of regular cavalry, and a brigade of infantry under the com-
mand of Gen. Ames, the whole under the command of Gen. Buford. This
column numbered 3,918 cavalry, 1,500 infantry and two batteries of U. S. artil-
lery (eight guns). The other column crossed the river at Kelleyville, and con-
sisted of the 2nd and 8rd divisions of cavalry (3,973 strong), and 1,500 infantry
under Gen. Russell, and a battery of six guns, the whole under the command
of Gen. Gregg. Beverly's Ford was immediately in front of Jones' camp, Co.
A. (Oapt. Gibson), being the picket guard at that point, and Co. B. (Capt.
Grimsley), of the 6th Va. cavalry, at the railroad bridge. The Federals charged
the ford at Beverly's about day-break, driving the picket guard before them,
and pressed with great vigor their advance along the road towards the church.
Ho^wever, their progress was resisted with equal pluck, courage, and tenacity,
by the reserve picket force, and their advance delayed until some portion of
Jones' command could be gotten in position for battle. When the alarm was
given of the advance of the Federals, the horses of the cavalry, and of the
horse artillery, were grazing in the fields near the church, and at' one time
they were in great danger of being captured. The 6th and 7th regiments were
the first to secure their horses, and move to the relief of the reserve picket.
They were hurried forward, the one on the right, and the other on the left of
the road leading from the church to the river, and along which the Federals
were advancing, to assist in holding the attacking party's columns in check.
As these two regiments rushed forward, they met the enemy's columns in the
woods, beyond the church, and a hand to hand conflict ensued. The advance
brigade of the Federals, consisting of the 8th N. Y., 8th III., and 3rd Ind. regi-
ments, were held in check by the charge of the Virginia regiments, and its
commander, Col. Davis, of the 8th N. Y., killed in an heroic effort to hold his
command ready to resist the onset of the Confederates. Maj. Beckham, of the
horse artillery, a Culpeper boy, a gallant soldier and a brilliant officer, had, in
the mean time, succeeded in having his horses harnessed and hitched, and one
or more pieces in position on the elevated knoll near the church. But before
this, while some of his men were securing the horses, the others were serving
the guns with all the efficacy that an unfavorable position could attain. The
remaining regiments of Jones' brigade, the 11th and 12th, and also Hampton's
brigade, were soon mounted, and ready for action, the latter joining on to the
right of Jones and Wm. H.F. Lee, coming in on their left, near to and in front
of the Thompson and Dr. Green houses. The Federals put their infantry in
X>osition, in the woods, on both sides of the road to the river, with
their cavalry extending to the right and left, opposite the positions occupied

106

by Hampton and Lee. The battle was fought here for some hours with great
fury. The dismounted men on the Confederate side engaging the infantry
on the Union side, and charge and counter charge was made, time and again,
along the whole line, with mounted and dismounted men. The line of battle
swayed back and forth from the woods, in front, towards the church, now
advancing, now receding. The Federals occupied the large body of woods,
from which the Confederates were unable to drive them, and from which they
were unable to advance. In the meantime, the column that had crossed at
KelJeyville first pressed up in the direction of Brandy by the route leading
by Elkwood, and Robertson, with his N. C. brigade, was sent down on that
road to arrest its progress. This body of the Federals engaged Robertson in
a sharp skirmish for a time, but, so soon as the route to Brandy, by the Thorn
place, was uncovered, the Federal commander eluded Robertson, and moving
by his left flank, pressed on rapidly in the direction of Brandy. The second
division of cavalry was first across the river at Kelleyville, and, so soon as the
route was opened, pressed on to Stevensburg, via Carrico's mill. A squad-
ron of this division, which had been hurried forward in the direction of Ste-
vensburfiT, reached that i)oint in advance of the Confederate troops sent by
Gren. Stuart.

Gen. Stuart, having learned early in the morning, through Gen. Robert-
son, as well as by information given by the captain of the picket guard at
Rappahannock, that some portion of the forces that had crossed at Kelleyville,
was moving in the direction of Stevensburg, detached the 3nd S. C. regiment,
under Col. Butler, to that point, with instructions to picket the roads from
Brandy to Carrico's mill, and to Stevensburg. Later in the day, he sent the
4th Va. regiment, under Col. Wickham, to that point to support Col. Butler.
A section of artillery was also sent with this regiment. The 4th regiment,
after crossing Mountain Run, moved across the field to the left of the village,
and joined a portion of the S. C. regiment, under Lt. Col. Hampton, at or near
the Doggett house, beyond Stevensburg. By the time a line of skirmishers
deployed, extending round toward the Hansbrough house, the Federals were
in their front in force, and rapidly hurled the advance regiments (the Ist
Mass., 1st R. I., and 6th O.) on Butler and Wickham, and drove them back in
great confusion. The Union cavalry followed up their advantage, charging
into and beyond the village, to the Barbour house, in pursuit of the fugitives.
The gallant Col. Hampton, son of Gen. Hampton, was mortally wounded in
the fights near the village, and quite a number of others wounded or taken
prisoners. After awhile, Cols. Wickham and Butler succeeded in rallying the
most of their commands, and reformed on the north side of Mountain Run, on
the Beckham farm. The section of artillery was put in position, and the
Federals moved down towards the mill, on both sides of the Brandy road.
The Federals also put their artillery in position, and a lively artillery duel
was in progress, when the Federals were ordered to retire from Stevensburg
by the same route that they advanced by, and join the main body at Brandy.
Why this was done must ever remain a mystery. Why this column, when
within three miles of Brandy, and almost immediately in rear of the Confed-
erate position should have been withdrawn by a route twice as long, consum-
ing twice the time, must ever remain a riddle in military affairs; but so it was.
We doubt not but that the life of the Confederacy was greatly prolonged by
the njistakes of its enemies. Gen. Butler lost his leg in this artillery fight at
Norman's Mill, and Capt. Farley, of South Carolinia, a volunteer on General
Stuart's staff, lost his life by the same shell that to6k off Gen. Butler's leg.
Capt Farley was a noble, gallant, chivalrous man. His body was buried in

107
the Citizens' Cemetery at Culpeper, and his relatives and friends, of South
Carolina, have recently erected a suitabe shaft to mark the spot and commem-
orate his memory.

It was now, perhaps, mid-day. The 3rd. division of cavalry had, by this
:iiiie, driven in the pickets on the Carrico road leading from Brandy, and was
rapidly approaching the station. Col. Percy Wyndham, a gallant, dashing
Englishman, who was making war for the love of it, and who, but a little time
before, had been captured by Ashby's command, and exchanged, was in com-
[nand of the advance brigade, consisting of the 1st. Maryland, 1st. N. Y., Ist.
Penn., dashed into the station, and dispersed a small Confederate force that
ivas found there. He made some captures of w^agons and ambulances, and
then turned his command towards Fleetwood Heights, which had been Gen.
Stuart's headquarters; but all his papers, and everything else pertaining to
lis quarters, had been removed, save a single tent. A piece of artillery was
stationed there, and some few orderlies, loungers and camp followers were
ileo lingering about the hill. Gen. Kilpatrick, commanding the second bri-
gade, consisting of the Harris Light Horse, the 10th. N. Y., and Ist. Maine,
turned to the right, before reaching the station, and moved diagonally across
he fields towards Fleetw^ood, to the assistance of Col. Wyndham, who, hav-
n.^ moved down the road from Brandy, had charged the heights and taken
hem. Kilpatrick had hurried up his artillery, and put It in position, on the east
>f tlie railroad, so as to command Fleetwood hill. Col. Wyadhanf s victory was
hort lived; he had hardly gained posj^ession of the hill, before he was met by
Hampton, at the head of the Cobbs Legion, 1st. S. C, and 6th Va., which had
>een hurriedly withdrawn from the field at St. James church, upon the appear-
ince of the Federals at Brandy. Gen. Stuart also accompanied this column,
md as it approached Fleetwood, seeing the hill in possession of the enemy, he
3ut the command at a gallop, and when it was in striking distance, called out,
in that clear ringing voice that could be heard above the uproar of battle,
''give them the sabre, boys.*' Then nearly a thousand sabres leaped from
their scabbards, and with one wild shout, the Confederates rushed in furious
onset against the Federal cavalry occupying the hill, and hurled it back in
confusion and disorder. But Kilpatrick came, with his squadrons, to the re-
lief of Wyndham, and succeeded in regaining a portion of the elevated ground
on the west of the railroad, but the Jeff Davis Legion and 1st. N. (^. was by
this time on the ground, and placed on the east of the railroad, while the
11th. and 12th. Va. regiments, and White's battery, a^so withdrawn from St.
James, in a gallant charge across the hill, drove back the Federals, who were
struggling to regain it after their first reverse. The numbers at this point,
were now about the same, some six or seven regiments on either side, but we
presume the Federal regiments were numerically stronger than the Confed-
erates; and then, for an hour or more, there was a fierce struggle for the hill,
which seemed to have been regarded as the key to the situation. This point
was taken, and retaken once, and perhaps several times; each side would be in
possession for a time, and plant its batteries there, when by a successful charge
it would pass into the possession of the other side, and so it continued until
victory finally dwelt with the Confederates, and the Federals seem to realize
their inability to hold it. They slowly and sullenly retired, leaving stiveral
guns in the possession of the Confederates, with a number of prisoners, and
their dead and wounded in the hands of their enemy.

The second and third divisions of Union cavalry that were in front of
Brandy, after their defeat on Fleetwood hill, swung round to their right, and
moving just in front of the Stringfellow house, joined on to Buford, who as
soon as the pressure from his front was relieved, advanced cautiously in the

108

direction of Brandy Station. The Confederates re-arranged«their line of battle,
after getting rid of Gregg at Fleetwood. It will be remembered, in that
struggle, the Confederates were facing south and the Federals north. As
Gregg swung around to Buf ord, the direction of hi* line was changed, facing
south, and the Confederates luade the corresponding change. Hampton's bri-
gade was placed on the right of the railroad, looking north, supported by
Robertson's brigade. The greater portion of the Confederate artillery was
placed on Fleetwood Heights, supported by Jones' brigade, whilst a strong
line of dismounted men and infantry skirmishers from the 18th. Va. regiment^
were thrown forward a little in advance of the crown of the hill, extending
westward nearly to the road leading to Dr. Welford's. The fighting in the
evening was principally between the artillery and dismounted men and infan-
try in the woods, which, according to our recollection, at that time extended
from the Brandy road nearly to the summit of the ridge. Late in the even-
ing the Federal cavalry made a last effort to break and force back the Con-
federate lines. This occurred on the extreme left of the Confederate line, on the
summit of the hill near the road to Dr. Welford's. A column of cavalry pressed
on up the road referred to and at this point made a gallant and dashing charge
on the 9th. and 10th. Va. regiments of Wm. H. F. Lee's brigade, supported
by one of Jones' regiments. This charge was met with great spirit and cour-
age, and the result wavered long in the balance. Gen. R. E. Lee looked on
this struggle f ron the cupalo of the Barbour house, and is said 1o have ex-
pressed great admiration of the grit and courage manifested by the soldiers on
both sides. Finally, the Federals gave away, and victory once more favored
the Confederates. In this charge, apparently by consent, both sides used the
pistol and the lines approached within a few feet, and the men emptied their
l^istols in each others' faces. To those of us who were not actually engaged,
but who witnessed the combat at a distance, and heard the f usilade of pistols,
it seemed impossibe almost, that any should have escaped injury, and that
the loss of life could be so small, but after it was all over, and results inquired
into, and the dead and wounded looked after, it was found that little damage
had been done. Never after this, if it could be avoided, did the Confederate
oiBcers allow a charge to be made or resisted with the pistol, but always order-
ed the sabre to be used as much more effective. After this attack on the left,
the Federals slowly retreated and and recrossed the river that evening at
Beverley's, and at the railroad bridge.

Gen. Wm. H. F. Lee was seriously wounded early in the action, and the
command of his brigade devolved on Col. Davis, of the 10th regiment. Neith-
er Fitz Lee's or Robertson's brigades participated very actively in the fight.
The former was withdrawn from the Little Fork section, and the 3nd. regi-
ment was slightly engaged on the left, while the 4th. had been detached and
sent to Stevensburg. The loss of the Federal sicie was over 900 killed, wound-
ed and missing; on the Confederate side 485. The Confederates captured three
pieces of artillery, more than a hundred horses, and quite a large number of
small arms, such as pistols and carbines etc. And thus ended the first great
cavalry battle of the war. The Confederates pushed on into Fauquier, ou
the right flank of our advancing army, with full confidence in their ability to
meet and vanquish their enemy on anything like equal terms. Upon the
whole, the battle at Brandy Station was a great victory for the Confederates.
It ought to have been won by the Federals. They were greatly superior in
numbers in their cavalry force, besides being strongly supported by infantry.
There was no fault in the plan of battle, as conceived by the Federal com-
mander, and if it had been strictly pursued, it would have resulted in a great

109
victory for him, but there seemed to be a want of promptness, enterprise and
spirit in the movement of the two columns. Buford's force, at St. James'
church, was greatly superior in numbers to the Confederates who opposed
him, and yet he made but little headway against them, consisting of parts of
three brigades. Gregg had outgeneraled Robertson on the Kelley ville road,
eluding him and reaching Brandy in his rear. Stuart played the same trick
on Buford at St. James. For when Gregg appeared at Brandy, Stuart with-
drew the greater part of his force in front of Buford, and hurled it upon Gregg,
and drove him from Fleetwood. If, when Stuart withdrew from Buford's front
at St- James, Buford had pressed immediately on his heels, he would have
caught Stuart at Fleetwood, between him and Gregg, and he, Stuart, would
have been roughly handled. As it was,Buford moved slowly,and allowed Gregg
to be defeated by the same troops that had been holding him at bay. We
presume that Buford found his infantry both a help and a drawback. A help
in enabling him to hold his position in front of St. James, for without it, he
would have been driven back across the the river before &Tegg reached Bran-
dy ; but a drawback to him when he should have followed Hampton rapidly,
as he was unwilling to leave it in his rear unprotected. He moved towards
brandy at the same time his infantry moved, and allowed Gregg to be beaten
before he got there, and Robertson, with his North Carolina troops, who had
been cut oflf on the Kelleyville road, to return by Elkwood, between the con-
verging columns of Buford and Gregg, almost within a stone's throw of each
other. But while the victory was with the Confederates, the moral effect of the
battle was of great value to the Federal cavalry. Up to that point of the war
the Union cavalry had been of but little service. The Federal generals did
not begin to know how to organize or use their cavalry, or to appreciate its
value. The Confederates, on the other hand, had from the very .beginning of
the war, used their cavalry to the greatest advantage. This branch of the
service seemed to suit the genius and spirit of our people, and it was brought
to a state of efficiency with wonderful rapidity. The victories which crowned
the Confederate arms for the first years of the war, were due, in a great meas-
ure, to the skillful manner in which the Confederate generals, Stuart and
Ashby, maneuvered their cavalry, and concealed the movements of the Con-
federate army, thus bringing about a condition which made those great victo-
ries possible.

The Federals had been for some time organizing a select body of men for
cavalry service. By promotion from the infantry, for special merit and other-
wise, and by organization, drill, and discipline, they were bringing that body
up to a high state of efficiency. The Confederates had always held them-
selves as greatly superior to the Federals in this branch of the service, and
this seemed to have been conceded by them. At Brandy, for the first time,
in an open field, with fair fight, with anything like equality of numbers, had
they been able to maintain themselves against the superior dash and horee-
manship of the Southrons. But, when a few days thereafter, they met
again at Aldie, Middleburg, and Upperville, it was apparent to the Confeder-
ates that the Federals had gained in moral, as well as in numbers and disci-
pline.

CULPEPER, FROM AUG. 1st. TO OCT. 1st. 1863.

The Confederate army returned sullenly and slowly from the disastrous
campaign of Gettysburg to its old encampments in Culpeper; beaten and
bleeding at every pore, but not dispirited, and with its confidence in its im-
mortal leader still unshaken. Now and then, in its slow retreat, it would turn

110

on its antagonist, like an animaJ driven to bay, and exhibit a spirit and wil-
lingness to suffer annihilation, rather than acknowledge defeat.

About the last of July, 1863, Longstreet^s corps was encamped in the rear
ot Mt. Pony hills, about the village of Culpeper. Ewell, who had made a
detour further south in his retreat from the valley, crossing the mountains at
Milan^s Gap, was encamped in Madison and Orange counties. Jones^ brigade
of cavalry was in the neighborhood of Rixeyville, Hampton^s about Brandy
Station, Wm. H. P. Lee^s toward Rappahannock, while Fitz Lee's was on the
right, in the vicinity of Fredericksburg. On the second of August the Federal
commander. General Meade, then occupying the north bank of the Rappa-
hannock river, directed General Buford, commanding the 1st. division of cav-
alry, to make a reconnoissance to the town of Culpeper, and ascertain, if possi-
ble, the location of the Confederate army. He accordingly crossed the river at
Beverly's Ford, and at the railroad bridge encountered Hampton's brigade, re-
inforced in a short time by a portion of Jones', and they joined battle on the
same ground over which they had fought on the ninth of June. The Federals
were greatly superior in numbers to Hampton, haying a division to a brigade,
and gradually pressed him back to about where Inlet Station now is. The
greater portion of Jones' brigade was on the Rixeyville road and had not, to
this time, been much engaged; but leaving this road at Chestnut Fork, it
moved across the Rixey and the Bradford farms, and was joined on to
Hampton's left in this position, just in advance of the Bell farm. At this
point, a division of infantry from Hill's corps also came on the field and the
Federals begun to retire. General Stuart was present, and personally
conducted the movements of his troops, and when he saw the enemy was
in retreat, he pressed him with great vigor, and sought to convert his retreat
into a route by hurling his squadrons, with great force and impetuosity,
upon his rear, but, however, with no very great success. The Federal general
conducted his retreat with great skill, protecting his rear with a strong line of
mounted skirmishers, which effectually warded off the blows aimed at. his
main column. The area between the Auburn house and the railroad was one
vast corn field, in which the corn was then fully groiyn. This was filled with
the dismounted men of the Federals and held by them with great tenacity,
notwithstanding it was swept by the Confederate artillery, and penetrated by
a strong line of dismounted men. In piassing through this field afterwards, it
did not appear that a single stalk of corn had escaped the destructive missiles.
The Federals had rebuilt the railroad bridge at Rappahannock, where Buford
halted on the south bank, and held a tete de pont on the south side, extending
his right fiank to Welford's Ford on the west, and his left to Kelley ville on
the east, protected bv a line of videttes extending around in this semi-circle
and located about a hundred yards apart. Immediately in front of Fleetwood,
this line of videttes extended across the country from about the Sfcringfellow
house to St. James church.

On the evening of the fourth of August, General Stuart, anxious to ascer
tain what the Federals were doing at Rappahannock, and why it was that
they seemed anxious to hold this small area on the south of the riyer, with
Hampton's brigade, and a portion of some other commands, attacked the
Federals near what is now the station of Elkwood, and drove theu^ back some
distance towards the river so as to uncover the forces on the south side, and
develop the objects of the Federal commander. It was a very sharp hand
to hand fight for a time between Buford and Hampton, and was conducted
with a rush on the part of the Confederates. On the day following (the 5th of
August), a reconnoissance was sent out by General Gregg, commanding the

Ill

flecoud cavalry division, encamped at Waterloo, towards Rixeyville, which
resulted in a sharp skirmish between the 11th Va. regriment, Jones^ command,
and this scouting party, in the vicinity of Rixeyville and Muddy Run. The
Federal column crossed the river at HilFs mill, and then turned to Rixeyville,
and from thence moved towards Muddy Run, sending out scout-
ing parties towards Alum Spring church. Colonel Taylor, of the first
Pennsylvania cavalry, was in command of the scouts, and says in his report,
that finding himself being flanked at the run by the skirmishers of the 11th
Va. cavalry, concluded it was prudent to retire. Again, on the 8th and 9th
of August, the Federals advanced and drove back the Confederate pickets in
front of Brandy, and there was a right smart; skirmish for an hour or two.
The writer recalls an incident, illustrative of the accurate information which
the Confederates had of the Federal movements and he supposes the Federals
had information equally as accurate. The reserve picket force of the Confed-
erates was held at a spring at the foot of Fleetwood hill,
on the road to Elkwood, and the lines of pickets stretch-
ed across the country a short distance in front. Gen. Stuart rode down
to the picket reserves one evening, and addressing the captain of the guard,
said: **Captain, what is going on with those folks over there," pointing to the
Yankee picket line. **Nothing;" replied the captain. "Well," said he, '*look
out, they will be on you in the morning about daylight." True enough, next
morning as the first grey streaks of dawn began to light up the horizon, we
could see a commotion among them and they called out: "Look out Johnnies,
we are coming," and begun to fire and advance.

Scouting parties from the cavalry constantly harassed the right flank of
the Federals, resting in the Little Fork, with their picket line extending from
Eliirs mill back towards Amissville. Captain McDonald, of the 11th cavalry,
crossed the river at Rixey's Ford on the night of the 2nd of September, and
saptured the picket force at Waterford, consisting of an oflBcer and fifteen
men. After the first of September the Federal army remained comparatively
quiet, resting till the 13th of the month, when their whole army moved south
of the Rappahannock and occupied Culpeper. The Federals advanced in
three columns. Buford, with his 1st division, directly towards Brandy; Kil-
patrick, with the third division, crossed at Kelleyville, while Gregg crossed the
Hazel river at Stark's Ford. Buford, who was immediately in front of
Brandy, made a demonstration early in the mornln -?, and then seemed to
turn his columns to the right, as though he ware going on the Rixeyville
road, along which the principal advance would be made. We presume
now it was but to protect Gregg in crossing the fords of the Hazel. At
any rate, it caused the withdrawal of all the Confederate cavalry from
Brandy to the Rixeyville road, excepting two regiments, the 5th and 6th Va.
Two or three hours were consumed in maneuvering, and about 10.30 a. m., Bu-
ford, with the whole of his and Kilpatrick's divisions, appeared on the plains
of Brandy in front of these two regiments, supported by a section of artillery.
In a contest so unequal, there was nothing to do but retreat, and while it was
a rapid one, it was not disorderly. The retreating Confederates kept a strong
line of mounted skirmishers in their rear, and withdrew by regiments, always
keeping one regiment and one gun facing their adversaries. An amusing inci-
dent occurred at Jonas's run, near the railroad crossing. In attempting to get
the guns across at that point, one of them got stuck in the soft muddy banks.
Soldiers were dismounted and required to take hold to extricate the piece ;
among them, was a man by the name of Roe, of the 5th cavalry, a man who
stammered very badly. And as these soldiers were laboring and tugging at

112 ^

the wheels, the^enemy^ pressing on in the rear,- took- in the sitaatidn, and )Don^
centrated their fire upon the poor fellows* at this work, and made it very hot
for them. The bullets were striking all around : zip— zip. Roe stood it for
awhile, but, after a time^ it 'got too hot for him, .and he raised up from his
work, and addressing his eaptain in an earnest pathetic manner said: ^' C-p-p,

Cap, Captain, le-le-let's throw in, and pay for the d d thing, and leave it

here." One more tug at the; wheel brought it safely out to be lost at Culpeper.
The Confederates had considerable commissary and ordnance supplies at the
depot in Culpeper, and a freight train had been sent down from Orange to
remove them, and they were being hurriedly loaded on when the Federals ap-
peared in sight of the village. The presence of the* train, seemed to impress
them with the idea that supports had been sent down from Orange, and they
were slow and cautious, ia entering the village. The Confederates had bat
parts of two regiments,, with two pieces of artillery, while the Federals
had the whole of Buford's division, with a part of • Kilpatrick'a and Warren's
corps of infantry, but a short distance in the rear. Thte Confederates
posted their guns on the hill, bet ween Capt VinaPs and Mr. Chelf's, supported
by two squadrons of mounted men, while the fifth cavalry were dismounted
at Bell's Ford in order to hold that position, and a portion of the «th i
dismounted at the railroad ford. The Federal force moved for-
ward very cautiously, forming their line of battle on-the hill about the George
house, extending round to the. left, in front x)f the Wallaeh house, with twaor
three batteries stationed at intervals along this line. Their batteries were
turned principally upon the town and the train, loading at the depot, with an .
occasional shot at the guns on the hill. At jqo time (during the war, were the
citizens of the village exposed to such an ordeal as they were that Sunday
morning, the 13th of September. The i day had begun calm and tranquil;
early in the morning a single gun was heard in the neighborhood of Brandy,
but as that was not followed up by others, the alarm occasioned by it soon
subsided, and the people had assembled for worship in the Baptist church,
where the Rev. Barnett Grimsley, of Rappahannock, was to preach. The 8e^
vices were begun, but before they were concluded the Federals were in front
of the village, and were sending shells screaming through the town. The con-
gregation was hurriedly dismissed, the minister mountinsr his horse, and tak-
ing his departure. There was considerable damage done to the property and
some casualties among the citizens. Mrs. Stone, the wife of the Rev. Richard
Stone, who had recently returned from Africa, was seriously wounded, and .
perhaps others. After the departure of the train, which escaped without linr
jury, taking off all the stores, the Federals showed a purpose to force an en->
trance into the village, and for this purpose, sent forward a brigade from the •
centre of their lines to charge BelPs Ford and get possession of the crossing.
They came down the road, in columns of fours, in beautiful order, and looked
as though they would sweep every thing before them, but they met at the
ford a fire from our dismounted men, protected by the large trees, that at that
time were about that point, which emptied many a saddle, broke up their or-
ganization, and drove them back in disorder. They, however, rallied, and
crossing the fields to the east side of the railroad, the embankment of which ■•
protected them from the fire of the guns on the hill, dismounted some of their
men, who engaged the dismounted Confederates at the bridge, drove them
back and opened the way for their mounted men. They charged up the hill
and made for the guns. They were here met by the mounted squadrons, sup-
porting the guns, and driven back under the hill. The guns limbered up to •
retire, one coming back directly towards the depot, the other going down to •

113

the road in front of Mr. Lathams\ The 5th regiment had in the meantime,
retired from Bell's Ford, and the gun came in on the road in the rear of this
regiment, the Federal cavalry overtaking it at that point and making a cap-
ture of it. The Federals pressed the retreating Confederates vigorously
through the town. On the hill, about where now stands the house of Walter
West, and again on the slope of the hill towards Greenwood, a hand to hand
conflict took place in which the saber was for the most part exclusively used.
These two regiments, the 5th and 6th, lost a number of men at these places,
who were never afterwards heard of; their bodies were left on the field, and
we presume they are among the unknown dead of our cemetery.

Before reaching Culpeper, the 3rd division, under Kilpatrick, had turned
across the country from Brandy to the Steveusburg road, and was having a
close fight with Hampton's brigade in the valley, at the foot of Mt. Pony,
while Jones was tussling with Gregg on the Rixeyville road with the advan-
tages on his side. Hampton had not. been so fortunate in his unequal con-
test with Kilpatrick, who was reinforced by some portion of Buford's com-
mand, sent across Mountain Run, by way of the Hudson farm. Hampton lost
two guns, and suffered severely in men and horses, inflicting, however severe
punishment on his adversary. From the Greenwood hill, the tussle between
Hampton and Kilpatrick was plainly visible. The entire force on either side
was in full view. The lines of battle, the advancing squadrons, the charging
columns, the blazing batteries, the close grip of the skirmishers, made the
scene, notwithstanding our own close quarters, as inspiring as any that we
ever witnessed. This will be remembered as the occasion on which Mr. Cur-
tis, living near Georgetown, sou<?ht safety from the shells of the Federal guns,
by taking refuge in the basement of Mr. Jas. Inskeep's house. He had scarce-
ly reached his supposed place of safety before a shell entered the house, pene-
trated the basement, explode4 and killed him. An illustration of the sol-
dier's maxim '*that one place was as safe as another in battle." Jones, retir-
ing by the Rixeyville road, and finding the town occupied by Buford's troops,
made a detour by way of Catalpa and Thos. Rixey's, and joined
the forces that had passed through the village on the hill south
of Greenwood at the intersection of the Oranj^e and Stevensburg
roads. Just before Jones came up, the Federal cavalry, then occupying
the Greenwood hill, made an effort to capture the remaining gun left with
the Confederates at this point. It was posted in the road, just in advance of
the intersection of the roads above referred to, supported by a squadron of
cavalry. The Confederates had dismounted the most of their forces here, and
concealed them in the pines that grew on the west side of the road, in advance
of the gun. From their position near the Greenwood house, the Federals
started a coluuin to charge and capture the gun. They came down the road
and were soon protected by the descent, from the fire of the gun on the hill.

They ascendt^d the hill, n^ar the gun, in tine style, and dashed for it with
the confidence of ceHain capture, but as they passed these i^ines and exposed
the flank of column, they received a deadly fire at short range from the dis-
mounted men, which emptied many saddles and scattered the remainder in
confusion over the fields. All the Confederate forces had now gotten togeth-
er,and occupied a line from the Ward or Thompson hill to the foot of Mt.
Pony till about night, the Federals drawing off and the fight ceasing. About
dark the Confederates begun to retreat, and fell back that night to the Rapi-
dan at Raccoon Ford, and Rapidan Station, Hampton taking position at the
former, and Jones at the latter place. The 0)nfederates occupied the hills
about the Taliaferro and Nalle houses on the north side of the river, and also

lU

souie i)oints lower down the river about the Robertson house, and perhaps
other places.

The next day, Sei)t. 14th, the Federal cavalry appeared in front of the
station, and an artillery duel took place between the batteries of the Confed-
erates on the Nalle hill and the Federal guns posted just in advance of the
woods, on the road to Culpeper, which continued nearly all day. Towards
evening, the Federals advanced their cavalry with a strong skirmish line in
front, which movement was met by a corresponding action on the part of the
Confederates, and a very pretty little fight was on; first with the skirmishers,
afterwards with the mounted men, in which sabers and pistols were freely
used, and a number on both sides came out of the fight with sore beads aud
punched backs. Lower down the river, about the Robertson house, the Con-
federates held the north side of the river till the 19th, at which time the Fed-
erals, by a strong advance of the infantry and artillery, compelled the Con-
federates to retire to the south side of the river. The Rapidan then became
the line between the contending armies, and for nearly a month the sharp
crack of the rifle of the picket, along the banks of the stream, was heard from
morning till night, and it never died away till the armies Were on the move
again.

CULPEPER, OCTOBER 10th AND 11th.

On the 9th of October 1803, Gen. Lee, with a view of bringing Gen. Meade,
then encamped in Culpeper, to an engagement, or forcing him back towards
Washington, broke up his camp in Orange, and moved towards the right flank
of the Federal army, by way of Madison, C. H., and along the south bank of
the Hazel river. This movement was i>receded by Hampton's division of caval-
ry, while two brigades of infantry, one at Rapidan Station, and the other near
Raccoon Ford, with Fitz Lee's division of cavalry, were left on the Rapidan to
guard the right and rear of Lee's advancing army.

About the middle of September the cavalry corps was re-organized. The
number of regiments to a brigade were reduced to four, thus creating two new
brigades, of which Lomax and Rosser were given command, and Butler and
Gordon made brigadiers, to take the place of Robertson and Jones, sent to
other localities. The cavalry corps was made up of two divisions, of three
brigades each, of which Hampton, being made a major general, was given
command of one, and Fitz Lee, also promoted, of the other. Hampton was
still absent on account of wounds received at Gettysburg, and Stuart moved
with his division and directed its movement. On the lOth of October he en-
countered the Federal pickets at Russell's Ford on the Robertson river, and
drove them back rapidly till he reached James City, where he found Kilpat-
rick, with the third division of cavalry and a division of infantry under

Gen. . A severe engagement took place between these forces, in which

the artillery and dismounted men were principally engaged. The Federals
made their stand at James City, but were driven back across Crooked Run,
and took position on the hills of the Culpeper side. The Confederate artillery
was posted at or near the village, and the property of the citizens of the little
hamlet, being directly in the line of Are from the Federal guns, suffered severe-
ly therefrom. After having fallen back to the Culpeper side of the stream,
the Federals crossed over amounted column and attempted to capture a bat-
tery of Confederate guns, placed in front of the village. The guns were han-
dled with such skill, and the charging Federals received with such a destruc-
tive Are from the Confederate carbiners, posted behind fences,that they precipi-
tately retreated with great loss. Without attempting to dislodge them from

115
the poBition last taken, Gen. Stuart, leaving one brigade in their front, push-
ed on towards the turn-pike with the residue of the division, and late in the
evening eame into that road at or near Grifflnsburg, where he encamped for
the night. The next morning, Oct. 11th, he moved down the turn-pike in the
direction of Culpeper, and finding that he had passed on his right, in the
neighborhood of Stone House Mountain, a Federal regiment of infantry that
had been left on picket, as Meade^s army retired, sent Capt. Baylor, a pliant
officer of the 13th Va. cavalry, to the right of the turn-pike to capture this
command. He soon came in contact with it, and at once charged into their
midst; ^after making a short but firm resistance, they laid down their arms.
Gen. Staart,in his report, speaks of this as the second occasion, in the last two
preceding days, in which he had hurled his mounted squadrons on infantry
columns with entire success. Stuart pressed on down the turn-pike towards
Culpeper, driving the enemy^s rear guard before him, till he reached the hills
on the west, overlooking the town. Kilpatrick had, in the meantime, fallen
back from Brown^s Store and had massed his cavalry and artillery on the hills
about the George house, holding the town and the crossings at Mountain
Run with his dismounted men. Stuart posted his artillery on the hill east of
the Citizen^s Cemetery, and opened a rapid fire on the Federal position, which
Was responded to with equal vigor, and for an hour or more the screaming
shells passed each other in the heavens in rapid succession over the valley of
Mountain Run, exploding in the ranks of their adversaries, tearing to
pieces men, horses, gun carriages, and all the implements of warfare. Col.
Perebee, of the 4th N. C. cavalry, with the 5th as his support, was sent for-
ward to drive the Federals from the crossings of Mountain Run, and to gain
possession of the town; after a most stubborn fight in the streets of Culpeper,
and. along the ^anks of the stream, he succeeded in getting possession of the
to-wn, and driving the Federals from the crossings. In this little fight, in the
town of Culpeper, the North Carolinians sulTered severely. Col. Ferebee him-
self, together with Lieut. Moorehead, Lieut. Barbour, Lieut. Porter, and many
>thers were wounded. Gen. Stuart, after keeping up the demonstration at
:his point for some time, withdrew the greater portion of his forces, aad mov-
Iniir ^y tb^ lo^t fiank, took the route by way of Chestnut Fork, with the view
df getting possession of the high ground about the Barbour house, near
Brandy, in the rear of Kilpatrick.

On the morning of the 10th, Gen. Meade, having ascertained that the Con-
federate army was in motion towards his right fiank, directed Gen. Buford to
Dross the Rapidan river at Germanna Ford with his division of cavalry, move
up the south bank of the river, and uncover the fords at Morton's and the one
known as Raccoon, at which point he would be met by the first corps of infan-
try under Gen. Newton, and thus ascertain the extent and purpose of the
movement of the Confederate army. Buford elTected a crossing on the morn-
infiT of the 10th at Germanna, and succeeded in capturing the pickets at that
point, and at the other fords up the river towards Morton's, but before reach-
ing the latter point he encountered the the 5th Va., cavalry, under Col. Pate,
and his movements were retarded by the presence of this force in his front.
He succeeded, however, in reaching the vicinity of Morton's Ford that night,
and gaining possession of some of the little earth works that had previously
"been thrown up in that locality. The first corps, however, did not reach that
point as was anticipated, but had been ordered to retire towards the Rappa-
hannock. Early on the morning of the 11th Buford was attacked at Mor-
ton's Ford by the brigades of Lomax and Wm. H. F. Lee, fighting dismounted,
and by them he was driven from the earth works which he occupied at that.

point. At the same time, Wickham's brigade of Fitz Lee's division and John-
son's brigade of infantry crossed the Rapidan river at Raccoon Ford to the
Culpeper side, and moved down to assail Buford in his flank and rear. Chap-
man's brigade, of Buford's division was the first to cross the river at Morton's
Ford, and it was sent to meet Wickham, who was bearing down on the rear.
Between these two forces, about equally matched in numbers, occurred one o(
the hardest fought battles of the war. The Federals were in line of battle
near the Stringfellow (now Spindle house), with one battery in action. The Con-
federates determined to capture these guns if possible, and for this porpoee
the Ist. and 3rd. Virginia regiments were ordered forward to the charge; this
column, the second and fourth were placed in line as their support. Capt.
Breathit, of the horse artillery, as was his wont, when a cavalry charge was to
be made, rushed his battery up at a gallop with the charging column till he
reached close quarters, and then, double shotted with grape and cannister,
let drive with all his might. Before the charge was completed it was ascer-
tained that the Federal position was protected by a ditch, impassible for
mounted troops, and the order to charge, after the movement was well under
way, was countermanded. In changing front in an endeaver to withdraw,
some confusion arose in these commands. Finding that the Federals could
not be reached by a mounted charge, the men were at once dismounted for
this purpose, but before they were gotten well in line, the Federal dismounted
men advanced at a charge. The 4th. regiment, dismounted, already in line,
was ordered forward to resist this charge, and did so with such courage, gal-
lantry and success, as to win the admiration of its comrades,and the encomium
of the commanding oflBcers; but the regiment suffered severely. Ainoner
those who fell were Capts. Newton and Williams, two of the most intelligent,
gallant and useful officers of the cavalry corps. The Federals, having by this
time withdrawn their whole force to the north side of the Rdipidan, began to
retreat rapidly towards Stevensburg, pressed at every point by the pursuing
Confederates. The dismounted men moved in line of battle at a double quick
from Raccoon Ford to Stevensburg, wliere Buford made a short stand, to pro-
tect some some of his moving trains.

May we be pardoned for making here a digression from the general pur-
pose of this writing, and call attention to a fact, illustrative of the great sacri-
fice made by the Southern people for the cause which they believed to be just
and righteous. In the little cemetery at Louisa C H., there is a monuueot
which marks three graves. On one side of the base 13 the following inscrip-
tion: '' To the memory of Robt. C. Towles, Co. '- A," 4th Va. Cavalry, bom
Sept. C, 1843, killed in battle June 16, 1864." On another side is this : ** To the
memory of J. Vivian Towles, private Company ** A," 4th Va. Cavalry, boni
Feb. 11th, 1839, killed at Raccoon Ford October 11th, 1863;" On
another side is this inscription : '• To the memory of Jas. H. Towles, private
Co. " A," 4th Va. Cavalry, killed at Spottsylvania C. H., May 9th, 1864, born
Oct. 19th, 1845;" and on the remaining side is the following: *' The only sons
of the Rev. John Towles." As the writer a few years ago was wandering
through this country cemetery, he came across these graves, and reading the
inscriptions on the shaft, there came into and over his soul a swelling tide of
emotions, which it is vain for him to attempt to describe.

After a spirited fight at Stevensburg, in which the 2nd, 8rd and 4th regi-
ments were hurled in successive chp,rges upon the position held by the Fed-
erals, their lines were broken, beaten back, and they retreated rapidly to-
wards Brandy Station, baiting for a time at Norman's Mill, from which posi-
tion they were driven by a rapid fire, and taking position on Fleetwood

117
Heights, with th^ir artillery ad mirably posted, so as to command all the coun-
try in their front. The dismounted men of Lomax^s brigade, principally the
Ist Maryland regiment and the 4th regiment of Markham^s brigade occupied
the woods at that time extending up to Brandy Station, facing towards Fleet-
wood, whilst the 9th and 10th regiments of William H. F. Lee's brigade, thrown
forward across the railroad, charged and dispersed a body of Federal cavalry
occupying a position a little wesf of the station. But just as the battle was be-
ing well joined between Buford and Fitz Lee at the station, Kilpatrick, antici-
pating Stuart^s purpose in leaving his front at Culpeper, retreated from that
point, came rushing down towards Brandy, and planting his battery on both
sides of the railroad between the Kennedy and the Wise houses, opened a rak-
ing fire on the flank of Fitz Lee's division eagiorlnqr Baford. Bat Kilpatrick
had scarcely gotten into this position and ready for elTective work, before
Stuart, coming down by the Botts house with two brigades of Hampton's di-
visfon, appeared on Kil Patrick's left flank, and forced him to change front to
meet his new adversary. Wickham's brigade, except the 4th regiment of Fitz
Lee^s division, was also sent forward from the station to resist Kilpatrick, who
at once withdrew all his force to the west side of the railroad to meet this new
danger. Stuart hurled his regiments, one after another, in rapid succession,
upon the flanks of Kilpatrick's columns, breaking up in confusion some por-
tions of his line, and in turn being broken by counter charges. Buford, see-
ing the straight to which Kilpatrick was put, pressed forward to his support
and between him and the Confederate brigades at the station there was a fear-
ful clash of arms. There was charge and counter charge, some regiments
charging four or flve times, and sometimes the whole brigade at a time, now
giving away, now rallying and rushing again to the combat. At one time the
Confederate dismounted men were surrounded by the Federal cavalry, but
undismayed, they continued to fight till their charging comrades brought
them relief. Brandy Station certainly never before, or since, that time, had
such a wild waking up. There were charging squadrons in every direction.
The booming of the cannon from every little hillock; the clear ringing o f steel,
the sharp crack of the carbine; bat above all, and over all, was heard the wild
shout of battle from the lips of those gallant horseman as they rushed to the
confiict. The Federals finally succeeded in getting all their forces together,and
rapidly retreated to and across the Rappahannock that evening. The Con-
federates encamped that night along the south bank about Beverly's and Mil-
ford^s fords. The losses in this day's fight were serious on both sides, bat es-
pecially so to Confederates in officers. Among others that might be mention-
ed, we recall Col. Julian Harrison, of the 6th, Mij. Gillette, of the 13th Va,,
Waller of the 9th., as seriously woanded. The cavalry corps, in the Bristoe
Station campaign, lost in killed, wounded and missing 1330, the greater por-'
tion of which was in this day's fighting. The Federal losses during the same
time were 1251.

The Confederate hospitals were established at the house of Mrs. Wise—
Belle 'Pre. The mansion was soon filled, and when there was no longe r
. room therein, comfortable places in outhouses, and in the yard, were found
for suffering humanity, and all night long did this good woman and her
daughters, like angels of mercy, minister to the sulTerings of the wounded
that were brought there, many of them to die before the morning sun arose.
Providence has dealt kindly with this good woman, and led her gently along
the pathway of life, even down to old age, perhaps in answer to the prayers of
those who survived their sulTerings and have ever held her and hers in grateful
remembrance, and invoked the kindliest benediction of heaven upon them.

Oh I that the present generation could only appreciate and realize all that
th eir mothers suffered, endured and. sacrificed for the cause of the South. I
would that their heroic patriotism might be written in letters of light that
would glow forever, and burn into the very souls of their daughters and those
who succeed them, for all time to come.

Gregg's division of cavalry was not engaged on the 11th. He had retreat-
ed on the Rixeyville road, having passed beyond Chestnut Fork before
Sfcuarfc rexched that point. He encamped at the Fauquier Sulphur Springs
for the night, leaving a strong picket force at Jeffersonton, guarding the
Hazel river as far up as the Monumental mills.

Col. Funsten, commanding Rosser's brigade, was sent from Brandy to Rix-
eyville to move in front of EwelPs corps, advancing by that road. Col. Ball,
commanding the 11th Va. regiment, was sent forward to drive in the enemy's
pickets which he found at Rixey's ford, and to follow them rapidly on their
retreat. When he reached Jeffersonton, he found the 13th Pa. cavalry, pos^
ed near the church, to dispute his progress. The dismounted men of the Fed-
erals were placed about the Baptist church, behind the stone walls and fences
w hich centered to that point, while the mounted men were kept as a support
a short distance in the rear. Col. Bjili dismounted his command and attacked
the Federals in their position, but after considerable loss, was compelled to re-
tire. The Federals were re-enforced by the 4th Pa., and the Confederates hy
the 7th and 12th Va. regiments. Col. Funsten sent the 12th regiment by a
circuitous route to the right of the village, and reached the Springs road
about a mile south of the river. The 7th regiment was sent to the left of the
village, with instructions to mov e around in rear of the academy buildiDg,aDd
attack the force at the church on its right and rear, while a portion of the
11th was mounted and passed around to the right of the church to at-
tack them on their left, and at ' the sama time the dismounted
mfen were again advanced in the front. This movement on the
part of the Southerners was eminently successful, and they caught the Feder-
als on the slope of the hill, in rear of the church, between these two
converging columns, and, in a gallant charge, routed and drove them baclt
in great confusion. In the memtimG, the 12th regiment had reached the
Springs road some distance north of Jeffersonton, and met on the road, in the
Beaver Dam woods, the Federal columns retreating from Jeffersonton. The
Federals caught here between their pursuers and the 12th regiment, were
charged front and rear, and dispersing through the woods, made their es-
cape as best they could; many, however, were made prisoners.

The Confederate coluuui then pressed on towards the Springs. They
found the ford of the river strongly guarded with cavalry and artillery, and
so soon as the Confederates came in sight, the batteries of the Federals, post-
ed on the hills about the Springs, opened a terrific fire upon them; but,nothiDg:
daunted, they charged the ford of the river with a rush, crossed over, drove
the enemy away and obtained a foot hold on the north bank. Fitz Lee's di-
vision crossed the river at Foxville, where they had quite a little fight with
the Federal cavalry occupying the north bank. The greater portion of the
Southern army crossed the river that night, and thus the tide of war once
more rolled away from the shores of (^ulpeper, but to come again at its ebb on
the 20th of October, when the Southern army re crossed to the south bank of
the Rappahannock, and occupied Culpeper after the failure of Gen. Lee, in
the Bristoe Station cami)aign, to bring Gen. Meade to a general Engagement
The infantry, encamped near the river, extended from Welford's on the
west, to Kelleyville on the right, and back towards Brandy and Stevensbarg.

At "Rappahannock Station the Confederates had a pontoon bridge and held a .
t^te de pont on the north side of the fortified hill overlooking the station. .
Eweirs corps was encamped in the re&r dt Kelleyville, Rhodes' division ' oceu-'
pyiug a position nearest the river and guarding the crossing in its front. About
mid-day on the 7th of November the Federals appeared,in beavy columns, in <
front of 'Rappahannock and Kelley ville, and at the latter place effected a
crossing during the day. The 2nd N. C. regiment,of Ramseers' brigade, num- •
bering about 250 men, was on picket duty at Kelley ville, Wheatley's.and Stev-
en's fords. Rifle pits had been constructed near the river at Kelley ville, com-
manding the ford and the site of the old pontoon bridge, but these defences *
were commanded by the hills on the north side, which closed into thfe river •
rather in the form of a semi-circle. The Federals put three or four batteries '
in position on the north side of the of the river, and opened a terrific fire on
the picket force along the river at Kelly ville, and soon drove them to seek :
Buch shelter as they could' find. Massie's Confederate battery was put in po-
sition on the south side about a half mile from the river, and engaged the en-
emy's battery, but the latter was so moch 'superior in numbers, and in met-
al; that the Confederate guns were soon either silenced or driven to change
their positions so frequently that they were of little service. An effort to re-
fiBffor«e the pickets at the river also proved unavailing, because of the exposed l
Qature of the ground, over which the re-enforcements attempted to pass, to '
ihe Federal batteries on the other side. So it was that the Federals, under •
;he protection of their guns, succeeded in forcing the passage of the river, and '
tapturing nearly all of the Confederate pickets at that point. Rhodes' divis-
on and x>erhapB parts of E well's corps, was formed in line of battle a mile or
uore in rear of the river, and so remained till after night, but the enemy
uade no further movement than to effect a lodgement on the South bank of
he river. During the night of the 7th the Federals massed a heavy column
Q front of the tete de pdnt dt Rappahannock Station, charged the position
leld by the Confederates on the north bank of the river, and succeeded in
akin^ possession of the same, and capturing the greater part of Hays' and
lokes' brigade, together with a number of guns and other materials of
irar. The Confederate army fell back that night, and took up a position dn
.dvance of Culpeper, where it awaited during the next day the attack of the
^ederals. The line of battle, selected by Gen. Lee, extended from the foot of
It. Pony, a little south of the Massie house on the right, across Moun-.
ain Run, along southward of the Hudson house, and north of the Williams
lOuse to the high ground on the Brandy road between the Bell and the Hall
arm, thence along in front of where Mr. Daniel nov/ lives and the Cleveland
istate, to the road from Chestnut Fork to Brandy Station, with Hampton's
on's division of cavalry on the right beyond Stevonsburg, and Fitz Lee on
he left in the direction of Rixeyville. An admirable line; certainly the best
bat military skill and wisdom could have selected in this locality. Here Gen.
liee remained in line of battle all the day of the 8th., inviting an attack from
ifen. Meade, but for some reason, he did not join battle with the Confederate
thieftain at this time. There was more or less skirmishing going on all day
>etween the skirmish lines, attended perhaps with some little loss to both
lides. The Confederates lost the day before at Kelley ville some. 30 or 30 men,
dlled and wounded, and about 200 taken prisoners. On the night of the 8th
ieii, Lee fell back to his old encampment in Orange, south of the Rapidan ;
lis army retired leisurely without any collision with the Federal advance,
)veu between the cavalry, and the last serious fighting on Culpeper's soil was
it an end.

From this time till May, 1864, when Grant moved soath of the Rapid an
river for his great campaign in the Wilderness, more than a hundred thou-
sand Federal soldiers were encamped within the limits of the county. But
during his time the right flank of his army was much harrassed by scoating
parties of Southern cavalry that were wintering in Madison, Rappahannock
and Fauquier counties, and also by Mosby's command found in the same lo-
cality. The left of Grant's emcampment was protected and guarded by a line
of pickets extending from Crooked Run, near Brown's Store, across the turn-
pike, a little west of Stonehouse Mountain, by Apperson's gate on the Eldo-
rado road, thence to Muddy Run about Coon's, to the river. Scarcely a night
passed that this line was not disturbed at one or more points by dismounted
cavalrymen, who were looking for a remount, and a number of good horses
were suppled by Uncle Sam to do service for the Confederates during the
next summer campaign. Many of these adventures were perilous in the ex-
treme, but they were performed with a coolness and audacity that was indeed
marvelous. Confederate soldiers, whose homes were within the Federal lines,
made frequent visits to old Culpeper, to see the loved ones at home, the girl
they left behind them, and made hair breadth escapes from capture. All these
incidents are worth recording as a part of the history of the times. But of
course the particulars of but few of them are known to the writer. We recall
an incident of this character, which we will venture to put upon record. On
November 84th, 1863, Capt. R. R. Duncan, a typical soldier, brave and fear-
less as Julius Caesar, a splendid horseman, an excellent swordsman and a good
shot, stout, active, alert and atheletic, and of great wisdom, sagacity and cool
judgement in times of danger, was with some 15 or 20 men of his company,
scouting along the flanks of Meade's army. Finding the picket post on the
turnpike not far in advance of Stonehouse Mountain, he sent forward a few
men and by a dexterous movement to their rear, succeeded in capturing the
two soldiers on the post. Feeling assured that the enemy would send out a
scouting party to ascertain what had become of their pickets, and what force
was prowling about their front, he concealed his little band in the woods near
Salem church. Soon thereafter, about a company of Federal soldiers appear-
ed, moving up the turnpike. He maintained his position till they had passed
his front; he then came in on their rear, and immediately charged them, cap-
turing the most of them and dispersing the residue. But immediately in
their rear came the »Srd W. Va. cavalry, under Maj. Conger, to their support
With a number of prisoners, captured horses, and arms on his hands, it be-
came a very difHcult matter for Capt. Duncan to make good his escape, but he
so skillfully and boldly managed his little force, now using them as mounted
skirmishers, and again charging with them on the advance guard of the pur-
suing columns, that, after being pursued for several miles, he succeeded in get-
ting off with all his captured, both men and animals, without loss to his com-
mand, but inflicting considerable loss to the Federals. One officer was killed,
two others wounded, and other casualties among the enlisted men. Permit us
to also put on record another incident in which a citizen of Culpeper county
was the principal actor. About the latter part of December, 1864, a column of
Federal cavalry, under the command of Gen. Torbett, passed through Cul-
peper, returning from a raid in the direction of Charlottesville. As it passed
along the road in the neighborhood of Rixeyville, some four or five strag-
glers made their way to the home of Mr. J. W. Timberlake, who lived
about a mile West of the main road. Mr. Timberlake was very

kind to them, and gave them of what he had. After gettingsomething to eat
and rummaging through the lower parts of the house and taking what they

1£1

chose, all left, except one, who seemed determined t<o explore every nook and
comer about the building and appropriate to himself everything that suit-
ed Jiiis fancy.-' * In liis search he had gone into the upper rooms, Mr. Timber-
lake following liim. In one of the upper rooms he found a bureau or some ar-
ticle of furniture of that kind, which he immediately begun to examine, emp-
tying th^ contents of the drawers on the floor and putting spme of the articles
in his haversack. Mr. Timberlake stood it very patiently, until he began to
scatter on the floor the articles of clothing which belonged to his dead wife,
and which had been packed away there. This was too much for him, and
stiepping back to the Are place he grasped a heavy wrought iron shovel, and
striking him with all his might on the head with this heavy instrument, felled
him to the floor. In a moment he saw that he had killed him, and what was
to be done? Looking from his window he saw a squad of Yankees approaching
his house, and there he was with the. dead soldier in his house and the horse
tied to the rack.

He had a son, Edward, then about twelve years of age, whom he direict^d
to mount the horse and make for his life to the woods in the rear. , The Yan-
kees seeing him, and thinking that he was a Confederate, made pursuit apd
passed beyond his house. While they were gone in pursuit of the; boy, Mr.
Timberlake and his daughter. Miss Seuie, managed to get the dea4 soldier
from the upper room to the basement and put him in one of the lower roon^s.
When the soldiers, returned and asked who it was that they were pursuing he
informed them that it was a half witted boy, the son of one of bis neighboie,
who seeing them approach, became frightened and fled, and thus he quieted
their apprehension. They dismounted, and he gave them something to eat
and they sat at the table and ate their meal in a room adjoining that in which
was the body of their dead comrade. The old gentleman, in speaking, of tUis
years after the war, said ^^ that when he put the soldier in the basement he
'Was not quite dead, and kicked a little as he carried him down the steps, and
while his comrades sat at the table eating their meals he was very much afraid
that he would kick up a row in the cellar room adjoining. H^s body remain-
ed in the house until midnight or after, when Mr. Timberlake and his daugh-
ter took it therefrom and placing it in an ox cart, hauled it to the woods and
buried it. And he rests not only in an unknown, but a dishonored grave.

BATTLE OF CEDAR RUN, OR SLAUGHTER'S MOUNTAIN.

On the 26th of June, 1802, the Federal Government organized what was
called the Army of Va., consisting of three corps, of which the first was com-
manded by Gen. Sigel, the second by Gen. Banks, and the third by Gep.
McDowell. Gen. John Pope, who had earned some reputation as a fighter,
was given command of this army, and made himself ridiculous in the eyes of
military men on both sides ^^by issuing^' his bombastic order, upon assuming
command, of **Head Quarters in the Saddle.'^

McClellan, having been defeated in front of Richmond by Lee, had sought
shelter on the banks of the James River,under the protection of his gunboats,
and had been so battered, bruised and broken in his seven days contest, that
he concluded he would be unable to resume the offensive without fifty
thousand additional troops, which his government, at that time,
was nnable to supply, without exposing the Capitol to attack. It
was thought best in the Federal military councils, in this condi-
tion of affairs, to move upon Gordonsville with the army of Va., and thus
threaten Lee's left and rear at Richmond. This army, with this object in view,
took position to threaten Gordonsville and Charlottesville. Back's

122

coi-p3 was in ilappahanaock, Sliders about Waterloo and Jeffersooton,
and a division of McDowell's was in Culpeper, with the remainder at Freder-
icksburg. A brigade of Federal cavalry, under Buford, was at Madison Ct.
House, while another, under Bayard, was near Crooked Run church. Daring
the months of July and August, the cavalry of Pope's army was very active
and enterprising. It several times crossed the Rapidan on reconnois3ance,and
made its way to Q,nd beyond Orange C. H. towards Gordonsville.

Ashby's brigade of Confederate cavalry, now under the command of fi.
H. Robertson, which had been left in the valley, to conceal Jackson's inoye-
ment towards Richmond, was withdrawn, and placed in position between
Gordonsville and Orange, to watch the Rapidan, whilst Ewell's, Hill's and
Winder's, or Jackson's old division, all under the command of Jackson, were
quietly withdrawn from Lee's army below Richmond, and placed in camp
in rear of Gordonsville. Jackson conceived the idea of defeating Pope by a
rapid movement to Culpeper, thrusting himself between the wings of bis
army, and defeating them in succession. Jackson had 23,000 men, of whieh
1,300 was cavalry. Pope had 46,000, of which 6,500 was cavalry, but his anny
was scattered over a large area. On the evening of the 7th of Aug., Jackson
began his movement towards Culpeper. Swell's division moved from lt8
camp near Gordonsville, towards Liberty Mills, whilst Winder*^ and Hill's di-
visions moved towards and encamped for the night, near Orange C. H.

Jackson expected to reach Culpeper early the next day, being only 18
miles distant. On the morning of the 8th, the cavalry crossed the river at
Bamett's Ford, and drove back the enemy's cavalry towards Madison G. H.
and Locust Dale. Ewell came down from Liberty Mills, on the north bauk of
the river, and came into' the Culpeper road, south of Locust Dale. The Fed-
eral cavalry was very active, and was handled with great ability. The
march of the (confederate columns was greatly impeded by the threatened in-
cursions of this cavalry on the Confederate trains from the direction of Madi-
son C. H. Jackson was too feeble in this arm of the service for an advaneiDK
army, and his small force had to be divided to protect his train and to preBS
back the enemy's cavalry in front. It was hardly sufficient for both parpoees
and made but slow progress. This,together with the intense heat and dust of
the day, the confusion in which the columns of Winder's and Hill's divisions
had fallen, in respect to the order of their march, and the interuiingliDg of
their trains, blocked the road and made the progress on the 18th remarkably
slow. Swell's division reached Locust Dale, and whilst the Ooufedenite ear-
airy Grained possession of the fords at Robertson's river and Crooked Rmi, en-
camped for the night north of the latter stream. Winder's divisicHi had
crossed the river at Barnett's ford, but Hill was still on the south side of the
river. Jackson communicated with Gen. Lee from Locust Dale on the even-
ing of the 8th, and stated that he feared the enterprise would be a failnre, by
reason of the day's delay. Gen. Pope, it seems, was aware of the movement of
Gen. Jackson early on the 7th, and immediately ordered his foroes to oonoen-
trate at Culpeper. Banks began his movement from the Rappahannock on
the morning of the 8th, and encamped that night at Hazel river, on the Sp^
ryville turn-pike. Rickett's division, of McDowell's corps, that had been en-
camped north of Culpeper, was moved forward on the 8th, and took position
near Colvin's old tavern on the Madison road, to resist the movement of the
Confederates, reported by Buford to be moving by way of Madison C. H.
During the 9th Bank's corps passed through Culi)eper, and was thrown Ua-
ward on the Orange road, in the neighborhood of Cedar Run. Crawford^ bri-
gade of William's div'n, consisting of the 38th N. Y., 46th Pa., 10th Me., and 5th

123
Coun., with two batteries of artillery, was seut forward on the 8th to support
Bayard's cavalry, and took position behind the hills immediately south of Ce-
dar Run, and there remained during the night of the 8th., whilst Bayard's
eavafry was kept well to the front. Early on the morning of the 9th the Con-
federate army, with EwelPs division in front, was again put in motion, but its
movements were slow. The day, as the one before, was intensely hot and the
road was a narrow one; the force of Confederate cavalry in front was insuf-
ficient to drive back, with rapidity, the Federal cavalry. At the extreme
south end of Cedar or Slaughter's Mountain, Hay's brigade, of Ewell's divis-
ion, 'Consisting of 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 19th La. regiments, deflected from
the main road, and passing across the fields to the base of the mountain, east
of James Gktmett's house, hugged the mountain closely and advanced along
ita base, under cover of the woods. Trimble's brigade, of the same division,
eonsiflting of the 12th Ga., 21st N. C, and 16th Ala., also left the Culpeper
road at a point a little further north, and passing to the right by a cluster of
pines, a little south of the Major house, reached the base of the mountain
about where the road crosses it.

In the meantime, the Federal cavalry had been massed in the valley, on
the south branch of Cedar Run, north of the Major house,
and south of the Crittenden house and the one regiment of
Confederate cavalry, the 6th Va^, then with the advance of Ewell's
division, was unable to dislodge it, without the aid of the Confederate infan-
try and artillery. Early's brigade, of Ewell's divison, consisting of the 18th,
25th, 3l0t, 52nd and 58th Va. regiments, which was marching in front, had, in
the meantime, reached the intersection of the Waylandsburg and Culpeper
roads. Maj. Courtney, chief of artillery of Ewell's division, posted two bat-
teries, Capt. Dement's and Capt. Brown's of Maryland, on a small knoll on
which there were growing pines, a short distance south of the Major house,
whilst Capt. Lattimer's, and a section of Johnson's batteries, were sent for-
ward with the advancing columns of Trimble and Hay, until they reached a
position well up on the mountain side, not far below the Slaughter housd.
With a view of closing in on the rear of the Federal cavalry, massed in the
Talley, as before stated, Early's brigade moved from its position, at the inter-
seetion of the roads, and bearing well to the left of the road, under cover of
the hills, so as to keep out of sight, reached the Culpeper road, and crossed it
to the east at a point about one -half of a mile south of the Crittenden gate,
and bore well down on the flank and rear of the cavalry in the valley. When
bis Bkirmishers engaged those of the cavalry, the batteries, posted by Maj.
Courtney, also opened on their ranks. They broke and fled up the valley by
the Crittenden house, but Were rallied and reformed near the centre of the
Federal lines on the main road.

Early then advanced his brigade and took position, flrst in line of bat-
tle along the road leading from the Crittenden house, whieh he occupied
for a short time, then advanced his lines towards the summit of the hill
overlooking the valley between the Crittenden house and where now
stands the Smoot house. Three guns of Brown's and Dement's batteries were
moved forward, and took position on the knoll of cedars a little north and
west of the Crittenden house as did also several guns of Dement's and D'Ar-
qnin's batteries, at a point little nearer to, and north east of the Crittenden
honse. Ewell, with the residue of his division, had reached a position dt the
extreme north end of Slaughter's Mountain, keeping his infantry well under
oover. The Federal commander. Gen. Banks, had, in the meantime, been
busy organizing his lihe of battle, to meet the advance of the Confederates.

124

McOilvery's battery of sii^^ans, and Robertson's and Gary^s of four punfi,
were placed in position on the north side of the Mitchell's Station road, in
front of the Hadson house pointing sbutheast,- commandinfi: the valley of the
south branch of Cedar Run, and frontinpr the Confederate batteries on the
slope of the mountain. Best's, Reamer's, and Knapp's batteries^ of four jrans
each, were placed in position* in the angle Of the Mitchell's Station and Cul-
peper roads, and Mullensbur^'s battery of four guns was placed on the west
'Side of the Culpeper road, on the hiprfi grotind just in advance of the point
where the road to Mrs. Brown's house leaves the Culpeper road. Gen. Prince's
'brigade, of Gen. Augur's division, supported by the brigade of Gen, Gre^e,
occupied the extreme left of the Federal line of battle; it was placed astride
of the Mitchell's Station road, with the 103nd N.Y. on the left, on the north of
•the road, and swinering round to the south and west in the angle of the road,
'Were placed the following regiments, in the following order: the 100th Pa., the
5rd Mdi, and 11th Pa. Then came Gen Gh.ry's brigade, of the same division,
continuing -the line of battle in the following order: the 5th O. on his left, con-
necting with Prince, then the 6th Ohio, 7th Ohio, and 29th. Ohio regiments.
iCrawfo»d's ^brigAde, of William's division, came next in order of battle, with
the 5th Conni; on the east side of the ifiain road, and the 28th N. Y-;, 46th Pa.
AndlOtltiMaine ih the order named, their Vight being thrown *baok oonsidera
Wetotherear. 'Still to the "right of this was Gordon's brigade, of the same
rdivisiun, in two lines, with the 2nd Mass and 8rd Wis. in the first, and the 37th
Jnd. in the second line. 'The cavalry of the Federal army was massed about
«the centre of the line, near the main road, and behind the range of hill^on the
•west. Winder's division, of the Confederate army, was now*'~K3oming on the
field, and four guns of Carpenter's and Poague's batteries we^ placed in posi-
ition in the open field, in front of the Crittenden gate, on the east side of the
main road, and> shortly afterwards five rifle pieces of Hill's division, belonging
to Caskie's, Fleet's and Pegram's batteries, were, by direction of Col. Walker,
chief of artillery of Hill's division, placed along the ridge in front of Early's
brigade, and but a short distance from the Federal skirmish line, extending
■ across the corn field.

. These dispositions for battle made by the two armies, consumed some
time, and' it was not till half past three o'clock that th<^ battle opened, with
I nearly the whole of the artillery on either side in pb^ition; twenty-six of the
best guns on the Confederate side, and twenty-eight on the Federal side were
engaged, and for two hours they thundered at each other -across this narrow
valley, whilst further disposition was being made for the struggle between the
infantry at closer quarters.

Garnett's brigade, consisting of the 21st, 4Sth, 47th and 1st Va. regiment^
was ordered to move to the left through the woods, over' the ground
which is now the cleared ground about the Throgmorton house, and, if poBsi-
ble, reach the right of the Federal line, turn it, charge and capture the bat-
tery posted on the west side of the road. Upon reconnoitering the situation,
it was found imprapticabl en to execute this order. It was found that the right
batteries, on the Federal line, were supported by infantry, posted in and in
rear of the woods on the high ground, on what is now the Cooper farm, afld
the greater portion of the cavalry was also massed under the protection of
the same hill. This brigade was then placed in line of battle, along the crest of
■the hill, in the rear of the wheat field, which lay between the two lines of bat-
tle, with its right consisting of the 48th and 21st regiments, thrown back
along the road and facing north east, with a view of protecting the batteries
•in this field from an approach in front, whilst the 42nd regimept and Ist Va.

125

battalion wore in line fronting? the wheat-field. The Isb. Va. was on the ex-
treme left, and an interval existed between that and the next regiment in line.
About this time Gen. Jackson appeared on this part of the field. He at once
saw that the exposed condition of his left flank invited an attack, and that the
natare of the ground was exceedingly favorable for such a movement on the
part of his adversary. He directed Gen. Garnett to look well to his left, and
to request his division commander to reinforce him. Gen. Taliaferro's
brigade, consisting of the 10th, 23rd, 37th and 47tli Va. regiments, and the
48th Ala., having arrived on the field, was placed in line of battle along the
road leading to the Crittenden house, in support of the Confederate batter-
ies and connecting with Gen. Early on the right. About this time Gen. Win-
der was killed by a fragment of an exploded shell. He is said to have fallen
in the main road, a short distance south of the Crittenden gate, and about
where the fence of the Throgmorton land now comes to the road.
There was some delay in reinforcing Garnett, owing to Winder's death
and the change of division commandei*s on the field, and before it was.
done, Gen. Banks, contrary to the orders of his superior, perhaps, advanced
his whole line of battle to the attack, although numerically weaker than
Gen. Jackson.

The two brigades of Augur's division, with a battalion of the 8th and
12th U. 8. regulars, under Capt. Pitcher, thrown forward as skirmishers^ ad-
vanced in the centre, through the corn field on what is now the Smoot farm.
and assailed Early vigorously. He was sorely pressed by these two brigades
of Geary and Prince for a time, but being reinforced by Taliaferro's brigade
on the left, and a poftion of Thomas' Georgia brigade, of Hill's division, on
the right, the progress of the Federal advance was soon arrested. The Fed-
. eral line was also reinforced, by Greene's brigade, which was put in on the
left as a support to Prince. The contest in, and in front of this corn field, was,
for a time, stubborn and sanguinary. The Federal loss was very serious for
tlvB numbers engaged and the time the engagement lasted. Gen. Prince, in an
effort to rally his broken command, was taken prisoner in this field by a pri-
vat.e of the 23rd Va. regiment, surrendering his sword, however, to Gen. Talia-
ferro. But the Confederates were not so fortunate on their left.
Before this portion of their line could be extended and reinforced,
the Federals advanced. The two brigades of Crawford and Gor-
don, constituting the right wing of the forces engaged, the former in advance
and about seventeen hundred strong, the latter in support, and still further
to the right, were moved forward from their position behind the wooded hill
to the assault on the left fiank of the Confederate army. They moved from
their position across the wheat field, in splendid order, with banners fiying
and confident step, and entered the woods on the south of the wheat field,
overlapping and enveloping the left of the Confederate lines, breaking and
routing the major part, if not the whole of Garnett's brigade, leaving the way
open to the Confederate rear. The Federals pressed rapidly forward, and
swinging around to their left, passed over the ground about where now
stands the Throgmorton house, and well nigh gained the main road. Talia-
ferro, whose brigade was engaged with the Federals in the corn field, attempt-
ed to change front to meet this advance on his flank and rear. Some of his
regiments, then for the flrst time under fire, becouiing panic stricken by this
destructive fire on their fiank, broke and fied in utter rout. The artillery on
the extreme left was withdrawn to escape capture. The whole left wing of the
Confederate army seeming, for a time, to be broken and shattered, suffered
great loss. Every field officer in Garnett's brigade had been killed

120

or wounded. It was for a time a scene of great confusion.
Officers were in the melee, trying in vain to rally their troops.
Jackson, himself, appeared upon the scene, and drawing his sword, as it is
said, for the first and only time daring the war, commanded his nien to rally
and follow him against the advancing columns of the enemy. He remained
with his discomfited troops, till reminded by Gen. Taliaferro that it was hard-
ly a proper place for the chief officer in command.

Just at this juncture the Stonewall brigade, consisting of the 2nd, 4th, 5tli,
27th, and 33rd Va. regiments, under the command of Col. Roland, appeared on
the field. These regiments had been grep.tly reduced in numbers by the val-
ley campaign and the seven days battle in front of Richmond, but they were
staunch veterans of more than a dozen conflicts, and were not easily discom-
fited. This brigade was rapidly deployed in line in the woods on the west of
the road, with its right extended, and left thrown back, and opening its ranks
to allow the fugitives to pass through, boldly moved forward and opened a de-
structive fire on their enemies. Unfortunately for the Federals, especially
Crawford's brigade, they had advanced too far from their supports, and suf-
fered their line to become broken up in their rapid advance, and were not in
a condition to receive the attack of this fresh Confederate brigade. They
halted, attempted to reform their lines to meet their fresh antagonists, bat
with little avail. They were swept away before the onset of the Stonewall
brigade as chaflf before the wind, with frightful loss. The battle was at once
renewed with great vigor. Jackson ordered an advance of the whole line.
Ewell on the right, deploying his Alabama regiment as skirmishers, moved
down from the mountain slope and extending his right brigade,under Trimble,
reached Cedar Run and essayed to strike the Federal rear on the north side of
the stream, but was prevented from crossing by the obstruction of an old mill-
pond. The 2nd. and 6th, Va. cavalry (the 12th. having been detached to guard
the left towards Thoroughfare Mountain, and the 7th. sent to Madison Court-
house), moved down the valley of the south brannh of Cedar Run, and oaju-
pied the space between Early and Ewell. Ewell, finding that he could not
cross the run, turned Trimble's brigade on the Federal batterries on the left
of their line. The valley, immediately in their front, was so completely swept
by the Confederate batteries on the slope of the mountain, that Trimble's
troops could not pass over it till a staff officer had been dispatched to order a
cessation of their fire. In the meantime the Federal batteries had been with-
drawn, and the left was in retreat. Gen. Branch, coming on the field with his
splendid brigade of North Carolinians about the time of the Confederate ad-
vance, was ordered to the support of the Stonewall brigade,and formed his line
in the woods on its left at right angles to the road, followed by Pender's bri-
gade, moving in column still further to the left. Taliaferro's brigade was
quickly rallied on the right. Many of Garnett's men came back to the field,
and fell in with the Stonewall brigade, which, with Branch's brigade, moved
rapidly forward through the woods, and entering the wheat field, passed over
the high ground, closing in towards the road, and by well directed volleys,
crushed in and routed the Federal right with great loss of life, especially in
Crawford's brigade, which, in killed, wounded and missing, lost more than
half their number: 867 out of 1,670 taken into battle; Gordon's brigade also
suffered severely.

The Federals attempteil to retrieve the fortunes of the hour by a charge
of cavalry on the Confederate lines as they emerged from the woods into the
wheat field. Maj. Falls, with two squadrons of the 14th. Penn. cavalry, pass"
ing from behind the high ground on the west of the road, formed his command

127

in column of squadrons, and charged down the little valley in the wheatfield
on the Confederate line just as it had crossed the branch and entered the field.
But they were met with such a well directed fire in front, as well as from the
troops in the field on the east of the road (Thirteenth Virp^inia regiment), and
Branches brigade, which, at that time, was sweeping obliquely across the
wheat field, and had reached the high grounds, that their ranks were broken
before reaching their objective point. These squadrons lost in this charge 71,
out of 164 men. The entire Confederate line was now pressing rapidly for-
ward and tne Federals were in hasty retreat, with Wiiliam^s division complete-
ly broken and routed. But it was now dark and the pursuit ceased for a time.
Several pieces of artillery were placed in position on the high points south of
the run, and the woods on the north side and the country beyond were sub-
jected to a vigorous shelling to ascertain the position of the Federals. Rick-
ett^s division, of McDowelPs corps, that had been left on the Madison road)
leading froth Colvin's Tavern, was ordered forward to the support of Bank^s
right, and took position on the north side of Cedar Run with his right, consist-
ing of Tower's brigade, supported by Hartsuflf's brigade, and two batteries of
artillery— Lippen's and Matthew's— extending out to the range of hills near the
Brown house, and his left, consisting of Carroll's and Duryea's brigades, rest-
ing on the Culpeper road, near the woods in the rear of the Hudson house, and
Hairs battery posted on a little eminence on the west of the road, and Thomp-
son's on the east. But, before this disposition had been entirely completed,
the Confederate lines were advanced to the north side of the run. Fields' bri-
gade, of Hill's division, crossing the run, moved in line of battle on
the left of the road. Spofford's brigade, of the same division, on
the right, whilst Pegram's battery and the 6th. Virginia cavalry moved
in column in the road, and the 7th Va., cavalry moved on the right of Spof-
ford's brigade. The advance of the 'Confederates was slow,cautiou8 and quiet,
until they reached the north skirt of the woods,where they halted and Pegram
took position with his battery on a little knoll just west of the road. The
line of the Federals could be distinctly seen by the little fires they had built,
around which they were brewing their coffee. Pegram's batteries opened on
them with grape and cannister, and threw them into great confusion. They
could be distinctly seen, by the light of their fires, rushing headlong to the
rear. Milroy, who was just arriving on the field with his brigade, threw it
in line across the road in their rear and stopped their filght. Order in a short
time was restored, and Hall's battery, on the right of the road, and Thomp-
son's on the left, concentrated their fire on Pegram, and killed and wounded
a number of his men and horses. Our esteemed former county man. Gen. J. G.
Field, then a staff officer of Gen. Hill, lost his leg in the road near Pegram's
battery. This artillery duel, with some skirmishing between the infantry,
continued for an hour or more, when it gradually subsided and finally ceased.
The cavalry was withdrawn and went into camp in the wheat field, but the
infantry and artillery remained in position during the night. The next morn-
ing a brisk skirmish was begun, and there was every indication of a renewal
of the battle. It lasted till perhaps 12 o'clock, when Jackson having ascer-
tained that nearly the whole of Pope's army was concentrated in his front, to
use his own language, concluded that " it was not prudent to attack," and
withdrew his lines to the position he at first occupied.On the morning of the 10th
Gen. Stuart, having arrived on a tour of in8pection,gathered together the Con-
federate cavalry, moved east to the railroad, which he followed nearly to the
Stevensburg road leading from Culpeper, in the rear of the Federal army,
having first bent forward a detachment to Mt. Pony to capture the signal

123

corps there stationed. Stuart ascertained, from prisoners captured and other
sources, that the remaining division of McDowelPs corps was hourly expected
to arrive from Fredericksburg, so that it became apparent that, if not already
on the field, the whole of Pope's army was in supporting distance, and no de-
cided victory could be reasonably expected against such odds.

The next day, the 11th, the Federal commander asked for a truce to bury
his dead, and all that day the Federal and Confederate soldiers mingled freely
together, engaged in the pious work of burying their dead and caring for their

wounded. The Federals lost in the engagement, in killed, wounded and miss-
ing 2,881. and the Confederates 1,276. On the 12th. Ja,ckson slowly withdrew
his command to the south side of the Rapidan, unmolested by the Federal
advance.

CULPEPER'S PROTEST AGAINST THE STAMP ACT.

•

At a court held for the county of Culpeper on Monday, the 21stday of Octo-

tober, 1765, the sixteen justices of the peace for Culpeper county, drew up and

Rigrned a protest to Governor Fauquier against the imposition of the stamp

act, emphasizing their protest by resigning: their commissions. The address,

which is given in full, is recorded in the Culpeper clerk's office, in deed book

**E," on page 138, and is attested by Roger Dixon, who was the first clerk of the

county. The address is as follows :

*'To The Honorable Francis Fauquier, Esquire, his Majesty's Lieutenant,
Governor, and Commander-in-Cliief, of the Coloiiy and Dominion of
Virginia. The humble address of the Justices of the Peace of the
County of Culpeper.

"Sir: At a time when his majesty's subjects in America are so universally
alarmed on account of the late proceedings of the British Parliament, and the
enemies of America employed in representing its colonies in an odious light to
our most gracious Sovereign, and his ministers, by the most un-
generous interpretation of our behavior, we beg leave to take this
method to assure your Honour of our inviolable attachment to, and affection
for, the sacred person of his Majesty, and the whole Royal family.

*'And. from j'our Honour's well known candor, and benevolent disposition,
we are persuaded that we shall at the same time be permitted to lay before
your Honour those reasons which have determined us to resign the Commis-
sion of the Peace, under which we have been sworn to act as magistrates in
this county.

''It seems to be the unanimous opinion of the people cf America (and of a
few in England), that the late acts of Parliament, by which a stamp duty is
imposed on the Americans, and a court of vice-admiralty appointed ultimate-
ly to determine all controversies, which may arise, concerning the execution
of the said act, is unconstitutional, and a high infringement of our most valu-
able privileges as British subjects, who, we humbly apprehend, cannot con-
stitutionally be taxed without the consent of our representatives, or our lives
or properties be affected in any suit, or criminal causes, whatsoever, without
first being tried by our peers.

**And, as the execution of the said act do«s, in some measure, depend on
the county courts, we cinnot, if consistent with the duty which we owe our
country, be, in the smallest degree, instrumental in enforcing a law which
concieves, as in itself, shaking at the very foundation of our liberties, and, if
carried into execution, must render our posterity unhappy, and ourselves con-
temptible. In the opinion of all men who are the least acquainted with a
British constitution, as we shall, in that case, no longer be free, but merely
the property of those whom we formerly looked upon only as our fellow sub-
jects.

*' Permit us. Sir, to add that we still hope his Majesty and Parliament
will change their measures and suffer us to enjoy our ancient privileges, and
if we should incur the displeasure of our Sovereign by thus endeavoring to as-
sert our rights, we should look upon it as one of the greatest misfortunes
which could befall us.

''We do heartily and sincerely wish his Majesty a long and happy reign
over us, and that there never may be wanting a Prince, or* the illustrious
House of Hanover, to succeed him in his dominions, that your Honour may
continue to enjoy the favor of our Sovereign, long govern the people of this
ancient and loyal colony, and that the people may again be as happy under
your mild and gentle administration as they have formerly been, is what we
iuost devoutlv pray for.

CHAPTER IX.

DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM RICE.

Among: the early settlers of what is now Culpei^er county, was William
Rice, who came some time before the county was organized. In volume 17, of
the patent records in Richmond, paj?e 120, is a deed from Georpre II etc., to
William Rice, for four hundred acres of land in the forks of the Rapid Ann, in
the county of Orange, beginning at four pines on a point on a branch of Dark
Run. This deed is dated July 29, 1736, and is signed by William Gooch.

Orange county, at that time, included all of what is now Culpeper. From
it Culpeper was formed in 1748. William Rice was a son of Thomas Rice, who
came to America in the latter part of the 17th century, and who is mentioned
in the following manner, in the meu^oirs of Rev. David Rice, published by
Thomas T. Skillman, Lexington, Ky., ±824, pp. 420.

"Thomas Rice was an Englishman by birth, of Welsh extraction. He was
an early adventurer into Virginia; where he spent the first part of his life
is not certainly known. In the latter part of his life he owned
a small plantation in the lower part of what is now (1824) called Han-
over county. Here he left his wife, with nine sons and three daughters, and
went to England to receive a considerable estate which had been left him, but
returned no more. The sailors reported that he died at sea. It is supposed
that he was assassinated. No return was ever made of the property after
which he had gone, and his family were left destitute in a Strang
land.'' »»***» .^The family being left without an
earthly father, were distressed, but they were, in the good providence of God,
provided for. The greater part moved about thirty miles farther up the conn
try, where they procured a small plantation, on which they raised numeroas
families; four or five of them became serious professors of religion, and were
succeeded in their religious profession by a considerable number of their
children."— pp. 18 and 14. His wife, '*was esteemed truly a religious woman,'*
pp. 33. Among those descendants, who moved North, was William Rice, of
Culpeper.

In Patent Book 8 of the same Records, page 261, is recorded a patent from
Sir Edmond Andros, Kt., their Majesty's Lieutenant and Governor General
etc.," to Thomas Rice for land lying in **King8ton Parish, in Gloucester coun-
ty, said land being due unto said Thomas Rice by and for the importation of
one person into this colony." Dated the 29th day of April, 169^^. This Thomas
Rice was probably the one who was father of William Rice, of Culpeper. In
the same records, vol. 17, pp. 132, is recorded a deed from George II, King, etc.,
to Thomas Rice, for 1200 acres of land in Hanover county, on both sides of
Cub Creek and Dirty Swamp, bounded by the lands of Col. David Meriwether,
David an(i William Meriwether, James Goodall, and Richard Brooks. This is
probably the place where thJs Thomas Rice lived in the latter part of his life.

132

133
The last will and testament of William Rice was probated and recorded in
Culpeper county the 17th day of April, 1780. It was dated the 9th day of
February, 1780. He divided his property about equally between his children,
Richard, John, Benajah, Hannah Rice, Ann Graves, wife of John Graves, and
Sarah Graves, wife of Edward Graves. In his will is the following provision,
**I lend to my beloved wife, Sarah Rice, one- half of my estate during her natu-
ral life." After that it was to be divided equally between his children. He
appointed Benajah, John, and Richard Rice, his sons, and John Graves, his
son-inlaw, his executors. Among the property inventoried are slaves, horses,
cattle, sheep, hogs, plantation tools, six spinning wheels, two looms, one cop-
per still, a desk, warming pan, books of sundry kinds, valued at £70, money
scales, cash in metal £7, 13s. 9d., cash in paper £55, 8s., punch bowls, valued at
£16. He gave the copper still to his unmarried daughter. Perhaps bethought
she would be leas likely to misaae it. The fact that ''money scales" were consider-
ed a part of the equipment of a plantation would seem to indicate that coin,
or metal money, as it is called in this inventory, was valued according to its
weight in those days.

John Rice, one of the sons of William Rice, removed to the valley of Shen-
andoah. He obtained ther« a large tract of land about six miles long. Built a
log cabin upon it, and there went back. He married Mary Finney. Upon his
marriage his father made the newly married couple a wedding present of a
set of silver spoons, marked W. R., the initials of the donor. If they were
marked on purpose for the occasion it shows a different custom in marking
wedding presents from that which now prevails. These spoons are still in the
possession of some of their descendants. After marrying, he returned to
Rockingham county, lived and died there, and his will was admitted to pro-
bate there A. D. 1804. He willed all of his land and slaves to his wife during
her life, to be divided, at her death, amonst his children, except his daughter,
who had married James Snaden, and gone to Bourbon county, Ky. He had prob-
ably given her her share when she went to Kentucky. John Rice, shortly after
hisreturn to Rockingham county, and about the year 1770 to 1779, built his
new house, which is still standing, and is in good order and occupied. The
roof i« a little steeper than 4r) degrees. The first roof was on the house seven-
ty-one years. It was made of yellow pine shingles, about three quarters of an
ineh thick, pinned on with locust pins. There is a cellar under the whole house,
part of which was used as a kitchen, and part of it for a store-room, for bacon
and whiskey. Almost every large plantation, in those days, had its own difc-
tillery and ir»ade the whiskey for the use of the plantation, and, according to
modern standards, they used too much. The cellar walls and fireplaces were
built of brick, which was not usual at that time. The house is a frame one.
It is weather-boarded with siding, 6 inches wide, and little more than half an
inch thick, of yellow pine. All the lumber in the house was sawed out by
hand with whip-saws. Every one of the weatherboards has a bead rnn on
the edge for ornament. The siding is nailed on witli wrought iron nails,
which still show the mark of the blacksnuth's hammer. The doors are six
panel doors, and the window blinds are made the same way. All the binges
are wrought iron, made by hand, and also show the marks of the blacksmith's
hammer. There is a profusion of moulding all through the house. It was
the first frame house lathed, plastered and weather-boarded and painted in all
that region. It is in good order now, much better than Thomas Jefferson's,
which was built sixteen years later. This house was called ''The Painted
House," and that part of the country was called ''The Painted House Neigh-
borhood," houses painted on the outside being so rare. The neighborhood is
sometimes known yet among the old settlers, as "The Painted House Neigh-

184

borhood," though this house lost all its paint long ago, and has not received
a new application lately. The Rices of Rockingham county are buried in the
Dayton burying ground, commencing at the South side of the graveyard and
extending Northward. First is old Mrs. Finney, who came over from Acco-
mac county, or Culpeper, to live with her daughter, Mary, and son-in-law,
John Rice. Next to her is John Rice; then Mary, his daughter; then Ursula
Gaines Rice; then Mary Finney Rice, the wife of John; then three or four
children; then William Rice, John's oldest son, who is the first one who has a
lettered tombstone. The rest have just plain stones from the creek. Wil-
liam's gravestone is marked as follows: "William Rice, born July 27th, 1779,
and departed this life August 2nd, 1838. Aged 59 years and 6 days." Benajah
Rice, brother of John Rice, also obtained land in the same county, and ad-
joining John. He never lived there himself, but some of his children did, and
some of his descendants are living there now. The Mary Finney, whom this
John Rice married, belonged to the family of Finneys who have lived, for the
last 250 years or more, in Accomac county, on the eastern shore of Virginia.
There is a place now, called ''Finney," and a place called "Finney's Wharf."
Honorable Louis C. H. Finney was a member of the Virginia Senate a few
years ago, and was well versed in the history of the Finney family. It iis prob-
able that William Rice was an Episcopalian; also his son, John Rice, and
probably his daughter-in-law, were. An old negro slave, called "Lark," was
born on the property of this John Rice, and was baptized, as all the other
slaves born on the plantation were, after the fashion of the patriarch. Abra-
ham, who baptized his whole family, including all his servants. This old ne-
gro was made free by Ann Hopkins Rice, a daughter-in-law of John Rice, who
inherited him, and he died in Illinois about 1803, living with one of John
Rice's grandsons. Except these, nearly all of the Rice family, including even
the descendants of these, were, and are, Presbyterians.

David Rice, who was sometimes called the '^Apostle of Kentucky," and
who was instrumental in the founding of Hampden and Sidney College,
Virginia, and of the Transylvania University, Kentucky, and the Danville
Theological Seminary, Kentucky, was the first moderator of the
first Presbytery, and the first moderator of the first Synod of
Kentucky, and a member of the first constitutional convention of Ken-
tucky, was a nej)hew of William Rice, of Culpeper. Benjamin Rice, David's
brother, was a lawyer, of Bedford county, Virginia, whose son, John Holt
Rice, D. 1)., was the first pastor of Richmond Memorial church, and first Pro-
fessor of Christian Theology in Union Theological Seminary, Virginia, and
once moderator of the Presbyterian General Assembly Another son, Benja
min Holt Rice, was a professor in Princeton, and was once moderator of the
Presbyterian General Assembly. Nathan Lewis Rice, D. D., also one of the
descendants of this Thomas Rice, was once a moderator of the General Asseui
bly, and was a theological professor. Quite a large per cent of the Rice family
have been, and are lawyers, ministers of the Gospel, or doctors of meoicine.

The Rices, when living in Wales, had a Coat of Arms, of which the widow
of Izard Bacon Rice long ago had a copy. The widow of John Holt Rice, D.
D., who died in 1831, also had a copy. Mrs. Sara A. Pry or, a prominent mem
ber of the Daughters of the American Revolution, wife of General Roger A.
Pryor, late Justice of the Supreme Court, New York, now has a copy. Mrs.
Pryor is a descendant of Thomas Rice, of Hanover.

The Rice motto was '^Fides Non Timet." In the old days, when written
in Welsh, the name was spelled "Rhys," though even then, when written in
English, it was often si)elled, as now, "Rice.''

THE BARBOUR FAMILY GENEALOGY.

By John Strode Barbour.

[The following ^enealo^y of the Barbour family was received too late to
be plaeed in St. Mark's proper, in which Dr. Slaughter's sketch of the Bar-
bour family is printed.—R. T. G.]

There is some confusion as to the name of the first emigrant and founder
of the Barbour family in Virginia, or rather who was the emigrant of this par-
ticular family. All traditions seem to give their extraction as Scotch, and the
time of coming to this country as about the middle of the 17th century. Some
traditions give William Barbour, who was said to have been a younger son of
the Baron of Mulderg, and who was County Lieutenant of York in 1656, and
also one of the commission appointed by the governor, Sir William Berkley, in
1660, to superintend the erection of the State house at Jamestown, as the first
emigrant (See Hardesty's Historical and Geographical Encyclopedia [1884] p.
358), while others give James Barbour, a Scotch merchant. One tradition, in
connection with this last theory, is that, on arriving in Virginia, James Bar-
bour established a home on a plantation, since famous as the seat, for genera-
tions, of another distinguished Virginia family. That he there married a Miss
Taliaferro, and died, leaving an infant son, James, and a widow. That the
widow re-married, and by some means the issue of this second marriage, who
was almost an imbecile, became the owner of the entire Barbour property.
He was a great gambler, and soon squandered it. The only form of gambling
he had intellect sufficient to engage in was '^pusli pins", and he is reported to
have lost the homestead upon the issue of a single game. However true this
tradition may be, the son, James, left the home of his childhood after his
father's death, and came to Culpeper near the end of the first quarter of the
18th century, and settled finally in Culpeper county. It was here that he
lived, and died, and was buried. The tombstone marking his grave is still
standing at Smith's Cottage, the old homestead, now in Madison county.
This second James, spoken of by Dr. Slaughter as the first, was a vestryman
of St. Mark's Parish at its organization in 1781. Probably the most authentic
account of the founder of the Virginia family, now attainable, is the following
exiX/BLGt from the bible of Governor James Barbour, entered therein in his own
handwriting, under date of June 6tli, 1806. It will be observed that he makes
no reference to William Barbour, and no claim to descent from titled ances-
tors, but seems rather to emphasize the fact that his ancestors were ''farmers
or yeomen". It will be observed also that he refers to the defeat of the expec-
tions of the second James, by reason of the re-marriage of his mother. He
says: **The farthest back that 1 have been able to trace, with any certainty,
is my great grandfather, who came over to this country from Scotland, in the
17th century. He came in the character of a merchant, and was wrecked on
his first adventure. His friends, as stated by tradition, being rich, furnished
him with a new cargo, which he turned to a profitable account in (I believe)
the county of King and Queen. He had issue, only one son, whom' he called
after himself, James, who intermarried with Sarah Todd, of a most respecta-
ble family. My grandfather's prospects in life were considerably blasted by
the second marriage of his mother, an usual concomitant of such connections
with the wreck of his expectations. He was either the first or second settler
in this country; I mean the South West Mountains. 1 am certain he was the
fii*8t inhabitant of this neighborhood, which was at first about the plantation
now in the occupancy of the Newman family, that being the place of rei^i-
dence from which he moved to a place nearer the river that belonged to
William Johnson. He had issue, five sons, and three daughters * * *,
My father Thomas, as well as his father, were farmers or yeomen." In the

136

obituary notice of his distinguished prreat grandson, Ju(Jge Philip Pendleton
Barbour, published in Vol. 16, Peters' U. S. Supreme Court reports, it is said:
**His (Judge Barbour's) great grandfather was a merchant of Scotland, who
emigrated to this country. His grandfather (the second James) was the
founder and.first settler of the country lying between the eastern bajse of the
Blue Ridge and the South West Mountains.*' While it is possible that the
first James, instead of being the emigrant, was a son of a grand son of the
William Barbour, above mentioned, in the following chart this James Bar-
bour is treated as the founder of the family.

[In order that any errors or omissions, found in this account of the Bar-
bour family, may be corrected in any future editions, the publisher request*
that any such may be reported to John S. Barbour, Culpeper, Va. The names
in parenthesis denote the line of descent. Thus : "Gabriel Barbour (Thos.,
Jas., Jas., Jas.,) signifies that Gabriel Barbour was the son ot Thomas, the
grandson of James, and so on. — R. T. Gf.].

James Barbour emigrated from Scotland in the 17th. century; settled
in King and Queen, or in Gloucester county; married Miss Taliaferro, and had
but one son, James, erroneously called James, the first, by Dr. Slaughter, who
was "defeated of his expectancy'' by the second marriage of his mother.

ADDENDA.

It was stated on page 136 that James Barbour (James) had a son William,
who married Elizabeth Bailey. Further research since that statement was
printed shows ittobeerroneou8,but it has brought out the probability that
he was related to the Culpeper family of Barbours through a more remote an-
cestor than any named above, viz : Gabriel Barbour, said to have been a
London merchant, and a member of the London Virginia Company, and who
gave 1000 pounds to establish a fund to christianize the Indians, though it
has been impossible to prosecute the inquires necessary to conclusively estab-
lish this line of descent in time for incorporation in this sketch. The William
Barbour, above mentioned, instead of being a son of James (James), was prob-
ably the 8on or grandson of Capt. William Barbour, of Richmond county,
whose daughter married Ajola Price, as mentioned in the Green genealogy (p
61 , part first). He had a brother, Samuel and they came to Culpeper county to
gether, and settled before the revolution. His descendants are : William
Barbour and Travers Barbour, both of whom moved to North Carolina about
1800; their descendants are unknown; and Frances, m. Thomas Taylor (Charles,
of Orange count j'), October 4th., 1800, having Pannill Taylor, b. 1801, m. Millie
Brown; Elizabeth, b. 1803, died single; Patsey Taylor, b. 1805, m. A. Ford, and

THE BROADDUS FAMILY.

[Judpre John W. Jones has furnished the following: more extended sketch
of the Broaddus family than the one which appears in the ori^nal History of
St. Mark^s Parish, but the copy was received too late to be in the first part of
this book.— R. T. G.]

The late distinguished Rev. John A. Broaddus, writing of his family a few
years previous to his death, says that the name Broaddus was originally. Broad-
hurst. Although of Anglo-Saxon origin, those who bear it,. tradition says, came
to the United States from Wales. The progenitor of the family in this coun-
try was Edward Broaddus, who settled on Gwynn's Island in thft Piankitank
river, near its junction with the Rappahannock. The exact time of his com-
jng is not known, but it must have been as early as the early part of the
18th century, as, in 1715, he moved to Caroline county, then King and Queen,
where he continued to reside up to the time of his death. Edward Broaddus
was twice married. The name of his first wife is unknown. That of his sec-
ond was Mary Shipley. The name of his children, by his first wife, are:
Thomas, Richard and Dolly. Those of his second wife were: John, William,
James, Shipley, Robin, and Elizabeth. These children of Edward Broaddus,
ana his two wives, have left a large number of descendants in Caroline and
•Culpeper counties, and in other portions of Virginia, and elsewhere through-
out the United States, some of whom have become men of prominence and
distinction, especially as educators and ministers of the gospel. Among these,
Andrew, th^ first of the name, Andrew, his son, both of whom were born, and
died, in Caroline county, Edmund, William F., his brother, and John A., son
^f Edmund, all three natives of Culpeper, may be notably mentioned.

While it is conceded that John A. was the most accomplished and schol-
'jirly man, wlio ever bore the name of Broaddus, even before he was bom, his
Caroline kinsman, Andrew, had begun to establish a reputation as an orator
of no mean order, notwithstanding his early education was very limited, hav-
ing attended school only nine months altogether. Uniting with the Baptist
church while quite young, he had barely become of age when he was ordained
as a minister of that denomination, and so strong was his intellect, so studi-
ous his habits;^ winning his deportment, so musical his voice, so captivating
the style of his '<&fibquence, that he soon became one of the most popular pul-
pit orators of his day, and his services were sought by his Baptist brethren all
over the State, especially at cam pmeetings, so common at that earlv time,
where his presence never failed to draw an immense crowd of interested and
eager listeners whenever it was known that he was to fill the pulpit. Al-
though Mr. Broaddus, during his long and popular ministry, except for a few
month* while in Richmond, Va., never had charge of any other than a country
church, it was not because his services were not appreciated in some of the lar-
gest cities of the United States, among them Baltimore, New York, Philadel-
phia, and Boston, from all of which he had calls at different times, none of
which he accepted, probably from a love for a retired and quiet life, and a
natural shrinking timidity which he possessed, and could never entirely over-
come. Besides his popularity as a preacher, Mr. Broaddus was also a writer
of much force and eloquence. During his life he wrote a number of works,
among others, a '^History of the Bible," which was received with much favor
by the religious public. Mr. Broaddus was married four times, and left a num-
ber of children, to only one of whom, his son, Andrew Jr., will the limits of
this sketch allow any reference to be made.

Andrew Broaddus, Jr., like his father, Andrew the elder, was a Baptist
minister, and, like him, of much ability, both as a speaker and a writer.

147
"While his Btyle of oratory was hardly as attractive as that of his father, still,
at times, when his mind was fully aroused to the importance of the subject
under investigation, and he took a personal interest in it, his thoughts would
he clothed in words of impassioned and burning eloquence. As a writer, Mr.
Broaddus was terse, clear and forcible. Besides having been a contributor to
the Religious Herald, and other religious papers for many years, he was the
author of a history of the Broaddus family, a work requiring much time, pa-
tience and labor, to which the writer of this sketch is indebted for much that
it contains. Like his father, Mr. Broaddus lived to be quite old. Both lived
and died in the same county where they were born, leaving the remarkable
record of having, for three generations, extending over the space of a cen-
tury, father, son and grandson, successfully occupied the same pulpit and
preached to the same people and and their descendants, a record that exists
no where else in Virginia, or the United States, if indeed in the world, one of
which any family might well be proud, and complimentary alike to pastor and
people. With this brief and imperfect notice of the two leading members
of the Caroline Broddus', let us now proceed to the more immediate purpose
of this sketch, the genealogy of the Culpeper branch of the family.

So far as is known the name of the first Broaddus to settle in Culpeper
county was William, the second son of Edward, the progenitor of the family in
this country, and his second wife, Mary Shipley. William Broaddus married
a Miss Gaines, who bore him three children: William, Thomas and James.
His first son, William, was a major in the Revolutionary army, and was twice
married, first to Mrs. Martha Jones, widow of Capt.. Gabriel Jones, the Revo-
lutionary soldier; they had four children: Kitty Wigginton, Juliet, Patsey
and William. Kitty married William Mills Thompson. The names of their
descendants will be found in the Thompson genealogy, pages 86-7 of part sec-
ond; Juliet married Col. Henry Ward. They had two children: William H., and
Woodville. William H., married Jane Roberts, a daughter of Major John
Roberts, of the Revolution, and had no children. Woodville moved to
Mississippi many years ago, and never married. Patsy married Merriwether
Thompson. Such of their descendants, as are known, will be found in the
Thompson genealogy, page 89 of second part.

The second wife of Major William Broaddus was Martha Richardson.
They had four children: Sarah Ann, Lavinia, Maria and Mary. In addition
to serving his country as a soldier, Major Broaddus was for many years clerk
of Culpeper county. Somewhat late in life he moved to Harper's Ferry,
where he filled some Federal office, paymaster in the army, it is believed, and
died there.

William, the only son of William Broaddus and the widow of Capt. Gab-
riel Jones, married Ann Tutt, who bore him two children: Juliet Ann and
William A. Juliet Ann married Edward Herndon. They had only one child,
a daughter, named Mary Eleanor, who married John Roberts. William A.
never married. Mr. Broaddus succeeded his father as clerk of Culpeper
county.

Thomas, the second son of William Broaddus, and brother of the first

clerk of Culpeper county, of that name, married Mrs. Susannah White. They

had three sons: Edmund, William F., and Andrew^ and two daughters, Lucy

and Maria. Edmund, the first son of Thomas, and Susannah Broaddus, was

twice married. His first wife was Nancy Sims. His second was Somerville

Ward. By his first wife he had the following children: James M., Martha

A.,'Caroline M., and John A. His second wife died childless.

Of the many men of prominence that Culpeper county has furnished, few
have possessed more merit and ability than Eclmund Broaddus. Born at a

148

time when schools were scarce and the most of them that existed, of the "Old
Field" order, he received only an ordinary education, yet so superior his intel-
lect, and studious his habits, that, even while comparatively a young man, as
a thinker and debater he took a prominent stand among the leading men of
his day. By vocation Mr. Broaddus was a farmer. He also taught a country
school for several years. In politics he was originally a Democrat, but left
that party upon the **Removal of the Deposits" by (d^en. Jackson, and afte^
wards became an **01d Line Whig," and a great admirer and earnest suppor
ter of Henry Clay. Mr. Broaddus was a man of modest demeanor, excellent
judgment, and rare insight into the character and motives of men. To the
latter, united with his ability as a speaker, and the thorough confidence of
his constituents, in his integrity, may be attributed the fact that, for twenty
years— with one or two exceptions, when he declined to be a candidate— he
represented the county of Culpeper in the House of Delegates, and was never
defeated in any race he made before the people. During his several terms of
office no member served his constituents more faithfully and eflBciently, and
none more thoroughly commanded the respect of his fellow members, and ex-
erted a greater influence over them. Like the most of his name, Mr. Broaddus
was a Baptist, and at the associations, and other general meetings of that
denomination, always took a prominent and leading part in their delibera-
tions, thus becoming an important factor in shaping the proceedings of these
bodies. He died in Charlottesville, Virginia, whither he had gone several
years prior thereto, mainly for the purpose of educating his son, the great
and good John A.

As before stated, it is conceded that the most accomplished and scholary
man ever produced by Culpeper county, and the greatest who ever bore the
Broaddus name, was the Rev. John Albert Broaddus, youngest child of Ed-,
mund Broaddus and Fanny Sims. His early education was conducted main-
ly by his father, and his sister Martha. Afterwards he became a pupil of that
excellent scholar and teacher, Albert G. Sims, who, for many years, tauj^ht
a highly popular boarding school near Culpeper C H. In 1846 Mr. Broaddus en-
tered the University of Virginia, and four years thereafter was graduated with
the highest honor of that noted institution. He was twice married. His first
wife was Maria Carter Harrison, daughter of Dr. Gessner Harrison, one of the
professors of his Alma Mater. His second wife was Charlotte E. Sinclair, of
Albemarle county. His children, by his first wife, were : Eliza Somerville,
Annie Harrison, and Maria Ijouisa. His children, by his second wife, were :
Samuel Sinclair, Caroline, Alice Virginia, Ella Thomas and Boyce. Mr. Broad-
dus commenced preaching in 1849, and was ordained in 1853. From 1851 to
1853 he was assistant instructor of Latin and Greek in the University, and at
the same time pastor of the Charlottesville Baptist church. For two years,
1855 and 1856, he acted as chaplain to the University. In 1859 he became Pro-
fessor in the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, then established at
Greenville, South Carolina. For some months in 1863, Mr. Broaddus preached
as a missionary in Gen. Lee^s army, but the exposure of camp life was too
great for the delicate state of his health, and he gave up the work and became
Corresponding Secretary to the Sunday School Board of the Southern Bap-
tist Convention, then established at Greenville to supply destitute schools.
The foregoing is the substance of a condensed sketch of Mr. Broaddus^ life,
down to the time it was written, prepared by himself for the Rev. Andrew's

book, **The Broaddus Family," and reproduced here. It is only necessary to
add that when the Theological Seminary was moved from Greenville, South
Carolina, to Louisville, Kentucky, in 1877, Mr. Broaddus continued to retain
the saii^e chair in that institution formerly occupied by him, and was after-

149
wards chosen as its President, the duties of which he continued to discharge
as long as he lived. Few men ever commenced the battles of life better pre-
pared for the struggle than John A. Broaddus. So splended was his intellect,
so excellent his early training, so thorough his collegiate course, so unexcep-
tionable his habits, and perfect his character, in a word so admirable and com-
plete his general equipment, that when he was graduated, with the highest
honors, by one of the first, if not the very first, literary institutions in the
country, it seemed that, with ordinary application and industry, failure
would be almost impossible. How manfully and successfully he met the issue
is fully attested by the splended record which he left behind him. A finished
scholar, an able and successful teacher, a chaste and beautiful writer, an
eloquent and convincing speaker, a good neighbor, a true friend, a faithful
and loving husband, an affectionate father, a sincere and devoted Christian,
he lived a life that, in itb rounded completeness few have equalled, very few ex-
celled, and, when the end came, peacefully passed to his great reward, leaving
a name that will live as long as the institution, of which he was the honored
head, if not the church itself, whose doctrines he so ably and eloquently
expounded. How much he was lamented by the people of Louisville, where
he died, is shown by the deep feeling which was manifested on that occasion;
all classes, conditions, and creeds uniting with each other in paying honor to
his memory, one of the ablest and most touching tributes being an address
by the Jewish Rabbi of that city, while the newspapers there, and in other por-
tions of Kentucky, and throughout the country generally, were full of eulogis-
tic notices of him as a Christian and a man.

William F., the second son of Thomas and Susannah Broaddus, like his
brother Edmund, received a very limited early education, but like him, so
strong was his intellect, so industrious his habits, and so eager his desire to
excel, that, through his own unaided efforts, he not only acquired a good
knowledge of books and their contents, but became a highly popular and
successful school teacher, both in Virginia and Kentucky. Like the most of
his name, he joined the Baptist church when young, and like quite a number;
not long afterwards was ordained a minister, teaching and preaching at the
same time. Commencing preaching and teaching in Virginia, where he had
a school and chui*ch at Middleburg, and other places at different times. Wm.
F. Broaddus afterwards moved to Kentucky and taught and preached in Lex-
ington and Shelbyville. .Leaving Kentucky and returning to Virginia, he re-
sumed his former vocation of teaching and preaching, which he continued un-
til he became somewhat advanced in years. Mr. Broaddus was twice married.
His first wife was Mary A. Farrow. His second wife being Mrs. Lucy E. Fleet.
The children of his first wife were : Edmund S., Amanda F., William H. C,
Mary L., Thomas E., and John F. His second wife had only one child, a
daughter, named Lucy Maria,

James, the third son of William Broaddus, and his wife. Miss Gaines, and
brother of William, the first clerk of the name of Culpeper county, was an en-
sign in the Revolution. He married Mary A. Ferguson. Their children wore:
Elizabeth, Catherine, William D., Sarah W., James G., and Susan C.

In conclusion it may be stated that while a few branches of the family
have, for convenience in writing, dropped one of the **d's" in spelling the
name, the most of them continue to spell it with two, as it was originally
written, and that whether spelled with one or two, all who bear it are of the
same blood, all being the descendants of Edmund Broaddus, the first settler
and progenitor of the family in this country.

THE BRYAN— LILLARD FAMILY.
[By Judppe D. A. Grimsley.]

Joseph Bryan settled in the county of Culpeper in 1753. He came from
King George county, and is supposed to have been the father of William Bry-
an, who was the great grand father of William Jennings Bryan now (1900) for
the second time the nominee of the Democrats for the presidency.

William Bryan lived near the town of Spemyville, now Rappahannock,
then Culpeper county, and was a large landowner. He died in 1806, leaving
the following children : 1. James; 2. John, m. Nancy Lillard; 3. William; 4.
Aquilla; 5. Lucy, m. Dunnaway; 6. Elizabeth, m. Baldeck.

The year following William Bryan's death, his lands were divided among
his children, and to his son, John, was allotted that portion lying near the
town of Sperryville The old Bryan house, on this tract, still stands in a good
state of preservation.

Nancy Lillard Bryan, the wife of John Bryan, was the daughter of John
Lillard, a soldier in the Revolutionary army, who lived in the Bryan neighbor-
hood.

Between 1810 and 1825 the Bryan family sold out their ancestral estates,
and moved west to Kentucky, Tennessee, and Ohio.

John Bryan, the grand father of Williams Jennings, left Virginia in 1826.
Silas Lillard Bryan, the father of Williams Jennings, was, at that time, four
years of age. John settled on the banks of the Ohio, near the mouth of the
Big Kanawha, where he and his wife, Nancy Lillard, died, the one in 1830, and
the other in 1885. After their death the family moved further West to Illi-
nois and Missouri. In 1840, Silas Lillard Bryan, the father of William Jen-
nings, went to live with an older brother in Missouri, who had before settled
in that state. From his home he attended school for a time, then went to
Marion county. III-., where he taught school for a year or so, then went to col-
lege, studied law, and began its practice in 1852, and soon rose to prominence
in the profession. He was a member of the constitutional convention, and of
the senate of the State of Illinois, and a circuit judge for a number of years.
He was the Democratic nominee for congress in 1862, but was defeated. He
was a mail of ability and high character, a devout Christian, and an uncom-
promising Democrat. He died about 1880, having the following children:

1. Fanny, m. Baird; 2. Williams Jennings, m. Baird, having Ruth,

William Jennings and Grace; 3. Charles, m. ; 4.*Mamie, m. Allen; 5.

Nanny, unmarried.

John Lillard, the father of Nancy Lillard Bryan, m. Miss Garrett, and be-
sides Nancy, had: 1. Silas Lillard, who went to Mississippi, became a wealthy
planter, and died without issue; 2. Capt. Benjaman Lillard, m. Elizabeth
Browning, d. 1867; 3. Malinda, m. Early Corbln, and died without issue; 4. A

daughter, m. .Stone; 5. A daughter, m Yates; 6. A daughter, m.

Shackelford, all three of whom went West.

Benjamin Lillard, who m. Elizabeth Browning, a daughter of Nicholas
Browning, had issue as follows: 1. Chas. H., moved to Miss., and m. Gar-
ley; 2. Lucy M., m. 1st James O'Baunon, having P. H. O^Bannon, m. Jose-
phine Miller, and Roberta J., m. Silas L. Cooper. Lucy M., m. 2nd Cornelias
Smith, by whom there were no children; 3. Margaret, m. William L. Brown-
ing, having Bettie A., m. Maj. D. A. Grimsley, Annie M., m. B. F. Bywatere,
Benjamin W., m. Ella Rixey, Lucy C, m. Capt. R. R. Duncan, Silas H., m.
Lizzie Simms, and Elocia, m. William Timberlake; 4. Silas B., m. Mildred
Duncan, having Laura, m. S. R. Browning, Lizzie, m. Geo. F. Pulliam, Lucy,
m. James Miller; 5. Virginia, died single; 6. William J., m. Virginia Browninf?,

151
daufirhter of Mason R. Browning, having Benjamin, Silas, Vernon, m. Frank

Jolliffe, Lena, m. Harrison, Roberta, ni. Funk; 7. Edwina C, lu.

Richard H. Browning, having Ophelia, m. William Lillard, Edward, m. and

lives in Missouri, Sally, m.. George Harrison, Frank, m. Denton and lives

in Missouri, Lessie, Jane, m. Richard Duncan, Robert Lee, Eva, and Lucy.

Note. All the Lillards of Culpeper and Rappahannock are probably re-
lated, and thus, through the Lillard family, related to the Bryans.

THE BROWNING FAMILY.
[By Judge D. A. Grimsley.]

John Browning, b. in England in 1594, came to Virginia in 1622 in ship
'^Abigail," and served in the House of Burgesses in 1629.

William Browning came to Virginia about 1623 in ship **Bona Nova." See
Hattoa^s list of American emigrants.

It is supposed that the Virginia Brownings descended from one, or both, of
the above, but the line of descent cannot be directly traced.

The Brownings appeared in Virginia soon after the settlement of the
Colony. One of them, as appears from Henning^s Statutes, was a member
of the House of Burgesses, but whether the Culpeper family is a descendant of
this man is not definitely known.

Francis Browning settled near Gaines X Roads, now Rappahan-
nock, in 1735. He is supposed to have come from Caroline county. One Thom-
as Browning also came to Culpeper about that time, but returned to Caroline.

In compiling the genealogy of the Browning family no effort has been
made to give the names and marriages of the present generation, nor has been
followed the line of descent of those who emigrated from this county to the
West, the descendants of whom are very numerous, and live in various States.
It is quite possible that some may have been overlooked, who died unmarried,
or emigrated previous to their marriage.

THE THOMAS FAMILY.
[By Mrs. Mary Duunica Micou.]

Without doubt the Thomas family of Orange county, and also that of Cul-
peper county, are descended from the earliest emigrant of that name, who
came to Essex county, or rather the one who patented land from Elizabeth
county, to Essex, from 1'537 to 1665, in all, about 3,400 acres. He is mentioned
first as William Ap. Thomas, and most of his grants are given to him for
bringing to this country, William Thomas and als, presumably his sons, as
William Thomas, aged 22, and Robert Thomas, aged 20, came to Virginia, in
June 1685, and John, aged 19, in July 1685. The way in which land patents
are taken out by these young men indicate that they were sons of William Ap.
Thomas, all being granted to them in the same neighborhood. Robert m. a
Miss Massie, and settled in Essex, having a son, Edward, m. Catherine Wil-
liamstm, (dau. of Henry Williamson). He established the Essex county fami-
ly, and lived at Thomas Neck, on the Rappahannock River; was Justice of
Peace in 1695, and High Sheriff in 1696; died in 1699. William Thomas, aged
22, in 1635, took out land in Northumberland county, and is called **William of
Yeocomooo." He was Justice of Northumberland county in 1656, and Bur-
gess of Surry county in 1652; he had land patents in every county trom Surry
to Essex county. He probably brought his wife from England, as he is grant-
ed land in Lancaster county, for transporting William Thomas and wife from
England. Her name was Rebecca, and she survived him, as she takes out let-
ters of administration in 1635. His son, John, was then 17 years of age, show-
ing that he was born in 1648. He died in 1710, leaving wife, Elizabeth, ch.: Rich-
ard, William, Peter, John, Elizabeth, Jane, Richard, who is mentioned as
son and heir of John Thomas, is undoubtedly the Richard Thomas who m,
Isabella Pendleton, dau. of Philip Pendleton, the emigrant. Richard and
Isabella Thomas both took out land in King and Queen and Spotsylvania
counties in 1728. Richard Thomas died in 1748, and his widow, Isabella, went
to live in Drysdale Paribh, Caroline county. Their children are uncertain as
to number and name. There is a Rowland Thomas and a Joseph Thomas
mentioned with her in deeds of land, but the relationship is not defined. It

sylvania, Hanoyer, Orange and King George countiee, betveeu 1725 and 1789.
In 1776 he was living m Bromfleld Parish, Culpeper connty. He died in 1782,
a very old man, having survived two of his sons, and having several great
grandchildren. He mentions itt his will the following children: Benjamin,

MISCELLANEOUS.

CHAPTER X.
GEN. LA FAYETTE IN CULPEPER.
Next to Washington, as a Revolutionary imtriot the memory of Li Pay
ette is cherished and aonored by Virginians.

The Marquis. Gilbert Mottier De La Fayette, was born on the Sth of 8ep^
tember, 1757, at Charagnac, in the ancient province of Auvergne. He was the
Sim of Cot. La Fayette who was killed in the battle of Minden two months before
the birth of La Fayette. His mother did not long survive her husband's deatb,
leaving La Fayette an infant, the heir to Immense estates. By his guardiaj,
he was sent, at the age of twelve, to college in Paris; at eighteen years of age
be married his wife, who was two years younger than himself, which marriai^
proved to be a happy co-partnership, the wife being truly a helpmeet and
promoter of the Independent views and plans of the husbaud — a worker for
mankind and individual liberty.

La Fayette was the founder of the national guard at Paris. On account
of this he encountered the opposition of the Royalists. He was in favor of

157
constitutional provernment, consequently he became the target of the Jaco-
bins, being arrested and tried for treason. At that time he saw, from afar,
the struggle our Colonies were making against the greedy encroachments of
England; being unable to help his own people, he determined to join forces
with America, and help to achieve her independence. When the news came,
and was hailed with joy by the Colonists, Lord Cornwallis spoke with con-
tempt, of his advent, calling him, in his dispatches to the Queen, a boy who
could easily be put down. But the prophesy was refuted by the surrender of
Cornwallis at York Town. For this **boy" took a prominent part in the final
overthrow of the English commander.

La Fayette made four separate visits to America; first in 1777; then in 1780,
after which he returned to bring money and men to aid the Colonists. His
third visit was in 1784 to enjoy the conclusion of peace. The last in 1825, when
he accepted the invitation of Congress to become the guest of the Nation. It
was during this visit that he was the guest of Culpeper. The town of Culpeper
sent a committee, composed of La Fayette's old comrades in arms. Col. Gabriel
Long and Capt. Philip Slaughter, to convey to him their invitation, he being,
at the time, at Monticello, the home of Jefferson, where he was meeting his
old friends, Madison, Monroe, William Wirt, and others. That evening be
journeyed, with Mr. Madison, to Montpelier, where the Culpeper committee
found him and delivered their invitation, which was accepted.

The next morning, with this committee, he took up his line of journey,
throughout which he received ovations from all classes of people, men, women,
and children coming out to greet him as he passed along. His journey was
near to the old Marquis road, which had been constructed by his troops when
on their way to York Town, and on which stood the historic La Fayette Oak,
which had been his shelter in '76. This tree was located near what is now
Rhodes vi lie, and known as La Fayette Station on the railroad from Orange to
Fredericksburg. A piece of this La Fayette Oak was recently made into a
plaque and sent to the unveiling of the La Fayette monument in Paris, as a
souvenir, presented by Mrs. Anne S. Green, of Culpeper, she having procured
a portion of the historical old tree from the Rev. R. R. Howison, historian, of
Virginia. A representation of this testimonial from Culpeper accompanies
this description of La Fayette's visit.

The party reached Crooked Run at about 10 o'clock on the 22nd. of Au-
gust, 182 J, where they were met by a company of horsemen, under the command
of Col. Jonathan Catlett Gibson, ladies in carriages, and citizens on foot. The
next stop was made at Greenwood, the home of Judge John W.
Green, of the Court of Appeals of Virginia. The guests went into
the house and partook of some refreshments, attended by
Mrs. Green, Mrs. Patton, Mrs. Slaughter, and others, after
which, the escort having dismounted and arranged themselves in a
double line at their horses' heads, La Fayette, at his own request, was intro-
duced to each man individually, Judge Green refreshing the entire party
with cool drinks of iced toddy, which was a favorite Virginia beverage in those
days. Resuming their march, the party reached Culpeper before two o'clock
and stopped at the Episcopal rectory, the home of the. Rev. Alonzo Welton,
remaining there an hour, when they were escorted to the Masonic Hall, where
Mr. John Shackelford eloquently addressed the multitude that had assembled
to greet the distinguished guest. After the address La Fayette received the old
soldiers, who were the veterans of '78, and who had come from far and near to
see him— from the hills and valleys of Culpeper and Orange, many of whom
had been members of the old Minute Men of Culpeper, who were among the
earliest to enlist in the fight for liberty and country.

158

After this came the great dinner, which was prepared under the direction
of Jere Strother, at the old Bell Tavern, the great bell in its front giving it its
name. No dining hall was spacious enough to accommodate the guests, so
the banquet was held under a tent in the garden, which required five hun-
dred yards of brown linen to construct. And under this grand canopy the La
Payette banquet was held. Meats were barbecued in every style — in pits and
on spits. There were roasted pigs, ducks, turkies, hams, and everything els*
to correspond. Thirty toasts were drank. Lovely maidens, in white, were
the waitresses, one of them. Miss Sal lie Barbour, reciting a poem. Mrs. Ger-
aldine Lightfoot, Misses Sarah and Ann Norris were also among them. Years
ago Miss Sarah Norris gave the writer an account of this event, in which she
recalled the dessert of nuts, etc., and the filbert that La Fayette put in his
mouth, which, proving a nut that he could not crack, he laid beside his plate,
and was secured by her as a souvenir of the hero. A ball at night in the
Masonic Hall wound up the day, La Fayette leaving next morning for Warren-
ton, having many citizens and military as his escort, among whom were Cols.
Gibson and Storrow, Judge Green and others. On his visit to Culpeper deu.
La Fayette was accompanied by ex- President Monroe.

THE PRESBYTERIANS OP CULPEPER.

[By G. D. Gray.J

The Presbyterian church of Culpeper was organized in 1813, consisting
then of 24 members.

On the 14th of April, 1815, Samuel Da vies Hoge, father of the late Dr.
Moses D. Hoge, of Richmond, was installed as the first pastor. He had been
supplying the pulpit for about two years previous to that time. He contin-
ued to be the pastor for several years. Who succeeded him as pastor, or stat-
ed supply, is not known, but in 1832, Rev. A. D. Pollock became their stated
supply, and continued to be such till some time in 1837, when Rev, John J.
Royall became their stated supply. The church, at that time, comprised the
counties of Culpeper, Madison, Orange, Spotsylvania and Rappahannock, and
had over 50 members. Among them were the following:

Elders: William Kemper, father of Governor Kem]>er, John Glassell.
Members: Elizabeth Slaughter, Lucy Ashby, Mary Somerville, Maria Kemper,
Irena P. Green, Sarah Freeman, Lucy Gordon, Betsy Gordon, M. G. Spots-
wood, Hannah Grymes, Betsy Shackleford, Anne Robertson, Mildred Smith,
Cecilia Wallace, Sarah C. Barbour, Mary H. Somerville, Mrs. Susan Thorn-
ton, Fanny Shackleford, William Glassell, Walter Somerville, John Ashby,
William Ashby, Miss Duncanson, Marion Glassell, Elizabeth Lee, Louisa
B. Glassell, Elizabeth Ashby, Emily Ashby, Mary Anne Wallace, Mrs.
Martin Slaughter, Mrs. H. Strother, Mrs. Mary Ann Strother,
Harriet P. Strother, Henry Strother, Aylette Buckner, Mary
Rolls, Robert Deatherage, Mrs. Deatheiage, George Thom, Jane
Nelson, Susan Nelson, Elizabeth Nelson, Harriet P. Spot* wood, Mary Frances
Thornton, Elizabeth Thornton, Mrs. Nancy Shivers, Miss Calvert, Mrs. Jett,
Mrs. Sally Grimes, Miss Sally Grymes, Mrs. Nellie Skiiiker, Miss Agnes Keui-
XJer, and Miss Sarah Kemper.

Mr. Royall continued to supply the pulpit of this church till the month of
December, 1855, when Rev. A. I). Pollock again became the stated supply,
and continued this relation with the church till the year 1867, when he re-
signed, and, at his request, Rev. Robert L. McMurran was invited to take his
place. The house of worship, situated at the northern end of Main street,
had been destroyed during the war between the States, the lot sold, and
money invested in the lot on which the present building was erected, which

159
was built in the year 1808. The congregation occupied their new church
building in March, 1869, for the first time. Rev. Mr. McMurran continued to
occupy the position of stated supply till some time in the year 1870, when
Rev. K. T. Berry took his place and occupied the pulpit till September, 1871.
The church was without a pastor or stated supply till January, 1874, when
Rev. W. W. Reese became the supply which position he held till January,
1876, when he was elected and installed pastor, which office he held till Sep-
tember, 187^. In 1877 Rev. Samuel K. Winn was elected and installed pastor,
and he continued as such till April, 1879, when he resigned to accept a call to
Petersburg. The church pulpit was again vacant till May, 1881, when Rev.
J. P. Strider was installed pastor, which position he filled till October, 1883,
when he resigned to accept a call to Savannah, Ga. The church was left
again without any stated ministry till April, 1886, when Rev. Edward Eells
was elected and installed pastor, which office he held till October 1887. From
October, 1887, to May, 1839, the pulpit was again vacant. From May, 1889, to
March, 1894, Rev. R. R. Howisou supplied the pulpit From October, 1894 to
October, 1895, the pulpit was filled by Rev. T. R. Sampson, D. D., after which

time there was no stated supply till April, 1896, when Rev. J. Louis McClung
was elected pastor. Mr. McClung declined the call a» pastor but has contin-
ued to supply the pulpit to the present time, November, 1900. The present
number of members is 40.

REGARDING THE GERM ANN A SETTLEMENT.

[Mr. Willis M. Kemper, of Cincinnati, Ohio, author of the **Kemper Gene-
alogy," has recently (Sept., 1900) been on a visit to Germany, and has furnish-
ed the following concerning the old settlement of Germanna. — R. T. G.]

Several years prior to 1714 Gov. Spotswood discovered deposits of iron ore
on the large tracts of land he had entered, where Germanna was afterwards
located, in Spotsylvania (now Orange) county. He spent much time arranging
his plans to work this one, and in getting the Queen^s (Ann) permission, and
in having the royal share determined. After these matters were adjusted he
needed iron miners and iron workers, to mine the ore, and build furnaces and
run them, and there were none in Virginia. When the Baron de Graffenreid
was in Virginia after his escape trom the North Carolina Indian massacre, he
arranged with Spotswood to get miners for him from Germany, and with this
in view de Graffenried wrote to miners with whom he was acquainted in Ger-
many, and arranged for their coming to Virginia. The colony was gathered
from the neighborhood of the village of Musen in the province of Nassau —
Siegen, in Westphalia, some ten miles Northeast of the old city of Seigen.
This is a mining country, and at Musen is one of the most celebrated iron
mines in Germany, which has been worked since early in the 14th century.
The colony, as it reached Virginia, was composed of twelve heads of families,
viz: John Kemper, Jacob Holtzclaw, John and Harman Fishback, John Hoff-
man, Harmon utterback, Tillman Weaver (Webber), John Joseph Martin,

(Merdteu), Peter Hitt (Heide), Jacob Coons (Countz), Wayman and

Handback. The colony may have been larger when it left Germaily,

for it silent the greater part of the fall of the year 171fi, and January, 1714,
in London, and some names are mentioned which do not appear in Virgiua.
There also came, either with them or very shortly after them, their pastor,
John Henry Hager, a very learned man, who had been pastor of the
reformed church at Ober Fishback, in the neighborhood of Musen. This was
the first German colony that cwme to Virginia, and they were settled by Gov.
Spotswood at Germanna in April, 1714, where cabins and a block house were
built for them. They went to mining ore for the governor, and built the blast
furnace, the remains of which are to be seen in the neighbor-
hood. Here they remained for several years, when, owing to
some dissatisfaction with the governor's treatment of them,
they removed, al)out 1720, to Germantown, in what is now Fanquier
county, where they leased large tracts of lands and went to farming. By this
time other German colonies had come to Virginia, some of which had to pay
their passage by working for the governor. The reformed part of these emi-
grants, with their old pastor, went to Germantown, Fauquier, while the Luth-
eran part of the colonists went a little later to Robinson's river. A recent visit

160

to Musen shows it a prettily situated village of about 2,000 people in a narrow
valley. It has prrown up around the old mine, still worked. The parish was
cut off from the neiprhborinp: parish of Femdorf, in the wider valley nearer
Sief?en, in 1727. The little reformed church, built about that time, was de-
stroyed, in the 80 years war, with all of its records. The church was rebuilt
nnd the new records begin 1649. The church was again destroyed by fire in
1892, but the records were saved. The entire village attends this church; there
is not a Catholic in the town. The villages of Fishback and Holtzclaw are a
few miles to the West of Musen. No doubt the families, in the colony, of those
names came from these villages. The records of the Kemper family is to he
found in the church records at Musen. There is no one by the name at Mu-
sen today. Utterbacks and Webbers are still living in Musen. The names
of Hoffman, Merdten and Countz are still to be found in the neighborhood. The
name Heide is still to be found in the meadows about Ferndorf. No doubt
old records of some of these families can be found at Ferdorf. Siegen is the
large town in this part of the country, and is a picturesque old place, with its
old castle high on a hill, its steep narrow winding streets, and high gabled, ov-
erhanging houses, and is a thrifty place of some 25,000 people, largely engaged
in iron manufacturing. The Westphalian country is one of the most thrifty in
Germany. Musen is a clean little town, with neaj} houses, intelligent people,
and a respectable air about it. These German fairmers soon made the wilder-
ness about Germantown to blossom as the rose, and Germanitown was for years
the center of the German people, and known far and wide.

THE CULPEPER OF TO-DAY.

[To be read in conjunction with page 11, of Part II, which was written in
April, 1899.]

Now (O^ctober, 1900.) the municipal goverment is : Mayor, Alden Bell; Re-
corder and Assessor, G. Chapin Lightfoot; Treasurer, G. W. Keerl; Council-
men, R. F. Bootoxi, David Bailey, Samuel Diener, A. M. Allan, J. S. Coving-

Rixey, proprietor: and the Second National Bank, C. J. Rixey, President.

Among the lawyers D. J. F. Strother has removed to West Virginia, and
Messrs. Alden Bell and E. S. Perry are now members of the Culpeper bar. S.
M. Newhonse, having succeeded S. R. McClanahan, is now the Culpei)er mem-
ber of the House of Delegates.

THE FIRST COUNTY COURT.

The earliest county court held for Culpeper county, as shown by the deed
books, the first mmute book having been lost, was on the 18th day of May, 1749,
without the place being mentioned. On another of the first pages of the first
deed book it appears that court was held on Thursday, June 15, 1749, at the
residence of Robert Coleman.

74 to 1893. 18 years; 10. Warren K. Coons, 1893 (still serving).

The deed books of the countv are intact from 1719. Three of the will books
*'(^," from April 1. 1813, to June 17, 1817, V*L," and *^M,'' from 1827 to 1833, were
lost during the war beween the States, as were also several of the County
Court Minute books.

TOWN OF CULPEPER LAID OUT.

Pursuant to an act of the General Assembly, passed at a session held in
Williamsburg on the 22nd. of Feburary, 1759, the town of Fairfax (Culpeper's
original name) was laid off on 27 acres of the land of Robert Coleman, the
Court House being located on lot No. 24 (which is now the corner of Davis
and Main [or Coleman] streets, where stands the store building of Joseph
Messinger), the prison and stocks on lot No. 14 (opposite corner, on which is
now Joseph B. (Worrell's building). The Town was laid off bv William Green,
Philip Slaughter, Nathaniel Pendleton, and William Williams, the plan be-
ing submitted to the County Court on Thursday, June 21, 1759, and ordered
to be recorded.

INDEX TO MARRIAGE RECORD.

:ooo:

The marriaf?e record, beginning on page 56 of the second part, and ending
on page 74, is printed in alphabetical order, according to the name of the hus-
band. Owing to its great length the reverse was not printed, but the names
of the wives are given in the following index. The following omissions were
inadvertently made in the record :

Leroy Cooper m. Harriet Byron Vaughn in 1808.

Daniel Grimsley m. Frances Estes in 1796.

William Grimsley m. Agnes Norman in 1807.

[In looking up names in the following index, please note that where a name
appears more than once on a page, it is only indexed once, hence it will be well
to always look through tiie entire page. The names are printed exactly as
they appear in the record, but in a number of instances it can be seen that
they are wrongly spelled, and in a majority of cases, can be detected.]

INDEX TO NAMES.

When a name appears more than once on a page, it is only indexed once,
consequently it will always be well to look through the entire page when in
search of a name. All surnames are indexed. The names appearing in the
marriage record are not included in this index, as the record itself is arranged
in alphabetical order, according to the names of the husbands, and the names
of the wives are given in a separate index. Where there is great similarity in
the spelling of a name, only one way is given in the index. For instance both
*'Stark ' and "Starke" are indexed under the head of *'Starke." The word
**will" following a name in the index signifies that notes from a will, or wills, can
be found on the page specified. *'I" signifies Part First; '*II" signifies Part
Second. Where figures appear thus : '423-128," it signifies that the name
specified appears on pages 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, ind 128.
