During its seventy-eight years of history, the Church has grown from a membership of twenty-seven, to an enrollment of three hundred and sixty; and, from the modest contribu- tions of those early days, to an annual budget of about $12,- 000, and is now the second largest Church in the Presbytery, Charlottesville ranking first.
It would appear that the Farmville Church, before the War between the States, had an endowment, as was true of some other churches in this section, and that this endow- ment consisted largely in slaves; of course the Church lost its endowment with the close of the war. This perhaps, seemed a great loss to the congregation at that time, but, doubtless, was a great blessing in disguise, as has been pro- ven in so many other cases where a Church has lost its en- dowment.
Many of the names of those twenty-seven charter mem- bers still appear on the roll of the Church, in their descend- ants, as officers and members of the Church, who are worthily. carrying on the work which their fathers and mothers so bravely began. And this old Church, which has waxed stronger as the decades have gone by, bids fair to render a more glorious service in the future than it has in the past; for, to the manhood of old age, it adds the lustiness of youth.
(Note: With some unimportant alterations, the above most excellent record was furnished by the Rev. C. F. Rankin. It would appear that some substantial grounds for the tradi- tion that this congregation was formed in 1828, exists in the probability that that date is meant to mark the time when Presbyterian services were first held in Farmville in connec-

COLLEGE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, HAMPDEN- SIDNEY
This Church was first organized under the name, "Han- over Church," which name was subsequently changed by the Presbytery to "College Church," and is located at Hampden- Sidney, in the immediate vicinty of the College, and is, of course, the College Church.
On the 20th of October, 1835, "Hanover Church," (the present "College Church") was organized under orders of Presbytery, by a division of "Cumberland Church," which formerly embraced the territory and the membership of the present "Cumberland Church," the "College Church," and the Farmville Church, with the following officers: First pastor, the Rev. Benjamin M. Staunton, D. D., who was ordained in 1835; ruling elders: Major James Morton, Dr. Goodrich Wilson, Moses Tredway, Armistead Burwell, James Madison, John Rice, Silas Biglow, Clement C. Read, Samuel Lyle, Samuel C. Anderson.
This new organization included ruling elders, Dr. Good- rich Wilson, Col. James Madison, Col. John Rice, Clement Read, Samuel Lyle, and Samuel C. Anderson.
The Church thus organized embraced "College Church" proper, and the Farmville Church, and so continued until the 21st of December, 1844, when a portion of the members of this Church was organized as a Church to be known as the Farmville Church.
On the 1st of May, 1840, the following were elected rul- ing elders: Henry E. Watkins, Dr. Peyton R. Berkeley, Nathaniel E. Venable, and Thomas Flournoy, Mr. Flournoy subsequently removed to the neighborhood of Farmville, and it is believed, never acted as elder in the College Church.
On the 1st day of March, 1845, at a meeting of the Han-
285

over congregation, held at College Church, agreeable to previous notice, the following were elected as ruling elders: Asa D. Dickinson, John Hughes, Dr. B. F. Terry.
In September of 1856, the following were elected deacons in this Church, being the first of that class of officers: Robert C. Anderson, James A. Womack, John A. Dalby. At the same time Abraham C. Carrington was elected ruling elder.
In December 1859, Edwin Edmunds, Henry C. Guthrie, and Henry Stokes, were elected ruling elders.
In May, 1860, A. R. Venable and Charles Baskerville were elected deacons. On the 12th of August, 1871, Louis L. Holladay and Andrew R. Venable were elected to the elder- ship, while Henry W. Edmunds and John M. Venable were made deacons.

COLORED CHURCHES
The author is indebted for the following very excellent sketch of the colored churches of the county, to the Rev. P. W. Price, who, besides serving a group of colored Baptist churches, is the principal of a large colored school in Farm- ville. The sketch is presented almost verbatim as prepared by him.
There are at present in the county of Prince Edward, twenty colored churches, with an approximate membership of 5,665; namely : Alabama; Beulah A. M. E .; Calvary; First Baptist, Farmville; First Rocks; High Bridge; High Rock; Levi; Mercy Seat; Mount Zion; Mount Moriah; Monroe; New Hope; New Witt; Peaks; Prospect A. M. E .; Race Street, Farmville; Sulphur Springs; Triumph; and Zion Hill.
The oldest of these, and the churches from which most of the others sprang, are, First Baptist, Farmville; Mount Zion; Sulphur Springs; Triumph; and New Hope. These were organized by colored members from white churches of which they were members before the emancipation, and in some instances with the aid and advice of the white friends who were members of the churches from which they ob- tained their letters of dismission to form the exclusive col- ored churches.
The value of the colored church property is about $37,- 000. These churches pay to their pastors about $5,300 an- nually. To Foreign Missions they pay about $300, and to Home Misssions (most of which is used in the county to help build schools and pay teachers,) about $19,000.
A few of the consecrated pioneers who have nursed these churches during their earlier years, often men of limited education, but men with fixed faith in God, were Revs. John White; Carter Braxton; Robert Watkins; Armis- tead Burkley; and Nelson Jordan.

THE SCHOOLS OF PRINCE EDWARD
HAMPDEN-SIDNEY COLLEGE
This institution, a College for men, originated as an Academy, established by the Presbytery of Hanover, 1774- 1775, and known as "Prince Edward Academy," and for- mally opened, January 1, 1776.
The circumstances leading up to its establishment were briefly these :
Virginia was at the first settled by Englishmen, most of whom were members of the Church of England, now called the Episcopal Church. Dissenters were very few in number, but grew steadily, so that some years previous to the Revo- lutionary War, they had become a rather considerable body. They possessed no independent institution of higher learning, William and Mary, then the only College in the state, being under the control of the Episcopalians.
At about this time, the Rev. Samuel Davies, of Hanover county, with other of like mind, formed the Hanover Pres- bytery of the Presbyterian Church. The bulk of the Presby- terians in the lower part of the state, were then residing in Prince Edward and the nearby counties. This newly formed Presbytery determined to found an institution more in sym- pathy with their ideals than William and Mary, and did so at about the above date.
The Academy was organized into a College and chartered in 1783. It received its name from those two valiant cham- pions and martyrs of liberty John Hampden and Algernon Sidney. When established, it was dependent upon private munificence, and has continued from its inception to be sup-
.

ported by private benefactions. Next to William and Mary. it is the oldest College in the South.
The many fine buildings of the College, occupy an ele- vated, healthy, and attractive situation seven miles from Farmville and about eighty miles from Richmond. The vil- lage of Hampden-Sidney and the College buildings are lighted by electricity supplied from Farmville. At the present time there are seventeen buildings in the College group, residences included, and the grounds comprise some two hundred and twenty-six acres, with one hundred and thirty and six-tenths acres still to come from the Venables' estate.
It is said that more instructors have come from this insti- tution, than from any other in the Southern States.
The Presidents of Hampden-Sidney College, since its inception, are as follows:
Rev. Samuel Stanhope Smith, D.D., LL.D., 1775-1779.
Rev. John Blair Smith, D.D., 1779-1789.
Rev. Drury Lacy, D.D., 1789-1797.
Rev. Archibald Alexander, D.D., LL.D., 1797-1806.
Rev. Moses Hoge, D.D., 1807-1820.
Jonathan P. Cushing, A.M., 1821-1835.
Rev. Daniel Lynn Carroll, D.D., 1835-1838.
Rev. William Maxwell, LL.D., 1838-1844.
Rev. Patrick J. Sparrow, D.D., 1845-1847.
Rev. Lewis W. Green, D.D., 1848-1856.
Rev. John M. P. Atkinson, D.D., 1857-1883.
Rev. Robert McIlwaine, D.D., LL.D., 1883-1904.
Rev. James Gray McAllister, D.D., 1905-1908.

Rev. Henry Tucker Graham, D. D., 1908-1917.
Joseph DuPuy Eggleston, A.M., LL.D., 1919.
The broken periods in the above line. were filled by Com- mittees and Acting Presidents, the following serving in one or other of these capacites: William S. Reid, D.D., 1807; Messrs. M. Lyle, James Morton, William Berkeley, John Miller, J. P. Wilson, 1820-1821; George A. Baxter, D.D., 1835; S. B. Wilson, D.D., F. S. Sampson, D.D., 1847-1848; Charles Martin, A.B., 1848-1849, 1856-1857; Rev. Albert L. Holladay (Died before taking office), 1856; James R. Thornton. A.M., 1904; William H. Whiting, Jr., A.M., 1904-1905, 1908-1909; J. H. C. Bagby, Ph.D., 1906; Ashton W. Mcwhorter, A.M., Ph.D., 1917-1919.
Amongst the notable names in the long and honorable history of Hampden-Sidney, none shine with greater bril- liance than that of the Rev. Samuel Stanhope Smith, to whom is given the credit for the founding of the original Prince Edward Academy. He was a native of Lancaster county, Penna., and a graduate of the College of New Jersey, of the class of 1769. He subsequently united with the Presbytery of Hanover, Virginia, and so pressed the cause of education as to make his name historic in the early annals of the Common- wealth. He was the first Rector of the Academy, and, under his control and direction, and stirred by his almost magical influence, it attained a remarkable prosperity. He resigned in October, 1779, in order to accept the professorship of Moral Philosophy in his Alma Mater in New Jersey, and his broth- er, the Rev. John Blair Smith, was appointed to succeed him. He was the last Rector of the Academy, and the first President of the College proper. These two remarkable men, brothers, exerted a permanent and lasting influnce upon the religious and the educational life of the Commonwealth.
It is worthy of note that not so much respect for "moral
296
History of Prince Edward County
suasion" was entertained at Hampden-Sidney in those early days, as to exclude at least occasional recourse to corporeal punishment. This form of punishment was generally re- served for the members of the grammar school, but the su- perior dignity of the Sophomores and the Juniors was not always safe from invasion, though the Collegiate classes were usually exempt.
It is also worthy of note that in the early financial prob- lems of the institution, the trustees did not hold back from accepting the friendly aid of the lottery schemes, at that time flourishing. At so late a date as 1797, at a meeting of the Board, upon the occasion of the installation of Dr. Archi- bald Alexander, afterwards the founder of the Theological School of Princeton, as President of the College, a petition to the General Assembly of the state for a lottery to be conducted in favor of Hampden-Sidney, was most gravely approved and recorded !
From 1776, through to 1820, the Academy, and later the College, were enabled to exist through the union of the pas- toral office with the Presidency of the school; the President of the College being later installed as Pastor of the Prince Edward and Cumberland Churches. In 1820 that union was permanently dissolved.
The Hanover Presbytery was determined in its choice of the site for the school, by the liberality of Peter Johnston of Prince Edward county, who donated about one hundred acres of land in his county for the purposes of Prince Ed- ward Academy. The land was situated in the tobacco-grow- ing section, where money currency had but limited circula- tion. This Peter Johnston, of Longwood, was a Scotchman, and a member of the Scottish Episcopal Church. He was the friend and correspondent of the father of Sir Walter Scott, and was the adjutant of General Lighthorse Harry Lee's famous Legion during the Revolutionary War. His
297
History of Prince Edward County
son, Peter Johnston, was a member of the first class of the institution, and was the father of the famous Gen. Joseph E. Johnston of Virginia fame.
Among the Trustees of the original Academy may be noted the names of James Madison (1751-1836) fourth Presi- dent of the United States, and Patrick Henry (who is be- lieved to have drafted the college charter) subsequently Gov- ernor of Virginia. These names, amongst others, indicate that the institution was a product of the struggle for reli- gious and civil liberty.
The legislative government of the College was originally vested in twenty-seven Trustees, who had authority to fill all vacancies occurring in their own body. The following is a partial list of the original incorporators and trustees: Rich- ard Sankey, John Todd, Samuel Leake, Caleb Wallace, Peter Johnston (donor of the land), Col. Paul Carrington, Col. John Nash, Jr., Capt. John Morton, Capt. Nathaniel Venable, Col. Thomas Read, James Venable, Francis N. Watkins. The following were subsequently added to this number: Rev. David Rice, Col. Patrick Henry, Col. John Tabb, Col. William Cabell, and Col. James Madison, Jr.
The College succeeded the Academy in 1783 by Act of the General Assembly, of that date, and the following were noted as the incorporators: Rev. John Blair Smith, Patrick Henry, William Cabell, Sr., Paul Carrington, Robert Law- son, James Madison, John Nash, Nathaniel Venable, Francis Watkins, John Morton, Thomas Reade, William Booker, 'Thomas Scott, Sr., James Allen, Charles Allen, Samuel Woodson Venable, Joseph Parke, Richard Foster, Peter John- ston, Rev. Richard Sankey, Rev. John Todd, Rev. David Rice, Rev. Archibald McRobert, Everard Meade, Joel Watkins, James Venable, and William Morton.
By an Amendment to the Charter, secured February,
298
History of Prince Edward County
1919, the number of trustees was reduced to twenty-five, and vacancies occurring in the Board to be filled by the Synod of Virginia.
The following constitute the Board of Trustees at the present time (1921) : J. B. Bittinger, D.D., Charles A. Blanton, M.D., J. E. Booker, D.D., W. C. Campbell, D.D., A. B. Carrington, A. B. Dickinson, Hon. Don P. Halsey, J. Nat Harrison, Hon. H. R. Houston, Hon. F. B. Hutton, Paulus A. Irving, M.D., Hon. C. P. Janney, Col. C. C. Lewis, Jr., F. T. McFaden, D.D., H. W. Mclaughlin, D.D., W. W. Moore, D.D., LL.D., J. Scott Parish, Col. John H. Pinner, W. H. T. Squires, D.D., Ernest Thompson, D.D., Hon. James L. Treadway, Hon. E. Lee Trinkle, A. L. Tynes, M.D., Hon. A. D. Watkins, B. F. Wison, D.D.
The literary degrees conferred under the Charter, were first bestowed, September 22nd, 1786, at which time the de- gree of A. B. was awarded Kemp Plummer, David Meade, James Watt, Ebenezer McRoberts, Thomas McRoberts, Nash LeGrand, and John W. Eppes, seven in all. The last two distinguished themselves in after life, the one as an Evangel- ist, the other as a member of Congress.
The following compose the Faculty of the institution at the present time :
Joseph DuPuy Eggleston, A.M., LL.D., President. (See, "Who's Who in Prince Edward.")
A. W. McWhorter, A.M., Ph.D. Dean.

Despite the fact that repeated efforts have been made to secure an adequate endowment, it is a fact that Hampden- Sidney has today the smallest endowment of any standard College in the whole Southland.
Founded in faith and prayer, it makes a confident appeal to the aid and loyalty of its constituency; the whole of the United States of America !
The usual Societies and Fraternities flourish among the students.
Athletics also flourish, a fine athletic field of some five 1 or six acres-Venable Field-immediately adjoins the college buildings.
A fine library of some 15,000 volumes is available to the student.
The present enrollment of the College is one hundred and eighty.
Some four hundred former students of Hampden-Sidney saw service during the Great World War, eleven of whom made the Supreme Sacrifice.

UNION THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY
This institution originated in the efforts of the Han- over Presbytery and the Synod of Virginia, to give the can- didates for their ministry a more complete theological train- ing than was then available. Such efforts were put forth as early as 1812, but it did not get into regular operation until 1824. It was located in the immediate vicinity of Hampden- Sidney. It had a very successful history but was moved to Richmond in 1898. Many of the most successful ministers of the Presbyterian Church look back with fond recollections to the years spent at the Union Theolgical Seminary while it was located in Prince Edward County.
To the Rev. John Holt Rice, D.D., born November 28, 1777, and who died in Prince Edward County, September 2, 1831, belongs the credit for the founding of this institution. He was then an instructor at Hampden-Sidney. It was at the head of the Seminary that he passed his last years. He was famous as an orator of unusual powers and as a writer of ease, fertility and force.

STATE FEMALE NORMAL SCHOOL
On March 5th, 1839, the Legislature of Virginia incor- porated "The Farmville Female Seminary Association." Messrs. W. C. Flournoy; James E. Venable; Thomas Flour- noy; William Wilson; George Daniel; Willis Blanton; and James Ely were the incorporators. The capital stock was $30,000, to be divided into 300 shares each, of the par value of $100: (Acts of 1839, page 120).
By deed dated May 26th, 1842, George Whitfield Read and Charlotte his wife, in consideration of $1,400, conveyed to "The Farmville Female Seminary Association," lots Nos. 105 and 107 containing one acre of land. These lots were the same which James Madison, trustee for Josiah Chambers, had, in consideration of $1,250, conveyed to George W. Read by a deed dated April 3rd, 1836. For these deeds see Deed Book 22, page 56, and Deed Book 23, page 384.
While excavating for the foundation of a new building that was erected for the State Female Normal School, in 1897, the Corner Stone in the old building of the Farmville Female Seminary, above referred to, was dug up and opened. There was no box in the stone, but a hole about 4 by 5 inches, and 3 inches deep. Across the top of this hole was a silver plate, bearing the following inscription :
Farmville Female Academy Built by Joint Stock Company, A. D. 1839.
Inside of the hole was a copy of the New Testament, a newspaper, three silver coins-5, 10, and 25 cent pieces-and a Masonic emblem or badge. The back was all that remained of the New Testament, and the letters on that faded away a few minutes after being exposed to the air. A piece of the newspaper about an inch square could be read.
302
History of Prince Edward County
This original building was completed in 1842 and was at once occupied and used for the purposes for which it was erected. It was at this time that the final payment of the purchase price of the property was made.
Solomon Lee, Esq., was first in charge as Principal. He was followed after a few years by his brother, Rev. Lorenzo Lee. A northern man named Coburn, and remembered main- ly as the possessor of a very long nose, succeeded him. Then in 1850 Mr. John B. Tinsley succeeded to the office of Princi- pal, and was succeeded in rather rapid succession by two men named Gould and Lamont, respectively. About 1860 Mr. A. Preot, Esq., assumed the reins and remained some nine or ten years, which included the difficult years of the war and the more difficult years of the Re-Construction Period that succeeded. A Rev. Mr. Crawley conducted a school there for one year during 1871 or 1872. He was succeeded by the Rev. Paul Whitehead, who was followed for a short term by a Miss Carter.
