Benealogies
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 these families are more extended than those of others, 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 inter- lock 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 good 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 un- natural and irrational to attach more value to the pedigrees of horses and herds than to the pedigrees of men and women, One end of history is to repro- duce the past for the gratification and instruction of the present ; and it is surely (at least) an innocent 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 Aber- deen as early as 1357. He was the author of the historical poem on the Life and Actions of King Robert Bruce. Whether he was the root in Scot- land 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 division of the parish in 1740, which threw him into the new parish of St. Thomas 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 Ist 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 Fleet- wood in Culpeper, and of Thomas, Richard, and Gabriel, of whom the last three migrated to Ken- tucky. 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 Petersburg, and their children are, 1st. John S. Barbour, President of the Virginia Midland Railroad, who married a daughter of Henry Danger-

Their child- ren were, 1st. Dr. Richard, and 2d. Thomas, who died in their youth ; 3d. Hon. Philip P. Barbour, Speaker 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 : 1st. Philippa, who married Judge Field of Culpeper ; 2d. Elizabeth, who married John J. Ambler of Jacquelin Hall, Madison County ; 3d. Thomas, M. D., who married Catherine Strother of Rappahannock County, be 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.

4th 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 John-

Benjamin Johnson Barbour, born June 14th, 1821, and married November 17th, 1844, Caroline Homoesel, daughter of the late eminent Dr. George Watson of Richmond. Mr. Barbour inherits the genius. of his father, in- formed 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 Virginia of that year were not admitted to their seats. 4th. Lucy, daughter of Governor Barbour, married (1822) John Seymour Taliaferro, who was unhappily drowned in 1830; 5tb. Frances Cornelia Barbour married William Handy Collins, a distinguished lawyer of Baltimore.
Among the daughters of Col. Thos. Barbour were : 1. Lucy, who married Thos. Newman and had three daughters, Mrs. Macon, Mrs. Welch, and Wilhelmina, 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.

Leake, Mrs. William Anderson, Mrs. R. W. Anderson, and Mrs. Cowles. Mary, daughter of Thomas 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 Rapidan 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 present owner from a grant known as the "Todd Grant," from the Crown of England.
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.

THE CAVE FAMILY.
Among the members of the first vestry of St. Mark's in 1731 was Benjamin Cave. I have in my possession the original patent for 1000 acres of land on the Rappidan (sic) River, to Abraham Bledsoe and

THE CAVE FAMILY.
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 Williamsburg, 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 the 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, however, that the family ad- hered 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 modern people think had no religion, giving utterance to her pious cmotions in songs which are evidently the outpourings of a truly devo- tional spirit. It is said that Benjamin 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 him.

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 1683 he addressed to the Royal Society in England, at their request, several letters 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, fulness 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 advantages 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 an inexhaustible 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 bis parochial 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 communicants.
There is John Clayton at Williamsburg, Attorney General, and a friend of Spotswood, who accom- panied Mr. Fontaine in the first trip to Germanna in 17.14 .. 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 clergymen 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 bcen surveyed by Philip 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 officer of the Revolution, whose daughter Sarah Ann married Dr. James B. Wallace.
Nancy, sister of the last Philip, and daughter of Samuel, married Jeremiah 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.
Lucy, daughter of the first Philip, married William Williams (vestryman), and their children were Major John, General James, both officers in the Revolution, Philip of Woodstock, William Clayton of Richmond, Mrs. Stevens and Mrs. Green. (See Williams genealogy).

Susan, another daughter of the first Philip, mar- ried Colonel James Slaughter, 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). Another daughter married a Crittenden, and was the mother (I believe) of Senator 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, highly 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 Ist of June, 1839, in the 56th year of his age, leaving nine children, viz. George Roots, Augustine Smith, Wm. Wirt, Cashier Merchants Bank, Atlanta; Philip, consul at Callao, and church warden, St. Paul's, Greensboro, died 1877 ; Almyra ; Dallas; Edward P., cotton factor and com- mission merchant of Augusta, and churchwarden of St. Paul's ; Julia ; Claudia, and Augusta.

THE CONWAY FAMILY.
THE CONWAY FAMILY.
This family has been identified with the Episcopal Church from the earliest 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 possession the will of Edwin Conway, dated 19th of March, 1698. In the grave- yard of Whitechapel, Lancaster County, there is a tombstone of Mary Ball, daughter of Edwin Con- way, 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 princi- pally, 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 lawfully 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 plantation. 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 An- drew Jackson, Reuben Conway and H. Thacker to
130

be overseers of his will, desiring them to carefully advise and instruct bis children in their persons and estates and to be assistants to his dear wife.
The aforesaid E. Conway married Elizabeth Thompson. Their son Francis, near Port Royal, Caroline, married Rebecca, daughter of Jno. 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 Francis and granddaughter of Edwin Con way, 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 5th and 6th of March, 1751, and was baptized. the 31st of March by the Rev. Wm. Davis, and had for god- fathers John Moore and Jonathan Gibson, and for godmothers Mrs. Rebecca Moore and Misses Judith and Elizabeth Catlett.
The author of this will was the great-grandfather of old Capt. Catlett Conway, 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, King George. Dr. Charles Conway (vestryman) is a direct descendant of the old vestryman, the first Edwin Conway of Lancaster.
THE FIELDS.
The first person of the name in the parish register is Henry Field, Sr., a member of the first vestry chosen by the freeholders and housekeepers. of St.

THE FIELDS.
Mark's Parish, at Germanna, in January 1731. 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 Culpeper 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 Lawrence Slaughter, an officer of the Revo- lution, and who was the father of John Field Slaughter, who married Miss Alexander of Prince William. Another of Col. John Field's daughters married Col. George Slaughter, who raised 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 churchwarden till 1762, a term of thirty-one years. He executed many commissions 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 Green chose a site for a chapel between Shaw's Mountain, the Devil's 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 probably have found his name on the vestry-books there. He rep- resented Culpeper in the Convention 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 independence, and adopted the first Constitution. Henry Field, Jr., died in 1785, leaving 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 Honorable 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. Joshua Fry, an Englishman educated at Oxford. He lived some time in Essex, was Professor of Mathematics at William and Mary College, a member of the House of Burgesses, com- missioner 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 Wash- ington was lieutenant-colonel. I am indebted to his lincal descendant Francis Fry, of Charlottesville, for
