character they give 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 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 Thanet, 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 saine 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, Win., 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

churchwarden in 1780. He made himself very popular by releasing a Baptist minister who had been imprisoned by a Justice of the Peace, by substituting 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 1776, 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 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 336 majority in the district." In the State papers published by Dr. Palmer there is a correspondence between him and Jefferson in 1776 which would seem to show that he had some local command, perhaps City Lieutenant. He died on his way from the Senate in Richmond, at Fred- ericksburg, and was buried there. His executors 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 represented 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, noch. 2. Capt. John R., member of Assembly many years. m. Miss Viola Payne, dau. of Dr. Payne, of Cul- peper, and had 1. Jas. Alexander, in. Miss Taylor, of Giles, II. Win. Henry, III. Geo. French, IV. Ellen Payne, in. 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 I. 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 VII. Lucy Williams .. 4. James Franch, Judge of (Rappahannock county, m. Miss Mary Botts, and had 1. Sallie Hunt, m. Clarence J. Milier, II. James French, III. Andrew Botts, IV. Catherine Tutt. V. Isabel Lewis, VI. Elizabeth Roberts, 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. Lewis Harvie.
Jeremiah Strother, late of Culpeper, who m. Miss Clayton, and is the grandfather of the Rev. J. P. Hansbrough, is of the same family. So also, we suppose, was Win. Strother, of Madison, who m. Miss Medley, and whose dau. Louisa 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 2. 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. Broadns, 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 Assen-

bly. Edmund was the son of Thomas, who was the brother of the Revolution- ary officers, Ensign James and Major Wm. Broadus, vestryman and lay dele- gate, who married Mrs. Jones, the daughter of the first churchwarden of St. Mark's, Robert Slaughter. Their daughter Kitty married William Mills Thompson, vestryman of St. Mark's, who was the father of the Hon. Richard Wigginton Thompson, the present Secretary of the Navy. Major William Broadus married second Miss Richardson and left several children, among whom is Miss Sarah A. Broadus of Charlestown, W. Va. Major Broadus was Paymaster at Harper's Ferry when he died, about 1830.
The first Broadus of whom I find any trace in Culpeper was Edmund, who patented land in what is now Madison County in 1736. The Rev. William F. Broadus of Fredericksburg was a son of Thos,; and Jas. M. Broadus of Alex. is a son of Edmund, and brother of Dr. John A. Broadus. William Broadus, clerk of Culpeper, was the son of Major Wm. Broadus.
THE SLAUGHTER FAMILY.
[The Slaughter genealogy, as it was in the first edition of St. Mark's, has been revised (the work being done in April 1900) by members of the family who were in a position to know. Besides this, there is additional addenda to this'genealogy, covering other branches and lines.]
. It is not worth while to trace this family to the stock from whence they sprang in England. We limit our notice to two brothers, who were transplant- ed in this Parish early in the eighteenth century; and who by the light of later research, have been found to be the sons of Robt. Slaughter and Frances Anne Jones, his wife.
ROBERT AND FRANCIS SLAUGHTER (the two sons) were the first church wardens of St. Mark's Parish, chosen by the first vestry in 1731.
