nation, were " of quite a different character:" " they appeared," he says," oh- stinately determined not to give me 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 granted me a license for those things petitioned."
The growth and snecess of this denomination in this, as in other sections, of the State is in no small measure due humanly speaking, to this unwise per- seention : The rage of these misguided ecclesiasties was the excess of folly: They defeated their own aims: They contributed to the power and increase of those whom they esteemed enemies tothe cause of truth and religion. 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 through the initial stage of the history of this denomination in this section. There were Nathaniel Saun- ders, Win. Mason, John Churchill Gordon, J. Koontz, James Garnett, Geo. Eve, John Picket, H. Goss, Lewis Conner, W. Fristoe, Oliver Welch, A. Mof- fett, E. G. Ship. Robert Jones, John Hickerson, Thomas Holtzman, Daniel James, John Garnett, Thornton Stringfellow, Barnett Grimsley, A. M. Poin- dexter, Joshua Leather, L. L. Fox, J. N. Fox, James Fife, Champ C. Conner, Thaddeus Herndon, Richard Herndon, A. H. Spillman, James - Garnett Jr.,. Win. F. Broadus, Cumberland George, T. R. Miller, P. M. Carpenter, Silas Bruce, H. C. Briggs, J. A. Mansfield, W. G. Roan, Win. A. Hill, Win. A. Whitescarver, L. R. Steele, J. W. Brown, H. E. Hatcher, Jno. C. Willis, A. H. Bennett, B. P. Dulin, W. S. Briggs, A. M. Grimsley, Milton Robert Grimsley, and others among deceased ministers, not to mention those who are still zeal- ously engaged in the same work, nor the many strong and influential " Iny- men," living and departed, who perhaps have been not less faithful nor less efficient in their less conspicuons 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 nre prom- inent and 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 Seminary, 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 esteemed by them as of vital importance :- They have always laid great emphasis npon the doctrine of individual responsibility, and contended that it is the right and the duty of every man to study the Scriptures for himself 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 baptism, - upon im- mersion as essential to baptism,-upon the independence of the churches- (holding that each church is responsible only to Christ as, her Head and Law- giver, though any number of churches may combine and .co-operate. in be- nevolent and religions enterprises,)-and upon the absolute equality of the ministry; the majority of them hold that none are entitled to the privilege of coming to the Lord's table, or participating in the observance of the Lord's

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 "Grimsley, the loving and belov- ed." A strong and useful man, 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.
"CULPEPER (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 meinbers 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 Gourdvine, 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 Culpeper. At that time Waller R. Asher and his wife were the only white Baptists living in the town.' . The pastors have been Nathaniel Saunders (as supply 1774-1777,) John Leland, Wm. Mason, Nathaniel Saunders, Win. 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,) C. 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 historie 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 church and in his purposefulness 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 mentioned 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, 'is a daughter of Blue Run.' She began her career in 1777. Her pas- tors have been Elijah Craig 'for about two years,' James Garnett Sr. for more than fifty five years, his grandson James Garnett Jr. for about forty-six years, J. W. Mccown for more than fourteen years, J. W. Bishop one year, John C. Willis (as a supply) for about 10 months, and J. E. 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 Win. 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 Moffatt 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 Win. Mason- (1803-1821)-Daniel James, as supply-August 1822-March 1823-Jas. Garnett- (1823-1874)-A. H. Spilman-(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 on an island in the stream, Cedar Run, just below the point at which the rail- road now crosses the same. The second, erected a few years before the war,

and torn down by Federal soldiers, stood about a half-mile East of Mitchell's 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 abont $1,400. Her pastors have been James Garnett-(1830-1874)-Dr. Wm. A. Hill-(1877-1880)-W. G. Roan-(1881-1883)- J. A. Chambliss-(Jnne 1883-Feb. 1884)-and I. N. May, who has been serving in that capacity since 1831. 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 33; this year she reports 75."
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 Culpeper county, about 7 miles North of the court house, on the Sperryville and Culpeper Turnpike, was constituted in January, 1834, by Win. F. Broaddns and B. Grimsley. Her first pastor, Champ C. Conner, served from March 1834, 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 '54)-Silas Bruce-(1854-1861)-A. M. Grimsley-(1865 until his death in April, 1894.) During the terrible period of the civil war, the church had no pastor. Since 1876 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 onee held membership in this body. And, this was the church of Edmund Broadus, father of Elder John A. Broadus, and for many years a very prominent 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 honse was burned, and the membership became scattered, and seems to have had no regular meetings for five or six years. In July 1868 they began to gather for worship in a small honse at or near Lignum. Elder H. E. Hatcher preached for the little band several times in 1867 and 1868. El- der A. H. Bennett was pastor 1859-1871. In October 1871 the church was reor- ganized in the Methodist house of worship at Stevensburg by Elder James B. Taylor. From that time nutil 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.
"Alnın Spring, in Culpeper county, 6 miles North of the court house, be- came a elinreh November 16th, 1855. From that date until his death, August 25tl, 1863, Cumberland George was her pastor. Her other pastors have been

John N. Fox-(June 1865-May 1878)-John H. Boldridge-(December 1878- August 1881)-and T. P. Brown from September 1881 until now. This church was one of the fruits of a prayer meeting held in the woods during the Sum- mer of 1854. Seven of the twelve original 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 members of Alum Spring."
This church, still under the pastoral care of Rev. Mr. Brown, reports this year a membership of 137.
"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 pastors 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 member- 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 1891. 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 62, 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 affiicted 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.
From the early will books of Culpeper county, beginning July 20, 1749, and extending to March 19, 1821, the publisher has taken the following notes. In doing so we were guided by no set rule, but took notes of wills from which it was possible to derive any genealogical information, excepting some few, which he deemed not of sufficient importance to justify the printing of notes there- from. Following the notes from wills we give the complete marriage record of Culpeper from the year, 1781 to January 1, 1825. Prior to 1780 the mar- riage record was kept by the Church authorities; an effort was made to pro- cure 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 etc., can be used in this way. Take the will of Spencer Butler, by which it appears, that he had a daughter, Dorcas, who married a Duncan. Now, look in the marriage record, where it can be seen that in 1797 James Duncan mar- ried Dorcas Butler.
Roger Dixon was the first clerk of the county. He was succeeded in 1772 by John Jameson. The first will recorded was that of
Elinore George, dated Sept. 1st, 1748, which was witnessed by Wm. Nash, Christopher Threlkeld and Jno. Wetherall. He speaks of his wife, Martha, of his sons, William and Thomas: also of his brother, William George.
The remainder of the notes we give in alphabetical order. Note the follow- ing explanations. First is given the testator's name, then the date the will was written; then his wife's name, where it is possible to obtain it; lastly the names of his children, and other genealogical information that might be at hand: 'The date last given is the probate of the will. Book "G," from April 1. 1813, to June 17, 1817, is missing, the supposition being it was lost during the war between the States.
