THE SCOTCH-IRISH OF AUGUSTA COUNTY.
THE SCOTCH-IRISH OF AUGUSTA COUNTY, VIRGINIA.
So much has been written concerning that sturdy race who called themselves Scotch-Irish, and who were the pioneer settlers of the upper Valley of the Shenandoah, and beyond, that any extended notice of them and their characteristics would be mere repetition of many abler writers. However, as this work contains the names of so many people of that race who constituted the skirmish line of civilization, a few words here concerning them may not be out of place.
All authorities concede that John Lewis led the van of this heroic race when he settled, in 1732, near the present city of Staunton. But there soon gathered around him many of his own race, who bore their parts manfully in the develop- ment of a new country, and whose descendants, now scattered through many states of the West, South, and Southwest, still preserve the characteristics which made their forefathers con- spicuous in earlier times.
These pioneer settlers of Augusta were men of deep religious convictions, and their churches were the centres from which radiated the influence of the various communities as a whole. The Augusta, or Old Stone Church, was the first to be estab- lished, in 1740, and this venerable structure, erected more than a century and a half ago, still stands as a monument to the heroic men and women by whom it was built in days of difficulty and trial. Tinkling Spring Church, also estab- lished in 1740, was perhaps stronger in numbers and wealth than the Augusta Church, but three or four church structures have been erected there since the establishment of the congre- gation, and therefore it is not so interesting historically as the other.
During the period of the French and Indian War the Scotch-Irish of Augusta, which then comprised an immense

territory to the west and southwest, stood as a bulwark against Indian incursions east of the Blue Ridge, and so valuable were the services rendered by these people that colonial laws asserting the supremacy of the Episcopal, or Established Church, were not enforced against these Dissenting Presby- terians.
When the prelude of the Revolution began, the Scotch-Irish of the upper valley marched to Point Pleasant, and there, under the command of General Andrew Lewis, son of the pioneer settler of Augusta, fought one of the bloodiest battles with the Indians to be found in the annals of our colonial history. In this engagement it is stated that 650 men from Augusta County alone participated, and by that time the limits of the county had been very much reduced. When the Revolution opened, the sons and grandsons of the original settlers were almost unanimously in favor of American inde- pendence, and Scotch-Irish officers and men were found on every field of the Revolution, from Saratoga to Yorktown.
It would be impossible, within the limits of this brief sketch, to give the names of all officers worthy of mention who entered the service from Augusta County ; but Andrew Lewis, who commanded at Point Pleasant, was a Brigadier-General of the Virginia Continental Line, and was chiefly instrumental in driving Lord Dunmore, the last of the Virginia colonial gov- ernors, from her borders. Three of his brothers were officers of rank during the Revolution, and Robert and Alexander Breckenridge were captains of the line in the same struggle. Stout George Mathews, colonel of the 9th Virginia Line, entered the service from Augusta, and was captured with his regiment at the battle of Germantown, Pa., because he dared to press too far against the British centre without proper sup- port. Col. George Moffett, county lieutenant of Augusta, marched with his militia to South Carolina, and aided Morgan in winning the brilliant victory of the Cowpens. Robert, James, Andrew, and William, sons of John Anderson, who was one of the first elders of the Old Stone Church, were brave

and efficient officers in the Revolutionary army, the first serving in South Carolina as colonel under General Pickens, and the other three as captains. Robert Gamble, a captain of the line, led the forlorn hope at the capture of Stony Point, and his younger brother John also served as an officer in the American army. James Tate, a captain of the Augusta militia, gave up his life at Guilford Court House, and many other names might be added to this list.
During the invasion of Virginia, in 1781, the militia of Augusta were almost constantly on the march, and many of them were at Yorktown, where the final act in the drama was played.
When the Revolution ended, these brave and enterprising men began the march of civilization westward, and the first settlers of Kentucky were almost entirely from the upper por- tion of the Virginia Valley. The Prestons, Breckenridges, Logans, Allens, Trimbles, Andersons, McDowells, and many others, sought their fortunes in the new lands west of the Allegheny Mountains, and from these pioneer settlers has de- scended a race of people unsurpassed by any in the world for chivalry, courage, eloquence, and statesmanship. They have been found in every station of life, filling well the place which destiny has assigned to them, and the highest tribute which could be paid to the Scotch-Irish pioneers of Augusta County would be the roster of distinguished men who trace their ancestry to this section of the Valley of Virginia.

This register includes the names of persons who, in the election of Burgesses, in 1741, polled 828 votes for the candi- dates indicated. Many of the voters' names are repetitions, several candidates having received the votes of the same person. The territory covered the limits of the present county of Prince William, together with that now included within the counties of Fairfax, Loudoun, and Fauquier. In other words, it extended along the Potomac to the Blue Ridge.
