| 101 | An alternate date of birth of April 21, 1649 is often given for Edward Johnson; however, if this date is accurate, then he cannot be the son of Arthur Johnston, who died in 1641. Dr. Lorand Johnson, the source for much of the Johnson/Johnston information, states that Edward is indeed Arthur Johnston's son. However, some of his research has been found to be erroneous, calling all of it into question. While there is some circumstantial evidence pointing to Arthut Johnston as Edward Johnson's father, it is not conclusive, and DNA evidence would seem to refute the strongest piece of circumstantial evidence: a letter written by Ann Keith referring to her "cousin" Edward Johnston (the Keith family were related to the Johnstons of Caskieben). Therefore, Arthur Johnston has not been named as his parent. It is possible that some researchers are eager to link Edward Johnson to Arthur Johnston because that would entail royal lineage through Arthur Johnston's mother Christian Forbes. I would like to claim lineage from this fine, interesting family, but I'm just not convinced there is a valid connection except in the minds and wishful thinking of a few over-zealous descendants of Penelope Johnson Clark. Edward was in Blissland Parish, New Kent County, Virginia, by 1677. He signed his name to a list of grievances presented to the King's Commissioners who had come to investigate the causes of the Bacon's Rebellion of that year. The date of his arrival in Virginia is uncertain; however, births of four children are recorded in the new parish of St. Peter's, New Kent County, in the 1680s: Thomas, Elizabeth, Penelope, and Rachel. The mother of these children is named only as Elizabeth, but there is some evidence that she was Elizabeth Walker, daughter of Alexander Walker of Aberdeen, Scotland, who is known to have come to New Kent County. Two other children are listed in the St. Peter's Parish book -- Rebecka, born 1698, and Benjamin, born 1701. It is not clear whether these children belong to Edward and Elizabeth, Edward and a second wife, or another Edward Johnson, perhaps an older son. Blissland Parish records before 1680 have been lost. Dr. Lorand Johnson adds to this list Anthony, born 1678, Arthur, Michael, and William, born 1703. The argument has also been made that Anthony and Arthur are, in fact, the same person -- really Arthur, since one name comes from a birth record and the other from a marriage record. Arthur Johnson, son of Edward Johnson and Elizabeth Walker, was born about 1690 and died January 1759 in Augusta County, Virginia. He married Margaret Phares, daughter of John Phares. They had several children, including Margaret Johnson, who was born seven months after her father's death. Margaret (1759- 1808) married Andrew Skidmore and settled in Randolph County, Virginia (now part of West Virginia). Arthur's proven presence in the family is additional circumstantial evidence that Edward was the son of Dr. Arthur Johnston. Edward accompanied Anne Keith, his cousin's daughter, to Virginia in order that she might marry George Walker. He married George's younger sister, Elizabeth. At issue is whether someone who attended the June 1676 Quaker Meeting in London would have been able to sail to Virginia, meet and marry Elizabeth Walker, sign the Bacon's Rebellion grievance document of April 2, 1677 in New Kent County, acquire property and have a son, Anthony, who was reportedly born in New Kent County in 1678. No one knows for certain who the Edward Johnston who signed the Bacon's Rebellion grievance was, but the notion that a grievance signer would have to have been a landowner does not hold up to scrutiny. Quaker Thomas Moorman, who also signed the grievance, was only 19 in 1677 and would not have been a landowner. Furthermore, there is considerable doubt as to whether Anthony was the son of Edward and Elizabeth Johnson. One hypothesis is that he was the son of Thomas Johnson (who lived at Chericoke on Pamunkey Neck) and the grandson of Richard Johnson. Anthony Johnson's first child Thomas was born in December 1694, which makes it unlikely that Anthony could have been the product of a 1677 marriage. Edward Johnston settled on Powhite Swamp shortly after 1686. | JOHNSON, Edward (I-2144834326)

| 102 | An English soldier who fought in Oliver Cromwell's Army - received confiscated land in lieu of payment. By 1647, William Candler was already a captain in the army. He served in Ireland under Sir Hardress Waller from December 1649 through at least March 1655, when he was granted an estate at Balliknockan in Kings County, Ireland and awarded the rank of Lt. Colonel for "meritorious conduct in the field" by Cromwell. He called his estate "Callan Castle." William Candler's grandson Daniel emigrated to America and established the Candler family in Georgia. Candler's descendant Asa Griggs Candler purchased the rights to the formula for Coca Cola and founded the Coca Cola Company. They also gave generously to Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. The family became an eminent family in Atlanta, described by Pat Conroy in his novel Prince of Tides as "the nearest thing Atlanta had to a royal family." | CANDLER, William (I-2144834290)

| 105 | An officer under the great Marlborough, emigrated to America about 1720 and settled in North Carolina. Was for ten years Councellor of State. Owing to difficulties with the governor of North Carolina, he left the state and went to Virginia, always actively engaged in the service of his country. At the Battle of Point Pleasant, he was Lieutenant in a company and had four sons and two grandsons engaged in the same battle. He was at that time 80 years old. This was his last battle, but his time, his money, and his pen were all devoted to the cause of the Revolution. In 1780 he negotiated one of the most important treaties with the Cherokees, the Chickasaws, and the Choctaws. This was his last public service. He died at the age of 103, full of years and honors. This was the Anthony Hayden who changed his last name to "Haden" when he came to America. His wife was Lady Margaret Douglas of the House of Drumlanrig, Scotland. Deeds show Anthony and Margaret Haden lived in Hanover and Goochland countins in Virginia in 1746. | HADEN, Anthony (I-2144834354)

| 115 | Captain Clark was a Quaker from England whose family came to Virginia via the Barbados. He purchased or patented 30,000 acres of Crown Lands in Hanover, Albermarle, and Louisa Counties, Virginia. He and the Anthony family were neighbors as far back as 1704. A number of noted men came from this Clark family, among them Governor James Clark of Kentucky, General John B. Clark, his son, both also Congressmen from Missouri. Captain Clark was a lawyer and partner with Nicholas Meriwether. He was also Captain of Hanover County militia in 1727, High Sheriff in 1731, Justice of Louisa County in 1742, Overseer of Friends Meeting House (Quaker) near Sugarloaf Mountains in 1749. In the Vestry meeting, December 18, 1697, St. Peter's Parish, New Kent County, orders were given to clear roads. Families of Christopher and his brother, Edward, are listed. The work "families" is presumed to refer to slaves or people being settled on their land grants. (Eng. Duplicate of Lost Virginia Records) lists Christ'o Clark on Rent Rolls, 1704. In Hanover County, 1726, listed among other Justices of Peace were Nich'o Meriwether and Chr. Clark. His residence was at Green Springs, now in Louisa County, Virginia, on the waters of Camp Creek and South Anna River, on a part of rich land supposed to have been a former lake bed. The location is some 10 miles south of Gordonville and 6 miles from the line between Louisa and Albemarle Counties. Christopher cut a road from Green Springs to his lands in Albermarle County, near Charlotteville, which was called "Clark's Trace" or "Clark's Track." The family of General George Rogers Clark lived on this road about 15 miles from Green Springs. The relationship of General Clark to Christopher has been recognized by many. His parents were John Clark (born October, 1724, King and Queen County) and Ann Rogers (born October 20, 1734, King and Queen County). It is proven that they settled near the present site of Charlotteville, where George Rogers was born. They later moved to Caroline County where Governor (of Missouri) William Clark was born. Other brothers were Jonathan, John, Richard and Edmond, and he had four sisters. Louisa County was created in 1742 from Hanover County which was created in 1720-21 from New Kent. Christopher was one of the Justices of the first Louisa Court that set up the county government. This meeting took place in the home of Matthew Jouett (also connected to this family) on Beaver Creek, December 12, 1742. Among those present were Robert Lewis, Richard Johnson, Christopher Clark, Thomas Meriwether (REF: History of Louisa County, by Harris). In 1727 Christopher Clark is said to have been a captain in the Virginia Militia. In the will of Nicholas Meriwether, his law partner, dated 1743, Christopher was referred to as "Captain." Christopher Clark and Nicholas Meriwether received thousands of acres of land grants. They probably passed much of these to other settlers. Christopher patented 4,000 to 5,000 acres in Hanover County in 1722 to 1739. In 1749, Christopher was appointed an "overseer" of the Quaker Meeting House near Sugar Loaf Mountain. He was not an original Quaker but joined the Society between 1743 and 1749. This meeting house near Sugar Loaf Mountain was situated on land Christopher had entered near Sugar Loaf Peak of West Mountain. (REF: Cabell's and Their Kin by Alexander Brown). Will of Christopher Clark In the Name of God, Amen. I CHRISTOPHER CLARK being in sound mind and memory thanks be to Almighty God for it, but calling to mind the uncertainty of life, make this my last will and testament as followeth: First, I give my loving son EDWARD, one gun and all my wearing clothes and all things else that he was possessed of that was ever mine. I give my loving daughter AGNES JOHNSON, one Negro Wench and increase and whatever else she has or ever had in possession that was ever mine. I give my loving daughter RACHEL MOOREMAN four hundred acres of land in Hanover County near to CAPT. THOMAS DANSEY and one Negro Wench name of Mill with her increase and all things else she had in her possession that was ever mine. I give my loving daughter SARAH LYNCH, one Negro Boy named Manny and all things else that she is or ever was possessed of that was mine. I give my loving son, MICAJAH CLARK, five hundred acres of land in Hanover County the same whereon I now live with all the attachments thereunto belonging and one Negro Boy, working tools and whatever else he is or was possessed of that was ever mine. I give my loving son BOLLING CLARK, four hundred acres of land in Hanover County lying on the northwest side of the mountains joining on the land of MR. THOMAS CARR, two Negroes named name of Robin and one horse named Spirit, one gun, one feather bed and furniture, two cows and calves, my trooping arms, my great Bible and all my law books. I give my loving daughter, ELIZABETH ANTHONY, four hundred acres of land in Goochland County on Hooker Creek near south forks of James River, two young negroes, Mat and Jenny, cows and calves, one feather bed and furniture. The rest of my estate be it of what value or quality ever, I lend to my loving wife during her natural life who I appoint my executrix, further my will and desire is that my loving grand-daughter, PENELOPE LYNCH, at the death of her grandmother, PENELOPE CLARK, my wife, that she, the said PENELOPE LYNCH, be paid out of my estate if there be so much remaining, forty pounds good and lawful money of Virginia. And then if any left, to be equally divided among my said children, but not to be appraised in witness to the above premises. I have sett my Hand and fixed my seal this fourteenth day of August, 1741. CHRISTOPHER CLARK In a Court held of Louisa County the 28th Day of May 1754, this will was proved this day in open court by Oath of Thomas Martain and affirmation of Ann Martain and admitted to record and is Recorded. Tester, James Littlepage, Clerk (Will Book I, 1745-1761, Louisa County, Virginia) The Quakers were the earliest Dissenters to come to Louisa [County]. They established meetings at several points, and from the records of the meeting at Cedar Creek in Hanover, they were closely allied. The Cedar Creek Meeting contains records of the meetings on both Camp Creek and on Fork Creek as early as 1746. In 1758, the following are recorded as being part of the Camp Creek Meeting: Charles Moorman and family, Sarah Ballard, Charles Clark and family, John Moorman and family, Samuel Bunch and family, James Johnson and family, William Ballard and family, William Haley and family, Francis Clark and family, Francis Clark, Jr., and family, Charles Clarke, Jr., and family, George Taylor, and James Tate and family. Both of these Meetings had Meetings Houses. There was another Meeting under the mountains at which Christopher Clark was overseer. In lower Louisa, the following families were affiliated with the Cedar Creek Meeting: Micajah Clarke and wife Judith, Bolling and Winifred Clark, George and Cicely Bell, Richard and Elizabeth Bloxom, and Benjamin and Agnes Johnson. James Crew (who married Judith Harris) was also a member of this Meeting; however, he was put out of the Meeting because he owned slaves. His daughter Judith was also turned out for marrying outside of the Meeting (her husband was Halcolm Hart, a Presbyterian). from History of Louisa County, Virginia, by Malcolm H.

| 126 | Data from the 1930 Census indicates that Betty was living in the home of her uncle, Thomas King, in Middleton, Ohio. The family cannot have been in Ohio very long, as each member, including six-month-old Betty and 1 year old Thomas King, Jr., were all born in Kentucky. Betty's son Tom Swier believed Betty to have been born in Hazard, Perry County, Kentucky. Betty told Patti Cunningham Swier that her maiden name was Campbell. In 1930, a marriage record for Odis Campbell and Martha Trusty appears in 1930 in Kentucky. The 1930 Census states that Martha is married, but her last name is given as Trusty, as is the name of her daughter Betty. I have several theories: 1) Martha was married to a man surnamed Trusty, divorced, and moved in with her sister's family while the divorce became final. Martha remarried Odis Campbell, who adopted Betty. 2) Martha was not married, but perhaps engaged and was not truthful with the census-taker because of her child. The father of her child could have been someone named Trusty or could have been Odis Campbell; it was not uncommon to send unwed mothers away to a relative somewhat removed from home in order to prevent scandal. If Odis was not Betty's father, he adopted her. 3) Martha was married to someone surnamed Trusty who died. She married Odis Campbell and he adopted Betty. I am fairly certain the Martha and Betty Trusty in the home of Thomas King in 1930 are my ancestors: 1) The age of Betty is right for the date of her birth, as is the state. 2) Betty gave her mother's maiden name as Martha Trusty to Patti Cunningham Swier. 3) Betty told Patti Cunningham Swier that her cousin Thomas promised to buy her a box of candy if she named her newborn third son after him. Thomas King, Jr. would, indeed, be Betty's cousin and close in age to him as well, which would indicate affinty if they grew up near each other.

| 130 | David Kennedy's small sketch of the history of the family he sprang from, with that of his wife, Joanna: "My great grandfather was from Scotland by the name of Alexander. He fled from that country in the time of the great rebellion (that would be the rebellion of 1715 in protest over bringing George I to the throne rather than the Stuart Pretender) to Ireland." Note: This short sketch of my David Kennedy and the data on births, marriages and deaths which follow have been a great help establishing the Kennedy lineage. Alexander Kennedy, son of Alexander of Craigoch and Kilhenzie was probably the Alexander who left Scotland, great-grandfather of David. The genealogical authorities in Edinburgh know nothing about what happened to Alexander Kennedy; but in Scotland, they lose interest in a man when he departs for Ireland ! | KENNEDY, Alexander (I-2144834103)

| 131 | David Richard Huff: In Memoriam By Steven Huff On August 20 of the year 2000 my brother David took his life. This is an act some in civilized society would condemn. But no one dare condemn my brother while I am around. To condemn David's final action is to completely misunderstand the last 10 or so years of my brother's life, perhaps the trajectory of his entire life. It was said many times among family members immediately after he died, but it bears repeating; my brother was the victim of a terminal illness. Like other life-ending diagnoses such as cancer, AIDS, heart disease, manic depression takes a certain percentage of victims each year. Technically the mortality rate for this organic brain disease is low, as suicide is considered a choice perhaps made by someone in full control of his or her faculties. If someone were to do forensic psychological workups on most suicides, however, and correlate this number with manic-depressive illness, I am certain we would find the mortality rate for people with bipolar disorder to be high. The disease is treatable with medications like Lithium or Depakote; but for a man as vital, as powerful as my brother, I wonder now if the medications were not just as unbearable as the disease. David valued his energy, his vitality at its best was something as unstoppable as a force of nature; I can't see how my brother could appreciate medications that made him sleep for hours on end and dulled his quick and agile mind. Grandpa Huff would have said of my brother, he was "much of a man," -Grandpa's highest compliment. We would not have come to honor him if we did not all have many memories of David; I ask you now like me to reach for the good ones-I know there are many. I tried to settle on one thing, but I got to thinking and couldn't just pare down my memories of my brother to one signal event; No, I remembered 52 card pickup, how he loved joke books and would read from them aloud, he, my father and me laughing till we were red-faced-I remembered how mercilessly he'd pick on me, I would run to tell on him, and as soon as my parents had finished fussing at him I would go barreling back into him for more; I remember sitting with him in one of his black cars I am sure he totaled not long after, reading Marvel Comics-how he made me giggle till my sides hurt by turning the villain of the story into a complete swish. Mom would probably let him have it even now if she knew that I remembered being small and riding on the back of one of his motorcycles neither of us wearing shirts or helmets. I also remember from my teen years one thing that stands out about my brother; one thing that has always spoken to me of his root character; of what was best and brightest in him. I was 15 and it was my first summer working for Dad's company. We were installing runway lights at the Smyrna Tennessee airport, and I was my brother's 'helper' on the crew. Something I am certain he was not too thrilled about, though he never let me know. I was arrogant though, proud of being as big as him finally and determined to show him I could take whatever he dished out. He and the other guys dished out a lot to the boss's 'little one' but the event I remember had nothing to do with the rest of the crew. We were working in a ditch. Whenever you worked for Dad you always had to dig a ditch at some point, and this one was deep with sloping sides. I don't remember why we were digging the ditch. I do remember that the Smyrna Airport is built over a swamp and for every inch or two you would dig sludgy red mud would seep back in. One of those classic afternoon Tennessee thunderstorms was blowing up; far across the flat expanse of the runway and airfield we had watched the thunderhead come, throwing out its angry arcs of white light. As it blotted out the sun the rest of the crew valiantly fled for an "early lunch" till it blew over. Rain was starting to come down and for some reason my brother remained in the ditch, digging steadily. He told me I didn't have to stay out in the rain-I could listen to the radio in the cab of his truck while he worked until it was actually lunchtime. To him, we were on our father's dime and would work exactly what our Dad expected us to work. I was happy to obey, climbed in the cab and listened to the radio as the rain beat down harder and harder. Just as I was sure the storm would calm it gusted, and I could see my brother bend his head to his work. It was futile-for every shovel full of muck another one washed down the side, but David dug in, brown water rising to his calves. Something about him standing there alone doing such fruitless determined work wore me down; I jumped out into the sideways-slanting rain and grabbed a shovel, slid down into the ditch to dig. We didn't look at each other, we just kept digging, but I think about it now-I have always recalled it as a moment I felt deeply proud to be this man's brother. Whatever force, grit, steel that kept him bent to his work-to say someone so strong and determined was my brother gave me in my heart a powerful sense of our common bond, our blood. Though I was becoming a man myself, and was full of that pridefulness-I still felt in awe of my older brother. I remember digging a ditch, and I remember the brother I loved. The brother I love. I ask you to remember the David you loved. Maybe you shot pool with him or drank beer, or rode bicycles that became dirt bikes that became motorcycles-Maybe you talked of cosmic mysteries or Tarzan novels or trucking-maybe he took up for you in a fight, or just took up for you, period. He was a man at the mercy of a merciless illness. Though it is too late to save him somehow from its grasp-we can all do him the honor of remembering the man he could be, was, apart from his disease. He was our son, husband, father, brother, cousin, friend. He was a real man who wanted to work, do good work, he was a man who loved to work hard. He was indeed, as our Grandpa Huff would have said, "much of a man." (Drafted 8/29/2000) Poem written by Steven Huff after David's death. A Psalm of David. (David Richard Huff, 1958-2000) At first the reverence. Silence, broken by the speaking o's And the vast maw of humdrum whiteness, The days passing, And the hands Kissing me to rest. The reverence. At first reverence in the blue Bright yellow scream of it all. Hungry, happy, dreaming. Reverence, silence. At first the bliss of not knowing of all this. There once was an eastertide kiss to Forsythia photographs blue, honeyblonde, Copper red and wandering with children. The damned wide decades had yet to be crossed. We were yet to miss any world of reckoning- We were children awaiting a cigarette kiss. Make of our mother a saint and our father a god For the only oddness that is allowed is the badweather Blood of time hauling us down its shadowed path. The myth of forsythias yellow in easter bloomed at the First glimpse of the road. Now the shadows have groaned with their lonely Burden and someone's hands have gone. I have no time to reckon with death. Dies Irae Dies Illa Little wandering one beneath the fixed and hissing sun Solvet saeclum in favilla Little wandering one undone with buttons askew Dies Irae Dies Illa Little wandering one coming for the new Teste David cum Sibilla Little blue memory you have yet to make. Dies Irae Dies Illa Start with the snake of days Solvet saeclum in favilla And disgrace yourself as you back into the haze Dies Irae Will a little shining one come? Dies Illa Solve the riddles of the same unknown sun? Solvet saeclum in favilla When he is old and about undone by The broken mothering of years? Teste David cum Sibylla. Rapt with this mass of my own making I sing. Wrapped in this mess of my own aching I sing. Wet with the kiss of my own breaking Open vault of unsaid things Winging my way to that not yet dead. That myth of Icarus I have always said Was meant for the mourning of golden ones Who had a glittering and jittering love of the sun. Once, motionless and red I was a small dead thing on the shore. I watched him command his chariot, he could soar. I have yet to find his face in the glass of the sea. Begin O God of light to reveal him to me. What O what will you have me do now that I am sad And the night has claws of music to bring stars to my door And cats to the porch to scream their dirge to me? What O what will you have me make with these wandering hands Trying to slake a thirst unquenched yet by pushing word over Word to tumble out as if in a confused and impotent rage? I will quit asking questions of you, O God. I will make no psalm or play my lyre and I will Not kiss the fire of your days with the herald song of my Mad voice raised unceasing. I will go back to erasing the child in the land Before the silence of the vast white maw of o's at the end Hissing and kissing you to sleep. It is the same, the same. We lay on a soft white bed dead to the world and the white maw is Filled with open o's as we remember the sun they cry and beg Us to sleep the satin sleep of the comforted gone to the dark.. It is the same, the same. The easter sun rose and it came and it burned and it went And by summer the yellow blossoms were spent, The dresses were packed and the suits were Buried and the closets held secrets of mice and play. The next day was just a day, and you were not reverent among The wondering o's. The mouths turned away from you and began speaking anew Of whatever trash time was throwing when you slept on the first satin In your silence. Perhaps black glitters better when I remember. I don't know. My brother in his black cars towered and sped. His great blonde head and wild smile. He hurled himself everywhere and sang as he went He danced as if the end were there and not here. Colors don't fade in the brain. They grow brighter and the sky grows bluer and the sun Hotter. The brother grows taller and his mind is madder. Colors Forsythia yellow Easter blue Mother pink Father red Brother dead. Colors don't fade in the brain. His fat face in the rain is the same insane face Of Icarus I saw in the towering cars, home from The bars past midnight and breathing beer as he begged 'don't tell.' Can't cash it all in yet. I was young, and striped. Colored. Fresh and washed. The pictures are too blue and Too bright and too autumn to the forsythia Easter and spring. Can't recall all of it. Can't believe my lack of me then. He was what I thought you were when you were tall And straight and crazed and running and riding Wild metal death straight into the sun. Icarus meant nothing but I could see when One's body has enslaved one to time and Now I think I saw his path laid and just watched Amazed. I so envied his razor sharp gaze And how he tried to fly. I stood by. Now, here I've come to tell you, Tell you all of what amazed me and Emblazoned on the years to come my mantra For life, and how it is to be lived as if god is above and Invisible and cruel and true. Did he die with grace? When the wings gave and the sun laughed him down To past midnight somewhere in the bad part of town Was there ballet, was there amazing beauty in The arc described by his hand as it raised itself to his temple And was there strength in the final lucid pull of the trigger? Crime scene analysts know that there are patterns to be read In the splatters you find when one has finally and truly blown his mind- Like ancient shamans with entrails what did they see spelled out in My brother's spattered blood? He died with psychics on his mind. For twenty-five dollars and an hour he learned his fate Was to move on and then he bought the gun And said his goodbyes and did the deed all the Graceful ones do when their time in the sun has Run its course and the world must move on. At first, with reverence the world rises like pink towers In the white maw above, and there are round o's of mouths and singing At first the world is ringing with the legend that will one day be you. Then you are through and the sun even dims in August as the dirt falls dry On the casket of the flying one who has burned his last bright run In the white arms of the sun. Run on then. Oh, run. The last test has been taken. You are done. The last bullet has spoken. In the end you were not broken No Perhaps you had only begun To understand the flight of days. We all see these things different ways. Run on, then, run. I finally saw your son again and he revealed nothing Save your chin. Run on. The old house is all but gone. It sits green on green And no one mows the lawn. The trees still grow Still bear our scars. The driveway still holds the secret ruts of your many Black cars. Run on, oh, run. I sit in my green dark peace of another day Always a life that would be but strange to you And each distant roar in the night Of great trucks hissing south is you. In from the night you came once. Glorious like the sun. Quiet and small All I could do Was stand by. And watch you joyfully die. | HUFF, David Richard (I-2144834601)

| 142 | Elizabeth lived to be over 100 years old. After the death of her husband, she and some of her children migrated to Wilkes County, Georgia. She became a Quaker preacher after making many trips back and forth between Georgia and Virginia on horseback. A woman who had 15 children, traveled back and forth between the states on horseback preaching the gospel, and lived to be over 100 years old deserves lasting reverence and respect. She returned to Virginia to be with relatives prior to her death. | CLARK, Elizabeth (I-2144834424)
