Old Churches Ministers, and Families of Virginia. Article
XLVIII.
"The articles in which the Presbyterian Church has been spoken
of having been read by a gentleman well versed in its history,
he has kindly sent me the following letter:--
"Right Rev. and Dear Sir:--I have lately read your articles on
Lunenburg, Charlotte, Halifax, Prince Edward, &c. with special
interest, as my early years were spent in the latter county,
where my maternal relatives reside, and who were connected with
many families in the other counties mentioned, by blood, or
affinity, or religious sympathy. Your papers embody much that I
have often heard, with considerable additions. Knowing that,
while traversing this region, "Incedis per ignes, suppositos
cineri doloso," I must needs be curious to see how you would
bear yourself, and I cannot refrain from intimating my
admiration of the spirit in which you have handled a somewhat
difficult theme. I will even add something more in this
connection,--reflections occasioned by your notices, and which I
must beg you to excuse, if at all trenching on propriety.
"My mother, as you may have heard, though firmly attached to her
own faith and Church, has a sincere, and, of late years,
growing, respect for that over which you preside. I read your
articles above mentioned to her, and while she was pleased with
their spirit, she is ready to confirm most of the facts, saying
of that concerning Prince Edward in particular, 'It is all true;
and he might have added more in the same strain.'
"The decline of Episcopacy in that region was no doubt hastened
by the causes to which you have adverted,--such as the defection
of one minister, the character of others, the rise of
Hampden-Sydney College, &c.; but the falling off of certain
families, whose influence ultimately gave a caste to religious
opinion, was prepared long before. Thus, Anne Michaux, daughter
of one of the original refugees, and who, having fled from
France on the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, settled at
Manakin, married Richard Woodson, Esq., of Poplar Hill, Prince
Edward, sometimes called Baron Woodson on account of his large
possessions. This lady, to whom I referred in my former letter,
lived herself to a great age, but of a numerous offspring only
two daughters survived, one of whom was married to Nathaniel
Venable, son of that Alvan Venable whom you have mentioned as
one of the vestrymen of a parish in Louisa,--the other to
Francis Hopkins, Esq., clerk of Prince Edward. The tradition of
Mrs. Woodson's many virtues is preserved among her numerous
descendants to this day. Her strong character and devoted piety
appear to have made an indelible impression on such of them as
had the happiness to know her. And this it was, I believe, that
gave them a respect not only for religion in general, but a bias
toward that particular type of Protestantism of which she was so
brilliant an ornament."
