It was plain that something very unusual was transpiring at an isolated building in Spottsylvania County, Virginia, one Sunday morning in September, 1781. The house, which stood on the old Catharpin road leading to the then little village of Fredericksburg, and which was located about four miles south of the spot since known as Parker's Station, was surrounded by such a gathering of men, women and children, slaves, pack horses, cattle, dogs, and loaded wagons as had never been seen in the county before, but there was no unseemly disorder and but little noise except such as came from fretful ilnfants and from the bells of the grazing stock. The crowd was too great for the house and most of the people were assembled under the trees in fron of it where the women had been provided with seats. it could not be a camp-meeting - there were no signs of eilther cheerfulness or enjoyment. It was not a funeral though all were sad and many were deeply dejected. It was "farewell Sunday"

at Upper Spottsylvania (Baptist) Church - the next morning the congregation was to start in a body for Kentucky. .............. All kinds of property were disposed of, all kinds of arrangements were made and the Farewell Sunday found them heavy-hearted but ready for the start with packing completed, homes abandoned and surrounded by friends who had gathered from far and near to bid them a last and long good bye. Of those not a few were Baptist preachers of Spottsylvania and the neighboring counties. Among them, according to tradition, was Elijah Craig, the bold exhorter of the Blue Run church who had lunched in jail more than once on rye bread and water for conscience sake;

Ambrose Dudley who had often labored with him; William E. Waller, pastor of County Line and William Ellis the aged shepherd of the Nottaway flock who had realized what "buffetings" meant long before the Revolution brought its blessed heritage of religious freedom. They had many relatives among the departing throng and all of them but the venerable Ellis soon followed them to the land of Boone.

John Waller, pastor of Lower Spottsylvania Church, and the most picturesque of the early Baptist ministers of Virginia was also there. He was the "Devil's Adjutant" no longer. The former persecutor, whole-souled in everything he undertook, had for years been one of the staunchest defenders of the people he had once so energetically reviled.

One familiar figure was misssing from the crowd. John Clay, the struggling preacher for the struggling church in the flat and desolate "slashes" of Hanover was not there. Only a few weeks before the father of the eloquent "Harry of the West" had ceased from his labors forever.

Preachers were not lacking in the expedition itself. Joseph Bledsoe of the Wilderness Church and father of the afterwards noted Senator Jesse Bledsoe of Kentucky; Joseph Craig, "the man who laid down in the road"; William Cave, a connection of the Craigs, and Simeon Walton, pastor for a season of Nottaway Church, were four of probably a dozen preachers who accompanied it. Many more came after them, so many in fact that an early chronicler of the church in Virginia calls Kentucky "the vortex of Baptist preachers."

"Per [email protected] posted gedcom file on Ancestry.com. Child of JOSEPH JONES and MARY WAUGH is: i. JR. JONES3 JOSEPH, b. 1777; d. 1804. Monroe purchased the land on which Oak Hill was located jointly with his uncle Judge Joseph Jones of Fredericksburg, in 1794. The property consisted of approximately 4,400 acres, which they had purchased from Colonel Charles Carter of Loudoun County. Monroe inherited all interests in this land when his uncle died in 1805 with no heirs. Jones' will indicated that Monroe held the land in a moiety share. Jones' son, Joseph Jones, Jr., had lived on the property until his death, predeasing his father (Gawalt 1993: 255, 257; Hellman 1997: 17)".

II. John Marshall Kinney((6)), b. Dec. 31, 1837; d. Sept. 2, 1904. Married (July 11, 1861) Mary Frances Beirne, b. Union, W. Va., June 15, 1840. She is still living in Staunton, Va.

John Marshall Kinney((6)) (Mary Anne A. Fisher((5)), George Fisher((4)) (married Ann Ambler((4))), Jaquelin((3)), Richard Ambler((2)), Edward Jaquelin((1))), son of Nicholas Cabell and Mary Ann Ambler Kinney, b. Dec. 11, 1837; d. Sept. 2, 1904. Married (July 11, 1861) Mary Frances Beirne, of Union, W. Va. Mr. Kinney died very suddenly. The following is an account of his death: Without warning, a few minutes before 7 o'clock last evening (Sept. 2, 1904), Mr. John Marshall Kinney, while sitting on the front porch at his home fell over and suddenly expired, supposedly from heart disease, from which he had been a sufferer.

Mr. Kinney was down street all day yesterday, and was not complaining, so far as known, of any unusual discomfort. It had long been known among his friends, and he knew it well himself, and remarked on it, that his heart was affected, and for a couple of years, he had suffered considerably at times, and since the death of his brother, Major A. F. Kinney, he had spoken frequently of the chance of dying, but no one expected any sudden termination.

No one was present when he was first affected except his little grand-daughter, Miss Harman, who ran to give the alarm, but death was almost instant, and medical aid which was summoned was of no avail.

Mr. Kinney was born in the brick building now occupied by the Staunton Gas Company, corner Main and Market streets, the son of Nicholas C. Kinney and Mary Ann Ambler Fisher, December 31, 1837. He had a classical education, having studied at the University of Virginia, and having added to it by reading and study through the greater part of his life.

When a young man Mr. Kinney spent some time in the adventurous life of the southwest on the plains. When the civil war broke out, he was back in the east, and was teaching at Beaufort, S. C., in a college. Having come to Staunton on business a few days before the West Augusta Guard was called to Harper's Ferry, though not a member of the command, he fell in and went with it to Harper's Ferry and remained with it during the exciting episodes of its first months in active service. He then joined the Staunton Artillery with which he saw hard service, being finally transferred to service in the treasury department.

For many years before and up to his death, Mr. Kinney had been a master commissioner in chancery and confederacy. He was a member of Stonewall Jackson's camp of this city. Librarian of the court of appeals, which position he filled with signal ability and credit, having been brought up himself to the law.
