In Acknowledgment

Perhaps this little volume would never have reached its present, even if incomplete, form had it not been for the pioneering research in the family history made by the writer's mother, Mrs. C. P. Kearfott, of Martinsville, Va., and by Dr. Eugene B. Jackson, of Harrisonburg, Va. After reading the papers written by his mother and those from the pen of Dr. Jackson the editor of this record found himself consumed by a desire to know more of the story of his ancestors. Evidently others of the family had been moved by a similar curiosity for the editor found to his surprise that several attempts had been made in different parts of the country to compile a family record only to be abandoned after the difficulties of such a project became apparent. Most of the material thus collected was generously placed at the writer's disposal for which he is very grateful. Among those who have made this work possible, par­ ticular mention should be made of Mr. Alfred Kerfoot, of Berryville, Va., Mrs. Harry B. Stone, of Roanoke, Va., and Dr. Eugene B. Jackson of Harrisonburg, Va., whose sugges­ tions, financial help and encouragement have been invaluable. Dr. Jackson has been particularly helpful in contributing much genealogical material and many sketches of the lives here set down. Others to w horn the editor's thanks are due in very great measure are: Mr. ..t\rthur Sterling Kerfoot, of Lemon Grove, Calif., Mr. and Mrs. Robert D. Guy, of Winnipeg, Can., Mr. William Franklin Kerfoot, of Oklahoma City, Miss E. Adele Affleck, of Winchester, Va., Mrs. Evaline Kittleman, of Den­ ver, Colo., Mr. Harry E. Kearfott, of Normal, Ill., Mrs. Mar­ garet Mason, of Highland Park, Ill. To the many others, also, of this wide spread clan who have helped gather and piece ... 111 together the fragments of the history of a very typical Ameri­ can family, the editor expresses his grateful thanks. More than a perfunctory. salute should also be made to the memory of the late Mr. R. E. Griffith, of Winchester, Va., whose painstaking and exhaustive search of the Frederick County archives and other Virginia records proved of inesti­ mable value. Docum·entary proof was thus obtained for many family traditions and a reconstru.ction of the early days of the Kerfoots in the Shenandoah Valley was a possibility. · · It has been the constant .concern of the writer .to keep this record as accurate as poss~ble, even at the cost of. many picturesque legends which time and repetition may hav!! glossed with the similitude of fact. Of such was the "baronial f~mily of Kerfutte, of Dense Manor, Scotland" scions of which were reputed to have settled in Norfolk, Va., around 1645. The writer went to the greatest pains to find verification of this legend. The Norfolk records of that and subsequent periods were searche1 in vain for mention of the name. Also, in reply to an inquiry, the Edinburgh Register House informed the writer that the name, in any of its forms, was unknown to them. Since this institution is the official repository of Scottish genea­ logical information it would appear that this tradition is sum­ marily disposed of. Actually, nothing has been set down in the pages but what is a matter of public record or gleaned from accepted sources of information such as church minutes, gravestones, family correspondence and family Bibles. Among the latter available to the writer were the family Bible of John Kerfoot, of "Providence" the Bible of William Kearfott, III., and the Alexander family Bible. From such trustworthy sources, then, from legal docu­ ments and from research in state archives and colonial records has the material for the early part of this family history been gathered. For the rest, the writer has relied upon information . 1V sent him in the course of many years of correspondence with members of the family in all parts of the country. In the early days of the family in Virginia throughout several generations so many marriages occurred between Ker­ foots and descendants of allied families that it has seemed necessary to append short genealogies of some of the latter. Notably was this true of the Sowers family and of the Alex­ anders and Carrs of northern Virginia. Without doubt there will be found large and serious voids in this family chronicle. Descendants of many lines of the family thriving in the country but unknown to the editor may be disappointed not to find themselves recorded herein. Also, in cases where contact has been made and the space devoted to certain families seems inadequate, it must be remembered that ardent pleas for more detailed information all too often went unrewarded. Naturally we were able to work only with material available to us. In a work of this nature, errors, both of omission and commission, are to some extent inevitable. Those of us who have labored on its compilation have been as conscientious as it lay within us to be. We feel that we have done our best. We place the result in your hands without further apologies. Yet, with all its shortcomings, if this little_ book enables present and future generations of Kerfoots and Kearfotts to find their ancestral background less of a mystery to them than did the editor only a few years ago, then he will feel that his labors have been justified.

CONCERNING the NAME' and ORIGIN o/ the FAMILY

H;storical

It is of interest to note that all of the older branches of the Kerfoot family in America traditionally claim Ireland as the ancestral point of departure from the Old World. Yet several recent Kerfoot immigrants to this country claim to have come directly from England.- Certain Irish records indi­ cate that families of this name were established in and near Dublin and in the counties Wicklow and Wexford at the be­ ginning of the eighteenth century and earlier. It is not im­ probable, in fact it is quite likely, that the majority of the American Kerfoots derive from these sources. It has been well established, however, that the Kerfoots of Ireland were of English, rather than of Irish stock. The Scotch-Irish tradition among the American Kerfoots very probably results mainly from the fact that northern Ireland was largely settled by Scotsmen and Englishmen after the time of William of Orange. The name, altho long known in Ireland, has always been considered English. Furthermore, the Kerfoots of Ireland were predominantly Protestant in faith. The writer regrets most keenly that he has been_ unable to find the genealogical link betwee~ the Ker£oats of America and those of the· British Isles. Three attempts were made, all of which were inconclusive. A legend which had wide circulation a~ong many branches of the family owing to its specific naming ·of persons and dates and places was investigated first. It is quoted here just as it was noted down in 1911 by Mr. John Barret Kerfoot of New York City, the distinguished writer and critic, now deceased. In that year, a Mr. Thomas Kerfoot Vavasour intro­ duced himself to the critic as a descendant of the Virginia family of Kerfoots and told him that a "Mr. James, the British Consul at Norfolk" (whether Norfolk, Va., or Norfolk, Eng­ land, not stated) had shown him or told him of an old manu- 4 CONCERNING THE NAME AND script found in his office "in the handwriting of Selwyn; the Berwick Chronicler'' in which the fallowing item was noted : "Two sons and a nephew of Colonel Kerfutte of Prince Rupert's 6th Regiment of Horse went to America in 1645 and settled in Norfolk. Th'.-ey were of the ancient baronial house of Kerfutte of Dense Manor in Scotland. A military branch of the family settled in Newry, County Down, Ireland, in Elizabeth's day.'' The writer of this book went to the greatest pains to verify this legend. A letter to the British Consul in Norfolk, Va., brought the reply that to his knowledge there had never been a Mr. James in their employ and that the existence of such a manuscript was unknown to him. An exhaustive search of early Colonial records of Norfolk and adjacent counties· found no mention of the name. An inquiry to the Edinburg Register House, brought an equally negative reply. The name in any of its forms was unknown to them. Nor had they any record of a "baronial house of Kerfutte." And, finally, after some ten years of compiling genea­ logies of the Kerfoot f amities, the writer has failed to discover a Kerfoot-Vavasour alliance ! It was thought that a search made in English records might throw some light upon the origin of the family and in 1940 an investigation was ordered from the College of Arms in London. A mass of isolated data was collected concerning the family showing their presence in England as far back as I 556 during the reign of Queen Elizabeth. The name was found rather frequently in Lancashire and in Cheshire and less often in London and in the South of England. But· no references to Kerfoots in America could be found in the items discovered. Nor could the dates of the various wills, marriages, births, etc., offer any clues as to when the Kerfoots first came to America. This search was rendered particularly difficult because it was undertaken during the terrific Nazi bombing raids upon London and many of the important files had been removed to underground places of security. 0BIGIN OF THE FAMILY 5

One hopeful result of the search in England was a list of Kerfoot wills in Ireland, the dates of which might indicate an ancestor of the American family. So in 1945 a search for these wills and for other pertinent information was made by the Genealogical Office of Dublin. Here again a blank wall was encountered. The wills in question, as well as a great deal of other genealogical reference files had been destroyed by fire during the Sinn Fein Revolution of 1922. Some mention of Kerfoots in Ireland after 18oo were found in Dublin and in county Wicklow, but no records prior to 1763 when William Kerfoot's story begins in Virginia. There was but a single item found pertinent to the pur­ poses of the search. It concerns a Richard Kerfoot whose name appears in Dublin directories for 1817 and 1818, but not subsequently. This is very likely the Richard Kerfoot who settled in Lancaster, Pa., in 1818. No entry of his marriage to Christiana Barrett of County Armagh could be found in the records of that county. Nor could the birth records of any of his children be found. Many of the Parish Registers were also lost when the Record Office was burned. From the occupations of these early Kerfoots in England and Ireland as listed in the items concerning them it is obvious that they were "commoners," or of the "sturdy British yeoman class/' rather than of the so called gentry. Most of them were farmers, tilling their own fields, merchants, artisans and so forth. There were some professional men among them. A Vicar in London in 1584; a doctor; a lieutenant in the British army in 1723, etc. That the family possessed a coat of arms is improbable. The name is not to be found in "Burke's Armory" which is the official registry for matters of that sort in England. There seems to be no support for the presumption that the name is derived from Keresforth or Kerford, both of which f amities are credited with coats of arms in the "Armory." If such a derivation took place it occurred at a very early date, for the name is found in more or less its present form as early as 1556 when Randle Kyrfoote married Alys Greene in London. 6 CONCERNING THE NAME AND

The name was spelled in various fashions in these early entries; Kyrfytt, Kirfott, Kerfut, Carefoote, Cearfoot, Kear­ foote, Kerfoote, etc. It is small wonder that there is more than one way of spelling the nam~ in America. Apart from the foregoing the writer trusts he may be pardoned a digression concerning a small discovery of his· own. Some years ago, during an extended stay in the province of Brittany on the west coast of France he was struck by the · prevalence of the prefix "Ker-" in Breton names, both in proper· names and in names of places. Shortly afterwards he happened across the small hamlet of Kerfot, a village about nine kilometers from the old town of Paimpol (Departement Cotes -du Nord). The Breton dictionary gives Ker as a con­ traction of ke'ar meaning "castle of-", "fortified place pf-" and derived from the Latin "castra/'-camp. The last syllable of the word Kerfot was not given but it is most likely a corruption of the French word "fort," meaning strong. From this lin-. guistic approach then, Kerfoot might appear to signify some­ thing approximating "Stronghold." The foregoing may be purely coincidental and any con­ nection between the names Kerfot in Brittany and .Kerfoot acros~ the Channel altogether a matter of conjecture. Still, it is not an impossibility... Many names of French .origin came into .England with William the Conqueror and in the centuries following. At any rate, the writer's young son, who was attending the local school in Brittany, was pointed out to an American visitor as a native. Knowing the boy's father, the American corrected the Breton. The latter held to his statement, how­ ever with the remark; "Mais, certainement-, the boy has a Breton name !"

There are at least three branches of the Kerfoot family in the United States, the oldest, and naturally the largest, of these groups is the one formed by the descendants of William Kerfoot ( or Carefoote) of Virginia. Family tradition has it that he came from Dublin with his three sons.· It is of record .ORIGIN OF THE FAMILY 7 that he purchased a plantation in 1763 in that part of the Shenandoah Valley which was being wrested from the savages by the hardy Scotch-Irish pioneers. A later branch was founded by Richard Kerfoot of Dub­ lin who settled in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1818. Richard Kerfoot was born in Castle Monaghan, Ireland, and brought his family to America in 1819. In 1820 or thereabouts a George Kerfoot came to Canada from Ireland ·and his descendants are now living in the United States .as well as in Canada. Since all three families claim Ireland . as their place of origin, it is reasonable to assume that these families were related in that country. Indeed, it is said, that prior to the Civil War; individuals of the Virginia and the Pennsylvania families had become acquainted and had tried to establish their kinship, ~ut without success. · The name occurs, however, in very early Colonial Records in Virginia, some of the earlier immigrants· obviously coming from England, where the family undoubtedly originated.· On the "Muster Roll of the Virginia Colony for the Y eare, 1624" appears the name Thomas Kerfitt, · indentured servant to Thos. ·Passmore, of "James Ci tty Island." This is, of course~ the Jamestown Colony. In 1637 was recorded·.a patent or grant of land to Capt. John Howe, 1000 acres upon Cherrystone Creek in Accomac County, in which was mentioned a transfer of twenty persons, presumably indentured, among whom was listed Elizabeth Kerfoote. Again, on a ship's passenger list, '~All the Servants that Goes to Virginea in ye Ship Concord, Jno. Walls, Commander, Oct. ye 25th, 1638." is found "Margaret Kearfoote, of Wigan, (Lancashire) spinster, bound to Ezekiel Parr for 4 Yeares"* On another list of servants· to the Virginia colonies, dated October 25th, 1701 is this item: "Thos. Buttler, Son of Wm. Buttler, (bound) to Ganther Carefoote for 4 Yeares."**

* New England Hist. and Biog. Register. Vol. 64. ** New England Hist. and Biog.• Register, Vol. 65, p. 46. 8 CONCERNING THE NAME AND

It seems reasonable to believe that a settler would be fairly well established in the Colonies before a servant from England could be bound to him. Yet no further mention of Ganther Carefoote can be found. All available sources of in­ formation relative to the early colonial period were searched in vain for traces of the name. Neither the Virginia Land Office records, nor Fairfax's Grants, nor Maryland nor Penn­ sylvania archives yielded any further hint of the existence of the Kerfoots in Virginia from 1701 until William Kerfoot --bought -his-~plantation on the banks of the Opequon in 176J. It is therefore assumed that the latter was the founder of the family in Virginia. Possibly a word should be said here as· -to the different spelling of the name among the Virginia families. In pe­ rusing the early records it is obvious that proper spelling was held of slight importance among the early chroniclers. The name of the only Kerfoot in the Revolutionary Army was entered seven times in the minutes of his company and upon each occasion it was spelled differently ! On the tombstone of this soldier, near White Post, Va., the name is spelled Kear­ £ott, and all of his descendants have spelled it in the same manner ever since. Thus, also, did Betsy Kear£ott Sowers, sister of John Ker£ oot, of Providence, spell the name. · In a will of the Mather family (ancestors of Cotton Mather, of the Puritan Colony fame) mention is made of a lawsuit over debts between a member of the Mather family and John and Thomas Kerfoote of Winwick, Lancashire in 16oc)-10. Until 1724 few white men had crossed the Blue Ridge into the - Shenandoah Valley. It was still frontier country when the first Kerfoot built his log home beside the Opequon. The Indians had but recently retreated over the Alleghanies and ,vere to return more than once to raid the homes of the pioneers with fire and tomahawk. Due to the difficulty of obtaining settlers for this border land the Established Church of England relaxed for a while its severity towards Dissenters who began to penetrate the ORIGIN OF THE FAMILY 9

Valley. Quaker families came in from Pennsylvania and a party of Baptists under the leadership of Robert Borden made their way from New Jersey into the new territory. Whether the Kerfoots were Baptists when they entered the country is not known but certainly some of them were mem­ bers of this church at a very early date, and staunchly resisted the later persecution of their faith by the Established Church. A particular victim of the Church's wrath was the Rev. James Ireland, an eloquent and powerful Baptist preacher who perfonned the marriage ceremony for many of the Kerfoots during this period. It is related that the English authorities decided to "eliminate the Baptist from their midst" and that a Mrs. Sutherlin bribed her negro servant to poison the Ireland family. William Kerfoot, a member of Ireland's congregation, was active in finding the poison and in securing the perpetrators of the attempt for trial. Ireland recovered only to meet imprisonment and fresh attempts upon his life. Such opposition only served to make the Baptists more determined to def end their right to worship acording to their conscience, and the Virginia Kerfoots have, in general, re­ mained Baptists to the present day. They have been closely associated with the development of the Baptist Church, par­ ticularly in the South. Dr. Franklin Howard Kerfoot held for many years an important chair in the faculty of the South­ ern Baptist Theological Seminary of Louisville, Kentucky. Kerfoots were to be found in the ranks of the army in every war the nation has fought, from Sergt. William Ker­ £oot, of the 4th Virginia Regt., of the Continental Line in the Revolution, the War of 1812, the Civil War, the War with Spain and down through the World Wars I and II. During the Civil War the majority of the Virginia Ker­ foot family, having been reared south of the Mason and Dixon line, threw in their lot generally with the Southern cause. However, the family felt within its own ranks the discord which had torn the Union apart. There were Kerfoots, and also Kearfotts, in both camps during the bitter struggle. IO CONCERNING THE NAME AND

A large family of Kearfotts had moved with the western tide of pioneers in the· 1830s to Ohio and Illinois and Indiana. Some of these gave their allegiance to the state in which they made · their homes. Among them was Hogeland Kearfott, whose son, Private John P. Kearfott, in the blue uniform of an Ohio regiment found himself in 1862 near Martinsburg, West Virginia. Remembering that his uncle, the elderly John P. Kearfott, whom he had never seen. lived nearby o~ his plant~t~on "Fancy Hill," the young ~ nion soi di er decided to pay his respects .. He was courteously, but probably cqolly, received hr the old gentleman, a southern sympathizer, whose two sons, John P., Jr., and James in the Confederate gray of Stuart's Cavalry entered the roqµi a few moments later.. They h~d stol~n through the Union lines for a surprise visit. t.o their .father~ Triple. surprise. Happily no casua_lties were r~ported, but what a pity there was no candid camera present to record the event. In most southern families nearly all of th_e men of military age were in the ~nfederat~ army. All three of the sons of Dr. Franklin J. Kerfoot, of Berryville, Va., for example, w~r~ in uniform. · On the other hand, the descendants of Richard Kerfoot who had settled in :Pennsylvania were generally Union in sympathy, altho some of these also were listed in the _Southern ranks. An amusing incident was related by a Confederate officer, long after the war, of his days as a young lieutenant during Lee's invasion of Maryland. As a youth he had gone to school in Maryland at St. J ames's Hall, one of the first Episcopalian schools for boys, where youths from the North and South had been instructed under the stern but just discipline of the principal, the Rev. John B. Kerfoot, afterwards 1st Bishop of Pittsburg. The young officer in question was ordered to "com­ mandeer" the horses of St. James' Hall but as he neared the familiar grounds memories of the piercing blue eyes of the disciplinarian assailed him. Face to face with his former . ORIGIN OF THE FAMILY II principal, a staunch Union man, the lieutenant meekly sug­ gested that Mr. Kerfoot hide his horses, "they- might be stolen!" So St. James's Hall and its stables were kept intact until battle lines were formed upon the grounds a few days later and Mr. Kerfoot with his family was forced to abandon the property. · · During the difficult years of reconstruction and privation following the War between the States many of the fine old Kerfoot homesteads passed into other hands. Fortunes ruined, live-stock gone and families decimated by four years of bitter warfare, many heirs to these estates found themselves unable to maintain· the1?1 and the farms were either broken up or sold in their entirety. Since most of these homes· were in the northern end of the Shenandoah Valley and directly in the path of ·the opposing armies it is rather surprisi1:1g that so· many of them were left standing. . . Still to be seen are the once stately "Providence," built by John Kerfoot in 18o<) near White Post; "R.ed Gate,'; home of George L. Kerfoot, near Millwood, ]?oth in Clarke county. "MQ~tmorencie,'' home of Daniel S. Kerfoot, is in Fauquier county near Delaplane. A few miles south of Berryville in Cl~rke c~unty is the lovely "Llewellyn," former home of Dr. Franklin J. Ker£ oot. ~'Llewellyn," the only one of the old homesteads still under the family name, is owned and occupied by Mr. Alfred Moss Kerfoot, a grandson of Dr. F. J. Kerfoot. This house was once owned by Fielding Lewis, a brother-in-law of General George Washington and General Washington is said to have stopped there on visits. It was bought by John Ker­ foot and presented to Dr. Franklin J. Kerfoot upon the latter's marriage. "Llewellyn'' has been restored and enlarged with loving care by its present owner. Across the state line near Kearneysville in Berkley coun­ ty, West Virginia, the home of Joseph Baker Kearfott still stands beside the "Packhorse Ford" on Opequon creek, but in a sad state of dilapidation. 12 CONCERNING THE NAME AND

"Fancy Hill," John P. Kearfott's home in Berkley ·county a few miles from Martinsburg was destroyed by fire some forty years ago. The home of one of his sons, John P. Kearfott, Jr., an old Lemen family homestead is intact near Keameys­ ville. The original Royal Grant to this property is still pre­ served in the county archives at Charlestown, West Va. With the passing of the years most of the old homesites have found new owners and now but few Kerfoots remain in the beautiful Valley where long they had maintained so worthy an existence. In a story tracing the successive generations and fortunes of any long established family it soon becomes evident that to a degree the history of the Nation itself is reflected therein. Geographical, political, and economic changes in the develop­ ment of the Republic find their counterpart in the annals of individual families. As the frontiers of the young United States expanded and new territory was opened for settlement there was always to be found some member of the Kerfoot family ready to venture into the new lands. Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Mis­ souri, Kansas and the great plains of the West saw them in tum. As late as 1888 there were four Kerfoot brothers lined up waiting for the signal gun for the start of the celebrated "Oklahoma Run." With such a record of pioneering behind them it is not surprising today to find the family thinly scattered over thirty-five states of the Union and in many of the Canadian provinces. If the family has not played a spectacular part in the development of the Nation its role has been at least a sub~ stantial and loyal supporting one. It has helped to fight the country's wars, open up its wildernesses, plan and build its roads and cities and till its fields. Of professional men it has produced its due share. Doc­ tors, ministers, lawyers, educators and men of worth and substance are to be found in every generation. God-fearing, truehearted people for the most part, the inevitable "black sheep" in their midst has been an exceptionally rare occurence. ORIGIN OF THE FAMILY 13

Names famous in American history appear at intervals in these pages, Colonel Daniel Morgan and Major Lawrence Butler of Revolutionary fame; the Ball and the Washington families of northern Virginia; Gen. Robert E. Lee, hero of the South; the gallant Armistead of Gettysburg; Buffalo Bill (Col. William F. Cody) ; and the great Mark Twain (Samuel L. Clemens) were closely associated in ties of friendship or of marriage with this characteristically American family.

WIWAM KERFOOTI ( -1779) of Frederick County, Va., and Descendants of his son, George Kerfoot

A few miles to the north of the white post set up in the frontier crossroads of the "Northern N eek of Virginia'' by Lord Fair­ fax to direct Colonial travelers to his hos­ pitable Greenway Court was the plantation of William Kerfoott ( or Care£ oot), founder of the Kerfoot family of Virginia. Kerche­ val, the early historian of the Shenandoah Valley writes in 1833 : "The ancestors of the Glasses, Allens, Vances, Kerfoots etc., were Handwrought door the earliest settlers on the upper waters of la10b and key plate from pioneer home the Opequon." of William Ker­ A white post still stands in the same spot foott. in the intersection of the modern highways in the center of the town of White Post, Clarke Co., Va. where long ago great-coated and bewigged gentlemen turned their horses' heads towards Fairfax's bachelor retreat. Here the solitary aristocrat held court and ruled in feudal manner over a vast domain of the wilderness. Later Frederick county was to be formed of part of this estate with Winchester as the seat of local government. Still later the counties of Clarke, Warren, Fauquier and Loudoun were to be cut off from Frederick. The date of William Kerfoot's first appearance in Fred­ erick county can be approximated by a deed of 192 acres of land on the Opequon creek to William Carefoot by Bryan Bruin dated 1763. This plantation adjoined the Fairfax prop­ erty and more acres were later purchased or "leased" by Wil­ liam and his sons from Robert Wormely Carter. Property in those days was theoretically "Cro,vn Land" and purchases took the form of leases for a series of lifetimes, such as that of the purchaser and the lifetime of several of his infant sons or nephews. The remains of the reputed original Kerfoot homestead stand upon the hillside across the Opequon from the present Dearmont home. The Dearmont farm itself ,vas probably a part of the Kerfoot plantation. I\{ajor Lawrence Butler, friend and confidant of the great Washington, once owned this estate and Butler's grave 18 WILLIAM KERFOOTT of FREDERICK COUNTY, VA. covered by a Revolutionary memorial lies just back ·of the Dearmont home. Kerfoot's house was sturdily built of logs after the fashion of pioneer dwellings, with doors and blinds of strong batten work made of double layers of wood strongly fastened with hand wrought nails. 1"he strength of the doors suggest that they have been constructed with an eye to defences against the Indians who remained a menace to the settlers for some years after 17 50. Stone chimneys with great open fireplaces featured the ends of the downstairs rooms. There is no plaster on the interior; instead the walls are covered with wood panelling beneath which is a layer of bark for insulation. Such, then, was the pioneer home of William, who, with his wife, Margaret, raised his family of seven children, George, William, Samuel, Margaret, Elizabeth, Sarah and Mary and , whose descendants have since spread across the continent. The settler apparently prospered in the new country and sundry court records show his presence in the county up until the time of his death in 1779 while the Revolution was in progress. William and his wife appeared as defendants in a court action in 1764, Lord Fairfax presiding. The suit, brought by David Forbes and wife was discontinued by the plaintiffs. Later, in 1767 his name occurs again in the records as a wit­ ness in a suit brought by Francis Allen against Edward Reed. The court ordered that "Francis Allen pay William Kerfoott Three Hundred Pounds of Tobacco for fourteen days atten­ dance for him as Witness." It is unfortunate that the maiden name of William Ker­ foot's wife is not known. It has been said that her nan1e ,vas Carter and others claim that it was McCarthy but proof is lacking in each case. Since her youngest daughter ,vas born in 1770 it is assumed that she died between that time and 1779, the date of William's will since in it there is no mention of his wife.

Book 4. Page 495. Winchester, Va. In the name of God, Amen, I, William Ker£ oott, of the County of Frederick and Colony of Virginia, being in a mear state of health, but of perfect mind and memory, and calling to mind the uncertain duration of this Life do make this my Last Will and Testament. Imprimis, that my body be decently interred at the dis­ cretion of my Executors hereafter named and that all my just and La,vfull debts be paid and as for the Rest of my worldly Estate wherewith it hath pleased the Almighty God to bless me I give and bequeath in manner following; 20 WILLIAM K.ERFOOTr of FREDERICK COUNTY, VA.

Item: I give and bequeath unto the Heirs of my deceased son, George Kerfoott, five shillings and no more, to be equally divided among them, my said Son, George, in his Lifetime having received his full portion. Item: I give and bequeath unto my well beloved Son, William Kerfoott, the lott of land I hold being known by the name of Davis Lott, called 150 Acres with this restriction, that he shall not sell it on any account and if he doth not think fit to keep it he shall give it unto his Brother Samuel Kerfoott. I likewise give and bequeath unto him one breeding mare, one feather bed and furniture. Item: I give and bequeath unto my well beloved Son, Samuel Kerfoott, the part of my plantation on this side of the creek whereon I dwell, and my negro boy, Will, and an equal share of all my stocks of horse, kind, cattle, sheep and hogs the breeding mare before bequeathed only excepted and an equal share of the household goods. Item: I will and order that that part of my plantation whereon the Widow Ker£ oott now liveth on the other side of the creek be sold at publick vendue and the money arising by the sale thereof to be equally divided between my four daugh­ ters, Margaret, Elizabeth, Sarah and Mary and each of them to have an equal share of my stocks as before mentioned and also an equal share of all my Household goods, the Feather bed and maire before bequeathed only excepted and further that if any of my Children should die before marriage, or the youngest become of age to receive the portion of goods to them bequeathed then the goods or the full value thereof be equally divided among my surviving children and lastly I constitute and appoint my well beloved Sons, \tVilliam & Samuel Kerfoott together with my trusty Friend and neighbor James Knight my whole and sole Executors of this my Last Will and Testament hereby revoking all former Wills by me made allowing this and no other to be my Last Will and Testament. In Witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and KERFOOT 21 seal the fourteenth day of March in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and seventy nine. William Kerfoott (Seal) Signed, sealed and declared in the presence of us, the subscribers whose names are here under written. her Elizabeth X Green. Wm. Green. mark Thomas Reynolds At a court held for Frederick County the 7th day of Dec­ ember 1779 this Last Will and Testament was fully proved & ordered to be Recorded and on the motion of Wm. Kerfoott, one of the Exrs therein named, certificate is granted him for obtaining a probate thereof in due form, he having made oath thereto and with security entered into & acknowledged bond conditioned as the Law directs. By the Court J. A. Keith C.C.

It will be noted that \,Villiam's oldest son, George, was dead at the time William wrote his will. The "Widow Ker­ foot" referred to· in the will is, of course, Margaret or "Peggy" the wife of George who "in his lifetime having received his full portion " William apparently reconsidered his provision for the heirs of his son George. On Sept. 18, 1779, four months after his will was drawn, a deed was executed by him to "Peggy Kerfoot, widow of my late son, George, decsd, in considera­ tion of natural love and affection and for the better enabling her to support her children and also for the sum of £ 1500, current money, a tract of land whereon the said Peggy now lives and all my other lands on that side of the Opequon, notwithstanding any will or bequest heretofore made." £ I 500 was probably a very low figure considering the greatly de­ preciated currency of the war period.

William's estate was appraised at £7032 which did not include the value of his lands, since real estate was never mentioned in those days in appraisals of this sort. A Vendue, or public sale was held of his personal effects on December 20th, 21st and 22nd 1779. Among the lists of purchasers at this sale in addition to his children ,vas Col. Daniel Morgan, of Revolutionary \Var fame. In the Shenandoah Valley it was customary for the executors of an estate to furnish liquor for those in attendance at a Vendue. An item of £94 charged against the estate for liquor furnished at the vendue is evi­ dence of the large attendance at this sale. Five or ten pounds was the usual amount allotted for this purpose. The first of William Ker£ oot's three sons was George, who died in 1778, a year before the death of his father. Ap­ parently he lived on and cultivated a part of his father's plan­ tation, but little could be learned concerning him from the Frederick Co. records. His personal estate was appraised at £5315/15 shillings. Among other items listed were the fol­ lowing: "Distilling equipment and 400 gallons of whiskey" which would show that, like many another farmer of the period, George Kerfoot turned a part of the yield of his fields into a readily transportable product. His wife was Margaret or "Peggy'' ,vhose maiden name is not known. Their children were: John Kerfoot, b. June 19, 176g; m. Lydia Sovvers: Elizabeth Kerfoot, b. 1770, m. James Sowers; Polly Kerfoot, b. 1772, m. Roger Williams; "\Villiam G. Kerfoot, b. 1774, m. 1st Sally Kerfoot, (a 1st cousin); 2nd Sally Alexander, (also a rst cousin); Nancy Kerfoot, m. Abraham Woodro,¥. George Kerfoot's widow seems to have managed well enough and raised her children to maturity on the lands pur­ chased from George's father. She died in 1816 and left personal property appraised at $2,309.50. An excerpt from her v-1ill pro­ bated Dec. 2nd, 1816 is given below. "To son, William G. Kerfoot, my tract of land in Fred­ erick county, 175 acres, subject to a payment of 40 shillings per acre to be paid my son, John Kerfoot, and the sum of KERFOOT 25

£ 350 to be paid also by William G. Ker£ oot. Owing to the comfortable circumstances of my daughters Betsy Sowers and Polly Williams and the destitute condition of my daugh­ ter Nancy Woodrow whose husband has abandoned her and her family, residue is left in trust for Nancy Woodrow free from all claims of her husband, Abraham Woodrow. Her trustees to be my sons, William G. and John Kerfoot. Both sons to pay Nancy an annuity of $25.00 each for twelve years." Elizabeth, oldest daughter of George and Peggy Kerfoot was born in 1770. In 17g8 she married James So,vers, brother of Lydia Sowers (wife of John Kerfoot). They lived at "Greenway Farm" in Frederick Co. James Sowers was captain of a company of militia in the War of 1812, the 51st Va. Regt., in which William S. Kerfoot, his nephew was a corporal. Elizabeth (Betsy) Sowers was a member of Old Bethel Baptist Church and of an intensely religious nature. She wrote many verses of devotional character in the old "ballad" style, and published a hymn book which was used in Old Bethel. Miss Adele Affleck of Winchester owns an old copy book in her handwriting filled with these quaint poems of which the following is an example in the original spelling.

LINES ON RECEIVING THE SACRAMENT Lord sanctify the heart and mind Of all the people here Grant they may leave the world behind And feel their Savi our nere.

Lord, we would come with warm desire To meet our God today, Lord, wilt thou all our hearts inspire In thy most holy way.

Sence thou was pleas' d to give this feast In memorey of thy name Oh, come dear Lord, and be a guest Thy presents we'd obtain. WILLIAM KERFOOTT of FREDERICK COUNTY, VA.

We cheerfully tast this Heavenly bread And think of onely-Thee. May Soul and body bouth be fed And made alive to Thee.

Oh, these sweet emblems of thy Love Gives Ii£ e and Joy and peace. My Friends, what will it be above Where it will never Cease? Betsy Sowers, Greenway Farm, 1839.

Her son, Kearfott (for thus she spelled the name) Sowers had an excellent voice and "raised the tune" for the hymns at Old Bethel. Elizabeth Sowers died in 1851 and lies beside her hus­ band and children in Bethel churchyard. Her children were; Mary Emily, (1&.x>-1828); Daniel A., (1802-1852); George Kearfott, (18o3-1840); Matilda (18o6-188g); James (1811- 1828) and John. Mary (Polly) Kerfoot, (1772-1841) married Roger Wil­ liams. Nancy Kerfoot, married Abraham vVoodrow. William's daughter, Elizabeth, born 1765, married John Brady of Winchester, a well-to-do tavern keeper of that town. William G. Russell, describing the landmarks of the city in "What I Know About Winchester" ( 1889) writes: "Next to Capt. Edward 1\1:cGuire's tavern (Taylor Hotel) stood the Indian Queen Tavern kept by the versatile Irishman, John Brady, in an excellent style. Here was ex­ hibited the first elephant ever to be seen in \Vinchester. After his death (in 18o9) the tavern was kept by William McSherry who subsequently married Brady's widow." There was no issue from either marriage. Elizabeth JOHN BRADV (- 1809) Owner of the Indian Euz.i\1mTH Kmn-ooT TinADY Queen Tavern, \Vinchcstcr, Va.

Brady, however, raised in her home Peggy Alexander, daugh­ ter of her sister, Sarah Alexander. Sarah Kerfoot married William Alexander, proprietor of a woolen mill near Winchester, on June 2nd, 1786. It is prob­ able that her death occurred prior to 18oo, for at that time her daughter, Peggy, was living in the home of her sister, Eliza­ beth Brady, and two of her sons were bound to William Green. In the bonding papers dated 18o2, the two boys are referred to as the orphans of William Alexander. It does not seem likely that both parents of the children were dead at that time for the Alexander Family Bible contains an entry to the effect that William Alexander died in 1834. Also letters in the possession of Miss Adele Affleck of Winchester, a descendant, from several of the Alexander boys then living in Kentucky in 1820-23 send "greetings to father." The children of Sarah and William Alexander were: Sarah Kerfoot, m. William G. Kerfoot, a first cousin; William, b. 1787, m. Betsy Sowers and lived in Hopkinsville, Ky., where he was killed by Indians. He was father of several children. Matthew, unmarried; Hiram, name of wife unknown, went to California at an early date and was never heard of again ; Elijah, m____ Hedges; Margaret, b. 1795, un­ married; John, b. 1797, m. Jemima Creigler; James, m. Jane Peyton. Mary Kerfoot, youngest daughter of William, born 1770, married Arthur Carter in 1792. Arthur Carter was a member of a prosperous Quaker family which came into the Shenan­ doah Valley from Bucks county, Pa., and settled on the Ope­ quon creek about six miles downstream from the Kerfoot plantation. He inherited from his father, James Carter, large tracts of land and five mills. These mills included the first paper mill in the Shenandoah valley, a "flax oyle mill" a saw­ mill and two large flour mills. His father, James, contributed largely in money and supplies to the Revolution and two of his uncles were soldiers. Mary Carter bore her husband fifteen children, five of whom died in infancy. Those surviving were William A., WILUAM KERFOOTT of FREDERICK COUNTY, VA.

Joseph K., Sarah, Watson, James K, Polly Ann, Lucinda, Eliza, Margaret, and Elizabeth. Their home, a modest house of native stone, still stands on the left hand side of the turnpike as one approaches Win­ chester from Berryville about four miles from Winchester. The Opequon creek crosses the road at the foot of the hill below the house and it is believed that the present mill at that spot is on the site of one of the mills of Arthur Carter. Mary Carter died in r821 and her husband survived her until 1846. The oldest son, William A. Carter, removed to Stephens City in Frederick county where he had a large estate and a fine home, known as "Carter Hall.'' He married Sarah Beeler in 1824 and after her death he married in 1836, Mary C. Pittman. There is no mention in the Frederick county records of William Kerfoot's daughter, Margaret, other than as a single woman, so it is presumed that she never married or else mar­ ried out of the county. John Kerfoot, (1769--1841) grew to manhood upon the plantation owned by his mothec where he applied himself earnestly to the pursuits of agriculture and the problems of managing a large estate. In 1793 he married Lydia Sowers, daughter of Daniel Sowers of White Post, and a descendant of Jacob So,vers of Winchester who operated a tavern in that town similar to Gadsby' s in .i\lexandria. The name was origin­ ally spelled Sauer, of German origin. An ancestor of Lydia Sowers, Christopher Sauer, is said to have published the first Bible in the German language in America at German­ town, Pa., in 1676. This marriage was the first of many between these families. John's sister, Betsy, married James Sowers, a brother of Lydia. So successful was John Kerfoot at farming that in 18og he was able to buy a large tract of land near Millwood and KERFOOT 29 build upon it the very substantial home which he called "Providence." Samuel Kercheval, the early historian of the Valley wrote in 1833 as follows ; "Mr. John Kerfoot built a large comfortable brick dwelling, finished in plain style, with most of his offices and all of his slaves' houses of the same material. In ap­ proaching his residence it strikes the eye as a sprightly village. Mr. Kerfoot is beyond question one of the most enter­ prising, judicious and successful farmers in our section of the country. He has acquired more wealth by his agricul­ tural pursuits than any individual within the author's knowledge; has raised a large family of sons and daughters and has provided handsomely for them all; has given each of his sons fine farms and every necessary to commence business. His daughters as they have married off and left him have each of them been handsomely portioned off. Mr. Kerfoot is, and has been for many years, a member of the Baptist Church, a liberal, consistent and most worthy mem­ ber. He is rigidly punctual in his pecuniary engagements; it is said of him that he was never known to fail in a single instance to pay or fulfil any engagement he has entered into. Thus coming up to the golden Gospel rule of "doing unto others as he would they do unto him." Some of the buildings mentioned above have been re­ moved by later occupants, but the splendid old home still stands with evidences of former rich interior adornment. The bricks for the buildings at "Providence" as well as those for the walls of Bethel Church, of which John and his wife were members, were made ·upon the grounds at Providence. Part of John Ker£ oot' s weal th was, of course, in slaves of whom he was the owner of twenty, two more than he owned of horses, as shown in the Tax Lists of 1832. His children were: Catherine Kerfoot, b. Nov. I, 1794, m. George L. Ball ; Margaret Kerfoot, b. Sept. 20, 1796, m. ~ ""----+---J....~.,. .~ . ...,,9., - c:;,., .., !. v~~~~r

The family Bible of John Kerfoot is now in the possession of Mr. Alfred Kerfoot of "Llewellyn." Llewellyn is one of the old homesteads still occupied by a member of the family. It lies about three miles from Berryville, in Clarke county.

I. Catherine Kerfoot, b. Nov. 1, 1794, on her father's farm near White Post, married George L. Ball on Nov. 21, 1816. George Lewis Ball, b. Fauquier Co., Va., 1790, was of the distinguished Ball family, ancestors of George Washington and Gen. Robert E. Lee. He served in the War of 1812 with the rank of Captain and died in 1875 in Warrenton, Va., on the old homestead of his father. Evidently he was estranged from his wife, for she was living in Missouri with relatives at the time of his death and he left his home in his will to a colored servant. Catherine Ball's children were: i. John Kerfoot Ball, who became a pioneer Baptist minister in Clark Co., Mo., m. Eliza Jane Jackson ; ii. James Ball, unmarried ; iii. Emily A. Ball, m. Charles I. Brent; and iv. Mildred Ball, m. Ezra Kerfoot, a Ist cousin and son of Wm. G. Kerfoot.

Attended Warrenton .Academy in Warrenton, Va., and later entered Columbian College (now George Washington University) in Washington, D. C. While at Columbian College he attended Lincoln's first reception at the White House but returned to his home upon the outbreak of the Civil War. At the age of 17 he enlisted in the Confed­ erate Army, first joining the Seventh Va. Cavalry and later became a member of the famous Laurel Brigade of the Sixth Va. Cavalry. He participated in the battles of Kernstown, KERFOOT 35

McDowell, Front Royal, Winchester and Port Republic in Jackson's campaign. While defending a wagon train in Lee's retreat from Gettysburg, he received a saber cut on the head, the scar from which he bore the rest of his life. After the close of the war he returned to his mother's home and farmed there until he built a home of his own on property in Clarke county willed to him by his father. In 186g Mr. Kerfoot married Ella Moshier Chapin of Washington, D. C., granddaughter of the first president of Columbian Col­ lege. For most of his life Mr. Kerfoot was a farmer except for a short period when he was sent to Richmond as a delegate · from Clarke and Warren counties. He was a public school trustee from the Greenway district for over forty years. Mr. Kerfoot united with the Bethel Baptist Church at the age of 12 years and remained a lifelong member, holding office as clerk, deacon, S. S. superintendent and S. S. teacher. In 1926 Mr. Kerfoot moved to Front Royal, Va., where his death occured on June 7, 1936 in the ninety-third year of his age. His declining years were spent in the home of his two unmarried daughters, Misses Ella May and Lucy M. Kerfoot. Greatly loved and respected in the communities in which he had spent such a long and honorable career his passing was mourned by countless friends as well as relatives.

V. Daniel Sowers Kerfoot, born Jan. 16, 18o2, d. 1884, grew to manhood on the farm of his father at "Providence," in Clarke County. On Nov. 12, 1826 he married Maria Carr, daughter of Joseph Carr, the founder of the town of Upper­ ville, Va. For a wedding gift the young couple were presented with the lovely "Greenville" (later called "Red Gate") in Oarke county by John Kerfoot. This is one of the most beauti­ ful sites of all the old homesteads, standing upon the crest of a hill partly encircled by the graceful Shenandoah with the stately Blue Ridge in the distance. His wife, however, pre­ ferred to be nearer to her father, so Daniel exchanged "Red Gate'' with his brother, George L., who owned "Montmoren­ cie" in Fauquier county across the Blue Ridge from Clarke. Prospering on this farm of nearly a thousand acres, Daniel maintained a regular business traffic by wagon train with Alexandria. His home soon became a center of refine­ ment, culture and hospitality. The operation of so large an estate required a number of slaves. Daniel's wife, Maria, died in 1865 as a result of exposure while nursing a sick slave. When the Civil War came on Daniel naturally went with DANIEL SO\VERS KERFOOT ( 1802-1884) From portrait in the home of Mrs. George C. Chapin, Newport News, Va.

viii. William Franklin Ker£ oot, born December 22, 1843, only son of Daniel S. Kerfoot of "Montmorencie," died, Mont­ morencie, Jan. 14, 18go. His father being in very comfortable circumstances, William enjoyed the training of the best private instructors and was sent to the University of Virginia, popular in the South as the school for the sons of well-to-do families. In his first year as a student at the age of eighteen he enlisted as a soldier of the Confederacy, as a private, never to return to his studies. He became a member of Co. B. 8th Va. Inf., known as the "Piedmont Rifles" of Fauquier. This regi­ ment was commanded by John T. Ashby (of the famous Ash­ by family) and later by Richard H. Carter. It may be inter­ esting to note that General Lewis A. Armistead, who im­ mortalized himself at Gettysburg then lived at "Ben Lomond" near l\,Iontmorencie, in the home of his father, Gen. Walker Keith Armistead (U.S.A.-retired.) The Armisteads, the Carrs and the Kerfoots were related by marriage and social ties, so General Armistead took great interest in William Kerfoot and his cousin, John 0. Carr, young recruits in the same com­ pany. All three were later to be found at the battle of Gettys­ burg, the decisive engagement of the war. In Pickett's charge, John Carr was seen to fall, badly wounded, and William Ker­ foot ran to draw him from the line of fire but fell beside his cousin, his arm shattered in three places and with a wound in the head. Carr, who was affianced to Kerfoot's sister, Emily, was dead and young Kerfoot was taken prisoner to a northern hospital where his arm was amputated... After many months his return to his family was obtained in an exchange of prisoners. General Armistead fell at the very spear-point of Pickett's charge, the farthest north of the whole Southern advance. 50 WILUAM KERFOOTI Of FREDERICK COUNTY, VA.

"A thousand fell where Kemper led A thousand died where Garnett bled In blinding flame and strangling smoke The remnant through the ramparts broke, And crossed the works with Armistead !" From "High Tide at Gettsburg,"-W. H. Thompson After recovering from his wounds William F. Kerfoot remained with_ his family at Montmorencie assisting his father in the administration of the large estate in the trying days of the Reconstruction. Mr. Kerfoot was a devout Baptist and greatly interested in the affairs of his church. Keenly inter­ ested in the large family connection, throughout his life Mont­ morencie was recognized as the gathering place of all con­ nected directly or indirectly with the family name. Unfor­ tunately, his generosity exceeded his business acumen and at his death Montmorencie, in sadly depleted state passed into the hands of his son, Brown Ker£ oot. William F. Kerfoot married Margaret Dodge, daughter of the pastor of the Upperville, Va. Baptist church, Dr. Henry W. Dodge. Three children were born of this union: 1. Marie Maud Kerfoot, b. May 30, 1872, d.

VIII. Franklin James Kerfoot, b. Oct. 19, 1810 at Provi­ dence, studied and graduated in medicine from the University of Kentucky at Lexington. There he met and married Harriet E. Webb of Lexington. The historic estate of "Llewellyn" in Oarke county was purchased by his father, John, and pre­ sented to the young couple as a wedding gift. Here Dr. Ker­ foot pursued the double occupation of farmer and country doctor, becoming widely known throughout the county for his services in the latter capacity. During the harrowing days of the War between the States when all three of Dr. Kerfoot's sons were in Confeder­ ate uniform, Llewellyn was almost miraculously spared. In­ deed, it is said that the house was once ordered to be burned KERFOOT 55 by a Union officer but the order was countermanded just in time to save it.

Mary Glasscock; ix. William Francis, b. Jan. 30, 1857, Unm. x. Hattie Byrd, b. May 8, 1858, d. 1863. Dr. Kerfoot died Aug. 4, 1887 and his remains lie in the Baptist Cemetery in Berryville, Va. Harriet S. Kerfoot sur­ vived her husband until October 31, 1904. .. ii. John D. Kerfoot, son of Dr. Franklin J. Kerfoot, was born July 1st, 1835 on his father's plantation, Llewellyn, in Clarke county, Va. Soon after reaching his majority he went to Texas to look after the property of his uncle ( on his mother's side) David Webb of Kentucky, who had established himself near Dallas and had recently been killed by a band of marauding Indians. Not long after the young man had taken control of his late uncle's affairs war was declared between the North and the South and Kerfoot hurried home to the defense of his native state. He joined Lee's army of Northern Virginia and saw four years of bitter warfare until the fateful battle of Gettysburg. Returning to his father's plantation after the war he helped his family repair the ravages of warfare and yet found time to woo and marry his cousin, Mary E. Carr, daugh­ ter of John and Emily (Kerfoot) Carr. After their marriage in 1867 the couple returned to Dallas where John Kerfoot read law and was admitted to the bar. He was appointed Judge of the Dallas county court and in 1875 was elected mayor of 56 WILLIAM KERFOOTT of FREDERICK COUNTY, VA.

The boy, then but fifteen years of age, valiantly rode one of his father's saddle horses away to join the Confederate Army in which his older brother, John, had already enlisted. After serving for a time in the Oarke County Cavalry he joined Co. 1 of the 2nd. Va. Infantry under Gen. Stonewall Jackson. The young soldier was badly wounded several times and upon one occasion was carried from the field and placed among the dead. He recovered from his wounds, however, and when the war had ended returned to his home where he helped in the work of the farm and "read" medicine under the tutelage of his father. He and his brother, Howard, with the help of their father purchased one of the early threshing ma­ chines and sold their services to the neighboring farmers thereby earning money to. complete their educations. Entering the medical school of the University of Virginia, Henry Kerfoot was graduated in due course and served his interneship in Bellevue Hospital in New York City. He re­ turned later to Virginia where he practiced medicine in Buck­ land, Warrenton and Berryville, specializing in obstetrics. He purchased the Llewellyn property from his family and suc­ cessfully combined farming with the practice of his profession.

LLE\VELLYN So named by Laurence Lewis, son of Fielding Lewis of Kenmore and his wife, Elizabeth Washington, sister of General George \Vashington. In I8I8 Laurence Lewis sold Llewellyn to Warner Washington. The latter was the son of \Varner Washington and Elizabeth 11acon and a grandson of John Washington who was General Washington~s uncle. In 1819 Warner Washington sold 828 acres of Llewellyn to :M~ordecai Throclanorton, but bought back the same tract of land in 1822. Llewellyn comprised some I, 16o acres at the time of Warner Washington's death in 1829. After his death the estate passed into the hands of Fairfax and Hamilton Washington. who sold it in 1832 to Thomas Castleman ·whose heirs sold it to John Kerfoot in 1833. John Kerfoot gave it to his son, Franklin J. Kerfoot in r836. It has remained in the Kerfoot family ever since.. 58 WILLIAM KERFOOTT of FREDERICK CouNTY, VA.

Rejoining his brothers at Llevvellyn, vvhich fortunately had been spared the torch, thanks to a countermanded Union order, altho ~rops, stock and stables had not escaped the at­ tention of the invaders, the young men assisted their father in repairing the ravages of war. Working as an operator of one of the first threshing machines in the county, Franklin sooned earned sufficient funds to complete his interrupted education. He entered Columbian College in Washington, D. C. ,vhere he took the four years Master's degree in two years and the two year course for an LLB in one year, thus doing six years' work in three years time. Such intense application to study proved injurious to his health for many years to come. Having joined the Baptist Church in Berryville in his early youth and being of a devout, thoughtful nature he no,v felt an urge to enter the ministry. After a session at the South­ ern Baptist Theological Seminary at Greenville, S. C., illness caused his withdrawal from the school. He later entered Crozer Seminary from which he was graduated. For a few years subsequently he served as agent for the Southern Bap­ tist Seminary in Texas and Missouri. A period of travel abroad in Egypt and the Holy Land followed at the conclusion of ,vhich he took a course of study at the University of Leipsic in 1874. Upon his return to the States he accepted a call to the pastorate of the Midway and the Forks of the Elkhorn churches in Kentucky. In this state, in the home of a friend of his mother, who was from Kentucky, he met and married his bride, :rvt:attie Price. Not long after his marriage he ,vas called to the Eutaw Place Baptist Church of Baltimore. I-Jere he remained for five years, contributing greatly to the upbuilding of the church until his health failed again. A voyage of recuperation abroad was recon1mended at the conclusion of which he was called to the pastorate of the Strong Place Baptist Church in Brook­ lyn, N. Y. 62 WILUAM KERFOOTr of FREDERICK COUNTY, VA.

A talented orator himself, Dr. Kerfoot never misse4 an opportunity to hear the masters of this art. While pastor of Strong Place church he went to Virginia to hear the famous John Randolph speak. At this meeting the temporary platform upon which Dr. Kerfoot was seated collapsed and the base of Dr. Kerfoot'~ spine was so badly injured that the best sur­ geons in New York said that he ,vould likely never be able to walk again. He continued to preach, however, for a year, seated upon a high bookkeeper's stool behind a solid pulpit. His injury nevertheless forced him to resign his charge and he accepted a professorship in the Southern Baptist Seminary at Louisville, Ky. In Louisville 1'-1r. Kerfoot made a remarkable recovery from his illness. After he and some others had prayed all night for his recovery he arose, threw his crutches away, walked home and never bad any physical reminder of his former lame­ ness. Dr. Kerfoot remained t,velve years in the Seminary. In testimony of his popularity and capacity as a teacher and ad­ ministrator a colleague said of him: "He holds a secure place among the excellent teachers who have helped the theological thinking of a generation of our southern Baptist preachers. . . Nor must the ever kindly, paternal, judicious personal rela­ tions to his pupils be forgotten." From his work at the Seminary, Dr. Kerfoot passed to that of Corresponding Secretary of the Home Mission Board in Atlanta, Georgia, where his death occurred in 1901. Mrs. Kerfoot spent her last years in London where she had gone to live ,vith her daughter. While shopping in one of the big London stores she fell and fractured her hip, an injury from which she never recovered. She died in London in 1933. The children of Dr. and Mrs. Franklin Ho,vard Kerfoot were: I. Branch Price Kerfoot, born 1878 in Baltimore, Md. A graduate of the University of Va. (B.A. and B.L.) he practiced law in New York City where he became a member of the well known law firm of Scudder, McCoun, Stockton and Kerfoot KERFOOT with offices at 25 Broadway. For a number of years Mr. Ker­ foot was General Counsel for the United States Express Co., and subsequently became General Solicitor for the Wells Fargo Express Co., which position he held until 1920. In his later years his practice was largely concerned with the settle­ ment and management of estates and he handled a number of bank receiverships after the financial crisis of 1929. Mr. Kerfoot, in the later years of his life, resided in Pel­ ham Manor, a residential suburb of New York. The high es­ teem in which he was held by his community is attested by the fact that for many years he was a member of the Board of Trustees of Pelham Manor. He resigned this position in 1941 to become Village Attorney, which position he held until his death on Sept. 23, 1947 as a result ·of cancer. He was a member of the Lawyer's Oub, the Crescent A.thletic Oub and the Newton Ring, a club of amateur photo­ graphers in Pelham. In addition to his hobby of photography Mr. Kerfoot was a stamp collector and possessed a valuable collection. He married, April 26, 1922, Henrietta McBrayer Bartlett of Lexington, Ky., daughter of Wallace Moore and Morris W. Bartlett. Mrs. Kerfoot bore him two sons and died following an operation, Oct. 25, 1935. She and her husband are buried in Lawrenceburg, Ky. Their children were: I. Branch P. Kerfoot, Jr., b. May 9, 1925 in New York City. Graduate of South Kent Prep. School, E. E., Yale, 1946, M. E., Univ. of Michigan, 1947. No,v working for a Ph.D. in Electronics at Univ. of Mich.

IX. Mary Elizabeth Kerfoot (1812-1892) married Daniel W. Sowers of Clarke Co., at her father's home, Providence in 1832. They were first cousins, Lydia Sowers, John Kerfoot's wife, being Daniel Sowers' aunt. vVhen Daniel Sowers was three years old he became an orphan and he and his two sis­ ters went to live with their aunt at "Providence." His sister Eliza Ann married her cousin, William Carter Kerfoot and his other sister, Catherine, married George Louthan Kerfoot. Both of these were sons of John Kerfoot. Daniel and Mary Sowers lived first at "Swallow Barn" which had once been the property of Lawrence Washington, brother of George Washington who surveyed the property for him. Ten of Daniel Sowers' t\velve children were born at Swallovv Barn of which only the stone chimney now stands. The beautiful and imposing "Woodley" was then built upon the hill overlooking "Llewellyn" (home of Franklin J. Ker­ foot) to take care of the large family. During the Civil War Daniel and his wife were im­ prisoned for a ,vhile at Harper's Ferry because they refused to take the oath of allegience to the Union. Two of Daniel's sons ,vere soldiers in the Confederate Army, Justin, being captured and i1nprisoned for eight months at Fort Delaware, while Zach, under age, enlisted and became one of Mosby's Rangers. "Woodley" suffered the fate of many such handsome es­ tates during the post v\rar period. The family impoverished by the long drawn out struggle, with cattle gone and lands laid waste, allo,ved the home to pass into the hands of the former overseer of the plantation, a Mr. Levi. The children of Daniel W. and J\1ary K. Sowers were: i. Annie M., m. Hugh Swart. Children: Daniel \V., Aubrey and Mary. ii. Justin, m. Mary Turner, Children: Turner, Olen, Mattie and James. iii. Emma, m. Vlilliam Dodge of N. Y. Children: Mary, Margaret and Emma. iv. Dr. Zachariah, m. Eleanor Mattingly, lived Washington, D. C. Children: William and Eleanor, m. Gen. S. H. Faison, U.S.A. v.

20, 1837 at her father's home, "Providence." John Carr was the son of Joseph Carr, founder of Upperville, Va., formerly called "Carrtown." He was a graduate of Yale and he and his wife lived at "Hillside," an estate purchased from the Washington family. William G. Kerfoot, born 1774* at White Post in Fred­ erick Co., Va., was the younger of the two sons of George Kerfoot. Hardly four years of age at the time of his father's death he must have learned to share at an early age the work about the plantation managed so capably by his mother and his brother, John. While apparently no record is extant of his first mar­ riage, there is good reason to believe that his first wife was Sally Kerfoot, daughter of his uncle, Samuel Kerfoot, thus a first cousin. In 1816 William G. Kerfoot's name appears among the heirs to his uncle Samuel's estate in a record of the division of slaves after Samuel's death. It is assumed that he represented the interest of his wife, or her estate, in the division of these valuable chattels. Also, in 1817 James and George Kerfoot, orphan sons of Samuel Kerfoot, chose Wil­ liam G. Kerfoot as their guardian. What more reasonable to suppose than that the two orphan boys would prefer to live in the home of their older sister, Sally, wife of William G. Kerfoot? Five children \vere the issue of this first marriage: I. George Alexander Kerfoot; II. Eliza Kerfoot; III. John S. Kerfoot; IV. Ezra Kerfoot; V. Franklin Kerfoot. The first wife obviously must have died some years prior to 1829 for at this time there is a record of the marriage of William G. Kerfoot to Sarah Kerfoot Alexander, daughter of his aunt Sally Alexander, again a first cousin. The young wife bore him one child; VI. Andrew Jackson Kerfoot and died shortly after. The following year the child was placed in the care of relatives in Virginia, presumably some member of the Alexander family, and ,villiam G. Kerfoot, a few years later,

Slaves over 18, 7. Horses, 10.") by his first marriage in the westward tide of settlers in the Mis­ sissippi Valley. They settled beside the great river in Lewis county at a place called Colony near Williamstown. Here William G. Kerfoot died in 1843. I. George Alexander Kerfoot, b. Jun. 14, 1814 in White Post, Va., came to Missouri in 1834 with his father settling near Williamstown. He ,vas a prosperous farmer and married Lucinda Fretwell in 1838 by whom he had thirteen children. He died at Williamstown in 1881. Their children were: i. Wil­ liam Kerfoot, b. 1840, d. 1861; ii. George Thomas Kerfoot, b. D·ec. 16, 1841 ; iii. Ezra F. Kerfoot, b. 1843; iv. Samuel Kerfoot, b. 1845, d. 1863; v. John Franklin Kerfoot, b. Sept. 5, 1846, d. 1929, lived \Vyaconda, J\1o. vi.

WIWAM KERFOOTT ( .1779) of Frederick County, Va.

Descendants of his son, William Kear/ott

he second son of William Kerfoot, also called William, was born in May, 1749. It is believed that this is the man who took part in the War for Independence, since in 1776 he was twenty seven years of age and the only other William Kerfoot old enough for service was his father, who at that time must have been nearly fifty-five years old, certainly a mature age for soldiering. In the Historical Register of Virginians in the Revolu­ tion, by John H. Gwathney, 1938, Page 443, we find that William Kearfott enlisted in 1777 for three years as Sergeant in the 4th Va. Regiment of the Continental Line. He was a member of Capt. John Stith's company,. commanded at vari­ ous times by Col. Thos. Elliot, Col. Robert Lawson and Col. Issac Beall. He was reported on furlough and on the company muster roll for May, 1778. On April 26th of that year he was appointed Asst. Wagon Master General for Va. There is a tradition in the family that he was present at Cornwallis' surrender at Yorktown. Further evidence that it was the son, and not the father, who took part in 1the Revolution is the record that on June 17, 1783 he assigned his army pay of £78/4s/1od to General Daniel Morgan, his neighbor and friend. It will be remem­ be.red that the elder William died in 1779. In Brumbaugh's Rev. War Records, Vol. 1, page 459 we find that for his war service he was awarded by the Govt. of Va., 200 acres of land in the "Va. Military District of Ohio." (Warrant No. g86 "June 20, 1783, to Sergt. William Kerford for three years service 200 acres of bounty land in Va. l\1ilitary District of Ohio." U. S. General Land Office Records.) Soon after his return from the war William married Mary Bryarly, daughter of a neighboring planter, several of whose sons were officers in the Continental army. By this marriage he had two children, William, born Oct. 23, 1782 and a daugh­ ter, Mary Tate, the mother dying shortly after the birth of 88 WrLUAM KERFOOTT of FREDERICK COUNTY, VA. her daughter. The will of her father, Thos. Bryarly, states that his daughter Mary Bryarly Kearfott was dead at the time of writing his will in 1791. .William married again previous to 18o5 when his will was drawn and in which he mentions his wife, Ann. This was his_ .s~cond wife, Ann Peters, by whom he had no children. The second Mrs. Kearfott was a member of Old Salem Bap­ tist Church and apparently had some difficulty with the con­ gregation for an item in the Minutes of Old Salem Church under date of Dec. 23, 1826 states that it was decided at a meeting that "Mrs. Ann Kearfott might remain in that state of· suspension in which she has been for some years past." What the difficulty was the Minutes unfortunately do not say, but previous references to the matter specify her as "Old Sister Kerfoot" to distinguish her from the wife of her step­ son, William, also named Ann Kerfoot and a member of the same church. William Kearfott,· II, appears to have been the wealthiest of the three brothers. In addition to the lands inherited from his father, Frederick county records show him paying taxes on various other parcels and assisting various relatives in the purchase of lands from Robert W. Carter of "Sabine Hall." He died on Feb. 4, 181 r. His gravestone in the remains of the old burying ground on the farm of Mrs. Wheeler, of New York and Virginia, at White Post has this inscription; "Wil­ liam Kearfott, died the 4th day of February, 1811, aged 61 years and nine months." There was apparently much uncer­ tainty as to the correct spelling of the name in Colonial days, but it will be noted that all of William II's descendents spell the name as it is carved upon this stone. His estate which was appraised by l\1ajor Lawrence But­ ler, Ferguson Bell and Daniel Sowers is given here for what interest it may have for his descendants.

Their children were I. John Pierceall, b. Dec. 14, 18o4; II. Mary Bryarly, b. Dec. 31, 1&6; III. William Mason, b. Jan. 20, 18o8; IV. Eleanor Hoagland, b. Jan. IO, 1810; V. Molly Ann, b.

Alcinda, b. Jul. 19, 1823; XII. Bryarly, b. Oct. 16, 1824- While no doubt William Kearfott inherited a considerable estate from his father it would appear that he found it inade­ quate to care for his large family. After many financial re­ verses he removed with his wife and family, with the exception of John Pierceall, the oldest son, to Ohio in 1835. John P. had become well established in Virginia as a surveyor and re­ mained in that state. William Kearfott died in Adams county, Ohio in 1840, his wife surviving him until 1844. Mary Tate Kearfott married James Howard and· died soon after giving birth to a son, Alfred Howard. Alfred How­ ard was raised in his grandfather's home until manhood when he married Nancy Lemen, sister of John P. Kearfott's wife, Hester. Alfred Howard and his wife moved to Ohio soon after their marriage and settled near Zanesville. I. John Pierceall Kearfott, born Dec. 14, 18o4 on the plan­ tation of his father, \Villiam Kearfott at White Post in Fred­ erick county, Va. As a youth he was a student in the Win­ chester Academy and boarded with his aunt, Mrs. McSherry, who kept the "Indian Queen Tavern" in Winchester. Especial­ ly fond of mathematics and philosophy, so rapid was his pro­ gress that when the pri~cipal of the school resigned on ac- ~ count of ill heal th, young Kearfott, at the age of eighteen, was asked by the trustees to take charge of the school. 90 VvILLIAM KERFOOTT of FREDERICK COUNTY, VA.

"FAN CY HILL" Former home of John Pierceall Kearfott (18o4-18S1) near 1fartinsburg, West Va. The house was destroyed by fire about £if ty years ago.

He became a lieutenant of the Virginia Militia in 1822 and was advanced to a captaincy the following year. In his twenty first year he married Cynthia A. Bowles but his bride died within twelve months. In 1827 he married Hester Lemen, of Kearneysville, daughter of a pioneer family in the Shenandoah region. After leaving Winchester in 1828 the young couple moved to Mill Creek in Berkeley county where Mr. Kearfott taught school for eight years. While teaching he studied engineering and developed much skill in practical surveying. He was elected County Surveyor of Berkeley in 1830 and continued to fill that office until the Civil War. Although Berkeley was within that part of Virginia ,vhich remained loyal to the Union, Mr. Kearfott's sympathies were with the Southern cause. Two of his sons were in Stuart's cavalry and Mr. Kear­ fott was imprisoned by the Federal authorities for his attitude for a short term. Photo taken about 1850 Photo taken about 1875

After the close of hostilities he was again elected to the surveyor's office which because of his ability, integrity and popularity he held until the end of his life. Many of the estates belonging to members of the family in Frederick county were mapped by him. Besides the general surveying in his ovvn and neighboring counties where he was considered an authority in settling disputes concerning boun­ dary lines. Engineering work of his is noted in the "Bloomery Grade" from Martinsburg to the Morgan county line; the turnpike from Williamsport to the Frederick county line; ad­ ditions to the town of Martinsburg and the beautiful Green­ hill Cemetery where his remains now lie. A map of Berkeley county drawn by him in 1847 and lithographed by David Strother is filed in the Congressional Library at Washington. In 1835 his father, William Kearfott, accompanied by eleven of his sons and dau·ghters decided to move to the newly opened lands of Ohio. John P. Kearfott, at that time well es­ tablished as a surveyor, elected to remain in Virginia. In this year he was admitted to the Baptist church, joining Mt. Zion church in Berkeley county. He was chosen clerk and treasurer of the church and later made a deacon which office he held for forty-six years. In 1853 he purchased the homestead which he called "Fancy Hill'' and here he lived until the time of his death in 1881. His widow survived him but a few month~. Their children were: i.

Dec. 25, r815 in Frederick Co., Va., immigrated with his father, \Villiam Kear­ fott, III, and four brothers and six sisters to Ohio in 1835 where he settled in Marion County. Here he farmed near the 92 WILLIAM KERFOOOT of FREDERICK CouNTY, VA. town of Newark and erected for his family the first "hewn" log house in that section, which was considered a fine home in those days. He was loyal to the Union during the war between the states and it is said that many letters of sharply differing opinion passed between himself and his older brother John Pierceall Kearfott apropos the Secession. The latter remained in Virginia and threw in his lot with his native state, two of his sons enlisting in Stuart's Cavalry, while his namesake and the son of his brother Hoagland, John Pierceall Kear£ott, en­ listed in an Ohio regiment and died for the Union at Fred­ ericksburg in 1862. At the close of the Civil War Hoagland Kearfott decided to move to Illinois with his family. They were en route by wagon train when the news of Lincoln's assassination reached them. Hoagland Kearfott married Mary Ann Laughery who died in 188o after bearing him eleven children. Mr. Kear£ ott survived his wife until 18g1. Their remains are buried in Grid­ ley, Ill.

Robert William Kearfott, was born July 19, 1828 in Berkeley county, West Virginia. His boyhood days were spent on his father's farm, "Fancy Hill" and at nearby Martinsburg he received his early education. While still a young man he left his father's home and went to Baltimore to enter business. Eventually he became identified with the wholesale dry goods establishment of Thornton Campbell Dunham, a prominent merchant of that city. The association was a highly successful one, for the young man not only became a partner of his former employer but a son-in-law as well, marrying Mr. Dunham's daughter, Anna Eliza, on June 5, 1855. At this time Robert Kearfott was 27 and his bride r8 years of age. The wholesale business in Baltimore was quite successful for a time but the outbreak of the Civil War proved disastrous to the enterprise, and having lost all of his investment, Mr. Kearfott with his small family returned to his father's home in West Virginia. Two children had blessed their union in Baltimore, 1. Corinne Louisa Kearfott, b. March 25, 1856 and 2. Thornton Pierceall Kearfott, b. Oct. 3, 1859. Thornton, how­ ever, died of scarlet fever on February 26, 1862 soon after his parents returned to West Virginia. A second son was born to them in West Virginia. 3. William Dunham Kearfott, on Jan. 12, 1864. The young husband labored in his father's fields helping to carry on the work at home to offset the handships of ,var. Over-exerting himself at this task in the heat of the day he received a sun-stroke from which he died three months later on Christmas Eve, 1864 KEARFOTT 97

His young widow was left with but limited resources other than her husband's insurance to support her two chil­ dren. At the request of her brother, Will Dunham, she and her family went to reside with him in Richmond, Va. She re­ mained in her brother's home until his untimely death which was caused by the collapse of the Richmond Court House where he was attending an important trial. During her stay in Richmond, Mrs. Kearfott was for­ tunate to make some very dear friends, among whom were Gen. and Mrs. Robert E. Lee. Among her other activities Mrs. Lee was tin ting photos of portraits of George and ,Martha Washington, her ancestors, which were sold to obtain funds to supplement the revenues of the local Episcopal church. One of these is still in the possession of the DuVal family in Winnepeg. There is also to be found an autograph album of Corinne Kearfott's in which the first name written on its pages is that of R. E. Lee. In 1870 Mrs. Kearfott went to Philadelphia and resided with her parents in that city. After the marriage of her daugh­ ter, Corinne, to the Rev. Frederic B. DuVal and their sub­ sequent departure for· Wilmington, Delaware where Mr. Du­ Val had accepted a pastorate, Mrs. Kearfott "\\7ent to Washing­ ton, D. C. Here she obtained a position in the Pension Office of the Federal Government, a post which she held until late in life. Her declining years were spent in the comfortable home of her son, William D. Kearfott, in Montclair, N. J. Here she lived until her death in 1917. The manner in which Mrs. Kearfott met the tragic events of her life demonstrated that she was a woman possessed of great strength of character and courage. Proud of spirit, she was determined that her children should have every oppor­ tunity that her circumstances and ability ,vould allo,v. She was fond of music and continued to play the piano almost to the end of her life. She loved nothing better than to have the young people gathered about her singing to her accompani­ ment. I.

Baltimore, daughter of Robert W. and Anna Dunham Kear­ fott. Lived Richmond, Va. 1864-1870, Philadelphia, 1870-75. Educated at Miss Shipley's School in Philadelphia. Met the Rev. Frederic Beale DuVal in Philadelphia while the latter was completing his course for the Presbyterian ministry at Princeton Theological Seminary. Married Mr. DuVal on Nov. 2, 1875 and accompanied him to his first church in Wilming­ ton, Del. Remained in Wilmington until 1884 when Mr. DuVal resigned his charge to accept the ministry of the W estminis­ ter Church in Toledo., Ohio. Four children were born to Mr. and Mrs. DuVal in Wilmington: I. Genevieve DuVal; 2. Lina Dunham DuVal; 3. Lorraine Elevee DuVal; and 4- Frederic Coligny DuVal. In Toledo were born: 5. Robert Kearfott DuVal; 6. Ed­ ward William DuVal (a twin) and 7. Anna Corinne DuVal. Robert DuVal (twin of Edward) did not survive but two months. The DuVal family came to Winnipeg, Canada in 1888 while that part of the Dominion was suffering from severe economic distress due to a collapsed land boom. Dr. DuVal, confident of the future prosperity of his new home land was active in bostering the lagging spirits of the inhabitants. His optimism was well founded and not only did he see his con­ gregation eventually outgrow Knox Church but also the city of Winnipeg expand to many times its original size. The Du­ Vais became British subjects while living in Winnipeg. In 1909 Dr. DuVal was Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Canada. Mrs. DuVal was by training, temperament and character admirably suited to her position as wife of a minister. The residence at 59 Donald Street was a center of interest and inspiration to the church workers. Mrs. DuVal's sincerity, tactfulness and excellent judgement inspired the respect and confidence of those with whom she came in contact and kept the women's organizations of the church operating with a minimum of friction. KEARFOTT 99

Two sons were born to the DuVals in Winnipeg; 8. Paul Guyot DuVal and 9. Merlin Kearfott DuVal. After the birth of her last child Mr. DuVal suffered in health and a condition arose which necessitated the amputa­ tion of her left leg. A partial recovery followed during which she continued to take an active interest in the work of her husband's church. Her health, however, did not continue to respond to treatment and after a lengthy illness she passed away on May 31, 1909. Upon the tombstone above her grave in Elmwood Cemetery are engraved the following lines writ­ ten by her bereaved husband. "And so, sweet soul, she passes into peace, No jeweled crown adorns her gentle brow; But nobler, far, than many queens can boast, She was sincere and true to every trust Of royal womanhood-so prudent, pure And diligent in every call of God. As daughter, wife and mother, paragon Was she to womanhood. No thought of self E'er cast a shadow o'er the sacrifice Which she made whole in service of her home Her husband, children and humanity at large, And all that heard her name, blessed God for all The Christlike love that filed her heart, And made her life so redolent of good. The flowers shall bloom o'er no more saintly grave, To memory dearer none shall ever live." I. Genevieve DuVal (Irwin), daughter of Rev. Frederic B. DuVal and Corinne (Kearfott) DuVal, born October 3, 1876 in Wilmington, Del. Moved to Winnipeg, Canada with her parents in 1888 becoming a British subject. Educated in Winnipeg. Married Rev. Herbert M. Irwin, Sept. 7, 1903, the marriage ceremony being performed by the bride's father in Knox church. After the marriage the couple were sent to Tur­ key as missionaries and spent sixteen years in that country, remaining in Turkey throughout the World War. They did heroic work during this period among the Christian refugees 100 WILLIAM KERFOOTT of FREDERICK COUNTY, VA. and orphans of the war. Many interesting and exciting experi­ ences of her service are recorded in her War Diary now pre­ served in the Hoover vVar Library at Stanford University. After the war Mr. and Mrs. Irwin returned to Winnipeg for two years where they lectured and raised funds ·for the Near East Relief. After a short pastorate in Vancouver, B. C. 1\1:r. Irwin was recalled to foreign fields, this time to Greece, to work among the Armenian and Greek refugees from Tur­ key. Mr. Irwin's efforts exceeded his strength in this charge and his death occurred in Athens. His remains were buried in that city.

2. William Dunham Kearfott, youngest son of Robert W. and Anna Dunham Kearfott was born January 12, 1864 in Martinsburg, W. Va. His early education was in the pre­ paratory schools of Richmond, Va., and Philadelphia after which he obtained employment at the age of 17 with the T. J\1orton Poole Co. of Wilmington, Del. Remaining with this company for four years he later entered the employ of the American Steam Pump Company (later International Mercan­ tile Marine Co.) as clerk of the repair shop. In three years 104 WILUAM KERFOOTT of FREDERICK CouNTY, VA. he was advanced to the position of assistant to the Superin­ tendent Engineer. In 18g3 he became manager of the Marine Department of the International Ste~m Pump Co. and continued in a mana­ gerial capacity with various marine engineering firms until 1915 when he formed the Kearfott Engineering Co. of New Jersey. The company was incorporated in New York in 1917 and began operations on the first of that year. The company's activities grew by leaps and bounds dur­ ing the period of the World War owing to the Government's determination to build a huge Merchant Marine to supply the needs of the Allies and our own troops over seas. The Kear­ f ott Engineering Co. outfitted more than a thousand steam vessels during the war and subsequently, including many for the U. S. Navy and foreign navies. The company specialized in auxiliary marine equipment, such as steering and deck machinery. Mr. Kearfott acted in the capacity of consulting engineer. His technical and manufacturing knowledge was especially serviceable to the numerous small ship yards which sprang up during the war. He drew specifications, worked out the material and operating costs and supplied the companies with the necessary machinery, etc. A recent (1940) achieve­ ment of the company was the outfitting of the new super­ liner "America" with "Kearfott" marine windows throughout. Mr. Kearfott was elected a member of the Society of Naval Architects in 1912. In addition to his very extensive business interests, Mr. Kearfott was an enthusiastic entomologist and the library of his spacious and attractive home in Montclair, New Jersey, was lined with cases containing thousands upon thousands of insects collected and classified by him. A large part of this collection was bequeathed by him to the American Museum of Natural History in New York. He was the author of numerous papers published by the journals of various Entomological Societies in New York and Canada. His interest apparently centered in this respect in the Microlepidoptera and the Tortricidae. \VILLIAM DtrNHAl\-l KEARFOTT ( tP64-1917) (Photo taken about 1895) Founder of Kearfott Engineeri,1g Company of New York

Kearfott of Berkley Co.) Va. Following the example set by his father, he studied Civil Engineering and had entered upon that profession when at the age of 25 he married Mary Ruth Gorrell, ( 1837-1873), descendant of a neighboring pioneer family, the \Tan Meters. The young couple elected to start their married life and seek their fortunes in the rapidly expanding West. After a trip across country by wagon and train they reached the Chio where they took a boat downstream as far as Cairo, then up 1o6 W~UAM K.ERFooTT of FREDERICK CouNTY, VA.

"LOVERS' RETREAT" Former home of Joseph Baker Kearfott, (1830-1899) in Berkeley Co., West Va. The house was built upon the site of an old fort used against Indian raids in Colonial days. It stands beside the ford across the Opequon Creek on the "Packhorse Trail" used by traders before tl1ere were roads in in this section.

the Mississippi into the Missouri to St. Joseph, Mo. Here they established their first home and Baker Kearfott "hung out his shingle." A map drawn by him in which he surveyed and planned the town of Elmwood, Kansas, on the prairie across the river is an interesting souvenir of this period. (Now owned by Clarence B. Kearfott of Bristol, Va.) The first child born to the young couple in St. Joseph was I. Clarence Pierceall Kearfott. 2. Hetty Bell and 3. Mary Baker were born in the new town of Elmwood across the river. The government was at that time transferring Indian tribes from the eastern st~ tes across the Mississippi and Clarence recalled how as a little boy he was borrowed for a day by an Indian chief who had lost a son of the same age. He dressed the white child in his dead son's finery and after parading him KEARFOTT 107 for a day among the teepees returned him safely to his parents. After a few years in Missouri the young wife's liealth began to fail, also, one of the little girls showed signs of lameness. Baker, unable to obtain proper medical care for his family and disturbed by the outbreak of the Civil War decided to return to his home state. It was at this time that West Virginia separated from the mother state and when Baker Ke.arfott reached his home he found that it was Union territory and invested by Union troops. The Kearfotts were Confederate in sympathy; two of Baker's brothers were with Stuart's Cavalry, while his wife's relatives, the Van Meters, were Unionists. Soon after Baker's return to his home a message came to him from his father requesting him to bring his young son to the farm house. Arrived there he learned that his brother, James, on furlough from the Confederate army had slipped through the Union lines and was paying a secret visit to his father. He had expressed a wish to see his nephew so it was arranged that Clarence should stand upon the porch in such a manner that he might be seen by his soldier uncle from behind the closed blinds of the sitting room. This ruse was necessary because of the possibility that the child might di­ vulge the presence of a Confederate in the home. In spite of the precautions the authorities learned of the visit and altho the soldier returned safely to the Confederate lines, John P. Kearfott, Sr., was arrested for "harboring enemy forces." His release was effected, however, after a short time. After the war, and as his circumstances improved, Baker Kearfott bought a farm on the banks of the Opequon which he called by the romantic name of "Lover's Retreat." The house was beside the ford across the Opequon of the old Packhorse Trail of Colonial fame. On this farm were born 4. Joseph Gorrell Kear£ ott, 5. Fannie Quick Kearfott, 6. James Lemen Kear£ ott and 7. Ella Rose Kear£ ott. The two last named died in infancy. The farm house was built in pioneer days and had been 1o8 WILUAM KERFOOTT of FREDERICK CouNTY, VA. used as a fart against the Indians. In the sill of the cellar en­ trance is a stone dated 1766. Here Baker Kearfott combined the vocations of surveying and farming. After Mrs. Kearfott's death in 1873 and when his children had almost reached maturity Baker moved to Martinsburg and sold the farm. He succeeded to his father's position as Surveyor of Berkeley county and served as admin­ istrator to numerous estates. Mr. Kearfott's second wife was Rachael Brotherton. They maintained a home on King Street until his death in 1899.. Several maps of the vicinity were drawn and published by Mr. Kearfott, among them the New Road and Township Map of Berkeley County.

1. Clarence P. Kearfott, b. 1856 in St. Joseph, Mo., oldest son of Joseph Baker Kearfott returned with his parents to Virginia during the Civil War. At the age of 17 he was ap­ prenticed to a druggist, a cousin of his mother, Dr. Joseph Gorrell of Culpeper Courthouse, Va. His apprenticeship over, he entered the National College of Pharmacy in Washington, later a part of George Washington University. His first posi­ tion after graduation was in Danville, Va., and after a few years as a pharmacist in that city he opened his· own drug store in Martinsville, some thirty miles to the west of Dan­ ville, under the firm name of Kearfott and Haile. The firm prospered and Mr. Kearfott later bought out his partner's interest in the business. Qn June 19, 1883 Mr. Kearfott married Rebecca Kratz of Martinsburg, West, Va., and this union was marked through­ out its course . by perfect concord. The young couple made their home on Gravely Street and in their home was formed the First Baptist Church of Martinsville, April 10, 1884. The growth and welfare of this church remained of prime import­ ance to Mr. and Mrs. Kearfott for the rest of their lives, Mr. Kearfott holding the office of Deacon in the church for many years. In all matters of civic improvement Mr. Kearfott was an active participant. He was a member of the first Volunteer Fire Department; he constructed the first telephone line and (LARENCE PIERC:::ALL KEARFOTT, ( 1856-1920) Pharmacist, Banker

JOSEPH (ONRAD KEARFOTT, ( 1885- ) Pharmacist

KEARFOTT I09 organized the first telephone company in Henry County, the "central" of which was in the rear of his store. He was active in organizing the municipal water and electric systems, and was a trustee and an organizer of several of the private schools formed in the town. He was a charter member of the People's Bank, a director of the organization and for a number of years before his death, its president. Mr. Kearfott was appointed to the Va. State Board of Pharmacy- in 18g6 by Governor O'Ferral and served with this body for eighteen years. Upon his retirement from the Board in 1912 he was presented with a "Resolutions of Esteem" by the remaining members of the State Board. With all his business and civic interests Mr. Kearfott maintained an active interest in chemistry and among other studies made a valuable researcp. into the production and use of acetylene gas. In the course of an experiment in April, 1910, an explosion occurred in which Mr. Kearfott narrowly es­ caped serious injury and his store was partially destroyed by fire. In 1910, J. Conrad Kearfott joined his father in parner­ ship under the firm name of C. P. Kearfott and Son and was able in later years to relieve his father of much of the burden of business. In the last years of his life Mr. Kearfott enjoyed spending the winter months in the milder climate of Florida. His active nature would not allow him to consent to retire from business and one of his last enterprises was the building of a new home on Starling Avenue. He did not live long to enjoy the new home for just a month after moving into the new quarters he was stricken with a heart attack and died during the night of October 18, 1920. His widow survived him until 1928, her grave being placed at his in the Martinsville Cemetary. His was a generous, sunny nature, ever ready for a cheery word for a neighbor or friend. He had a remarkable fondness for children, so well reciprocated that on his daily route from home to store children used to wait to greet him as he passed. Deeply pious and unswer.ving in the path of 110 WILUAM KERFOOTT of FREDERICK CouNTY, VA. duty he was none the less a lover of fun and company ·at a good table. At his death the following resolutions were pub­ lished by the People's National Bank : "Since our last annual meeting Dr. C. P. Kearfott has departed this life. Being one of its charter members and close identified with its progress and growth, we feel that it is appropriate that we place on record a testimonial of his worth as a man, banker, merchant and citizen. Coming to this community nearly forty years ago, by industry, integrity, intelligence and faithfulness to duty he built up a most useful business, which stands in our midst as a synonym for reliability. His worth as a citizen was a splendid example to the young; his fidelity to his church the subject of general comment. His judgement as a banker and his faithfulness to the trust which he held as its president is now shown in the strength of this institution. His standing as a man was one of which his family, his friends, his associates and the community may be proud." His children were: I.

111. Levi Hansha,v Kearfott, son of John Pierceall and Hester Lemen Kearfott, was born in Berkeley county, Va., in 1833. He grew to manhood upon his father's farm and was taught the rudiments of surveying by his father. In 1854 he. married Elizabeth Daily, daughter of John and Nancy Daily of Berkeley county. His older brother, Joseph Baker !(earfott, also a surveyor, and likewise recently married, having determined to try his fortune in the expanding West, Levi Kearfott and his bride decided to accompany him to St. Joseph, Mo., at that time a busy center of activity on the frontier. It was the hey-day of the "land speculator," and a boom was in full swing. N e,v towns on the Mississippi and on the prairies of Kansas were springing up over night, at least on paper, and surveyors were obviously in demand. After five years of life on the frontier, during which time they lost their first child, I. Sally Summers Kearfott, b. 1854, d. 1856, Levi Kear£ ott and his wife returned to Virginia in 1858. Three other children were born to them in Berkeley county; 2. William Pierceall Kearfott, b. 1859; 3. Charles Cur­ tis Kearfott, b. 1861, d. 1862; 4. Hetty Amelia Kearfott, b. 1862, d. inf. Mrs. Kearfott did not long survive the birth of her last child and died in the same year. 2. William Pierceall Kearfott, son of Levi H. and Eliza­ beth Kearfott, b. 1859 in Berkeley county, Va., went to Springfield, Ohio, in 188o at the age of 21. Here he married in 1883 Sarah Ann Town of Cleveland, Ohio. In 1895 he went to Chicago, Ill., where he practiced his profession of metal­ lurgist and resided until his death in 1936. 1\1:rs. Kearfott sur­ vived her husband but one year. Their children were: 1. Emma Mae Kearfott, b. Springfield, 0., 1884, m. 191 I Charles A. Drake. Present address, Chicago, 111. No children. 2.

II, 1844 and grew to manhood on his father's farm called "Fancy Hill" near Martinsburg. At the outbreak of the Civil War, he and his brother, vi. James Lemen Kearfott, joined the Confederate Army and became privates in Co. B, Ist Va. Cavalry. Under the command of the dashing Gen. J. E. B. Stuart, both recruits took part in numerous engagements with the enemy and each spilled his blood in the Confederate cause. James Lemen Kearfott gave his life at the battle of Stannards­ ville on Nov. 23, 1864, and John P. Kearfott was wounded at Kennan's Landing on June 5th of the same year. During the campaign of 1862 when their home was in Union hands the two young cavalrymen made their way through the Union lines to pay a visit to their father. There was a dramatic moment when the brothers, on entering their KEARFOTT 125 home, found a soldier in the blue uniform of the Union seated in conversation with their father. The Union soldier was a first cousin from Ohio, also named John P. Kearfott ! A family armistice was momentarily declared and the Confederates were able to return safely to their lines. On another visit to their father it is said that John P. Kearfott found his retreat cut off and Union troops search­ ing for him. He escaped by concealing himself in the gallery of old Mt. Zion Baptist church nearby while a "schoolmarm·' and her classes droned through their exercises, unconsciou 5 of the "rebel'' overhead. After ./\ ppomatox Mr. Kearfott returned to his home and on May 22, 1866 married Mary Sidney Deck and vvent to live at "Rockdale" an estate inherited from his mother, Hester Lemen Kearfott. (The original title to this property of 570 acres was vested in Nickolas Lemen by patent or grant of Thomas, Lord Fairfax, under seal of the Crown and bearing the date, 1756. It is preserved in the county archives at Charlestown.) At Rockdale l\1r. Kearfott followed the pursuits of a pros­ perous, progressive farmer. Popular and greatly respected by all his community, he vvas sent to Charleston, the state capitol, as delegate for his county for the terms 1912-13. Devoutly religious, J\1r. Kearfott was a member of the Baptist church throughout his life. He was Supt. of the Sunday School of the Baptist church at Leetown for over forty years, treasurer of the church and clerk of the Board of Deacons until a short time before his death which occurred on July r, 1926. His ,,vife had passed a,vay thirteen years earlier in r913. They had but one child: I. vViiliam Harrison Kearfott,b. Sept. 21, 1868, d. 1930. He married r,J anny Bell Herr and they lived ,vith his father at Rockdale. Children: I. Mary Genevieve I(earf ott, b. Sept. 2, 1889; married Robert A. Fontaine of IVIartinsville, Va. Manufacturer.

WilJ JAM KERFOOTI ( -1779) of Frederick County, Va.

Descendants of h,s son, Samuel Kerfoot

Samuel Kerfoot, third son of William Kerfoot, was born in 1763, the year his father purchased his plantation besides the Opequon in Frederick County, Va. The records disclose little concerning his life other than that he was co-executor with his brother, William, of his father's. estate and lived on an adjoining plantation. His wife, whom he married in 1784, was Elizabeth Chipley, daughter of . Capt. Chipley of the Revolutionary Anny. Samuel Kerfoot died in 18r6, apparently without making a will. In the Frederick county records, however, is found an account of the division of his slaves after his death among his heirs. This account is printed below, not only to show how such chattels were apportioned in those days, but also as evidence that William G. Kerfoot, son of Samuel's brother, George, was one of the heirs to these slaves, presumably be­ cause of his marriage to Samuel's daughter, Sally. Apparently, in making a division of slaves it was custo­ mary to appraise the total value of slaves to be apportioned. The sum thus arrived at was allocated equally among the heirs, and then the individual value of each slave in money was determined by the appraisers, whereupon the heirs drew lots to see who would receive each slave. If one drew a slave valued at more than his alloted portion of the total he was obliged to return the difference in money to the estate. If on the contrary, his ticket in this human lottery netted him less than his portion, the estate was required to make up the dif­ ference. April 5, 1816 DIVISION OF SLAVES OF SAMUEL KERFOOT, Decsd.

Appraisers: James J. Sowers, Harry Groves, Samuel Bryarly. Samuel Kerfoot's widow did not survive him for many years for in 1820 it is recorded that James and George Kerfoot, orphans of Samuel Kerfoot chose as their guardian, William G. Kerfoot, their first cousin and (presumably) their brother­ in-Ia,v. The children of Samuel Kerfoot were: I. William S. Kerfoot, b. 1785 Frederick Co., served in the War of 1812 as a Corporal in the 51 Va. Regt. of which his uncle., James Sowers, was captain under the command of Col. James McDowell. This regiment was formed in Frederick county. William S. Kerfoot married Nancy Timberlake on Jan. 2, 1815. While no definite information concerning the descendants of William S. Kerfoot has appeared so far it is known that he did have children and that he lived in Pennsylvania for a while. A William Carefoot applied for a pension from that state as a veteran of the War of 1812. (Penn. Archives, Vol. 23, p. 481) .. By indirect evidence there are three families of Kerfoots, one in Los Angeles, California; one in Uniontown, Penn., and one in Hagersto,vn, Md., ,vhich may represent descendants of William S. Kerfoot. Yet none of these groups has furnished the name of the ancestor which vvould establish the connection definitely. For this reason they have been placed upon the Samuel Kerfoot chart (No. X.) with a question mark thus ( ?) to indicate that the connection is not proven. The indirect evidence is as follows : the California family and the Pennsylvania fa1nilies each claim to have descended from Virginia ancestors. The California group can not trace KERFOOT 135 their ancestry beyond a George W. Kerfoot who once lived in Lancaster, Pa., Martinsburg, West Va., and Cabletown, Va., prior to the Civil \Var in which he fought on the Confederate side. He moved to the West after the war. He had three brothers, Richard, James and William. The father of Mr. John Davis Kerfoot, of Uniontown, Pa., was named Jefferson Davis Kerfoot, which certainly indicates Confederate sympathies. Jefferson Davis Kerfoot was the son of Richard D. Kerfoot, who may have been the brother of George W. Kerfoot above. The only other Richard Kerfoot who lived to maturity in the family records was Richard A. Ker£ oot who was born in Dayton, 0., a grandson of Richard Kerfoot, of Dublin and Lancaster, Pa. All of this family were Union in sympathy in the Civil War, and the children of Richard A. Kerfoot are listed on chart XL So it could not have been this family. The Union town, Pa., family claims kinship to the Ker­ foots of Hagerstown, Md., where there is a Richard .D. Ker­ foot living today. Now, all the male Kerfoot lines in the Virginia families have been traced down with the exception as noted of the line of William S. Kerfoot. It would seem that there is no other place to tie these lines to the Virginia branch except under William S. Kerfoot. Hence they are tentatively included here under the reservations stated previously.

In 1824 (approximately) he married Margaret Ann Lampton, a sister of Jane (Lampton) Clemens, mother of the immortal Samuel Clemens, known to the world as Mark Twain. The children of Samuel Kerfoot, II were : i. Eliza Kerfoot, married Henry Klinglesmith. ii. John Samuel Kerfoot, b. Hardin Co., Ky. 1827, d. r917. Married 1850 Nancy Williams of Hardin county.

When he v1as eighteen years of age Mr. Kerfoot left his home in Kentucky and entered upon an adventurous and colorful life for a period of years which led him eventually through most of the states west of the Mississippi from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. With his brothers, Marion M., George and Cornelius he made the celebrated "Run" in 1889 when the "Cherokee Strip'' as it was then called was first opened to se_ttlers. This was, probably, the last frontier in the Union and fertile farm sites were offered free by the Govern­ ment to those first upon the spot to establish their claims. As a consequence thousands of land hungry settlers were lined KERFOOT 137 up by ·the U. S. Army and at the firing of a signal gun began that tumultous dash on foot, on horseback and in wagons into the coveted lands which is known to history as the "Cherokee Run." Thus four Kerfoot brothers became pioneers in Oklahoma Territory. After establishing their claims at Kingfisher, they opened one of the first dry-goods and grocery stores in that region. Some years later they were among the founders of the town of El Reno, and built and operated the Kerfoot Hotel in that city. In 1901, in partnership with his brothers in law, Eugene Miller and Dr. Arnold, John S. Kerfoot opened the first wholesale dry-goods store in Oklahoma City. In his later years Mr. Kerfoot retired from the dry-goods business and became active in real estate and in the loan business. Mr. Kerfoot's death occured in Oklahoma City Sept. 18, 1937.

RICHARD KERFOOT (1790-1825) of Lancaster County, Pa. and Descendants

Richard Kerfoot, first of his line to come to America, was born in Castle Blaney in Monaghan Co., Ireland (circa) 1790. He established a home in Dublin, and married Christiana Barrett, daughter of John Barrett of County Armagh and Dublin. Four children were born of this union in Dublin: George Barrett Kerfoot; John Barrett Kerfoot, b. 1816; Rich­ ard A. Ker£ oot; Ann Jane Ker£ oot. In the spring of 1818 Richard Kerfoot decided to seek his fortune in America and settled in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Finding the country and the prospects to his liking he sent for his wife and children who joined him in the fall of the same year. Two more children were born in Lancaster; Leland Kerfoot and Samuel H. Kerfoot. Richard Kerfoot did not survive long in the new country, however, for his death occurred in 1825. His widow must have been a woman of exceptional resource and energy, alone in a new country, to have raised so successfully her family of six children, two of whom became men outstanding in their professions. Her later years were spent in the home of her daughter, Ann Jane, who married a Mr. Lewis of Dayton, 0. George Barrett Kerfoot, oldest son of Richard Kerfoot, was born in Dublin and came to America with his mother in 1818. After completing his preliminary studies in Lancaster, Pa., he entered the study of medicine and was graduated fro1n the medical school in Philadelphia in 1830. Returning to Lan­ caster he developed a successful practice and continued in that profession greatly respected and esteemed until his death. He married Eliza Reed by whom he had five children: I. George Kerfoot; II. Louisa Kerfoot; III. WiHiam Dale Ker­ £oot married Susan Dalton Moaklee. IV. Eliza Reed Kerfoot, married D. J. Eschback. V. Henrietta Kerfoot. III. \Villiam Dale Kerfoot, born 1837 in Lancaster, Pa., died Jan. 1918 in Chicago, became a very successful business man in Chicago and headed one of the city's largest and oldest 144 RICHARD KERFOOT of LANCASTER COUNTY, PA.

Real Estate firms. It is said that after the great fire that devastated Chicago in 187r, Mr. Kerfoot was found to have saved the only Real Estate map of the city and that all sub­ sequent boundary disputes had to be decided with reference to this solitary map. Mr. Ker£ oot occupied several positions of importance in Chicago's public life. He was Comptroller of Currency under 1\1:ayor Carter Harrison and an official of the Columbian Ex­ position of 18g3 as well being a director in several of Chicago's banks. He married Susan Dalton Moaklee of Maysville, Ky., in 1845. Their children were : i. Susan Kerfoot ; ii. William Ker­ foot; iii. George Kerfoot; iv. Margaret Dalton Kerfoot, b. Chicago 1870, married Henry Eager Mason in 18g2. Their children were: 1. Russell Mason, b. Chicago. 2. \Villiam Ker­ foot Mason, b. Chicago. 3.

John Barrett Kerfoot, second son of Richard Kerfoot was born in Dublin in 1816. He was brought to America at the age of two by his mother who joined her husband in Lan­ caster, Pa., in 1818. As a schoolchild his exceptional capabili­ ties had been so noted that on the occasion of a visit to his school by General Lafayette the boy of nine was selected from among his classmates to deliver a welcoming speech to the General. As a youth he continued to show such promise that a friend of his widowed mother assisted him to continue his studies in the higher schools on Long Island. Here he later BISHOP JOHN BARRETT KERFOOT, (1816-1881)

KERFOOT 145 entered the Episcopal Seminary and was ordained a minister in 1842. While at the Seminary he became greatly attracted to his celebrated teacher, the Rev. William Muhlenberg, whose warm friendship and kindly guidance he cherished throughout his life. Soon after his entrance into the ministry he married Eliza M. Anderson, daughter of Abel T. Anderson :tnd Helena Kip, the latter a member of the well known famiiy of Dutch descent. In 1843 he accepted the position of head-master of St. James' Hall in Maryland, near Hagerstown, and not far from the Pennsylvania state line. This was one of the first Epis­ copal schools for boys in America and youths from both the North and the South were trained here for their entrance into the universities. Th~ institution prospering under his direc­ tion, Mr. Kerfoot remained its principal for twenty-three years. In the conflict between the States Mr. Kerfoot remained a Union supporter and maintained his school, situated as it was so close to the border, with the greatest difficulty. When the Southern artl!y penetrated Pennsylvania just before the Battle of Gettysburg he was forced to abandon the property for Confederate troops formed a battle line on the school grounds. Returning after the hostilities he found the buildings little damaged by shell fire but ransacked and robbed of everything movable. During the winter of 63-64 the Rev. Dr. Boyd, Mr. Con­ rad and Mr. Dandridge of Winchester, Va., had been arrested by the Federal authorities during the occupation of Win­ chester and were held as hostages for certain members of the West Virginia Legislature who had been arrested by the Confederate forces. An exchange of hostages was eventually effected, except in the case of Dr. Boyd. When the Confeder­ ate troops under Gen. Jubal Early invested St. James Hall Mr. Kerfoot was arrested and held as a hostage for the return of Dr. Boyd. He was kept away from his family for many weeks and it was only after an appeal made by a group of his 146 RICHARD KERFOOT of LANCASTER CouNTY, PA. friends to Lincoln himself that Dr. Boyd was released· and Mr. Kerfoot returned to his family. Shortly after the closing of St. James' Hall, Mr. Kerfoot was offered and accepted the Presidency of Trinity College in Hart£ord, Conn. In 1865 he was elected a Bishop of the Episcopal church and became the 1st Bishop of Pittsburg. He resided in that city until his death _which occurred in 1881. In his capacity as Bishop he made several trips to Eng­ land on Church matters, and a number of papers of his author­ ship pertaining to church doctrine and government are re­ corded in the N. Y. Public Library. He was the recipient of many scholastic and church honors and was a trustee of the General Theological Seminary. From his letters and excerpts from his diary preserved in his biography by the Rev. Hall Harrison it is• evident that Bishop Kerfoot was a man not only of the highest character and scholarship but a gifted writer as well. His diary gives a vivid picture of his experiences during the Civil War. His letters to his family display a delicate sense of humor and great tenderness and solicitude for his loved ones. His children were: Rev. Abel A. Kerfoot, b. 1843, d. 188o. William Muhlenberg Kerfoot, b. 1847, d. 1851; John Barrett Kerfoot, b. 1850, d. 1853; Helena Kerfoot, b. 186o, d. 1862. A daughter.
