The following linked reference sources used in the book have since been relocated

and have new Internet addresses (URL):

1.     History of the Church of the United Brethren in Christ, Virginia Conference,

by A. P. Funkhouser / compiled by Oren F. Morton.  See especially .pdf/pages

26-36; also, chapters 2, 5.

All of Funkhouser’s little book is worth reading for its overview of the religious

and social life of 18th-Century Virginians in the Shenandoah Valley, and of their

Old World sectarian heritage.
