Mathews-Williams Family Genealogy
Notes
Randolph Cabell died in infancy.
Samuel Ball, at age 18, was sentenced to the whipping post for abusing his stepfather (Capt. Benjamin Munn) by saying to him: "A father indeed, you are no better than an old Indian". Samuel, however, was given the option of paying a fine of 50 schillings, which he did. (Source: Ancestry of Col. John Harrington Stevens and Frances Helen Miller by Mary Lovering Holman, Concord, NH, 1948).
Obituary for Dr. John W. Bronaugh: "The National Intelligencer", (Washington, DC), Saturday, October 27, 1821: On Monday last, in Dumfries, Dr. John Bronaugh, aged 46 years, sincerely lamented by his family, and every one who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. He was a kind and affectionate husband, an indulgent parent, and hamane master, as a friend warm and disinterested; and it may be truly said that: "Death has made an inroad into our society, and robbed it of one of his choicest members".
