Excerpt from The University Memorial: Biographical Sketches of Alumni of the University of Virginia Who Fell in the Confederate War, Five Volumes in One

Some attention has been given to the subject of genealogy, under the belief that this feature of the book would be valued by those who do not sympathize with the convulsions of society consequent upon the disastrous termination of the war. In this connection, Bishop Meade's Old Churches and Families of Virginia has been of invaluable service. In the frequent use that has been made of this work, the proper credit may not always have been given.
