| 425 | John Stadler was a well-respected minister in Caswell, Co. NC. The following biography of Johgn Stadler is taken from the minutes of the Gilliam Association in Alamance Co., North Carolina on Aug. 18-20, 1860. A Biographical Sketch of Elder John Stadler "Who was born in Granville County, North Carolina, on the 6th day of August, 1792, of poor but highly respectable parents. His father having been drowned, he became an orphan while yet an infant, and upon his mother depended the onerous duty of rearing a large family of children, how nobly she performed that sacred duty, the deceased is a living example. But her physical ability was unequaled to the laborious task that had devolved upon her, and necessity compelled her to hire out his brother and himself to obtain the means of support for the younger members of the family, thereby preventing the deceased from enjoying those opportunities of acquiring an education, which are offered to the poorest of our people. He attended school for one month only, but an all- wise God had provided a better instructor for him than the mere works of men. The subject of this memoir was married on the 12th day of December, 1812, in his 21st year, to Miss Nancy Arnold, who, also was of poor but respectable parents, with whom he lived to the day of his death and by whom he had thirteen children, all of whom they raised to be men and women. Though poor and laboring hard to support his family, yet the Lord had a greater work for him to perform. God was pleased to awaken him to a sense of his lost and ruined state, and he made a profession of a saving interest in Christ, on the 5th day of November, 1820, and joined the church together with his wife at Bush Arbor, in Caswell County, at their May meeting 1821, and continued to be an orderly member and leading one till death. He commenced his glorious career as a minister of the Gospel at the fountain on the morning of his baptism, and was ordained on the 11th of November 1822. He soon became known far and near, proclaiming the riches of divine grace as often as his situation would admit of. The Lord seemed to look with a favoring eye and to bless all labors both in the ministry and in his worldly affairs. He soon became a great and useful preacher, many becoming alarmed under his preaching, many were confirmed in his hopes, and the sheep were fed. Traveling far and near, he preached the unsearchable riches of Christ the Redeemer. During his ministry the Missionary God was introduced, creating divisions and dissensions among the Baptist. He remained firm and no one raised his banner against the false God sooner, or opposed it with more unyielding firmness than he, admonishing with true eloquence and convincing arguments, his brethren to beware of the new God, and to flee from it as from the evil one. Though without the benefits derived from an education, yet his appeals in behalf of the Savior's undying love were so heart stirring, his eloquence so moving-his arguments so firm and unanswerable-his reasoning so convincing that none could gain-say or confound his doctrine. Having the scriptures at command he used the sword of Spirit with power and effect. He was called to the pastoral care of four churches, Lick Fork, Bush Arbor, Gilliam's and Deep Creek, and in that capacity he served the churches faithfully and satisfactorily to his death. The greater portion of the older brethren, who called him to this charge have long preceded him to that bourne whence no traveler returns, and the present members are the fruits of his ministry. He was chosen Moderator of the Country Line Primitive Baptist Association, in the year 1832, which honorable position he filled with so much credit to himself, and satisfaction to the Association that he was annually re-elected until death. If ill feelings and dissensions raised their heads in any of the churches within the Association, he it was, who poured the Holy Oil on the agitated waters and restored good will and brotherly love among the brethren. He was like-wise ever ready to assist the sister Associations in reconciling their difference, and his efforts were ever crowned with success. Conscious of his declining years and shortness of his days, and knowing that the "Harvest was great and the laborers few", he preached more, if possible, in his old age than in his youth, and his efforts were more successful. He increased his travels preaching the Holy Gospel and warning his bearers to flee the wrath to come, and strengthening the brethren and entreating them to remain firm in their faith. He seemed to be the favorite and was generally selected to preach their funerals, and always complied with this request by paying the last tribute to the dead. His labors were incessant, and burden-some; but when entreated by his friends to spare his health by desisting from his labors, his invariable reply was, "I prefer wearing myself away to rusting away," and that he wanted to die preaching; it seemed that a kind Providence granted both of his wishes. He preached at Lick Fork on Sunday preceding his death from 14th Chapter of the Gospel by John, 6th verse, "Jesus saith until him, I am the way, the truth and the life; no man cometh unto the father but by me," with as much power and zeal as I ever heard him, and all who heard him felt that the Lord was with him. Immediately after church he felt the cold hands of disease seize upon him, the following night he spent with an old sister in the Gospel, when he grew worse notwithstanding all their efforts to relieve him, they wished to call in a physician but he objected, saying he would return home to die with his nearest and dearest friends on earth. The next morning he hastened home to die with his dear wife and children whom he continued to exhort, with all the friends who visited him, to prepare for the life to come. He departed this life on Thursday, the 6th day of March 1860, and I think that he might adopt the language of the Apostle: "For I am now ready to be offered, the time of my departure is at hand, I have fought a good fight - I have finished my course - I have kept the faith - henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness"." Another tribute to John Stadler copied from the Minutes of the Kehukee Baptist Association meeting held Oct. 6-8, 1860 at the Cross Roads Church in Edgecombe Co., NC is reproduced below: lder John Stadler "The Messengers composing the Kehukee Association, convened with the Church at Cross Roads, Edgecombe County, October, 1860, feel called on to notice the death of our estimable friend and worthy brother in Christ, Elder John Stadler, of Caswell County, North Carolina, who departed this life at his own residence, on the 8th March, 1860, in the 68th year of his age. Elder Stadler had been chosen Messenger from the Country Line to the Kehukee Association for twenty-one consecutive years, commencing with the year 1838, and ending in 1859. He failed only once, viz. in 1844; so that he attended the Kehukee Sessions precisely 20 years. He was so uniformly with us, that he appeared very much like one of our own members. His advise in matters of discipline, was always highly regarded and duly appreciated, and his preaching eminently useful and acceptable. We miss him very much now - he is gone home to the great Association above. We deeply sympathize with his own Association in her loss. But what is their loss, is his gain. The number of the redeemed is no less by his being removed to another apartment. His great interest in the welfare of the Churches, the wide field of his ministry, and the strict purity of his moral deportment, constituted him one of the remarkable men of his age; and his memory we think will long be cherished with affection by the household of faith and all his surviving acquaintances." John Stadler made a will dated 15 Sept. 1854. In his will, he names his wife Nancy, daughter Mary While Massey, sons, John T., Robert D., William B., Rese E., Barzillai B., James L, and Stephen C., and daugher Martha F. McKinney, daugher Maylai Susan, deceased daughter Nancy A. Allred, and grandchildren Elizabeth L. and John B. Allred . The will states that Elizabeth L. and John B. Allred are to get the share of their mother Nancy A. Allred. Caswell Co. Will Book S, p. 228. | Stadler, John (I2438)

| 430 | John Vass, whose will was proved in Essex Co., named the following issue: Phillip Vincent, John Jr, Henry, Reuben, Ann Brooks, and Catherine Jones (who was deceased at the time her father’s will was written). Phillip Vincent Vass, who was living in Spotsylvania Co., received his father’s plantation and sold it to William Roane of Essex Co. John Vass and his wife Rachel [Pendleton] conveyed 250 acres of land in Essex Co. Va, to Vincent Vass by a lease and release deed dated 18/19 Mar 1750/51. Vincent Vass and his wife Winifred Vass later conveyed this land to Henry Vass, his presumed brother, by deed dated 17 Feb 1759. Witnesses were William Brooke Jr., John Brooke, and John Cheney. The Essex County order books (OB 25:267) for 1763-1764 refer to a chancery suit: JOHN VASS adm. etc. of ELIZABETH VASS...VASS an infant by the said JOHN VASS his father, Thomas Sale [Saile] and Mary or Molly his wie and Catherine Rose widow, complaintant vs. John Robinson Esq. surviving Ex. of William Beverley Esq. who was the surviving ex. of Robert Brooke Gent. dec'd John Rowzee Gent. adm. of Susanna Rowzee dec'd & Sarah Rowzee an infant by the said John Rowzee her guardian for this purpose appointed defendants in chancery.

Post 454, Vass Forum, Genforum by James Voss. On 18/19 March 1750/51, JOHN VASS of South Farnham parish, Es sex County, and his wife Rachel executed a deed of lease and release to VINCENT VASS of Stratton Major parish, King and Queen (K&Q) Coun ty.

On 17 Feb 1759, VINCENT VASS and WINNIFRED his wife of Esse x County, conveyed 240 acres of land to HENRY VASS of Essex.

| 448 | John Wright (Goochland County Carpenter) was born probably before 1719, married Judith Easly probably before 1736, and died after 1772. His parents are as yet unidentified, but our current focus is on the family of 1690 Francis Wright of Lancaster County, Virginia, and his wife Mary (Hill) (Wright) Lawrence. Was a carpenter in Goochland Co., Va. On 10 Apr 1739 John Wright of Goochland Co. purchased 358 acres of land in Goochland Co., Va on the branches of Lickinghole Creek from Robert Mimms. The land was originally patented by David Mimms by patent dated 31 Oct 1731. The deed was witnessed by John Mimms, John McFarland, ad David A. Mimms and recorded 15 May 1739. Goochland Co., Virginia Deed Book 3, p. 213. On 25 Sep 1741 John Right and his wife Judith of St. James Parish sold 179 acres of land on Lickinghold Creek in Goochland Co. to Stephen Clement. This land was half the land that John Wright purchased of Robert Mimms. The deed was witnessed by Josias Payne, John Moriss and Benjamin Salmon and recorded on 17 Nov 1741. Goochland Co. Virginia Deed Book 3, p. 491. On 19 Nov 1751, John Wright sold 60 acres of land in Goochland Co., to Robert Pleasants of Henrico Co. This 60 acres was also part of the land that John Wright acquired of Robet Mimms in 1739, leaving John Wright with approximately 119 acres. The deed was witnessed by John Thaxton, Wm. Harding and Wm.

| 449 | John Wright of Bedford County, Virginia, was born probably between June 10, 1732, and June 11, 1736, married Mary Pace on January 14, 1756, at Goochland County, Virginia, and died before Dec 26, 1814, at Bedford County, Virginia. His parents were John Wright (Goochland County Carpenter) and Judith (Easly) Wright. John Wright Jr. appears in the tithe lists in the years 1752, 1754, 1755 and 1756 in the household of his father John Wright. He was not listed in the 1748 tithe lists or any earlier tithe lists, suggesting that he was born sometime between 1732 and 1736. John Wright Jr first appears in a separate household in 1757. The establishment of a separate residence by John Wright Jr. coincides with his marriage to Mary Pace in 1756. The Douglas Register for Goochland Co. Virginia lists the following marriage: “Wright, John, & Mary Pierce, both in this parish 1756, Jan. 14, p.2” A second listing for the marriage appears as follows: “Marriages Not Recorded By Rev. Wm. Douglas But Indicated By The Birth Registry. Date here given, unlessotherwise specified, is the birth date of first child shown in this register. ... Wright, John, & Mary Pace 14 Nov. 1765.” It seems likely that Mary Pierce and Mary Pace are the same person. John Wright Jr. appears in the Goochland Co. tithe lists in each year from 1760 through 1768. He does not appear in any tax lists in Goochland Co. Virginia after 1768, likely because he moved to Bedford Co. sometime in 1768. Two deeds, one dated 27 Aug 1765 and the other dated 23 June 1767 reflect the purchase by Wright of a tract of land in Bedford Co. containing approximately 300 acres. from John Eckhols Both deeds identify John Wright as being of Goochland Co. Virginia. The descriptions in the two deeds do not match exactly but appear to involve the same piece of property. Apparently, a second deed was drawn due to errors in the legal description of the first deed. Bedford Co. Deed Book 2, p. 642 and Bedford Co. Deed Book 3, p. 111. The Douglas Register for Goochland Co, lists the followng births for John Wright: “John Wright & Mary Pierce a son named Joseph born Mar: 17, 1757. Baptized 1757 Apr:17. p. 50.” “John Wright & Mary Pace* a son named John born Aug: 1, 1759. Baptized 1759 Sep: 2. p. 55. ... *Pierce in marriage records.” “John Wright & Mary Pierce a Son named James born Mar: 5, 1761. Baptized 1761 Ap: 12. p. 59.” “John Wright & Mary Pace a Daughter named Ann born Nov: 14, 1765. Baptized Dec: 22, 1765. p.72” “John Wright and Mary Pace a Daughter named Mary born Jan: 13 1768. Baptized Ap: 1, 1768. p 80” There are no entires in the Douglas Register for John and Mary Wright after 1768. On March 15, 1768, at Goochland County, Virginia, D.B. 9/132 Ann Pace, widow, appointed John Wright, Jr., the husband of her daughter Mary, as her attorney in fact to act for her in connection with a suit in the General Court against Richard Stark to recover certain slaves. On March 15, 1768, at Goochland County, Virginia, Ct.O.B. 11/161 Anne Pace acknowledged the power of attorney from her to John Wright, Jr. The will of John Wright dated 28 Dec. 1804 and probated 20 Dec. 1814 in Bedford Co., VA (Will Book 4, p. 146) refers to his unnamed wife, and his children Benjamin, Joseph, Ann Watts, John, Thomaas, Mary Watts, Elizabeth, and William.
