Sketches of the Virginia Conference, Methodist Episcopal Church, South
By John James Lafferty
REV-MILTON LAFAYETTE BISHOP
A SINGLE leaf can contain a recital of deeds which have blessed thousands of hearts, the Church and the
Commonwealth, and more, made heaven glad. The simple narrative that follows these lines are without
ornament, but tells the unvarnished story of a useful life. 'We have little doubt that the readers of this brief
sketch will receive good from the perusal:
I was the third child of my parents\emdash Anna Ellis, daughter of Benjamin Ellis, and John D. Bishop, son
of Thomas Bishop, all of Surry county, Virginia. There were six children of us, two sons and four
daughters, all now living except the oldest, who died in 1847. I was born in 1824, August 22d. I never
knew any of my ancestry to follow anything but farming as a vocation. My father died when I was about
twelve years of age, and my mother in 1865, having been a Methodist from one year after I joined the
church. From my earliest recollections I was trying to be a Christian, mainly from the influence of
Christian slaves, as neither of my parents professed religion. My mother was always a pious woman. I
read my Bible regularly and prayed up to the session of the Virginia Conference held in Petersburg in
1843 (perhaps in 1842), when I openly sought conversion at the altar in Washington street church.
Though I realized a change in all my feelings and views of life\emdash a change that entered at once into all my
plans for life\emdash I did not accept such as conversion, simply because of the extravagant experiences I had
often heard related by the old slaves of my father. Nor did I become satisfied of my conversion till some
months after. I had read the Old Testament through in the last eight months, and the New Testament eight
times, sitting up late at night to read after I had prepared my school studies, and so was at no loss in
making up my mind as to what Church I should join. I joined at Carsley's church, Surry County, Virginia,
then served by Rev. G. M. Andross, who baptized me by pouring just as I received the Holy Ghost. He
appointed me class-leader. I had formed my ideas of the doctrines of the Bible before I joined the church,
and to this day have not had to change those views. I had read with prayer to be guided, and I believe I
was directed by the Spirit of all Truth. With the change of heart in Petersburg, I received the conviction of
my call to the ministry, and my studies at school were all conducted in view of that calling; yet my mind
was not satisfied on that subject for years after. I had my heart on farming\emdash a sort of inherited
proclivity\emdash nor did I consent to quit it until "Woe is me if I preach not the Gospel" had shut me up to
preaching or ruin. From the time of my conversion I went to school in Surry; Little Town, in Sussex;
Emory and Henry, and Randolph Macon College, up to the year 1848, May 17th, when my health forced
me to leave school. I was licensed as an exhorter in 1847, October 5th, by William A. Smith, D. D.,
Presiding Elder; was licensed to preach in April, 1848, by Rev. J. H. Davis. Presiding Elder; joined the
Virginia Conference in the fall of 1848, at Elizabeth City, and was sent as a helper under Rev. G. N.
Winfree, on the Amelia circuit, then embracing all of Amelia and about half of Dinwiddie. I traveled but
five months of this year, in consequence of the work\emdash eighteen appointments being too large for my
feeble health. Yet I preached much in my native county, and held several very successful protracted
meetings. The next year, 1850, I was sent to Bedford circuit under Rev. A. Wiles, but as his health failed
him in the spring, he left the circuit, and I fell in charge; and here I did the hardest year's work of my life,
and I realized the greatest success in the way of revivals\emdash -over three hundred professing conversion. The
next year, 1851 and 1852, I was on the Staunton circuit\emdash part of South Bedford and Campbell counties;
in 1853 and 1854 on the Amherst circuit; in 1855 and 1856, the Charlotte circuit: in 1857, the
Mecklenburg circuit; in 1858, the Murfreesboro circuit; in 1859, the Fincastle circuit, Botetourt county; in
1860, the Nelson circuit, in all of which I had a successful work. By this time my health had become very
bad, and by the urgent advice of my Presiding Elder and physician, I took a supernumerary relation,
which I sustained until the fall of 1865, when I located. My health improved so much that I joined
Conference again in the fall of 1868, and was sent to Fluvanna circuit four years. I rested one year there,
or a part of one year, my throat being badly diseased. I then was sent to the Rappahannock circuit, where I
travelled three years; from which I was sent to the South Bedford circuit, where I am now serving out my
fourth year. On all my fields of labor I had good revivals\emdash an average of not less than one hundred and
fifty conversions a year. Some twenty of these are in the ministry, mostly the Methodist.

Sketches of the Virginia Conference, Methodist Episcopal Church, South
By John James Lafferty
REV-MILTON LAFAYETTE BISHOP
A SINGLE leaf can contain a recital of deeds which have blessed thousands of hearts, the Church and the Commonwealth, and more, made heaven glad. The simple narrative that follows these lines are without ornament, but tells the unvarnished story of a useful life. 'We have little doubt that the readers of this brief
sketch will receive good from the perusal:

I was the third child of my parents\emdash Anna Ellis, daughter of Benjamin Ellis, and John D. Bishop, son of Thomas Bishop, all of Surry county, Virginia. There were six children of us, two sons and four daughters, all now living except the oldest, who died in 1847. I was born in 1824, August 22d. I never knew any of my ancestry to follow anything but farming as a vocation. My father died when I was about twelve years of age, and my mother in 1865, having been a Methodist from one year after I joined the church. From my earliest recollections I was trying to be a Christian, mainly from the influence of Christian slaves, as neither of my parents professed religion. My mother was always a pious woman. I read my Bible regularly and prayed up to the session of the Virginia Conference held in Petersburg in 1843 (perhaps in 1842), when I openly sought conversion at the altar in Washington street church. Though I realized a change in all my feelings and views of life\emdash a change that entered at once into all my plans for life\emdash I did not accept such as conversion, simply because of the extravagant experiences I had often heard related by the old slaves of my father. Nor did I become satisfied of my conversion till some months after. I had read the Old Testament through in the last eight months, and the New Testament eight
times, sitting up late at night to read after I had prepared my school studies, and so was at no loss in making up my mind as to what Church I should join. I joined at Carsley's church, Surry County, Virginia, then served by Rev. G. M. Andross, who baptized me by pouring just as I received the Holy Ghost. He appointed me class-leader. I had formed my ideas of the doctrines of the Bible before I joined the church, and to this day have not had to change those views. I had read with prayer to be guided, and I believe I was directed by the Spirit of all Truth. With the change of heart in Petersburg, I received the conviction of my call to the ministry, and my studies at school were all conducted in view of that calling; yet my mind was not satisfied on that subject for years after. I had my heart on farming\emdash a sort of inherited
proclivity\emdash nor did I consent to quit it until "Woe is me if I preach not the Gospel" had shut me up to preaching or ruin. From the time of my conversion I went to school in Surry; Little Town, in Sussex; Emory and Henry, and Randolph Macon College, up to the year 1848, May 17th, when my health forced me to leave school. I was licensed as an exhorter in 1847, October 5th, by William A. Smith, D. D., Presiding Elder; was licensed to preach in April, 1848, by Rev. J. H. Davis. Presiding Elder; joined the Virginia Conference in the fall of 1848, at Elizabeth City, and was sent as a helper under Rev. G. N. Winfree, on the Amelia circuit, then embracing all of Amelia and about half of Dinwiddie. I traveled but five months of this year, in consequence of the work\emdash eighteen appointments being too large for my feeble health. Yet I preached much in my native county, and held several very successful protracted meetings. The next year, 1850, I was sent to Bedford circuit under Rev. A. Wiles, but as his health failed him in the spring, he left the circuit, and I fell in charge; and here I did the hardest year's work of my life, and I realized the greatest success in the way of revivals\emdash -over three hundred professing conversion. The next year, 1851 and 1852, I was on the Staunton circuit\emdash part of South Bedford and Campbell counties; in 1853 and 1854 on the Amherst circuit; in 1855 and 1856, the Charlotte circuit: in 1857, the Mecklenburg circuit; in 1858, the Murfreesboro circuit; in 1859, the Fincastle circuit, Botetourt county; in 1860, the Nelson circuit, in all of which I had a successful work. By this time my health had become very
bad, and by the urgent advice of my Presiding Elder and physician, I took a supernumerary relation, which I sustained until the fall of 1865, when I located. My health improved so much that I joined Conference again in the fall of 1868, and was sent to Fluvanna circuit four years. I rested one year there, or a part of one year, my throat being badly diseased. I then was sent to the Rappahannock circuit, where I travelled three years; from which I was sent to the South Bedford circuit, where I am now serving out my fourth year. On all my fields of labor I had good revivals\emdash an average of not less than one hundred and fifty conversions a year. Some twenty of these are in the ministry, mostly the Methodist.

Biog./Hist. NoteOn March 13, 1884, the General Assembly passed an act directing the adjutant general to compile a roster of all those who served from Virginia in the Confederate armed forces. The project did not begin, however, until Congress' passage of an act in 1903 providing for the assembling of muster rolls for all the Confederate states and Virginia's subsequent creation of the Office of the Secretary of Virginia Military Records in 1904. The work of the Secretary of Virginia Military Records of assembling muster rolls and other documents related to Virginians in the Civil War was continued by the Department of Confederate Military Records which was formed by an act of the General Assemply on March 12, 1912. Major Robert W. Hunter served as Secretary of Virginia Military Records from 1904 until 1910. Hunter was replaced by Colonel Joseph V. Bidgood who served as Secretary of Virginia Military Records and later Secretary of the Department of Confederate Military Records. In 1918, the General Assembly passed an act abolishing the Department of Confederate Military Records and transferred the department's records to the Library of Virginia.          
NoteThe Confederate Rosters are now part of the Virginia Dept. of Military Affairs record group (RG# 46) housed in the Archives at the Library of Virginia.
