Anecdote*   THE HISTORY of PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY VIRGINIA CHAPTER IX EARLY CHURCHES IN PITTSYLVANIA THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND
The Separate Baptists believed in the immediate working of the spirit of God, and taught that to those who earnestly sought God gave "evident tokens of his will." They spoke with deep feeling and strong gestures, and being deeply affected themselves, Semple says, "correspondent affections were felt by their pious hearers which were frequently expressed by tears, treblings, screams, shouts and acclamations. * * * And the people were greatly astonished, never having seen things in this wise." The earnestness of their exhortations won hosts of converts in Pittsylvania for the new faith.
After several churches had been established Elder Shubal Stearns "conceiveds that an association composed of delegates from all these would have a tendency to impart stability and uniformity to the whole." Accordingly the first association was held in January 1760 at Stearn's church in North Carolina, the Sandy River Meeting House, to which eight churches sent delegates, two of which were in Virginia, the Dan River Church, represented by Samuel Harris and the Lunenburg County Church, represented by William Murphy.

At the commencement of the Revolutionary War the two older brothers remained loyal to the
Crown, while the younger was a Whig, and was a merchant and importer in the town of Richmond. During the war he donated his coarser goods to the soldiers, but thinking the war was a trivial
affair, and that it would be of short duration, packed the finer ones in boxes and buried them in his cellar. Here they remained until peace was established, but judge of his disgust when he found the boxes rotten and the goods too weak to hold their own weight.

After the close of the war Rev. William Murphy moved to eastern Tennessee, in the vicinity of Knoxville. He was accompanied by all his children, some of whom were married. He had for
neighbors and associates Capt. Menifee, Gov. Blunt, the first governor of Tennessee, and others. They were at one time appointed to treaty with the Indians, and the general government furnished
goods to be given to them, but there had been such bitter warfare between the whites and Indians in Kentucky and Tennessee that the goods were burned--the whites declaring that the only settlement or treaty had best be demanded at the muzzle of a rifle, and not by barter.
