  • Notes 
    • Maud Carter Clement's History of Pittsylvania County Virginia.

      p.27 .....Byrd's party proceeded to the forks of the Dan and Staunton Rivers.....Six miles beyond the forks they came to the house of Peter Mitchell, who was "the highest inhabitant up"; then for six miles they rode "through charming Low Grounds to a large stream which we agreed to name Banister River." Mr. John Banister was a member of Colonel Byrd's party and no doubt it was in his honor the stream was named.

      p.142 ......On account of the tax that had been laid on tea, the drinking of tea was banned, to partake of the beverage was considered a virtual act of treason. Captain John Pigg, a vestryman and captain of the local militia, was reported to the committee as one who had violated the Association "by drinking and making use of in his family the detestable East Indian tea." When summoned to appear before the Committee in May 1776, Captain Pigg boldly refused, considering it an imperitnent interference in his family affairs and replied that, "he would do as he pleased." In their righteous indignation the Committee at once published him in the Gazzette as being "inimical to the cause.".....(footnote 20) John Pigg was the son of Paul Pigg of Amelia County, who moved to Pittsylvania when a very old man, and whose will is the first on record in the Clerk's Office. John Pigg was as early settler and Pigg River was named for him. He married Anne Clement and his will was proven February 1785, in which he bequeathed to his only son Hezekiah Ford Pigg the mill tract, his two guns, rifle and sliver buckles.
