THE BARRADALLS.

This name is also an ancient and most respectable one. It is
another name for one learned in the law,—a name which for a long
time was a terror to the young applicant for a license to practise
law, and before which even a Pendleton trembled at his examination.
Two of these were buried in this churchyard. One or both of
them had been vestrymen of the parish. Edward Barradall married
Sarah, youngest daughter of the first William Fitzhugh, who
settled in Virginia, and who was also an eminent lawyer in the
Northern Neck, and belonged to the Council.
