[9] It is claimed by Rev. James Kemper that the German Reformed Church, organized at Germanna in 1714, was the first church of that denomination planted in this country. [10] Mr. M. D. Conway, in Magazine of American History, Vol. 27, No. 3, page 186. [11] Memoirs of a Huguenot Family, page 268. [12] John Fontaine was the son of Rev. James Fontaine, of France, a Huguenot who fled to England to avoid religious persecution, and thence settled in Scotland, where he ended his days. The name originally was _De la Fontaine_, but John's grandfather, "from motives of humility, cut off the _De la_, the indication of the nobility of the family." John came to this country in 1716, with his brother Peter, and at once became a friend and companion of Governor Spotswood's, while Peter became a minister of ability and was very popular. From these two brothers sprang the Fontaines of this country. [13] Austain Moore lived at Chelsea, on the Mattaponi river. He was the Governor's son-in-law.--Maury's History of Virginia. [14] Austin Smith lived in the village or settlement afterwards named Fredericksburg. He is supposed to have been a descendant of Lawrence Smith, who commanded the fort here in 1681. He no doubt has descendants here now bearing the name of Smith, while some are known by other names. [15] These Indians came from the Meherrin river, where Governor Spotswood owned a large body of land. He had opened a school there for the education and conversion of the Indian children, which made him quite popular with the Indians in that quarter. The Governor and Mr. Fontaine visited that part of the country a few weeks before they started on this expedition. [16] This must be at the junction of the Rapidan and Robinson rivers. [17] This is the Rapidan river probably. [18] It is likely that this was Conway river, a tributary of the Rapidan, and the line between Madison and Green counties. [19] This is unquestionably the north fork or north branch of the Rivanna river, a tributary of the James, which runs through Green county, its head waters coming from the sides of the Blue Ridge mountain.
