“In 1837 Rev. James B. Taylor published the "First Series" of “Lives
of Virginia Baptist Ministers."
The "Second Series," written by the same hand, covered the period to
1860.
Upon the request of the Baptist General Association of Virginia the
"Third Series" and the “Fourth Series" were written and published.
Details as to the origin and scope of these two "Series" will be found
in the preface of each of these volumes.
A Resolution, offered by Rev. Dr. E. W. Winfrey, at the meeting of the
General Association at Lynchburg, in 1913, and adopted by the body,
requested the author of the "Third" and "Fourth Series" to prepare a
"Fifth Series."
The Association appointed W. F. Fisher, W. W. Hamilton, and W. S.
Royal, a committee to cooperate with the author in the matter of the
publication of the “Fifth Series." This "Fifth Series" is now
presented. It contains sketches of ministers who died between 1902
and 1914. (Some of the sketches in the Supplement belong to an earlier
period.) The roll may not be complete, yet the effort has been to make
record of all. Even where men have so recently passed away, in many
cases it has been impossible to secure the facts necessary for
satisfactory accounts of their lives. In one or two instances
relatives were unwilling for sketches of their loved ones to be
published.”
