“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.”
excerpt from one sample biography (5

Series)
Albert Grant Hash 1876-1912
“One of the many mysteries of God's providence that we do not understand is why young men, full of promise, and busy in successful work for God
and humanity, are cut off. Such a life was that of Albert Grant Hash. He was born among the mountains of
Virginia
, and died a pastor in one of the
towns of
Georgia
. Before he had rounded out four decades he was called away. Not long after his birth, which took place in
Grayson
County
,
March 14, 1876, he was deprived, by death, of the comfort and blessing of a mother's love. He was the son of Abram and Rebekah Hash, and had
three brothers,
one sister, one half-brother, and one half-sister. His boyhood days were spent on the farm, helping his father. The mountain
school which he attended in these early
years brought him into touch with a teacher, Miss Sarah La Rue, who, a few years later,
was in charge of the academy at Pearisburg. When he was eighteen years old he left his home and went to this academy, drawn
hither, as it seems, by his old teacher. For the next three years he studied in the winter, and during the summer was himself
a teacher. At the age of sixteen he made a profession of religion and united with the
Pine
Branch
Church
, and while at Pearisburg
he felt called to preach the gospel…”
