Source: James Willson McClung's Historical Significance of Rockbridge Co., VA., 1939, page 63-64.
James Willson McClung wrote about his family home, he called the old home of Samuel Willson: "1 mile east of Brownsburg on the road leading to Fairfield, built in 1740 by John Skeen. He says this home has been in the possession of Andrew A McClung and his son since 3 Jan 1861. Andrew served for the 4 full years, and for the most of time in the 14th Virginia Infantry, Co. H, and for a while in the Commissary Department. He surrendered his arms at Appomattox in 1865. He had 4 brothers who served in throughout this war, and his wife had 3 brothers in service. Her youngest brother, James Willson, was a Color Bearer and was the last man killed in this war, having been shot from the rear, after the surrender. It appears that he was a little slow in dropping his flag, and was shot down."
James W. McClung's 5 Mar 1938 Works Progress Administration of VA Historical Inventory #352, for the Glebe Burying Ground, includes data on his Willson kin since Col. John Willson is buried there. Col. John Willson's "...son, James Willson was born about the year 1750 and died about the year 1811. James Willson's son, Samuel was born in Augusta County, Va, on May 2, 1787 and died Jun 28, 1866."
