About Col. John Cabell

The fact that the records of Buckingham County and the family papers of Col. John Cabell have all been burnt or destroyed makes it impossible for me to give the particulars of his life. He is frequently mentioned in his brother William's diary, but nearly always in connection with some private business transaction of no public interest.

'^ April 14th 1769. Swap'd my blazed faced mare with John Cabell for his grey horse."

" Novr. 30th 1769. Paid Mr. Pattison of Williamsburg fifteen shillings for repairing John Cabell's watch."

In 1774, and probably before. Col. John Cabell was sheriff of Buckingham County. In 1775, he was chairman of the Buckingham County committee, one of the deputies from that committee to the district committee, which first met (September 8, 1775) at the house of James Woods in Amherst, and county lieutenant.

" Novr. 23rd 1775. Delivered Col. John Cabell the commissions for the militia officers for Buckingham County."
