  • Notes 
    • The Staunton River is the boundary line between Campbell and Pittsylvania Counties. The road at left is the old stage road from Danville to Lynchburg, Virginia. William Pleasant Moon (1800-1879)and his daughter's husband Daniel Barber settled here before the Civil War. Daniel died as a Confederate soldier. John Ellis Jones married Daniel's daughter after the War and moved in with his widow.

      In 1857 Daniel Barber and his father-in-law William Pleasant Moon, bought adjoining farms, which totaled just over 200 acres. The land was on Beechtree Creek, near Staunton River and the Hill Grove Post Office. The Pleasant Moon log cabin, which is still standing, is east of the old stage road from Danville to Lynchburg, which crossed the Staunton River at Ward's Bridge.

      The large family graveyard is across the spring branch east of the Moon cabin. Daniel and Mary buried many children here. One-year-old Jenny L. Barber died in 1859. George W. Barber, age three, died in 1860. Diphtheria swept though the house in September 1862. During that one month, four children died. Nancy was two; Susan, four; Thomas, six; and Mary, eight years old. My grandmother Martha would have been 12 or 13. Daniel had enlisted in the Confederate army on March 10, 1862, and was not at home to bury his little ones. He died on April 3, 1863, at Guinea Station, of smallpox. His son-in-law, John Ellis Jones, was buried here in 1889.

      1870 census: Daniel Barber died of smallpox, as a solder, in 1863, at Guinea Station, near Fredericksburg, during the Civil War. His widow, Elizabeth Barber, had four children at home and her son-in-law John Ellis Jones. Here, John appears to be a child because the census taker failed to list him and Martha's last name. John and Martha were married earlier that year on February 17, 1870.

      In 1908, Dan and Annie Jones bought four lots at the corner of Washington and Valley (later Aspen) Streets, in Pittsylvania County. These lots were a hundred yards from the city limits, which crossed Washington Street at Sixth Street. The city annexed this area in 1931.
