  [Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] 

                          October 26, 1883. 
  Mr. John J. Kindred, whose death at his home, in Southampton county, was 
announced in to-day's "Dispatch," was one of the ablest and most brilliant men 
in this section, and one of the most courteous and popular of men.  He was 
about sixty years old, and a gentleman of the finest culture.  Those who heard 
him in years gone by on the forum and before the people remember his speeches 
as efforts of rare oratorial power and eloquence.

John Joseph KINDRED & Caroline A. [Antoinette] DREWRY were issued a marriage 
   license 18 Oct 1859, by clerk L.R. Edwards, but the union is not recorded 
   in the Marriage Register.  Only 2 of the 5 couples on p. 5 of MB1 are 
   in the Register- on p. 7, which is only half-filled. 

Caroline is marked with John, but she is buried unmarked with her parents 
   in a DREWRY family cemetery, "Cedar Grove," Drewryville (3rd Row).
