Local pastor struggles on the road to equality

It was the Facebook pictures that got her in trouble. As Amanda Garber stood at the front of the hall, preparing to marry two of her best friends, she knew she’d face discipline. And when she saw the pictures pop up on Facebook on her drive home, she knew she might lose her job.  Garber is an ordained United Methodist Church (UMC) reverend, and she was marrying two women.  It was freezing cold for November at the Frontier Culture Museum, yet Garber was struck by the beauty of the surrounding mountains and of the event unfolding in front of her — and that event’s significance. “You’ve enabled me to access a courage I didn’t even know existed within me,” she said to the two women standing in front of her, Lindsay and Brittany Caine-Conley.

Blackburn, Samuel (1761–1835) – Encyclopedia Virginia

Blackburn was born about May 1761 in Frederick County, the youngest of nine sons and two daughters of Benjamin Blackburn and Mary Blackburn. The family moved to Virginia from Pennsylvania well before Blackburn’s birth, migrated to Augusta County in 1774, and subsequently moved to western North Carolina. Blackburn probably intended to go into the Presbyterian ministry when he entered Liberty Hall Academy (now Washington and Lee University). A brief interval of service in the army during the closing months of the Revolutionary War interrupted his education, but he received an AB from Liberty Hall in 1785. On August 18 of that year Blackburn married Ann Mathews, a daughter of George Mathews. Apparently accompanied by the newlyweds, Mathews soon moved from Staunton to Georgia, where he had begun acquiring land in Wilkes County in March 1784. Blackburn and his wife had no children of their own but adopted a son who died young.

Bowden, Thomas R. (1841–1893) – Encyclopedia Virginia

Thomas Russell Bowden was born on May 20, 1841, near Williamsburg, the son of Lemuel J. Bowden and Martha Ellen Shackelford Bowden, and grew up on one of his father’s farms. In 1859 he entered the College of William and Mary, where he studied Latin, Greek, French, history, and economics for two years. As a member of the college’s Phoenix Literary Society, Bowden won a gold medal for his debating skills. He probably also studied law in his father’s Williamsburg office. Bowden’s father and his uncle Henry M. Bowden were uncompromising Unionists during the winter of 1860–1861. In the spring of 1862, after the Union army occupied Williamsburg and acquired responsibility for the patients in the Eastern Lunatic Asylum, Union officers appointed Henry Bowden clerk and steward of the institution and made Thomas Bowden collector of its pay-patient fund. With the withdrawal of the Union army later in the summer the Bowden family left Williamsburg, and the events of the Civil War made
