Rev John Brunskill was born perhaps in Caroline County in 1731, eldest son of Rev. John Brunskill, Sr. He was licensed for Virginia in 1752 after matriculating from Pembroke College, Cambridge, in 1751. He was in Hamilton Parish, Prince William (later Fauquier 1759), 1754-58, when he was accused by his vestry to the governor for intemperance, and other charges, was tried before the governor and council and ordered dismissed as unworthy. In seeking to remove the Reverend Brunskill in Hamilton Parish, the Governor asserted "he was almost guilty of every sin except murder and this last he had very near perpetrated on his own wife. (Groome, H.C., "Fauquier During the Proprietorship," p. 144.)
