His son Spence Grayson became an Anglican minister who served as rector of Cameron Parish in Loudoun before the Revolutionary War. During the Revolution Spence was the minister in his brother William Grayson’s Continental Regiment. Unlike the Blackburns, members of the Grayson family remained in the area that would become southwest Loudoun County, although Spence Grayson himself was serving as rector of Dettingen Parish in Prince William shortly after his purchase. In 1787 Spence Grayson was appointed head of a committee reviewing ministers’ qualifications, acting under the auspices of the Anglican diocese, which, two years later, reorganized itself as the Protestant Episcopal Church. After Blackburns death the land passed to his son Thomas, who in turn gave parcels to each of his two daughters and in 1785 sold 2,328 acres to Spence Grayson. The land on which Unison is located was part of the parcel Thomas Blackburn deeded to his daughter Sarah and her husband === 1732-1847 Prince William County, Virginia Bond Book [Ronald Ray Turner] July 17th 1733 (D-B1-68) Know all men by these presents that I John Dawkins of the County of Prince William planter am held and firmly bound unto Richard Blackburn of the same county Carpenter in the sum of five hundred pounds sterling to be paid to the said Richard Blackburn of his certain attorney executors administrators or assigns to which payment well and truly I bind my self my heirs executors administrators for the whole and in the whole firmly and by these presents.
