 eace-loving Quakers\, Civil War army scouts and county sheriffs rarely com
 e to mind\, but nineteenth century Quaker Jonathan Roberts of Fairfax Coun
 ty\, Virginia\, managed to reconcile his religion with his sense of moral 
 and patriotic duty. This extraordinary and fascinating biography paints a 
 larger picture of life in the Quaker community during the Civil War. \nWhi
 le researching his family history\, Gregory P. Wilson never expected to un
 cover an ancestor as unique and fascinating as Jonathan Roberts. A devout 
 Quaker\, Roberts wore many hats throughout his life. He was a farmer\, sur
 veyor\, husband\, and father. He also was a firm abolitionist\, the Civil 
 War's Quaker scout and sheriff in northern Virginia. Roberts's noncombatan
 t military service began shortly after his secessionist neighbors tried to
  kill him for his political and antislavery views. Fleeing his Fairfax Cou
 nty home after Confederate General P.G.T. Beauregard ordered his arrest\, 
 Roberts volunteered his surveying experience to the Union's Army of the Po
 tomac\, guiding troops to and from First Manassas (Bull Run). Over the cou
 rse of the war\, he was injured twice\, once seriously while chasing John 
 Singleton Mosby\, the "Gray Ghost" of the Confederacy. Wilson\, like all w
 ho experience Roberts's story\, can only marvel at his formidable ancestor
 's adventures and wonder if the outspoken Quaker appreciated the many iron
 ies and contradictions of his remarkable life.\n\n\nLocation: Alexandria A
