"Tradition informs us that Abraham B. Venable was a man of broad understanding and enlarged public spirit." Elizabeth Michaux, his wife, is spoken of as "a lady of marked character and vigor of intellect." Rev. Archibald Alexander, D.D., in a journey through southern Virginia in 1791 visited at her house. In his biography by his son, Rev. J. W. Alexander, D.D., on page 125, we find the following mention of her: "The next morning brought us to the Hospitable Mansion of old Mrs. Venable, in the edge of Prince Edward County. She was of the Micheaux family and a descendant of Huguenots who had settled on James River, a matron of great shrewdness, information, and piety. Her husband had long been dead and her children grown up." Numerous and distinguished issue.
