Re: possible missing gunpowder related to Gabriel's Conspiracy, 1800, I 
just uncovered one of my aged note cards that states the following:

In the deposition of James Breckinridge, Sept. 7, 1811, Botetourt 
County, in re Samuel Gray vs. Thomas Rowland, administrator of Robert 
Rowland, Augusta County Court Papers, in Lyman Chalkley, /Chronicles of 
the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia Extracted from the Original 
Court Records of Augusta County, 1745-1800, /3 vols. (Rosslyn, Va., 
1912), I, 503:/ /[partly paraphrased] Thomas told me shortly after 
Robert's death that he feared some gunpowder was missing. "This happened 
shortly after the insurrection among the negroes in the neighborhood of 
Richmond was discovered." Thomas asked me to collect suspected slaves at 
the courthouse in order to examine them. I had no reason to believe the 
gunpowder had been stolen. Examination of slaves revealed nothing to 
make me suspect their guilt.
