Note that while the Virginia Baptists (and the Foreign Missions Board) sent Dr. William Earl Davidson to Chile in 1917, he himself was from Missouri, born just south of Kansas City, ordained due north of it, and spent most of his years of service (after returning from Chile) as a Bible college professor just north of St. Louis. Likewise, Joe Hart, Robert Moore, Frank Marrs were all sent out under the brethren in Virginia but only Hart was a native Virginian. The other two were born in Florida and Texas, respectively.
