Shame and contempt covered his whole life.

From genealogical researches.  In trying to trace the Perkins family line in Virginia, I come across this sad story of an unrelated individual in Old churches, ministers and families of Virginia: Volume II by William Meade, published in 1861.  

As to the ministers of Camden parish before the revival of the Church in Virginia, we find but one on all our lists. In the year 1774, seven years after the establishment of the parish, we find the name of the Rev. Lewis Guilliam.  Would that we could find it nowhere else! but, alas, on examining the records of the court, we there find his name, not connected with the registry of baptisms and marriages, as perhaps none would call on him for these offices, but with continual petty law-suits, in which he was almost always the loser. Shame and contempt covered his whole life. He was a Scotsman and never married.
