Book excerpt: The Colonial church was easy-going as regards doctrines and life, and yet it left its impress on the generations it served. There were churches built in good taste and served by parsons who were scholars if they were not religious enthusiasts. That they were over-fond of fox-hunting and sometimes took a bit too much wine is true, but as they were also the schoolmasters they were perhaps entitled to a little relaxation. A man who preached on Sunday and buried and married, as well as taught six days in the week, was pretty busy. The parsons were farmers besides. -- Introduction.

Download or read book The Colonial Churches of St Thomas Parish Orange County Virginia written by Lizabeth Ward Papageorgiou and published by Genealogical Publishing Com. This book was released on 2008 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. ThomasΓ Parish in Virginia was formed from St. MarkΓ s Parish in 1740. The new parish encompassed present-day Orange, Greene, and a strip of southern Madison counties. Based on an extensive examination of primary sources, the work at hand is the first accurate description of the formation of St. ThomasΓ Parish, its member churches, its ministers, and others who played a significant part in its colonial history. In the absence of surviving vestry books for St. ThomasΓ Parish, or even an accurate map of the parish, the author was able to extract valuable information pertaining to St. ThomasΓ Parish from the surviving vestry books of the neighboring parishes of St. MarkΓ s and St. GeorgeΓ s. However, as Mrs. Papageorgiou explains in her Preface, Spotsylvania and Orange County road orders comprise the backbone of her study. The road orders for the construction and maintenance of roads, as recorded in county court order books, provide evidence to the existence of churches and chapels throughout the parish. The road ordersΓ value to the genealogist is that they identify the overseers and work crews assigned to maintain the road and any bridges along it. So, for example, the road orders tell us that, between November 1, 1726, and April 2, 1734, John Rucker, Thomas Jackson, Joseph Hawkins, Abraham Bledsoe, Henry Downes, John Davis, and George Eastham all served as overseers of roads near Southwest Mountain Chapel in St. ThomasΓ Parish. This work is an excellent example of historical reconstruction. The Introduction explains how, when, and why St. ThomasΓ was established from its parent and grandparent parishes, St. MarkΓ s and St. GeorgeΓ s. Next, the author uses the road orders and other sources to pinpoint the timing and location of each of the following places of worship: Germana Church, Southwest Mountain Chapel, Southwest Mountain Church, Upper Chapel, St. ThomasΓ Parish, Upper Church, Middle (Brick) Church, Pine Stake Church, and New (Orange) Church. (Mrs. Papageorgiou has also appended a number of important court orders at the back of the volume.) The third chapter gives the tenure of every parish minister and his family members. The final chapter recounts how previous writers--notably Bishop William Meade and Philip Slaughter--have recorded the history of St. ThomasΓ Parish and where, more often than not, they went astray. Students of Virginia church history will welcome the comprehensive bibliography that follows the appendices.

ABINGDON CHURCH, GLOUCESTER COUNTY, VIRGINIA. BY THE REV. WILLIAM BYRD LEE, RECTOR. (X it fil HE history of tne Episcopal Church of Virginia has been, u from the very beginning, a most interesting and eventful l one beyond that of any other diocese in the Union." We refer the reader to Bishop Meade's "Old Churches and Families of Virginia," from which the foregoing quotation is made. In attempting to write articles on Ware and Abingdon Parishes and their churches, I am embarrassed by finding the county and church. records almost wholly destroyed up to the year 1830. Many valuable documents were burned at Jamestown in 1676, when Nathaniel Bacon kindled the first fires of rebellion in the Colony. Again at Williamsburg, in 1776--the War of the Revolution--many precious documents were consumed by fire. In 1820 the clerk's office at Botetourt, which is now called Gloucester, the county's old seat, was burned with its contents. A further fire at Richmond, on April 2, 1865, destroyed all of Gloucester county records. As a precautionary step, Gloucester being in the lines of the enemy, the records had been carried to Richmond. A mutilated register of Abingdon Parish, from 1677 to 1761, and a like uninjured vestry book of Petsworth Parish, in that county, is all that remains from the fires prior to and including that of 1820. From these old books and other fragments of history we get a dim light of Colonial Church work in Gloucester, telling what our fathers did to perpetuate the religion of our Lord Jesus Christ, as the Church of England received and planted it in America. In the absence of her burned and lost records, Gloucester points to the names and history of her families, to the character of their homes and family graveyards, to the...
