This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For this work, Mr. Chamberlayne transcribed the earliest known records of Kingston Parish, Mathews County, Virginia. Though the parish can be traced back to the year 1657, no records have survived prior to 1679, the starting point for the volume. Preceding the transcription of the original two-volume vestry book itself are references to the origins of Kingston Parish, which the compiler found in Hening's Statutes-at-Large, Bishop Meade's Old Churches, Ministers and Families of Virginia, the Minutes of the Council and General Court of Colonial Virginia, 1622-1632, and so forth. The contents of The Vestry Book are the standard fare; namely, they are minutes of the business meetings of the parish. As such they concern the payments for services to various individuals, levying or collection of tithes, appointment of vestrymen, etc. Appended to the transcription is a list of Kingston Parish clergy arranged in chronological order of earliest date of service. Rounding out the book are a topical index and a name index to some 2,000 persons found in the volume and, therefore, known to have lived in Kingston Parish during the more than 100 years covered.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, John Nelson reconstructs everyday Anglican religious practice and experience in Virginia from the end of the seventeenth century to the start of the American Revolution. Challenging previous characterizations of the colonial Anglican establishment as weak, he reveals the fundamental role the church played in the political, social, and economic as well as the spiritual lives of its parishioners. Drawing on extensive research in parish and county records and other primary sources, Nelson describes Anglican Virginia's parish system, its parsons, its rituals of worship and rites of passage, and its parishioners' varied relationships to the church. All colonial Virginians--men and women, rich and poor, young and old, planters and merchants, servants and slaves, dissenters and freethinkers--belonged to a parish. As such, they were subject to its levies, its authority over marriage, and other social and economic dictates. In addition to its religious functions, the parish provided essential care for the poor, collaborated with the courts to handle civil disputes, and exerted its influence over many other aspects of community life. A Blessed Company demonstrates that, by creatively adapting Anglican parish organization and the language, forms, and modes of Anglican spirituality to the Chesapeake's distinctive environmental and human conditions, colonial Virginians sustained a remarkably effective and faithful Anglican church in the Old Dominion.
