Kingston Parish Register

Description

Gloucester County was erected in 1751 and consisted of four parish subdivisions, including Kingston Parish, which was cut off from Gloucester in 1791 to form the present county of Mathews. The Register of Kingston Parish is one of the few colonial records from this area to have survived more or less intact. Mrs. Matheny and Mrs. Yates have here painstakingly copied the marriages, births, and deaths recorded in the Register, and made them accessible in the 6,000-name index at the back.
