The Colonial Churches of St. Thomas’ Parish, Orange County, Virginia

Description

Based on an extensive examination of primary sources, the work at hand is the first accurate description of the formation of St. ThomasÔÇÖ 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. ThomasÔÇÖ Parish, or even an accurate map of the parish, the author was able to extract valuable information pertaining to St. ThomasÔÇÖ Parish from the surviving vestry books of the neighboring parishes of St. MarkÔÇÖs and St. GeorgeÔÇÖs.
