 John's Church, were adopted, and a blank page in the vestry minute 
 book dedicated to his memory at a meeting of the vestry February 
 2, 1897. His death is recorded on page 400, and mention of his 
 death on page 90 also. The error was not discovered until after the

PREFACE. 
 
 The Annals of Henrico Parish down to Easter, 1884, were 
 originally prepared by me at the request of Bishop Randolph, 
 to furnish him with £he facts of the history of St. John's for 
 the preparation of his discourse for the Sesqui-Centennial, 
 celebrated June 10, 1891. Shortly after that anniversary, 
 I made up the Annals into an address and delivered it in St. 
 John's, as Bishop Randolph had quoted only slightly from 
 my gathered facts, his treatment of his theme having been 
 rather philosophical. 
 
 The annals of my own rectorship, as I say more particu- 
 larly in the introduction thereto, are not meant for publica- 
 tion or exTjected to be generally read. I do not pretend to be 
 a historian of my own time ; much less do I wish to appear 
 as magnifying my own ministry. Some of the minute de- 
 tails are of no importance in themselves, and probably will 
 have no interest to the future historian of the parish, who 
 may seek material in these pages ; but they are put on record 
 for the sake of those concerned, to whom the smallest things 
 and simplest facts in and about the Church of their love are 
 sacred and precious. On the other hand, I have told of 
 things which everybody, now a member of St. John's, sees or 
 knows ; but I have been mindful of a time when these things 
 may have disappeared or those who know of their history may 
 have departed. 
 
 The difficulties I found in preparing the facts concerning 
 St. John's Church, through the one hundred and fifty years of 
 its existence as a building, influenced me not a little in this 
 matter.

ANNALT OF HENRICO PARI/H. 
 
 BY ET. EEV. LEWIS W. BTJETON^ D. D. 
 
 The picturesque ruins of Jamestown mark the beginning 
 "of the Church in Virginia, in 1607. The history of Hen- 
 rico Parish begins with the second established settlement in 
 the colony. During the interregnum between the governor- 
 ships of Lord De la War and Sir Thomas Gates, Sir Thomas 
 Dale had acted as regent under the title of High Marshall of 
 Virginia. On the arrival of Gates, Dale, by agreement, took 
 advantage of the opportunity to carry out the cherished pro- 
 ject of founding for himself a settlement. In the early part 
 of September, 1611, at the head of 350 men, chieflv German 
 laborers, he pushed up the river. He founded Henricopolis 
 on the peninsula now insulated by Dutch Gap canal. Dale 
 was almost a religious fanatic. He had named his new city 
 in honor of Prince Henry, the eldest son of James I. After 
 this prince's sudden death. Dale writes: "My glorious mas- 
 ter is gone, that would have enamelled with his favors the 
 labors I undertake for God's cause and his immortal honor. 
 He was the great captain of our Israel; the hope to have 
 builded up this heavenly new Jerusalem be interred, I think ; 
 the whole frame of this business fell into his grave." 
 
 The Kev. Alexander Whitaker accompanied Dale. He 
 calls the latter "Our religious and valiant Governor." He 
 describes him as "a man of great knowledge in divinity, and 
 of a good conscience in all things, both which," he adds, "be 
 rare in a martial man." 
 
 The settlement of Henrico, therefore, had from the first a 
 decidedly religious character. Prominent and earliest among 
 the buildings erected by Dale was a church. He built it even 
 before he had laid the foundation of his own residence. Its 
 site was near the line of the present Dutch Gap canal. A 
 more handsome structure of brick was speedily undertaken. 
 
6 HisTOBT Heweico Paeish, 
 
 For defensire purposes, Eale located another settlement at 
 the western angle of the junction of the Appomattox with 
 the James. This received the name of Bermuda Hundred, 
 by which it is still known. It quickly began to outshine its 
 sister village of Henricopolis. The governor of the colony 
 sometimes took up his residence at Bermuda Hundred. 
 
 But the earlier settlement gave the name of Henrico to the 
 county and parish with which we are concerned. 
 
 When, in 1634, the colony was divided into eight shires, 
 after the English fashion, the bounds of Henrico were made 
 to include present Chesterfield and Powhatan counties, on the 
 south of the river, and Goochland on the north. The parish 
 lines were coincident with those of the shire. Mr. Whitaker 
 was, of course, first rector of the parish. Dale enclosed a 
 glebe of 100 acres and built a parsonage on the south side of 
 Sie river, at a point convenient to both settlements. It was 
 called, and the site is still known by the name of Kock HaU. 
 
 Mr. Whitaker's father was Dr. William Whitaker, Master 
 of St. John's College, an eminent theologian and controver- 
 sialist of Cambridge, and a friend of the "judicious Hooker." 
 Alexander Whitaker himself was a graduate of Cambridge. 
 For some years he had been a minister in the north of Eng- 
 land, beloved and well supported by his people. He enjoyed 
 besides a handsome heritage from his parents. He seems 
 to have come to this country purely under the influence of the 
 highest missionary spirit, believinp- himself to have been 
 called by God to do so. He experienced all the struggles with 
 himself and all the opposition of friends that try the foreign 
 missionary's soul. A contemporary thus writes of him*: 
 "He did voluntarily leave his warme nest ; and to the wonder 
 of his kindred and amazement of them that knew him, under- 
 tooke this hard, but, in my judgement, heroicall resolution to 
 go to Virginia, and helpe to beare the name of God unto the 
 gentiles." The unanimous opinion of him seems to be that 
 he was "purest of men," "truly pious," and most zealous in 
 that missionary work, especially among the Indians, to which 
 he had devoted himself. "Every Sabbath day," he writes to 
 a friend in London, "we p reach in the forenoon and catechize

 as nearly as possible all quotations and records.

 •in the afternoon. Every Saturday, at night, I exercise (ex- 
 hort) in Sir Thomas Dale's house." 
 
 Meanwhile, in 1612, Pocahontas had heen taken prisoner 
 by the English, and Dale had succeeded Gates as Governor. 
 Dale labored long to ground the faith of Jesus Christ in the 
 heart of this Indian princess. Of her he wrote: "Were it 
 but for the gaining of this one soul, I will think my time, 
 toils, and present stay well spent." Mr. Whitaker was un- 
 doubtedly his glad agent in the effort to evangelize this child 
 of the forest. At any rate, this excellent clergyman had the 
 delight of baptizing her under the name of Eebecca. In 
 April of 1613 or 1614 he also married her to John Eolfe. 
 Shortly she and her husband removed i^to the neighborhood of 
 Henricopolis, where Eolfe had a plantation. They continued 
 to be members of this parish until Pocahontas left Virginia. 
 
 Whitaker sent a sermon of his to England, in which he had 
 written : "Though my promise of three yeeres' seruice to my 
 countrey be expired, will abide in my vocation here untill I 
 be lawfully called from hence." He added an earnest and 
 loving exhortation to others to come over and help. He re- 
 sisted the temptation to return to England in 1616 with his 
 attached friend, Dale. But within a brief time he was in- 
 deed "lawfully called" by Him whose providence is supreme. 
 
 In the spring of 1617, this our first rector, the gentle, ear- 
 nest Whitaker, known to history as the "Apostle of Virginia," 
 was accidentally drowned in the James. 
 
 A Mr. Wickham had served as an assistant to Mr. Whit- 
 aker, apparently laboring at Henricopolis while Mr. Whit- 
 aker gave most of his time to the larger and more prominent 
 settlement of Bermuda. 
 
 John Eolfe, when in England with his wife, Pocahontas, 
 wrote to King James concerning the Virginia colony. He 
 speaks of "Mr. William Wiekham" as the "minister" at Hen- 
 rico, and as one "who, in his life and doctrine, gave good ex- 
 amples and godly instructions to the people." 
 
 Some authorities describe him as "a pious man without 
 Episcopal ordination." Certainly he could only have been 
 in deacon's orders, for Governor Argall, successor to Dale, 
 begs that a minister be sent to Henrico, as Mr. Whitaker was 
 drowned, and Mr. Wickham was unable to administer thfl 
 
8 HisTOET Henhico Pabish, 
 
 sacraments. A Eev. Mr. Stockham is by some spoken of as 
 a successor to Messrs. Whitaker and Wickham. The Kev. 
 Jonah Stockton did come to the colony in January, 1621. 
 The clergyman whom these historians have in mind must 
 have been he. If so, he must have followed Mr. Bargrave. 
 By 1619 a successor to Mr. Whitaker had been found in the 
 person of Kev. Thomas Bargrave. If any modern mission- 
 ary finds it hard to make ends meet with a small salary poorly 
 paid, he may find some cool philosophizing on the subject in 
 the legislation of this early day. 
 
 "It was enacted that each clergyman should receive from 
 his parishioners 1,500 pounds of tobacco and 16 barrels of 
 corn." But if the "levy should prove unequal in value to 
 200 pounds, the law proceeded to declare that 'the minister 
 was to be content with less.' " 
 
 It was under Mr. Bargrave's administration that the parish 
 of Henrico was chosen to be the site of a great university. 
 It was founded to supTily both the English and the natives 
 with that education which is the handmaid of religion. Fif- 
 teen thousand acres on the side of the settlement towards the 
 falls were set apart as college lands by the Virginia Com- 
 pany. Large subscriptions had been secured in England in 
 response to an appeal of King James, through the Archbishop 
 of Canterbury. Laborers were sent over to till the lands 
 appropriated to the college. Young women of good charac- 
 ter were persuaded to cross over to be their wives. The 
 colonists themselves were enthusiastically interested. The 
 rector, Mr. Bargrave, donated his library. George Thorpe, 
 a devoted philanthropist and pious scholar, was superinten- 
 dent of operations. Happy progress was being made in the 
 establishment of the institution. The Eev. Mr. Copland, 
 who had been appointed its president, and who was still in 
 England, was requested to deliver a thanksgiving sermon in 
 London, for all the late mercies of God to the colony and for 
 the bright prospects before them. 
 
 Suddenly, without the slightest warning, there burst upon 
 the fair scene a storm cloud. Its thunderbolt shattered for- 
 ever this pious project. The city of Henrico never recovered 
 from the blow. For four years a conspiracy among the thirty 
 Indian nations had been forming. On the 22d of March, 
 
St. John's Chtjbch. 9 
 
 1622, it was ripe. That day Henricopolis shared the fate of 
 thirty other settlements. The inhabitants that escaped fled 
 to Jamestown. There the governor concentrated the relics of 
 his colony. The fatal day was by the next Assembly solemn- 
 ized as a holy day. 
 
 The result of this terrible catastrophe was a great revul- 
 sion of feeling on both sides of the water. Missionary, effort 
 with the Indians was considered a failure. Their conversion 
 was deemed hopeless. A further severe blow was given to 
 the cause of religion in these parts in the dissolution of the 
 Virginia Company by the King in 1624. From this time on 
 down to 1730 the annals of Henrico Parish are fragmentary 
 and uncertain. The Eev. James Blair was the rector from 
 1685 to 1694. He was a determined and courageous Scotch- 
 man, who had been educated at Edinburg University. While 
 still rector of this parish, in 1689, he was appointed commis- 
 sary of the Bishop of London, Dr. Compton, who ex-officio 
 had ecclesiastical jurisdiction over the colonies. Mr. Blair 
 efficiently occupied this position of great responsibility and 
 trust till his death, fifty-four years afterward. He resigned 
 the parish to become founder and first president of William 
 and Mary College. He was also a member of the Colonial 
 Council. He resided first at Jamestown, preaching there 
 and at a church eight miles off in an adjacent parish. In 
 1710 he removed to Williamsburg and took charge of Bruton 
 parish. After filling with honorable and distinguished suc- 
 cess a most prominent and trying part in the ecclesiastical 
 history of the colonv. he was laid to rest in the old graveyard 
 at Jamestown August 3, 1743, at the ripe age of 88. 
 
 The Kev. George Kobinson is understood to have been in 
 charge of Henrico parish in 1695. Nothing seems to be 
 known of him besides that fact. 
 
 In 1724 the clergy of the colony were called upon for a 
 report by the Bishop of London. The name of the incumbent 
 of Heprico Parish has been torn from the manuscript of his 
 report* He mentions that he bad been in the parish four- 
 teen years. Its bounds were 18 by 25 miles. It contained 
 two churches and one chapel. There were 400 families and 
 1,100 titbable persons resident. The attendance at church 
 
 •This was undoubtedly Rev. Jacob Ware. — J. S. M. 
 
10 HiSTOET Hbneico Pabish, 
 
 sometimes numbered from one to two hundred. The number 
 accustomed to commune at any one time was about twenty. 
 To the parents and teachers was left the catechizing of the 
 children. The families were so distant that it was difficult 
 to gather the children together, and, like those of our day, 
 when they grew to any bigness, they did not like to be pub- 
 licly catechized. As for the servants, the masters did nothing 
 for them except to let some of them, now and then, go to 
 church. There was no public school for the youth. 
 
 In 1730 we come to terra firma in our history. With 
 October 28th of that year begins the record book of the Ves- 
 try of Henrico Parish. It is a folio YJ by 12^ inches, bound 
 in vellum. It contains 191 manuscript pages, and covers the 
 period extending to September 24, 1774. It was accidentally 
 discovered by Mr. Peyton K. Carrington in August, 1867, 
 among the old records of Henrico County Court With the 
 permission of the Presiding Justice, he delivered it to the 
 then rector, Eev. Dr. Wm. Norwood. He placed it in the 
 possession of the Vestry of St. John's Church. It was 
 printed in 1874, with an interesting introduction and valu- 
 able notes by Mr. E. A. Brock, Secretary of the Virginia His- 
 torical Society. 
 
 The minutes of ten meetings of the Vestry, from April 8, 
 1807, to December 16, 1817, both inclusive, were written on 
 sixteen pages of foolscap nnner. The manuscript was found 
 in the third story of the house of Mrs. George M. Carrington, 
 at the corner of Twenty-eighth and Franklin streets, in 1867, 
 by Mr. Peyton R. Carrington. 
 
 Virginia vestries a century and a half ago were elected by 
 the freeholders and housekeepers. Among the earliest mem- 
 bers of the vestry in Henrico Parish were men whose names 
 are intertwined with the whole of the social and political 
 history of our Commonwealth. 
 
 The income of the Parish was derived from tithes. For 
 example, by the earliest resolution of our Vestry which has 
 been preserved to us, it was 
 
 "Ordered That Capte Joseph Eoyal do receive according 
 to Law of 
 Every Tithable 
 
St. John's Chueoh. 11 
 
 'T'son -within this Parish thirty pounds of tobacco, being 
 
 the 
 parish Levy for this year, 
 "and that he pay the Several Allowances before mentioned 
 
 to the respective persons to whom 
 "the Same are due." 
 
 At that date tobacco was the medium of exchange. Its value 
 may be estimated from the fact, that in 1739 the wardens 
 were forbidden to sell at private sale the levied tobacco for 
 less than 12s. 6d. per hundred. At that rate the rector's 
 salary was 100 pounds sterling, or about 500 dollars. 
 
 In this connection it is interesting to recall the fact that 
 Patrick Henry's genius as an orator first shone publicly in 
 what was known as the "Parson's Cause," a case in which a 
 minister of the Church of England brought suit for arrear- 
 ages in salary: The Virginia Burgesses having decreed that, 
 because of a failure of the crop, all debts payable in that com- 
 modity might be met in money at the rate of two pence per 
 pound; the King having decided against this act, because 
 tobacco was rated at six pence a pound when the salary of 
 16,000 pounds of tobacco was made the legal compensation 
 of the clergy. 
 
 This first Vestry book is principally filled with the trans- 
 actions belonging to that body, as a factor in the civil govern- 
 ment, under the establishment of the Church of England. 
 These were chiefly what was known as processioning the 
 land — that is, going around the bounds of each person's land 
 and renewing the landmarks by chopping the trees. There 
 was also committed to the vestries of that day, and especially 
 to the church wardens, the care of the poor. We have among 
 the accounts entered in this vestry book such as lihese: — 
 
 "To John Jones for keeping his Daughter, being a Eool — 
 300 (lbs. of tobacco). 
 
 "To Doctor Hopper for Cuting off Cowsells arm — 500 (lbs. 
 of tobacco). 
 
 "Ordd that the Chwdns do agree with any person for the 
 Cure of Pridgeon Waddles nose not exceed^* ten Pounds."

12 HisTOEY Heneico' Parish, 
 
 When this vestry book was begun the principal church of 
 the parish was situated on a plantation known as Curie s, 
 lying on the north side of the James, some miles below the 
 present city of Kichmond. The church itself was called by 
 the name of the plantation on which it stood. It is said to 
 have been demolished within the past forty years. But the 
 writer in a visit to the locality could get no certain informa- 
 tion as to where its exact position was. The bowl of the 
 baptismal font now in St. John's is the sole relic of the Curie's 
 Church. It was discovered by Mrs. Margaret Pickett some 
 miles away from Curie's Church, in the cellar of a house into 
 which her family had just moved. It had been used as a 
 mortar for beating hominy. Dr. John Adams, her father, 
 brought it to Richmond and placed it in the hands of a stone- 
 cutter. Being very much mutilated, it was reduced to a diam- 
 eter of 11, 9-16 inches. The original shape, however, was 
 preserved. Dr. Adams then presented it as a "precious and 
 sacred" relic to the Vestry of St. John's Church, May 13, 
 1826 ; and it was directed by them that it should be placed 
 in the chancel. 
 
 It is hardly to be wondered at that, when, in 1850, a mem- 
 ber of St. John's presented to it a new marble font, the con- 
 gregation was dissatisfied at the removal of the one piece of 
 furniture that bound their present edifice to its predecessors 
 in the parish, and after only a few years insisted upon its 
 return. Mr. P. R. Carrington thinks that the new font and 
 two oaken chairs given by the same gentlemen are now in the 
 church in Ashland. 
 
 To revert to our history, there was at this time also a 
 "chappie," probably the one called in 1735 "the falls Chap- 
 pel." Indeed, there had been a feeble attempt at a settlement 
 at the Falls of James river before that at Henricopolis. In 
 all probability this was the "one chapel" reported to the 
 Bishop of London in 1724. Probably Curie's Church also 
 was one of the "two churches" reported at the same time. 
 Perhaps the other one of the two was the old church at Hen- 
 ricopolis. It is more likely to have been that one for which 
 Mr. Thomas Jefferson, an ancestor of the President, had con- 
 tracted in 1723, to be erected near Eock Hall. William 
 Randolph had bought the whole of the 5,000 acres embraced 
 
St. JoHif's Chtjech. 13 
 
 in Dale's settlement, and had added as mucli more to his 
 estate, so that it extended down to Four Mile Creek, on 
 James river. Beside the Curie's plantation in this property, 
 there was also in it one, nearer the falls, called Varina from 
 the fact that its tobacco was supposed to have the same flavor 
 as that of "Varina in Spain. Next to the Varina plantation 
 was the glebe of the parish, consisting of between 195 and 200 
 acres, which at an early date had taken the place of the one 
 at Eock Hall, on the southern side of the James. The Hen- 
 rico court-house, prison, etc., were near by. The situation 
 was about where Eolfe had located his residence. 
 
 It appears from the first entry in this earliest vestry book 
 that the minister then in charge of the parish was, as he is 
 styled, The Reverend Mr. James Keith. On his ministerial 
 staff he had three lay readers. The salary of each was 2,000 
 pounds of tobacco, or about twelve and a half pounds sterling, 
 equivalent to some $60.50 in our money. Sometimes, how- 
 ever, they were more "a thorn in the flesh" than a help. For 
 in the minutes of the second meeting we read that the vestry 
 "Ordered 
 
 "That Sackfield Brewer be appointed Reader in the Chap- 
 pie, Richard Williams being absconded from his Duty 
 therein." 
 
 October 12, 1733, Mr. Keith ceased to be minister of the 
 parish. 
 
 About this time the Assembly considerably lessened the 
 size of Henrico county and parish. Goochland was cut off in 
 1727. Powhatan was taken along with it as a part of the 
 original Goochland. Dale parish, in Chesterfield, was set up 
 by itself in 1735. At a meeting held on June 17, 1735, a 
 temporary supply of the pulpit was arranged. The Rev. Zach 
 Brook was to preach a day in every fifth week at the Falls 
 Chapel, and the Rev. David Mossom every fifth Sunday at the 
 , Church. For this service they were to be allowed 400 pounds 
 of tobacco, or about two and one-half pounds English money, 
 per sermon. This Mr. Brook had been the first minister of 
 St Paul's, Hanover, and had labored in that charge as early 
 as 1724 at least. Mr. Mossom was at this time rector of St. 
 Peter's, New Kent, a position which he occupied from 1727 
 to his death, in 1767. In that capacity he married General 
 
14 History Heneico Paeish, 
 
 Washington at the "White Housbj" in St. Peter's Parish. 
 He came from Newburyport, Mass., and had the honor of 
 being the j&rst native American admitted to the presbyterate 
 in the Church of England. This arrangement was continued 
 until the following September, when "The Kevd mr. An- 
 thony Gavin" appeared on the scene. He produced 
 "a letter from the HontZe William Gooch, 
 "Esqr, his Maj's Lient. Governor of this Colony, and another 
 from the Kev'fZ James Blair, Commissary, directed to the 
 Church Wardens and Gen^ of the vestry, recommending the 
 said Mr. Gavin to the Cure of this parish." 
 
 These letters were read ; 
 "and the Vestry being desirious of first hearing him perf orme 
 the office of his Ministereal function," resolved to "Suspend 
 their opinion as to his reception till after Sermon, when they" 
 agreed "to meet again." 
 
 The trial sermon of this reverend candidate proved a suc- 
 cess. For it is immediately afterward entered that — 
 
 "Whereas the Jtevd Anthony Gavin hath performed his 
 office both in reading and preaching to the General Satis- 
 faction and approbation of the Vestry, it is thereupon unani- 
 mously agreed that he be received and entertained as minis- 
 ter of this parish." 
 
 There is no note of Mr. Gavin's resignation in the vestry 
 book. Bishop Meade says he served in Henrico only nine 
 months. The Bishop pronounces him a zealous and laborious 
 man, but very plain of speech. That latter trait of character, 
 combined with the fact that he was opposed to slavery as "un- 
 lawful for any Christian, and particularly for Clergymen," 
 may account for his short incumbency. But we find him 
 Eector of St. James', Goochland, August 5, 1738, and he con- 
 tinued in that position until his death, in 1Y49. 
 
 On Sunday, the 18th of July, 1Y36, the Eeverend William 
 StitJi, after having gone through the same process as his pre- 
 decessor, was received as Minister of the Parish. This Mr. 
 Stith was the only son of Capt. John Stith, of Charles City, 
 and the grandson, on his mother Mary's side, of William 
 Randolph, of Turkey Island, Henrico. He was born in 
 1689. He received his academical education at the grammar 
 school attached to William and Mary College. He pursued 
 
St. John's Chuboh. 15 
 
 his theological studies in England, and was ordained there. 
 On his return to Virginia, in 1731, he had been elected Mas- 
 ter of the Grammar School at Williamsburg, and Chaplain 
 to the House of Burgesses. He married his cousin, Judith, 
 daughter of Thomas Eandolph, of Tuckahoe. 
 
 His salary as Minister of Henrico Parish was 16,000 
 pounds of tobacco, equivalent to 100 pounds sterling, or, in 
 present money, $484. 
 
 It was during the ministry of Mr. Stith that the project of 
 building a new church began to be agitated. It was a com- 
 paratively easy thing in those days to build a church. The 
 vestry had only to order a levy to secure the building fund. 
 If any tithable person failed or delayed to make payment, the 
 collector was empowered to distrain for the tax. 
 
 A new church somewhere in this locality was beginning to 
 be a necessity, because of the increase of population here- 
 abouts. Already Richmond was looming up on the horizon 
 of the future as the town of the parish. The first action is 
 recorded as follows : 
 "At a Vestry held at Curls* Church for Henrico parish ye 
 
 8th day of October Anno Dom. 1Y3Y for laying ye parish 
 
 Levey — 
 "The Vestry do agree to build a Church on the most Conver 
 
 nient place at or near

 ing and of the time and place of undertaking the Same. 
 ******** 
 
 "It is ordered that the Collector do receive of every Tithable 
 
 person in this parish five 
 "pounds of Tobacco after the Usual deduction to be apply'd 
 
 towards building the New Church at Williamsons." 
 
 Had the resolution been literally carried out, the new 
 church would have been located on the Brook Eoad. Through 
 some unaccou ntable reason the matter was dropped for nearly

 book: . 1 T 1

 ******** 
 
 "It is Ordered that the Church Wardens do give Notice and

 "places in this parish, that on the Second thursday in Octo- 
 ber next, at Curls Church, will be 
 "held a vestry in order to let out the Building of the New 
 
 Church, at which Time the parish Levy will be Laid." 
 
 Next appears the following record: 
 "At a Vestry held for Henrico parish on the Twentieth day 
 
 of Deer Anno 1739 
 "It is agreed that a Church be Built on the most Convenient 
 
 Spot of Ground near ye 
 "Spring on Eichardsons Road, on the South Side of Bacons

 Current Money to be 
 "paid by the Ammount of the Sales of Twenty thousand 
 
 pounds of Tob'o annually 
 "to be Levyd on the parish and Sold here for Money till the 
 
 whole payment be compleat." 
 
 The contract price in United States figures was $1,536.70. 
 An appropriation of 5,250 pounds gross tobacco had been 
 made for this new enterprise out of the levy laid October 8, 
 1737. A levy of 20,000 pounds net tobacco had been laid 
 October 11, 1739, for the new church. May 5, 1740, the 
 vestry sold this last mentioned tobacco to Col. Eichard Kan- 
 
St. John's Chuech. 17 
 
 dolph at the rate of lOs. per hundred, current money. The 
 only additional appropriation toward this object found on 
 record was a levy of 20,000 pounds net tobacco, laid October 
 13, 1740. 
 
 But still another change in situation was necessitated. 
 "At a Vestry held for Henrico parish the 13 Day of October 
 
 Anno Com 1740. 
 "Eichard Randolph Gentleman, produses a Letter Directed 
 
 to him from the Honbre 
 "William Byrd, Esquie, which is read as foUoweth — ^viz: 
 
 'Sir— October 12th, 1740. 
 " 'I should with great pleasure, oblige the Vestry, and partic- 
 ularly your Self, in granting 
 "them an Acre, to build their Church upon ; but there are so 
 
 many roads already thro that 
 '•Land, that the Damage to me would be too great to have 
 
 another of a mile long cut

 "and considering the great number of people that live below 
 
 it, and would pay their 
 "Devotions there, that wou'd not care to go so much higher 
 
 I can't but think it wou'd be 
 "Agreeable to most of the people, and if they will agree to

 "two of the best Lots, that are not taken up, and besides give 
 
 them any pine Timber they 
 "can find on that side Shockhoe Creek, and Wood for burning 
 
 of Bricks into the Bargain. 
 "I hope the Gen't of the Vestrey will believe me a Friend to 
 
 the Church, when I make 
 "them this offer, and that I am both theirs — . Sir — and vour 
 
 most Hum'l ser' : W. Byrd.' 
 
 "Whereupon the Questian is put whither the said Church 
 should be Built on the Hill caled Indian Town at Richmond, 
 or at Thomas Williamsons plantation on the Brook Road, 
 and is caryed by a Majority of Voices for the former. 
 
 "It is thereupon Ordered that the Church formerly Agreed 
 on to be Built by 
 
 "Eichard Randolph Gen : on the South side of Bacons Branch, 
 2 
 
18 HiSTOET Heneico Paeish, 
 
 be Built on Indian Town at Kichmond, after the Same Man- 
 ner as in the said former Agreement was mentioned." 
 
 The allotment had been made in April, 1737. The two 
 lots which Mr. Byrd gave for the church constitute the Grace 
 street half of the present church yard. The Eecord Book 
 was destroyed by the British under Tarleton. The record of 
 the deed to these two lots is said to have been of the date of 
 March 5, 1743. 
 
 There is no record of the completion, or first use of this 
 church. But by December 7, 1741, the Falls Chapel seems 
 to have been ahandoned ; John Eals, its reader, and Eleanor 
 Williams, its sexton, had been transferred to this church; 
 and everything here was in full blast. The only thing left 
 for us to suppose is that this church was completed at the date 
 called for by the contract, June 10, 1741. Probably the 
 erection of this church had rendered the Falls Chapel un- 
 necessary. 
 
 The lines of the church then erected are easily distinguish- 
 able. The present transepts lie exactly with the points of the 
 compass. They formed the eastern and western ends, respec^ 
 tively, of the original church. Imagine the northern sides of 
 the two transepts connected. The old church would thus be 
 enclosed. All the portion of the present church lying north 
 of that imagined line, or, in other words, the present nave of 
 the church, was a later addition. The ceiling in the old 
 church was a foot and two-thirds below the present cornice. 
 The chancel, according to the then prevailing ecclesiastical 
 custom, was in the eastern end. The present pulpit, with 
 its sounding board and the latter's panel, stood there. The 
 pews, of course, all faced in that direction. In the western 
 end was a gallery. It projected as far as the present angle 
 of the transept and the nave. Beneath it, on the south side, 
 was the robing room. On the opposite side of the aisle were 
 the stairs to the gallery and a lumber closet. The gallery 
 was lighted by two small windows. The present are the origi- 
 nal pews, but they have been lowered. Formerly their backs 
 reached to the windows. The hinges are handwrought, and 
 fastened on by nails made in the same way. The wains- 
 coting and the window sash are those first put in. Any one 
 examining the exterior will easily recognize the original 
 
St. John's Chuech. . 19 
 
 weather-boarding. It is thicker and wider than on the newei" 
 part of the church, and fastened by nails wrought on the an- 
 vil with heads half an inch broad. 
 
 The officers of the church at this time were as follows : 
 The Eev. William Stith, Minister. 
 James Powell Cocke, Church Warden. 
 James Cocke, Church Warden. 
 Eichard Randolph, V^tryman. 
 John Eedford, Vestryman. 
 Bowler Cocke, Vestryman. 
 John Boiling, Vestryman. 
 Edward Curd, Vestryman. 
 John Williamson, Vestryman. 
 John Povall, Vestryman. 
 Eobert Mosby, Vestryman. 
 
 William Fuller, Parish Collector and Vestryman. 
 Peter Eandolph, Vestryman. 
 Sackville Brewer, Eeader at Curies Church and Clerk of 
 
 the Vestry.* 
 John Eales, Eeader at Eichmond Church. 
 John Hobson, Sexton at Curies Church. 
 Eleanor Williams, Sexton at Eichmond Church. 
 
 While in charge of Henrico Parish and living in its glebe 
 house Mr. Stith wrote his History of Virginia. He pub- 
 lished it in 1747. It went through the printing and book- 
 binding establishment at Williamsburg, then the only one in 
 the colony. Its exceptional exactness gave its author the 
 reputation of being "lie accurate Stith." 
 
 In his introduction he suggests a picture, which is a restr 
 ful contrast to the busy life of the present clergy of this 
 parish. He says that he wrote his history as "a noble and 
 elegant entertainment for my vacant hours." 
 
 December 3, 1751, the Eev. Mr. Stith resigned the parish 
 to take effect the first day of the following October. The 
 reason given is that he had been "Chosen Minister of S. 
 Ann's." 
 
 But in August of 1752 he was elected President of Wil- 
 
 ♦Richard Rockett was clerk of the Vestry from Nov. 13, 1749, to 
 Dec. 8, 1752. "Rocketts" is said to have been so known from Sept. 
 27, 1731. 
 
20 HisTOEY Heneico Paeish, 
 
 liam and Mary College. He accepted that position, and died 
 in it, three years later. The Eev. Eascow Cole declined the 
 offer of the Parish. The Eev. Joseph Bewsher at first 
 accepted the Vestry's unanimous election, but resigned be- 
 fore the date set for his taking charge. This could not have 
 been the well-known Jonathan Boucher, who was tutor to 
 Washington's stepson (young Custis) ; for Jonathan Boucher 
 was only born in 1738, and ordained in 1Y62. Finally, 
 August 25, 1752, the Eev. Miles Selden was unanimously 
 elected minister. He accepted, to enter on his office the first 
 day of the next October. He was the grandson of John 
 Selden, the first settler of the name, who came to the Northern 
 N'eck of Virginia about 1690.* He was the first cousin of the 
 Eev. Wm. Selden, Eector of Elizabeth City Parish, in 1771. 
 The arrangement with him was that he should per- 
 form divine service at the Eichmond Church once every 
 five weeks. This Church had been called the "New 
 Church," the "Upper Church," the "Eichmond Church." 
 Within a few years after its erection, it was also spoken 
 of as the "Town Church." How completely the tide had 
 begun to ebb from the neighborhood of Curies is shown 
 by the fact that in 1768 the Vestry recorded the opinion that 
 Curies Church should be removed ; and that a committee was 
 appointed to choose a new location. But by 1770 it had been 
 determined simply to repair the old building. The "Wor- 
 shipful Qentlemen of the Vestry" began to hold their sessions 
 at "Eichmond Town." The first meeting of the Vestry in 
 Eichmond of which we know occurred November 13, 1749, 
 when the Eev. Wm. Stith was present. That care for ap- 
 pearances had been attended to which such a situation de- 
 mands. Eleanor Williams, the sexton, was put to work 
 making curtains. There must needs be imported from Eng- 
 land as quickly as possible —

 "to be of good Purple Cloth, and the Surples good Hollond, 
 
 also a

 The Church lot in 1746 had been fenced in with wood. 
 In 1770 it was walled in with bricks four and one-half feet 
 high above ground. The remains of this improvement may 
 undoubtedly be seen in the present Grace street wall and in 
 the lower portion of the Twenty-fifth street wall of the 
 church yard. 
 
 By December 8, 1772, it had become necessary to enlarge 
 the church. It is of record under that date that, 
 "It is the Opinion of the Vestry that 
 "An Addition of Forty feet in 
 "Length and of the same wedth as the 
 "pres't Church at Eichmond is be 
 "Built to it, at the North Side with 
 "a Gallery on both Sides & one End 
 "with proper windows above and below, 
 "& Order'd that the Chwdns Lett to the 
 "Lowest Bidder the Building the said 
 "Addition." 
 
 That improvement was the beginning of what constitutes 
 the present nave. Probably the most valuable testimony as 
 to what constituted the changes now made is that given by the 
 Kev. Prof. Cornelius Walker, C'. D., of the Virginia Theo- 
 logical Seminary. He became a Sunday school scholar and 
 an attendant upon the services of St. John's in 1826, and con- 
 tinued so until the time of the changes, in 1830. He de- 
 scribes the building consistently with the action of the Vestry 
 just quoted. The galleries were supported by light columns. 
 He thinks there were two narrow aisles in this new nave, 
 along the outer side of each of which ran the line of gallery 
 columns. But 1 think the two aisles were introduced in 
 1830. The original gallery at the west end of the old church 
 remained. Over it also continued the belfry, sustaining a 
 bell. The chancel and pulpit were, of course, removed to the 
 centre of the south side of the old church, so as to face the new 
 nave. 
 
 The panel of the sounding board stood up against the wall 
 
22 HisTOEY HEiirEico Paeish, 
 
 between two windows. There was as yet no door at the east 
 end of the old church. But on its south side and east of the 
 new position of the chancel was a door with an aisle running, 
 across the old church from south to north, where naturally 
 there would have beea a space before the original chancel. 
 
 There waa, I understand from another source, one pew 
 between this aisle and the eastern wall of the transept. This 
 south door opened upon the walk leading up from near the 
 corner of Grace and Twenty-fifth streets. According to Mr. 
 P. K. Oarrington, this door was not closed until 1857 or 
 1859. All the interior woodwork was unpainted, but so 
 smoothly finished as to have the appearance of having been 
 varnished. , . . , 
 
 Mr. P. E. Oarrington is of the opinion that the original 
 communion rail, which extended across the whole eastern end 
 of the old church, remained even after the pulpit had been 
 removed, and that behind this rail the President of the Vir- 
 ginia Convention of 1775 sat, when that body was in session 
 within the building. 
 
 Meanwhile the Vestry-book is witness to the fact that 
 the glebe was also kept in good repair and enjoyed im- 
 provements from time to time. ISTor by any means was 
 the whole of the spiritual energies of the parish concen- 
 trated in the Eichmond Church. Two other chapels had been 
 erected, one at Deep Eun, between 1742 and 1745,* and the 
 other, somewhere before 1773, near Boar Swamp, on what is 
 now the site of Antioch Baptist Church, about twelve miles 
 from Eichmond, in the direction of the ISTine Mile Eoad. 
 Among the last entries in the oldest Vestry book is the fol- 
 lowing account of the obligations of the Parish :

 It was while the hand of the Rev. Miles Selden was upon 
 the helm that the fair ship whose course we are tracing en- 
 tered the storm cloud of the Revolutionary War. Thence 
 forward it is lost to view, except for infrequent momentary 
 glimpses, till 1785. All that we know of it are the following 
 facts: Its rector, Mr. Selden, was the chaplain of the Vir- 
 ginia Convention of 1775. That Convention met in this 
 church March 20th of that year, under the presidency of 
 Edmund Pendleton. This meeting of a political convention 
 in a church was no unusual thing in those days. The first 
 General Assembly, the earliest legislative body in America, 
 had sat with their hats on, after the manner of the English 
 Commons, in the church at Jamestown, July 30, 1619. A 
 member left on record the reason. "The most convenient 
 place we could find to sit in was the quire (sic) of the 
 Church." 
 
 At the session of the Virginia Convention referred to 
 as having been held in St. John's Church, Patrick Henry 
 flashed the electric spark, which exploded the colony in 
 revolution. He stood, according to tradition, near the 
 present corner of the east transept and the nave, or more 
 exactly, as it is commonly stated, in pew 47, in the east 
 
24 HiSTOBY Hbiteico Paeish, 
 
 aisle of the nave, the third one from the transept aisle. 
 He, as we have already seen, faced the eastern wall of 
 the transept, where were then two windows. In the more 
 northern of these stood Col. Edward Carrington. He broke 
 the silence that followed the orator's burning words with the 
 exclamation: "Eight here I wish to be buried." The situa- 
 tion of his tomb bears witness to the fulfillment, by his wife, 
 of his request at his death, in 1810. 
 
 At last, in 1781, when Kichmond had fallen into the hands 
 of Arnold, this sacred edifice was made a barracks for his 
 British soldiery. It must have seemed then to pastor and 
 people that the final word in their parochial history had been 
 written. But Easter Monday, March 28, 1Y85, brings us to 
 the beginning of a second Vestry book. It is a volume 6^x8 
 inches, bound in leather. It contains on 696 pages the min- 
 utes to April 5, 1887. 
 
 Erom 1785 the history of Henrico Parish will be almost en- 
 tirely localized in Kichmond. We must, therefore, take a brief 
 glance at the situation. The town when captured by Arnold 
 is said to have had some three hundred houses. At about this 
 time, when the seat of government was removed hither, the 
 inhabitants, with the exception of two or three families, were 
 Scotch. Their small tenements were scattered here and there 
 between the river and the Hill. Colonel, afterward Judge 
 Marshall, observed that the little cottages looked "as if the 
 poor Caledonians had brought them over on their backs, the 
 weaker of whom were glad to stop at the bottom of the hill ; 
 others a little stronger proceeded higher ; while a few of the 
 stoutest and boldest reached the summit, which, once accom- 
 plished, affords a situation beautiful and picturesque." 
 
 The first record in the second Vestry-book is of an election 
 of twelve Vestrymen, holden on March 28, 1785, at the court- 
 house, in the city of Kichmond. 
 Their names were : 
 
 Edmund Kandolph, John Ellis, 
 Jaquelin Ambler, Turner Southall, 
 
 Bowler Cocke, Nathaniel Wilkinson, 
 
 Miles Selden, Jr., Daniel L. Hylton, 
 William Foushee, Thos. Prosser, 
 
 Hobson Owen, Wm. Burton.

 On the following Thursday, in this church, the majority 
 subscribed the required promise of conformity and organized 
 for duty. Edmund Eandolph and Bowler Cocke were ap- 
 pointed church wardens. They were instructed to recover the 
 church plate and other property, and to open subscriptions 
 for the repairs of the churches and the salaries of sextons. 
 One of these, appointed at this meeting for Eichmond, was a 
 woman. It is evident that, besides the Eichmond church, 
 those at Curies and at Deep Eun were still in existence. 
 But there was no minister. 
 
 On the 10th of the following May the Eev. John Buchanan 
 was unanimously chosen by ballot incumbent for the Parish. 
 I am unable to reconcile with this action the statement which 
 is said to have been copied from the Virginia Gazette of 1785, 
 that the Eev. Miles Selden died May 23, 1785, being min- 
 ister of St. John's at the time of his death.* Some question 
 afterward arose whether the election of a minister was war- 
 ranted by the powers then vested in the vestry. So the ves- 
 try, on June 7th, repeated the formality. His duties, with 
 reference to services, were defined to be that he should preach 
 every other Sunday in "Eichmond Churcli," and on the in- 
 tervening Sunday at Curies and Deep Eun alternately. Dis- 
 cretion was given him as to the place for celebrating the fes- 
 tival days. 
 
 On the 15th of June, 1785, the first convention of the re- 
 organized Diocese of Virginia was held in Eichmond. Prob- 
 ably the sessions for business were held in the capitol ; but by 
 resolution the Convention attended divine service on Thurs- 
 day, at 9 A. M., in this, at that time, "the Church in this 
 city," and listened to an "excellent sermon" preached in this 
 pulpit by the Eev. John Bracken. It was a correspondence 
 between the Eev. David Griffith and the rector of Henrico 
 parish that led to the resuscitation of the Church in Vir- 
 ginia. Both Mr. Buchanan and the lay delegate of this par- 
 ish, Edmund Eandolph, took prominent parts in this Conven- 
 tion. Mr. Eandolph was afterward Governor of Virginia and 
 Attorney-General and Secretary of State in Washington's 
 Cabinet. 
 
 *The Rev. John Buchanan may have been made Assistant Min- 
 ister. 
 
26 HiSTOEY Heneico Paeish, 
 
 Mr. Buchanan was elected treasurer of the Diocese. He 
 faithfully and efficiently occupied that position for nearly 
 thirty years, until increased age and consequent infirmities 
 compelled him to decline reappointment. Mr. Kandolph was 
 on a committee to prepare an address "to the members of the 
 Protestant Episcopal Church of Virginia, representing the 
 condition of that Church, and exhorting them to unite in its 
 support." 
 
 Its words have become famous in American Church his- 
 tory: "Of what is the Church now possessed? Nothing but 
 the glebes and your affections." Mr. Eandolph also reported, 
 in behalf of a committee, the resolution that declared the 
 willingness of the Virginia Convention "to unite in a general , 
 ecclesiastical convention with the members of the Protestant 
 Episcopal Church." June 28, 1785, the Vestry acted on the 
 recommendation of the late Convention and appointed a com- 
 mittee to prepare subscription papers for the expenses of con- 
 secrating and maintaining a Bishop, one subscription paper 
 to be circulated by each member of the Vestry. 
 
 A sad picture is drawn 'for us in a statement prefixed, 
 April 2, 1789, by the Vestry, to other subscription papers, 
 which they subsequently circulated. The minister and other 
 officers had been serving for several years with little or no 
 compensation ; also they deeply deplore "the almost total de- 
 cline of divine worship for some years past, and the conse- 
 quent depravation of the morals of every denomination 
 amongst us." A letter of Mrs. Edward Carrington, to an 
 English friend, dated 1792, and quoted by Bishop Meade, 
 reveals still more of the spiritual darkness then prevailing : 
 
 "This evil (the want of public worship) increases daily; 
 nor have we left in our extensive State three churches that are 
 decently supported. Our metropolis even would be left des- 
 titute of this blessing but for the kind offices of our friend, 
 Buchanan, whom you remember well, an inmate of our fam- 
 ily. He, from sheer benevolence, continues to preach in our 
 capitol to what we now call the New School — that is to say, 
 to a set of modern philosophers who merely attend because 
 they know not what else to do with themselves. But, blessed 
 be God, in spite of the enlightened, as they call themselves^ 
 and in spite of Godwin, Paine, etc., we still, at times, par-

 tienlarly on our great Churcli days, repair with a choice few

 Delightful hours we sometimes pass there/' etc. 
 
 Mr. Buchanan had come to Richmond from Lexington 
 Parishj Amherst county, Va. He left there a salary of 
 10,000 pounds of tobacco. In all his ministry in this parish 
 he received little beside the rent of the glebe and the per- 
 quisites of the office. That little was mostly bestowed in 
 charity upon others. He was a frugal bachelor, and for ten 
 years eked out his scanty pittance here by tutoring in the 
 family of one of his kindest vestrymen, Mr. Jaquelin Am- 
 bler, for many years Treasurer of the Commonwealth. After- 
 ward he was made comfortable by the inheritance of the 
 property of his brother James, who had been a well-to-do 
 merchant in this city. The Vestry, however, tried to fulfill 
 its obligations to the rector. At its April meeting in 1789, it 
 adopted a plan for securing a revenue, which it continued to 
 follow for years. The city was divided into four wardships. 
 Canvassers were appointed for each. As a result, on the 23d 
 of May following they were able to pay Mr. Buchanan 20 
 pounds, the clerk and the sexton each two pounds eight 
 shillings, and to appropriate a surplus of 3 pounds 14 shil- 
 lings to repairs and other contingencies. The following De- 
 cember Mr. Buchanan was paid sixty pounds for the preced- 
 ing half year's services. 
 
 But the other evil mentioned by the Vestry — viz : the de- 
 cline in church attendance — ^was not so easily overcome. In 
 1790 this church had been practically abandoned. Even the 
 triennial elections of the Vestry were appointed to be held at 
 the Capitol, the day to be subject to the weather. It was opened 
 for service only at the great festivals, Christmas, Easter and 
 Whit Sunday, when the Lord's Supper was administered. 
 Thenceforth for years the services of our Church were held 
 in the Capitol on alternate Sundays with the Presbyterians. 
 Mr. P. E. Oarrington says that Mr. Thos. H. Drew, who 
 removed to Richmond in 1800, told him that, from that date 
 ■until about 1815, Dr. Buchanan held service at St. John's 
 only three times each year, Easter, Whit Sunday and Christ- 
 mas, when the Holy Communion was administered and con- 
 
28 History Henkico Paeish, 
 
 finnations were held. The congregation in its personnel was 
 much the same every Sunday. Between the pastor of the 
 Presbyterians, Kev. John D. Blair, and Mr. Buchanan, the 
 most delightful fraternity existed. The spirit of Church 
 unity engendered by this joint worship prompted the Vestry, 
 in this same year, 1790, to extend permission to any regular 
 minister of any denominaliion whatever, professing Chris- 
 tianity, to use the country churches of the parish, when not 
 used by the Kev. Mr. Buchanan or any other minister of the 
 Protestant Episcopal Church. And in 1812 the custom of 
 alternating services with the Presbyterians was transferred to 
 this, the parish Church. 
 
 A little glimpse into the musical features of the parochial 
 history is now afforded us. July 24, 1790, the rector was 
 requested "to contract with Mr. Purrington to conduct Psal- 
 mody every Sunday for three months in the time of divine 
 service, for which he was authorized to promise Mr. Pur- 
 rington six shillings for each day's attendance^ or being ready 
 to attend." It appears that the rector had to advance and 
 wait some time for a repayment of the chorister's salary. 
 
 Already the question of a new organ had been prominent. 
 February 15, 1791, the Vestry had in hand £34, the proceeds 
 of a concert and the sale of an old organ. This amount they 
 determined to appropriate for a new instrument. But prob- 
 ably because the fund did not increase sufficiently for this 
 purpose, the money was in 1794 loaned out to the minister. 
 
 April 25, 1791, an inventory of property was taken. The 
 glebe was reported to be worth about £1,000, and at the time 
 was renting for £40 per annum. Its houses were out of re- 
 pair. The personal property consisted of "one silver cup and 
 salver." The older of the present patens and chalices bear 
 the London Goldsmiths Co.'s mark of 1718. They are quite 
 likely the communion vessels referred to in this inventory. 
 
 In 1792 begins the lamentation which wails forth from 
 many a modern Vestry book. Great difficulty was experienced 
 in collecting money which had been subscribed or pledged for 
 the support of the parish. But the Vestry of that day applied 
 heroic measures. The balances due on subscriptions for 1791 
 were delivered to the town sergeant for collection. Where 
 immediate payment could not be obtained, notes payable in 
 
St. John's Chuech. 29 
 
 three months were requested. In 1793 it was declared that 
 promissory notes were preferable to suhseriptions. And in 
 1794 it was determined that all arrearages up to the end of 
 1793 should be put into the hands of a collector, with instruc- 
 tions to commence suit on every delinquent that would not 
 make immediate payment. 
 
 All previous troubles and perplexities, however, were only 
 as the penumbra of the eclipse now at hand. There is no re- 
 cord of a Vestry meeting between April 29, 1794, and May 
 12, 1812, except one held April 8, 1807. Indeed, the de- 
 pressed condition of the whole Church in Virginia was so 
 great between 1799 and 1812 that even the aimual conventions 
 were discontinued for several years. When the Vestry did 
 meet in 1807 it was only to confess failure. For then was 
 begun a movement looking to the purchase of ground and 
 the erection of a church to accommodate the many members of 
 the Protestant Episcopal Church who felt that it was no 
 longer convenient to attend the services on Church Hill. 
 Bishop Meade paints a distressing picture of the condition of 
 the parish at this time. "My next Sabbath (that is, after his 
 ordination at Williamsburg, February 24, 1811,) was spent 
 in Eichmond, where the condition of things was little better. 
 Although there was a church in the older part of the town, it 
 was never used but on Communion days. The place of wor- 
 ship was an apartment in the Capitol, which held a few hun- 
 dred persons at most ; and as the Presbyterians had no church 
 at all in Richmond at that time, the use of the room wafi 
 divided between them and the Episcopalians, each having 
 service every other Sabbath morning, and no oftener. Even 
 two years after this, being in Richmond, on a Communion 
 Sunday, I assisted the rector, Dr. Buchanan, in the old 
 church, when only two gentlemen and a few ladies communed. 
 One of these gentlemen, the elder son of Judge Marshall, was 
 a resident in the upper county." 
 
 In the fall of 1812 correspondence began with, a view to 
 securing an assistant minister for the parish. Meanwhile 
 the rector was requested to obtain help when necessary for 
 any of the churches in the parish. But in the providence of 
 God an event occurred which solved many perplexing prob- 
 lems, though apparently not at all for the advantage of this 
 
30 HisTosY Hbneico Paeish, 
 
 particular church. The terrible calamity of the destruction 
 of the Richmond Theatre by fire, and the consequent holo- 
 caust of prominent citizens and precious lives had led to the 
 erection on the fatal spot of a memorial church. This, in 
 1814, was opened for worship under the name of the Monu- 
 mental Church. 
 
 The Vestry of Henrico Parish welcomed the new addition 
 so soon as they learned it was to be Protestant Episcopal in 
 character. Thus at once was met the desire for a new and 
 more convenient church on the part of those who had located 
 around the Capitol on Shockoe Hill. And shortly an assist- 
 ant, whose need had been felt as early as 1812, was also thus 
 secured. Bishop Madison had died in 1812. In 1814 
 Bishop Moore was elected Bishop of the Diocese. Dr. Bu- 
 chanan himself received one vote for the office. Bishop 
 Moore also accepted the rectorship of Monumental Church. 
 Thereupon Monumental Vestry proposed to pay $200 per an- 
 num to the Vestry of Henrico Parish towards an assistant 
 minister for "the Richmond Hill Church," provided that, in 
 the absence of the Bishop on Diocesan duties, that assistant 
 should officiate once every Sabbath, alternately morning and 
 evening, in the Monumental Church. The Vestry of Henrico 
 Parish readily acquiesced and appropriated one thousand dol- 
 lars per annum for three years as its share toward the assist- 
 ant's salary. A unanimous ballot was cast for the Rev. David 
 Moore, of New York, the eldest son of the Bishop by his first 
 marriage. And in the following November the right of suc- 
 cession to the rectorship was given to Mr. Moore. Mr. Moore 
 did not accept. 
 
 The Rev. Wm. H. Hart, who had married a niece of 
 Bishop Moore, laid before the Vestry testimonials as to "his 
 good conduct for three years past," "as required by the 31st 
 Canon of the Church of the United States." May 1, 1815, 
 he was elected assistant minister, with the right of succession 
 to the rectorship. He is described as stout, weighing about 
 170 pounds, and being 5 feet 10 or 11 inches in height. 
 
 And yet the erection of Monumental sealed for many long 
 years the fate of that congregation, whose history we are espe- 
 cially pursuing, to be weak and struggling. Monumental was 
 spacious and handsome. In it was centered the melancholy and 
 
St. John's Chttbch. 31 
 
 curious interest attaching to the awful calamity, from whose 
 ashes it had sprung. It had the prestige of having for its 
 rector the learned, godly, courtly and eloquent Bishop of the 
 Diocese. It was situated near the brow of that hill on which 
 the Capitol was the nucleus for the gathering of wealth and 
 fashion. The statistics of the parochial reports in the Con- 
 vention Journals tell the inevitable result In 1816 Monu- 
 mental had 120 communicants; "the Church on Richmond 
 Hill" about 30. Before Bishop Moore arrived, Dr. Bu- 
 chanan had generally preached at Monumental on Sundays. 
 After the Bishop took charge, the Doctor frequently read the 
 service. One of his auditors has left on record the judg- 
 ment: "He was, I think, the best reader I have ever heard."' 
 And even after an assistant of Henrico Parish had been se- 
 cured, according to the proposition of .Monumental Vestry, 
 it would seem that Dr. Buchanan himself assumed the duty 
 of officiating at Monumental when the Bishop was absent. 
 Et. Buchanan had also been appointed, according to a plan 
 then followed in the Diooese of "Virginia, a sort of rural dean 
 or presiding elder over the neighboring counties of Goochland 
 and Louisa, as well as over Henrico itself. Even after the 
 burden of years had weighed down Dr. Buchanan, Bishop 
 Moore reports him as engaging every Sunday in ministerial 
 duties without pay. 
 
 The Bishop gratefully acknowledged his assistance at Mon- 
 umental. While Dr. Buchanan thus devoted himself to 
 Monumental and general church duties, his assistant, the 
 Pev. Mr. Hart, was producing a revival of material pros- 
 perity in the congregation worshipping on the other hill. 
 In 1815 and 1816 $988.32 had been spent on repairs to the 
 church, which even then was beginning to be called "old." 
 In 1816 Mr. Hart had been authorized to treat for and pur- 
 chase an organ from a 'New Tork builder at a cost of $1,100. 
 In 1818 the size of the church was deemed inadequate to the 
 accommodation of all its members. It was determined to 
 build a new, spacious and handsome brick edifice. The site 
 chosen, according to the testimonv of living citizens, was the 
 northeast corner of Broad and Twenty-tbird streets. It is a 
 matter of record, according to Mr. Ohas. P. Eady, historian 
 of "Richmond Randolph" Lodge of the Masonic Fraternity, 
 
32 HiSTOEY Hewkico Paeish, 
 
 that on June 24, 1818, a procession marched from its hall to 
 "the old church on Eichmond Hill"; that there an appro- 
 priate address was delivered by the Rev. Wm. Henry Hart; 
 and that after the discourse the lodges present proceeded to 
 the site chosen and laid the corner-stone of the new church 
 amidst a large concourse of citizens. 
 
 In 1819 the annual parochial report to the Bishop at the 
 Convention noted that the new church had been begun, and 
 was rearing completion. The Sunday school was reported to 
 be flourishing. And the number of communicants had at- 
 tained what proved to be high-water mark for years. The 
 truth of the matter is the times were inflated; there was a 
 "boom." Dr. Walker says that speculators insisted thiat 
 Eichmond would rival ISTew York. Various additions to the 
 manufacturing establishments of the city were located on and 
 near Church Hill. And according to Dr. Walker, the bald 
 scars on its sides tell the tale of uncompleted improvements. 
 
 But before the year 1820 had reached its noon a terrible 
 financial reaction had thrown the congregation back into 
 weakness and despair. Already in 1817 there was evidence 
 that the organ and other purchases had overstrained the con- 
 gregation. The organ had cost $1,420.86. Only $978 had 
 been paid. The balance was still due, even in June, 1825. 
 Special means were taken to raise money. In 1819 there was 
 in financial circles what we call to-day a "panic." So that to 
 the Convention of 1820 the minister in charge reported that 
 the congregation had almost been crushed by the pressure of 
 the times. 
 
 We hear no more of the proposed new and elegant church 
 at the corner of Broad and Twenty-third streets. But Dt. 
 Walker says its skeleton was not taken down until 1828 or 
 1829. As he remembers it, it had the appearance of a large, 
 square building of fine red brick, with projections, making it 
 almost hexagonal, a shape probably suggested by the Monu- 
 mental Church, of which, I dare say, it was to be a rival. 
 Its four sided roof rose to a point. There were to be three 
 galleries. The structure was more than half finished when 
 the work was abandoned. 
 
 But the depression did not last long. The improvement 
 that set in showed that the chastening had had its divinely 
 
St. John's Chuech. 33 
 
 intended effect. Thencefortli the growtih of the churcli was 
 rather spiritual than material. 
 
 At this period the church yard began to receive attention. 
 In 1799 the municipal authorities liad purchased from John 
 Adams and from Eichard Adams, Jr., the latter being tlie 
 executor of Thos. B. Adams, the two lots lying between the 
 churcb's property and Broad street, and had enclosed the 
 whole square witb a brick wall at the city's expense. At the 
 same time the churah yard was open as a burying ground for 
 the city at large. An arrangement was subsequently entered 
 into by the Vestry and the city fathers by which the churcb 
 resigned the management of the burying ground in return for 
 the city's bearing the expenses of the church yard. 
 
 We are indebted to Mr. P. ~R. Oarrington for a resume of 
 the city's action at this time with reference to the burying 
 ground. 
 
 July 18, 1814, an abortive effort was made at a meeting of 
 &e "Oity Hall" to provide an ordinance for "regulating the 
 mode of interment in the burying ground belonging to the 
 Corporation adjoining the Episcopal Church on Richmond 
 Hill." But on the 19tli of June, 1815, in "an ordinance for 
 regulating the public burying grounds of this city," it was 
 stated that "an arrangement bad been entered into by the City 
 Hall and the Vestry of the Parish of Henrico, by which all 
 the grounds appropriated to the interment of the dead, which 
 belonged to said Parish and situated on Richmond Hill, had 
 been enclosed by one common wall with the lands which be- 
 longed to the corporation adjoining thereto, and that it was 
 well understood that the Common Hall should at_ all tiines 
 have power to establish such reffulations as they might think 
 most proper for the government of the same, and' should 
 moreover incur and defray all necessary expenses attending 
 the erection of gates and steps and keeping the brick wall in 
 good repair." It was ordained that the Church Wardens 
 should have authority to appoint the sexton or keeper, and to 
 remove him as well as to have authority over him during his 
 term of office. No respect of religious denomination was to be 
 allowed in interments ; and the fee was fixed. The Wardens 
 were to draw on the Chamberlain of the City for an amount 
 not exceeding $50 per annum for repairing the wall, gates 
 3 
 
34 HisTOEY Heneico Paeish, 
 
 and steps to grounds. No subsequent changes were made for 
 some time, save as to fees. But the whole arrangement was 
 evidently merely a formal one for years; for in 1828 the 
 Vestry gave the rector charge of the graveyard and author- 
 ized him to pay the sexton for care of the church out of the 
 receipts from grave digging. And we are told by Mr. P. R 
 ' Carrington that the first '^keeper" was appointed May 18, 
 1863, by City Council. 
 
 Twenty years had now elapsed since the city's addition to 
 the church yard in 1799. It must be remembered that this 
 was the only public cemetery in the city until the opening of 
 that known as Shockoe Cemetery, in 1826. The whole square 
 had now been filled with graves. The Vestry protested 
 against further interments therein. In ]!fovember, 1820, 
 they appointed a committee to obtain a burying ground else^ 
 where, and to secure subscriptions from the citizens generally 
 to that object. The committee reported in May of the follow- 
 ing year that it had been unable to secure a convenient site 
 for the location of the proposed new burying ground on ac- 
 count of the high price charged for land. October 9, 1821, 
 the Vestry requested the Wardens, "hereafter to prohibit the 
 sexton from digging any graves in the old part of the burying 
 ground without written permission from one of them." 
 
 One who has carefully examined the records, reports that 
 at this Vestry meeting, October 9, 1821, the first mention of 
 the parsonage is made in the minutes. 
 
 The plan of renting pews had been agreed upon in 1812. 
 Only one-half of the whole number were at first offered for 
 rent, and that only for one year. They were disposed of at 
 public auction. Later the period was increased to three 
 years, and the number of pews offered for rent was made two- 
 thirds instead of one-half. The wardens reported that "the 
 measure of renting the pews appeared very pleasing to a great 
 portion of our parishioners." By 1816 the pew renting 
 system had been so thoroughly engrafted on the congregation 
 that in that year the Vestry was elected by the pew renters. 
 In 1820, however, through the inadequacy of receipts to meet 
 current expenses, the custom of weekly collections for volun- 
 tary contributions was added. This feature does not seem to 
 have met with favor. For after seven months of trial the 
 collections were confined to the first Sunday in the month. 
 
St. John's Chtjeoh. 35 
 
 And now once more the question of a new churcli was agi- 
 tated. A Mr. Day, of Maryland, had made certain propo- 
 sitions respecting ihe building of a new cliurch on the site of 
 the old one. July 1, 1822, a committee of two was appointed 
 to act thereupon and report to the next meeting of the Yestry. 
 But the project seems to have been "pigeon-holed" by the 
 committee. 
 
 December 19, 1822, the Parish was afflicted in the death of 
 its rector, the Kev. John Buchanan, D. D. (William and 
 Mary, 1Y94). The whole community mourned his departure. 
 He was buried beneath the chancel, to the right of the com- 
 munion table. Among the obituaries which appeared at the 
 time in the secular press of Richmond, were such tributes as 
 these: "He was faithful to the duties of a minister and a 
 man." "One who left few equals and no superior ; one whose 
 loss is literally irreparable." "So good, so humane, and so 
 benevolent a man. Always happv, always cheerful, always 
 loving and beloved. He was the very soul of his com- 
 panions." 
 
 Mrs. Lydia H. Hart (wife of the Eev. Wm. H. Hart, his 
 assistant and successor), on December 28, 1822, wrote: 
 
 "Along the church-way path I saw him borne ; 
 ******* 
 
 Beneath the altar had the grave been made ; 
 And there with solemn awe and reverence due. 
 His dear remains were laid." 
 
 Eight days after Dr. Buchanan's death Mr. Hart, in ful- 
 filment of the arrangement made at his appointment to the 
 assistantship, was requested to assume the rectorship. One 
 of the first achievements of his rectorate was to save the glebe 
 to the parish. It will be remembered that this property was 
 situated on the north side of the James river, next to the 
 Varina estate. There is no evidence that it had been pur- 
 chased by a levy of the Vestry on the people. On the con- 
 trary, there is every probability that it was a gift to the parish 
 by the London Company, and that it was secured to the parish 
 by an old patent. 
 
 Mr. P. E. Oarrington states that the patent was from Sir 
 William Berkeley, Governor, and was dated April 16, 1666. 
 
36 HisTOET Heneico Paeish, 
 
 The boundaries given are 198 acres, three roods, 16 poles. 
 The entry in the patent book in the Virginia Land Office is 
 under date October 9, 16Y2. 
 
 In 1817 the Vestry had protested against its confiscation, 
 on the ground partly that it had been in all probability a 
 private donation to lie parish, and partly that the incumbent 
 was still living. As soon as Dr. Buchanan was dead, the 
 overseers of the poor pounced upon the glebe again and of- 
 fered it for sale. But Mr. Hart obtained, in 1826, a decree 
 in chancery in favor of this Church againfet all claims of the 
 overseers of the poor. A purchaser for the glebe was found 
 by the Vestry. But meanwhile the overseers had taken an 
 appeal. The intending purchaser naturally declined closing 
 the bargain until a final decision was obtained. The Vestry 
 asked the overseers to unite with them in a petition for an 
 immediate decision of the case. 
 
 Under the succeeding rector an effort was made by the 
 
 Vestry through him to lease the lands. But the record of this 
 
 action, taken March 26, 1829, is the last entry on the Vestry 
 
 book in reference to this matter. Bishop Meade says : "I am 
 
 privately informed that the Vestry withdrew their claim or 
 
 did not prosecute it, rather than involve the Church in what 
 
 might prove a long and bitter controversy with the overseers 
 
 of the poor, representing the citizens of Henrico, although 
 
 well persuaded that the Chancellor was right in his decision." 
 ******** 
 
 "In ceasing to contend for their rights, the Vestrymen of 
 Henrico only did what other Vestrymen have done, prefer- 
 ring rather to suffer loss than promote strife, and thereby 
 injure the cause of religion." 
 
 Fortunately the Church was not left without a rectory. 
 The rectors ever since the last decade of the previous century 
 had been living in a parsonage situated on the east side of 
 Twenty-fourth street, between Broad and Marshall. The 
 south line of the lot began at a point 110 feet north of Broad 
 street. The lot was 55 feet wide and 120 feet deep. It had 
 been given for the use of the minister by Col. Eichard Adams. 
 October 9, 1821, trustees had been appointed to receive from 
 his executor and legatees a deed of conveyance of this par- 
 sonage house. But a deed to it was not secured until March 
 
St. John's Chuech. 37 
 
 3, 1871. Then Mr. P. E. Oarrington (administrator of the 
 estate of Kichard Adams, Sr.) made one to the trustees of 
 St. John's Church. i;t was duly recorded. 
 
 Mr. Hart also was successful in developing the Sunday- 
 school to a high degree of prosperity. Among the 19 in his 
 confirmation class of 1827 were 5 of his 22 Sunday school 
 teachers and 6 of the 190 scholars. The rector , enthu- 
 siastically testifies to the harmy influence of the Sunday school 
 upon the whole Church. The fact that he kept a day school 
 for boys during part of his ministry may account for his 
 success in Sunday school work, notwithstandipg his reputa- 
 tion for using the rod freely. That year, through the exer- 
 tions of the Sunday school teachers, aided by the congrega- 
 tion, the interior of the Church was painted and otherwise 
 much improved. Some of the teachers and young men of the 
 congregation personally engaged in the manual labor. 
 
 Bishop Moore, in his Convention address, declared it to be 
 "second in its internal appearance to very few of the churches 
 in this Diocese." The Bishop said he had preached there to 
 a very large congregation, and mentions the present pros- 
 perous state of the Church. 
 
 July 13, 1828, Mr. Hart intimated his determination to 
 resign his charge in consequence of an intended removal to 
 Few York. To Mr. Hart we owe the keeping of a parish 
 register, from September 17, 1815, when he administered a 
 baptism. The original was sent anonymously to the Kev. 
 L. W. Burton, when rector. Back of that there are no official 
 records. But Mr. P. R. Carrington has copied into the 
 Parish Eegister, that in use in 1891, the original returns ii^ 
 the Henrico county records, from July 2, 1785, to May 28, 
 1791, both inclusive, and the notices which appeared in the 
 Eichmond Enquirer from April 4, 1808, to March 11, 1817, 
 the latter date being that of the marriage of General Win- 
 field Scott. 
 
 The Eev. Wm. P. Lee was unanimously elected Mr. Hart's 
 successor. He was to receive for his salary the entire income 
 from the rent of pews. According to Bishop Meade's descrip- 
 tion, he was light as a feather, but possessed of a strong mind 
 and will, and lived under the pressure of a heart and soul 
 devoted to the love of God and man. Although physically 
 
38 HiSTOKT Hbneioo Parish, 
 
 ■unequal to the itinerancy, he had revived the foundations of 
 the Church in Goochland, Powhatan, Amelia and Chester- 
 field, and had seen them supplied by ministers. His minis- 
 try in Eichmond began in September, 1828. To Mr. Lee we 
 probably owe the name "St. John's Church." This build- 
 ing had had, as we have seen, many names: "The New 
 Church," "The Upper Church," "The Eichmond Church,"' 
 "The Town Church," "The Church on Eichmond Hill," "The 
 Eichmond Hill Church," "Henrico Church on Eichmond 
 Hill," "The Church," "The Old Church," etc. There 
 is no record of action agreeing upon the name "St. John's." 
 But in the Vestry book shortly after Mr. Lee's advent it was 
 written for the first time without comment : "At a meeting of 
 the Vestry of Henrico Parish, at the lecture room, of St. 
 John's Church, Eichmond, Saturday evening, April 25, 
 1829," etc. And in the Convention Journal for that same 
 year this Church is entered in the parochial reports as "St 
 John's Church, Eichmond, Henrico Parish." 
 
 A little later we come to another change in titles. The 
 Vestry continued until 1850 to record its minutes as those of 
 Henrico Parish. But May 7, 1833, the wardens make a re- 
 port, in which they style themselves "The Wardens of St 
 John's Church, Henrico Parish." It was, however, in 1840 
 that the rector of this Churgh was spoken of, no longer as 
 rector of Henrico Parish, but as rector of St. John's Church. 
 
 Mr. Lee's ministry was full of promise from the start He 
 reported to the Convention of 1829 that his weekly lectures 
 were generally crowded. The Sunday school flourished. A 
 library of nearly 200 volumes had been added to it. No 
 longer was the gallery at the west end of the old church suffi- 
 cient for the sessions of the school in winter, nor the other 
 galleries in summer. A portion of the school overflowed into 
 the pews below. And Dr. Walker also says that the Lenten 
 services, especially those of Passion Week, were more largely 
 attended. A missionary society, auxiliary to the Domestic 
 and Foreign Society of the General Church, had been organ- 
 ized. The members of it had engaged with zeal and spirit 
 in the cause of missions. It was during his ministry that 
 night services were begun, apparently for the first time in the 
 history of the parish ; for, according to Dt. Walker, there had 
 
St. JoHiir's Chttech. 39 
 
 been previously no lamps. He says that evening lectures 
 had been introduced at the Eectory soon after 1826. But 
 now, according to the same eye witness, a few lamps were 
 placed at the pulpit and at one or two other important points ; 
 and sperm candles, in little tin sticks, were attached by nails 
 to the gallery columns and elsewhere. Neither before this 
 time had there been a vestry-room, for Parson Hart, so Dr. 
 Walker reports to us, wore only the black gown and robed and 
 unrobed in the parsonage. But as the use of the surplice, in 
 Dr. Walker's opinion, was introduced by Mr. Lee, so also in 
 his judgment was the robing room placed under the gallery 
 in the west end of the original church during the same min- 
 istry. It was at best only ten feet square, and made by a 
 slight partition. 
 
 But the question of a new church in another location, 
 which had been agitated ever since 1807, now loomed up 
 again. This time determined and energetic spirits backed up 
 the enterprise, and they were led by the rector. Their pro- 
 ject was to go down into the Valley below the hill and either 
 build a new edifice or buy the Presbyterian church, that in 
 1825 had been erected on the south side of Grace street be- 
 tween Seventeenth and Eighteenth, and that was known, from 
 the peculiar shape of the ornament on the apex of its spire, 
 as "The Pine Apple Church." 
 
 A church quarrel was the result. Bishop Moore mediated 
 as arbitrator. He says in a letter, entered on the minutes 
 December 31, 1829, that to his knowledge the expediency of 
 building a church below Eichmond Hill had been the subject 
 of consideration for several years past, and before the Kev. 
 Mr. Lee was appointed rector. The Bishop furthermore de- 
 clares that the course of conduct pursued by the rector, war- 
 dens and a part of the Vestry, as proved before him, did not 
 show that they, or any of them, used unfair means to effect 
 that object, or that they knew, if such be the fact, that such 
 a measure was against the wishes of a majority of the con- 
 gregation. "But," said the Bishop also, "I am equally well 
 satisfied that the building of a new church at this time is 
 highly inexpedient and unadvisable, owing to the present 
 divided state of the congregation." 
 
 The issue of the controversy was that December 31st of 
 
40 HisTOEY Hewrico Paeish, 
 
 1829 the rector resigned ; his followers purchased the "Pine 
 Apple Church" ; and they and he established there the congre- 
 gation now known as Christ Church. A strenuous effort was 
 systematically made to prevent the admission of Christ 
 Church into union with the Convention. But its application 
 was granted hy a vote of 56, to 2. It is a happy thing that 
 the Mother Church and this one of her oldest daughters, 
 though they parted on hard terms, are now the warmest and 
 most helpful of neighbors. 
 
 After Mr. Lee's failing health had compelled him to resign 
 Christ's Church, he founded the Southern Churchman, and 
 continued to edit it even on his death bed. He was a great 
 helper to Bishop Moore, and won many friends besides the 
 Bishop by his amiable qualities and zealous piety. 
 
 It is to be noted in passing that there were at the time of 
 this dissension 46 pews in St. John's Church. This would 
 not have been possible, unless there had been some previous 
 addition to the Church where the present nave now stands. 
 
 A band of devoted adherents was left at St John's. Though 
 few in number, they were indomitable in pluck and strong in 
 influence. They requested the Bishop to officiate or to secure 
 a supply of the pulpit during the vacancy. They deter- 
 mined at once to alter and repair the church. It was in aU 
 probability at this time that the nave was increased to its 
 present size of 45 feet width and 39 feet depth. Two aisles 
 were also introduced instead of the former central one. The 
 galleries on each side of the nave were removed, and only the 
 one in the rear of the nave, for the organ and choir, and that 
 at the west of the original church, for the colored people, were 
 retained. Instead of the single entrance in the centre, two 
 front doors were introduced. The belfry over the west end 
 of the original building came down, to be replaced, in the first 
 half of the decade of 1830, by a tower and bell. 
 
 Mr. P. R. Carrington finds in the proceedings of the "Fe- 
 male Charitable Association of St. John's," pp. 37 and 38, at 
 a meeting held July 8, 1830, the following minute: "Re- 
 solved, That the sum of $100 of the funds of the Society be 
 appropriated to the purchase of a bell for St. John's Church, 
 Henrico Parish, and that the treasurer be authorized to pay 
 the same so soon as the bell is purchased."

 It is possible that the former hell is now over the public 
 school building in Martinsville, Henry county, Va. It was 
 purchased of a Eichmond firm in 1831, by a citizen of that 
 town, and presented by him to the authorities for the present 
 purpose. The tradition is that, when sold, it was represented 
 as having hung in St. John's tower, in Kichmond, and as hav- 
 ing been discarded because of a crack. It is described as a 
 small cracked bell, its tone thereby affected, evidently of last 
 century work, of suDerior metal, and bearing some evidence 
 of artistic embellishment. 
 
 The grounds also at this time received attention. Dr. 
 Walker describes their previous condition as one indicating 
 utter neglect. The old-fashioned flowers were well-nigh hid- 
 den beneath underbrush. Toung trees, chiefly peaches and 
 cherries of the large Blackheart variety, flourished in a sort 
 of wild abandon. Except in the walks from the main gates, 
 tall grass and periwinkles abounded. The grave stones of 
 whole families had disappeared, and the rem.oval of remains 
 to other cemeteries had begun. 
 
 Apropos of interments, Dr. Walker notes that the funeral 
 processions seldom entered Broad street gate, as is now the 
 case, because the street itself was short and iie gate smaller 
 than at present ; and there was no broad path to it. This was 
 also the case with the gate near the Brick School-House. 
 Hence these two gates were not always open. But the gates 
 at the corner of Grace and Twenty-fifth streets, and on Twen- 
 ty-fourth street, were the chief ones, and always open on pub- 
 lic occasions. Broad paths led from them ; and by the former 
 the funeral processions were accustomed to enter. The 
 Twenty-fourth street gate had been opened by friends of the 
 Church for the sake of greater convenience, at their own ex- 
 pense, according to permission of the Vestry granted July 3, 
 1820. 
 
 It seems to have been as late as 1882 when the Cemetery 
 Committee of the City Council, at the instance of the Vestry, 
 opened the present brick walk from the Twenty-fourth street 
 gate to the Church, thence entirely around the Church, and 
 also down to the Brick School-House. 
 
 The Kev. Edward W. Peet, of Hampstead, King George 
 county, was called to the rectorate of St. John's February 24, 
 
42 HiSTOEY Heweico Paeish, 
 
 1830. His salary was to be $Y50 a year, if the pew rents 
 would yield that amount; and he was also to have the par- 
 sonage. In February Bishop Moore instituted him into the 
 rectorship of St. John's. This is one of the three institu- 
 tions which have occurred in this Diocese up to 1891. It 
 may be accepted as a sign of Quick reconciliation, such as be- 
 comes estranged Christians, that the sermon, at this institu- 
 tion of his successor, was preached by the Kev. Mr. Lee, 
 rector of Christ's Church. In 1830 Mr. Peet reported 24 
 commimicants at the Easter Communion. In 1831 he re- 
 ported five accessions to the communion. But Christ Church 
 by that time had 43 communicants. Mr. Peet was hindered 
 in his work. He was compelled to be absent twenty-one Sun- 
 days through sickness and other causes. 
 
 That the people of St. John's in their opposition to the 
 formation of Christ Church had no idea of blocking all 
 progress in the parish is evident. The Vestry instructed 
 the representatives of the parish to use their exertions and 
 influence to secure for Monumental that independent 
 union with the Convention which that congregation desired. 
 The lay deputy from Henrico became himself the patron 
 of the memorial sent by Monumental congregation to the 
 Convention. August 2, 1831, a petition was received ask- 
 ing the sanction of the Vestry to the establishment of a 
 new Episcopal Church within the Parish of Henrico, to 
 be located in a convenient situation on Shockoe Hill. TTnali- 
 imous consent was given by the rector and vestry. In ex- 
 pressing it they said that they regarded with pleasure the 
 prospect of promoting the welfare of the Episcopal Church 
 within the parish,' and did cheerfully assent, provided the 
 church be located west of the Capitol. 
 
 To the Council of 1832 St. John's reported 30 communi- 
 cants. Christ Church reported 60, and Monumental 172. 
 
 July 25, 1833, the Kev. E. W. Peet resigned. Eev. Eobt. 
 B. Croes, on the 31st of August, accepted the election of the 
 Vestry. They offered him a salary of $Y50 per annum, pay- 
 able semi-annually, and a house. In the spring of 1833 the 
 ladies had held a fair. By it they accomplished what would 
 be considered a remarkably fine result now-a-days : they raised 
 more than $900. Eight hundred dollars were applied toward 
 
St. John's Chttbch. 43 
 
 the erection of a tower ; $100 toward the purchase of a bell. 
 This tower was in the shape of a cupola or belfry, open so that 
 the bell was exposed. It was also under Mr. Croes' minis- 
 try, in 1835, that the brick building in the southwest part of 
 the church yard, now commonly known as the Brick School- 
 house or the Brick Chapel, was erected for the Sunday school 
 and for a week-day school. Its size was 37 feet by 25 feet. 
 Its cost was $750. "As to spiritual things," says Mr. Croes, 
 however, "the officiating minister has thus. far met with very 
 little to encourage his heart." 
 
 Mr. Croes had previously been assistant to Bishop Moore 
 at the Monumental, from 1825 to 1830. In this connection 
 he was highly spoken of by the Rt. Rev. Rector. His min- 
 istry at St. John's was terminated January 21, 1836. On the 
 next day the Rev. Wm. H. Hart was recalled from New York 
 to his former position as rector of St. John's on a salary of 
 $800 and the parsonage. Mr. Hart seems to have taught 
 school in Richmond during this as also during his previous 
 rectorship. 
 
 The next year "the Vestry of Henrico Parish," as it still 
 styled itself, joined that of Bruton Parish, and probably 
 oliiers throughout the Diocese, in a rebellion against the Con- 
 vention. They refused to send a delegate, because the dele- 
 gates were required by the amended constitution to be com- 
 municants. It was asserted by Bruton Vestry that nine- 
 tenths of the church members were not communicants. 
 
 In the fall of 1837 St. James' Church was organized. In 
 1889 it was admitted into union with the Convention, and 
 the building consecrated. In the latter year there were more 
 than 100 adults belonging to St. James' congregation, and 
 between 30 and 40 communicants. The membership was 
 composed largely of those who had been attending the Monu- 
 mental. But the movement indicates the increase in the 
 number of Episcopalians in Richmond, and the fact that they 
 were settling westward of the centre of the city. 
 
 In 1842 the communicants of St. John's numbered 31. 
 The Sunday school had 72 scholars and 12 teachers. There 
 is a still more certain manifestation of the low ebb to which 
 affairs had run. At the meeting of the Vestry at which Mr. 
 Hart's resignation was accepted, an organist was elected to 
 
44 HiSTOET Heneico Paeish, 
 
 serve till l^ovember 1, 1842, when Mr. Hart was to leave, 
 "and (to serve) afterwards, if tlie churcli is kept up." Par- 
 son Hart died July 28, 1852. But the great lesson taught 
 by St. John's history is that workers for Christ must have 
 such faith in their Master that they will never be discour- 
 aged. Knowing that their labor is never in vain in the Lord, 
 they must be "steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the 
 work of the Lord." We must leave Him to decide when the 
 "due season" for reaping shall have arrived. Meanwhile we 
 must faint not, neither be weary in well doing. "Yield not 
 to misfortunes, but advance all the more boldly against 
 them." 
 
 In its 150 years of history there is record of frequent 
 occasions when its candle almost sputtered out and of times 
 when even its own rector advised that the candlestick be re- 
 moved from its place. But now St. John's is one of the 
 strongest and most fruitful congregations in Virginia. 
 
 To every sister church now struggling against many odds, 
 and especially to those country churches whose most able and 
 faithful supporters are moving away, St. John's message is : 
 Be true to the loving command of Christ, written in Revela- 
 tion 2 : 25 : "Tenete donee veniam" ("Hold fast till I come"). 
 
 The middle of our century marks a favorable turning point 
 in our history. After consultation with the clergy of the 
 city, a committee of the Vestry exercised the powers given it 
 and appointed the Rev. J. H. Morrison, of Buckingham, the 
 rector. His rectorship lasted from January 26, 1843, till 
 May 15, 1848. His ministry seems to have been blessed with 
 a substantial increase to the vineyard, both as to spiritual and 
 as to material interests. In 1845 he reported to the Conven- 
 tion, as the fruits of his two and one-third years' ministry, a 
 growth from 31 to 51 communicants, and an addition of some 
 eight families. The whole number of families was now about 
 31. Five hundred and forty dollars had been spent in re- 
 pairing and improving the church edifice. The school-house 
 had been leased, and the proceeds applied to the support of 
 the Sunday school. The object of the lessee was probably to 
 use the building for a day school. In 1848, when Mr. Mor- 
 rison resigned, the communicants numbered 64, of whom one 
 was colored. This was a number more than double that re- 
 
St. John-'s Chueoh. 45 
 
 ported at the time of his call to the parish. The correspon- 
 dence between him and the Vestry in connection with his re- 
 signation indicates perfect harmony, and evinces mutual re- 
 gret at severing pastoral relations. The Vestry willingly bore 
 testimony to the ability, zeal and faithfulness with which he 
 had discharged his duties. 
 
 Meanwhile important changes had taken place in the parish 
 at large. St. Paul's Church had come into being. Its cor- 
 ner-stone was laid October 10, 1844, and it was consecrated 
 ISTovember 11, 1846. The bulk of the congregation of Monu- 
 mental, with its rector, Eev. Dr. Wm. Norwood, migrated to 
 it in December of 1845. Their motive was to secure a larger 
 edifice. But the portion of the former congregation remain- 
 ing at Monumental invited the congregation of Christ Church 
 to unite with it in Monumental, under the rector of Christ 
 Church, the Eey. Geo. Woodbridge. 
 
 A few of the former Christ Church people joined St. 
 John's. This was a practical abandonment of Christ Church. 
 April 16, 1846, St. Luke's Church had also been consecrated 
 on the site of the present Clay Street M. E. Church. It was 
 a building of small dimensions. With lot and fence its cost 
 was about $2,850. It was intended to be a missionary sta- 
 tion of the Eev. Dr. Bolton. St. Mark's now occupies the 
 field first opened by St. Luke's. 
 
 The Rev. Henry^ S. Kepler followed Mr. Morrison, and 
 entered upon his duties about October 10, 1848. In 1850 he 
 reported communicants — ^white, 52 ; colored, 1. Number of 
 families, 50, embracing 185 individuals. One hundred and 
 fifteen of these were adults. In the Sunday school were 12 
 leacherSj. 4 of whom were male, and 76 scholars, the average 
 attendance of whom was 65. In 1851, Mr. Kepler reported 
 contributions to different institutions amounting to $750. A 
 new hell, 3 feet 2|- inches in diameter, cast by Francis Me- 
 neely, in West Troy, in 1850, had been put in, the old one 
 having been broken in the course of long usage. Extensive 
 repairs were in progress, which, by the next Convention, he 
 was able to report completed and paid for. In 1854 he re- 
 ported a new furnace put in and paid for. May 2, 1855, a 
 committee of the vestry was appointed "to apply to the Com- 
 mon Council of the city of Eichmond" "for the protection and 
 
46 HiSTOET Heneico Paeish, 
 
 preservation of the burying ground attached to our Church." 
 Their letter of May 5th calls "attention to the neglected con- 
 dition of the old churchyard on Church Hill," and asks them 
 to "adopt such prompt measures as to (them) may seem ad- 
 visable to cause its ruins to be repaired." It refers to an 
 ordinance passed some three years before, directing "that the 
 grounds should be laid out in walks, beautified with trees and 
 other shrubbery, and that a new wall, which the grading of 
 the street rendered necessary, should be erected on Twenty- 
 fourth street." Twenty-fifth street it must be, but the re- 
 cords say "Twenty-fourth." But the whole of the appropria- 
 tion then made had been absorbed in the wall. 
 
 The result is thus described in the committee's letter : "The 
 lapse of three more years of neglect has but increased the 
 desolations which overspread this ancient city of the dead. 
 There is, perhaps, no spot within our Commonwealth around 
 which there linger prouder and holier memories than this. 
 Here the infancy of our great and prosperous country was 
 rocked by our noble sires ; and here, too, sleep the remains of 
 some of our earliest and most worthy citizens." 
 
 "To neglect such a spot is to forfeit our claim as the wor- 
 thy descendants of such sires, and to proclaim our shame to 
 the hundreds of our citizens from other States who annually 
 visit it as a spot made sacred to them in the story of our 
 struggles for national independence."

 "Erom this scene of ruin, what impression of us must they 
 carry with them to their distant homes ? Will you not adopt 
 some prompt and effectual measures to remove this reproach 
 from the honor of our city ?" 
 
 It was probably owing to this stirring statement and urgent 
 appeal that^ February 21, 1858, the City Council gave to one 
 of its committees exclusive authority to give consent to inter- 
 ments in "this square," and that, on October 24, 1859, it was- 
 fixed that the appointment of the committee should be an- 
 nually in December. By an ordinance approved on the 23d 
 of March, 1886, a result was produced that went far beyond 
 the best that the petitioners of 1855 could have dreamed of. 
 Two hundred dollars were appropriated for expenses and 
 $400 for the pay-roll. It was provided that the committee 
 
St. John's Chuech. 47 
 
 should consist of three members of the Common Council and 
 two of the Board of Aldermen, appointed by the presidents, 
 respectively. "The committee shall cause to be kept in order 
 the whole of said enclosure, with gates and steps for passing 
 through it, and everything vsdthin the enclosure and outside 
 of the church." 
 
 "ITothing in this section shall be construed to authorize the 
 committee to prevent or interfere with the use of the church 
 by the congregation thereof." ISTo interments were to be 
 made without the consent of the committee. 
 
 It may be noted here that there was only one interment in 
 1891, and only twenty up to and including that year since 
 November 1, 1869. 
 
 The present appearance of the grounds is such as to make 
 the square the most beautiful in Kichmond, and to rival any 
 churchyard the country over. For this condition, so delight- 
 ful to members of the congregation and to our citizens gen- 
 erally, and so highly approved by visitors, the chief praise is 
 due to the faithful, efficient and courteous sexton and keeper, 
 Mr. Antoni Graffigna. 
 
 In 1856 the tide of spiritual prosperity was high. That 
 year the rector reported 11 communicants. Two new Sun- 
 day schools had been established ; one an infant school of 20 
 scholars, the other a colored school, in which from 60 to 65 
 were taught orally by the rector. The old school had been 
 much increased, and now numbered 17 officers and 102 
 scholars. But in 1858 had set in again that fatal reaction 
 which is so often painfully noticeable in church work, as in 
 all other enterprises. The communicants had dropped to 69 ; 
 the two new schools had been abandoned or merged into the 
 old one; that old one had decreased to 70 scholars and 14 
 teachers. The only residuum of the fine Sunday school en- 
 thusiasm of two years before was $600 on hand for a new 
 Sunday school building. And now this project was aban- 
 doned. In lieu of it, on motion of the rector, it was unani- 
 mously determined to build a new church, if subscriptions 
 sufficient for that purpose could be obtained. By May 5, 
 1859, probably owing to a depression in the church's financial 
 affairs, it had been determined only to make an extension of 
 the church. Even that proposition fell short of execution, in 
 
48 HisTOET Henbico Paeish, 
 
 all likelihood through the resignation, on the 16th of the fol- 
 lowing June, 1859, of Mr. Kepler, to become Evangelist of 
 the Diocese. He and his people parted on excellent terms, 
 with reciprocal regards and good wishes. 
 
 It may have been at this time, or at least at some time be- 
 tween 1857 and 1860, that the east transept door was cut 
 through, the two east windows closed, the door at the south- 
 east comer of the old part of the church closed, and the former 
 aisle to it filled with a pew or pews. 
 
 The Vestry still felt sufficiently strong to ofier a salary of 
 $1,200 per annum. October 2, 1859, the Kev.- John T. 
 Points accepted their call, his ministry to begin from Novem- 
 ber 1st following. He had been a missionary to China. 
 Then he had labored in New Kent, building in the northern 
 part of the county what used to be St. James' Church. St. 
 John's enjoyed during his brief pastorate a delightful revival 
 of all its best interests. Everything was again fanned up to 
 splendid zeal. Twenty were confirmed in 1859 and 1860. 
 There was an additional net gain of ten ; the total number of 
 communicants was 110. The Sunday school numbered 18 
 teachers, 138 scholars. He died June 10, 1860, in his thir- 
 tieth year, in King William county. A committee of the Ves- 
 try went there to escort his remains home. The Vestry bore 
 glad witness to his lofty Christian virtues and noble ministe- 
 rial labors. The church, by their order, was draped in mourn- 
 ing for sixty days. A monument "erected by the ladies of St. 
 John's Church and his Masonic brethren, in grateful remem- 
 brance of his labor of love amongst them," now marks his 
 resting place in the church yard. 
 
 After the death of Mr. Points the Kev. Wm. 0. Butler, of 
 Halifax C. H., was called. He accepted the rectorship, with 
 a salary of $1,500 and a parsonage, September 17, 1860. 
 The number of communicants and ihe size of the Sunday 
 school were a little increased. But the country was begin- 
 ning to suffer the terrible throes of war. In consequence, 
 the congregation was drained of men and money. Especially 
 in view of this, the Vestry found that, in their zeal to get a 
 rector, they had made offers they could not meet. And for 
 the same reason the ijector found he could not support him- 
 self.

 The restry insisted upon services on Sunday night and 
 once on a week day. The rector resented this action as an 
 encroachment upon his prerogatives. Having also premo- 
 nitions of pulmonary trouble, he resigned November 27, 1861. 
 
 A committee was appointed to secure temporary services. 
 The Vestry resolved itself into a committee of the whole to 
 consult the pew holders as to the choice of a successor. It 
 fell upon the Eev. Wm. N'orwood, D. D. For years, first at 
 Monumental and then at St. Paul's, he had gone in and out 
 among the citizens of Kichmond and won their unanimous 
 esteem and affection. He was called March 18, 1862, on 
 $1,000 a year and the parsonage. He accepted April 5th, 
 and began his ministrations on Easter day, the third Sunday 
 in April. It fell to his lot to share with his beloved people 
 the brunt of the war. Spiritual interests not only held their 
 own, but increased somewhat. And there was a consequent 
 material liveliness. A committee was appointed April 6, 
 1863, to confer with the administrator of the estate of the 
 donor of the parsonage. Col. Richard Adams, with a view to 
 selling it and investing the proceeds in bonds or otherwise till 
 the Vestry could purchase another house or lot. If the pro- 
 ject had been consummated, undoubtedly the proceeds would 
 have been swept away amid the reverses of the war. 
 
 This same year, 1863, the rector stepped out of his vestry 
 room one Sunday morning to perform divine service, when 
 the calamitous result of a wind storm met his eye at the 
 northern or front end of the church. The steeple was pros- 
 trate. Two lower edges of the bell were somewhat scaled 
 off ; but otherwise it was uninjured. The spire was not re- 
 stored until about November, in 1866. The plan was drawn 
 and contributed by Col. Alfred L. Rives, C. E. The cost, 
 including necessary and incidental repairs, was $1,213, the 
 funds for which were mostly raised from a fair held in the 
 basement of Trinity M. E.' Church. December 10, 1866, 
 weekly collections were again resorted to to meet incidental 
 expenses. The crippled state of the congregation at the 
 close of the war can be judged from the report of the treas- 
 urer, L'ecember 4, 1866. The arrearages in pew rents were 
 $1,385, of which $365 were available. Though the treasurer 
 had personally advanced $417.86, there was still due the 
 4 
 
50 HisTOBY Heweico Paeish, 
 
 rector, on the preceding six months, $348.37 out of the annual 
 salary of $1,000. 
 
 August 17, 1868, Dr. Iforwood handed in his resignation, 
 to take effect October 1st. He had accepted a call toEmr 
 manuel Church, Henrico county. This was his last charge. 
 He departed this life July 29, 1887, in the eighty-first year 
 of his age, venerated hy all who knew him. 
 
 The Eev. Henry Wall, of Christ Church, West Kiver, Md., 
 was elected to fill his place. He accepted and began his 
 labors October 25th. The parsonage was enlarged and put 
 into repair. Chiefiy by means of a fair held in the Sunday 
 school room of Trinity M. E. Church, at the comer of Twen- 
 tieth and Broad streets, in May, 1869, $647.64 were raised 
 for its furnishing. The rector's salary was made $1,250. 
 He reported to the Bishop at the next Council a net increase 
 of 14 communicants and a total number of 127. The Sun- 
 day school had fallen off from 120 scholars to 109. The 
 treasurer of the church was authorized by the Vestry to pay 
 the expenses of the Sunday school. In 1869 and 1870 the 
 congregation was consulted, and there was a thorough dis- 
 cussion of the pew system, the free church plan and the 
 envelope method of raising a revenue. The result was that a 
 modified form of the pew rent system with the envelope fea- 
 ture was adopted. The rector's salary was increased to $1,400 
 from ISTovember 1, 1870. 
 
 In January of 1871 a joint committee of the Vestry and 
 the Sunday school was appointed to devise a plan for raising 
 means to build a new Sunday school house or enlarge the old 
 one. On the 18th of the following March a committee was 
 appointed to secure from the City Coimcil permission to 
 widen and extend the Old School-House. It may be noted 
 that this building was at this time spoken of as "the lecture" 
 — or "school-room." 
 
 Meanwhile another misfortune had overtaken the congre- 
 gation. The Chesapeake and Ohio Eailway, in tunnelling 
 through Church Hill, had undermined the parsonage. The 
 rector and his family were obliged to move out in the night 
 The railroad company behaved handsomely and enabled the 
 trustees to secure what was at the time a fine property,, at the 
 southwest comer of Twentieth and Broad streets, valued at 
 
St. John's Chueoh. 51 
 
 $6,500. In the first half of 1874, the entrance door on either 
 side of the tower was closed up, and the base of the tower was 
 opened, as it appears at present Thus a vestibule was se- 
 cured at a cost of $159.88. 
 
 May 29, 18Y4, the Eev. Jas. W. Shields, son of the late 
 TCnerable and esteemed Senior Warden, became the assistant 
 of St. John's. By his using here the office of a deacon well, 
 he purchased to himself a good degree. To this estimable 
 and promising young clergyman, on August 3, 1890, the last 
 sad rites of mortality were rendered in this church, in which 
 his ministry had auspiciously begun. 
 
 Eev. Dr. Wall resigned July 15, 1875. He was a clergy- 
 man of vigorous mind and ripe scholarship. His sermons 
 will be remembered by all his hearers as full of grace and 
 power. He was a native of Ireland and a graduate of Trin- 
 ity ^College, Dublin. His theological education was received 
 at the Seminary of Virginia. The first year ^f his ministry 
 was spent in South Carolina. His last charge was in Kent 
 countyi Md. The interval was chiefly devoted to the Diocese 
 of Virginia. On account of ill health he retired from the 
 active ministry about a year before he died. And August 19, 
 1889, in his 72d year, he passed away among the people to 
 whom he had last ministered. 
 
 During the twenty years preceding 1875, there had been 
 great advances in the parish at large. Grace Church, under 
 the rectorship of the Eev. Mr. Baker, had been consecrated 
 January 14, 1859. July 6, 1860, Emmanuel, Henrico, 
 under the rectorship of the late Bishop Wilmer, of Ala- 
 bama, was consecrated. In 1862 and 1863 St. Philip's had 
 been erected under the rectorship of Eev. D. F. Sprigg. 
 In 1866 St. Mark's was reported as organized and as being 
 built under the rectorship of the Eev. T. G. Dashiell. The 
 present St. Mark's was erected in 1872 and 1873, and conse- 
 crated June 26, 1880. The former building of St. Mark's 
 was, bought for the colored people, and is now St. Philip's. 
 In 1868 and 1869 a church was organized by Eev. J. E. 
 Hammond in an "upper room" in Manchester. The present 
 Meade Memorial Church was built in 1869 and 1870. Christ 
 Church congregation had been reorganized by Mr. Dallas 
 Tucker in 1870 and 1871. By July 12, 1871, a church had 
 
62 HiSTOET Henbico Paeish, 
 
 been erected and consecrated. In 1875 Moore Memorial 
 Chapel of St. James' was reported as built. In 1880 it bad 
 become an independent church, with Kev. Dr. Sprigs as rec- 
 tor. And finally, in 1876, St. Paul's reports the erection of 
 St. Andrew's, with Eev. Pike Powers in charge. St. An- 
 drew's was consecrated December 30th following. 
 
 In 1875 Dr. Wall was succeeded by the Eev. Alexander 
 Watson Weddell. He was called from Harrisonburg, Va., 
 on $1,400, and the use of the rectory, and accepted to begin 
 work the second Sunday in September. In 1876, the follow- 
 ing year, he reported to the Bishop at the Council 196 com- 
 municants, 28 Sunday school teachers, and 169 scholars. In 
 the fall of 1875 the sum of $200 was in hand for a new Sun- 
 day school building. The question arose, as it had during 
 Dr. Wall's ministry, whether to enlarge the old or build a 
 new school-house. iN'ow also it was debated whether, if a new 
 school-house was built, it should be within the grounds or 
 outside the churchyard. Finally it was decided to build a 
 new school-house within the grounds. The present frame 
 Sunday school building was the result, September 11, 1876. 
 
 February 12, 1877, action was begun looking to the altera- 
 tion of the church. This was accomplished. The church 
 was opened October 21, 1880, after being a month in the 
 hands of the workmen. Then the gallery at the western end 
 of the original church and the rooms below it had been re- 
 moved. The chancel had been enlarged by a curved recess. 
 A vestry room, ten by twelve, had been added in the rear of 
 the chancel. The pulpit had been lowered some 12 or 18 
 inches, the steps and railing to it from the westerly side and 
 the soundinsr board removed. New chancel furniture had 
 been introduced. More specifically, a square holy table, with 
 scroll work between its legs, was substituted for the oval 
 fronted table, which, in turn, was placed in the frame school- 
 house ; and oaken chairs took the place of the two of mahogany 
 which had been given in the rectorship of Mr. Kepler. The 
 gallery in the northern end of the nave, which had extended 
 to the second window from the north, was reduced to its pres- 
 ent dimensions. The organ was cleaned and repaired. The 
 ceiling of the original church had remained flat all these 
 years. Now the whole of the church was made to have one 
 
St. John's Chtjbch. 53 
 
 concave ceiling, and a large gas reflector was suspended from 
 it Old girders in the roof, which were discovered to have be- 
 come weakened by dry-rot, were removed, and new, strong 
 timbers were substituted. The entire church was renovated 
 and repainted. By the change 11 new pews were added, 
 while there was no lessening the number in the present gal- 
 lery. The total cost of the improvements was $1,003.65. 
 
 May 14, 18Y7, D'r. "Weddell's salary was increased to $1,500 
 a year. In 1880 two new Sunday schools were started ; the 
 one now known as Calvary Mission, situated then and for 
 years afterward at the southeast corner of Main and Nine- 
 teenth streets, under the superintendence of Sergeant B. F. 
 Howard; the other a colored school, (There had been for a 
 brief period a colored Sunday school during the rectorship of 
 Rev. H. S. Kepler, in 1855-'56, started by a devoted church 
 worker, Mrs. James M. Estes, in her kitchen.) A Sunday 
 school organ and library had been purchased at a total cost of 
 $332. 
 
 It appears in the Council reports of 1881 that St. John's 
 had 300 communicants and an aggregate Sunday school en- 
 rollment of 423. This indicates the prime of Dr. WeddeU's 
 indefatigable labors and noble gifts. From that time the 
 strong, brave man, so true and forceful in speech, so boldly 
 aggressive and perseveringly energetic in action, began to 
 fail in health. And the machinery of the church began to 
 falter with the slackened pulsations of that heart which had 
 been for years the tireless motive power in it all. Arrange- 
 ments were made for an assistant in the fall of 1882. The 
 Rev. Lyman B. Wharton, D. D., first occupied that position 
 for some three months, from February 26, 1883. Then the 
 Rev. Francis M. Burch followed, from June 15, 1883. Most 
 tenderly and generously did the appreciative and affectionate 
 congregation minister to their pastor's every possible need. 
 They took advantage of every opportunity to save the life of 
 their beloved and devoted rector. They sent him to the 
 balmy, soothing regions of the South ; to the bracing air and 
 the healing waters of our own Virginia mountains. But he 
 bore in his body the marks of the Lord Jesus. December 6, 
 1883, after one and a half years of sickness, he commended 
 his spirit to the Father who gave it 
 
54 HisTOET Heweico Pahish, 
 
 He rests withm the morning shadows of this dear old 
 shrine, whose truest interests he loved better than life. A 
 tablet to his memory rests upon the wall to the east 6f the 
 chancel, where the loving eyes of his former people may rest 
 upon it. His monument, erected by this congregation, at a 
 cost of $456, records his life story in the graphic, telling 
 words of one of his most intimate lay friends : 
 
 " Large hearted. 
 
 Large minded : 
 
 Devoted to God. 
 A lover of the truth and of manhood : 
 Bold, untiring, faithful, in the service of the Master : 
 Tender, watchful and unceasing in the care of his flock ; 
 His people loved and revered him." 
 
 The Eev. F. M. Burch resigned the assistantship, to take 
 effect February 1, 1884. But at the request of the Vestry he 
 continued his services as minister in charge until April 1, 
 1884. The vestry, in parting with him, commended him as 
 a faithful, earnest and loving worker, who, under the most 
 difficult circumstances of having to take charge of a congrega- 
 tion without being its rector, labored in and out of season. 
 
HISTORY 
 
 ST. JOHN'S Church, 
 
 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, 
 
 From 1S84 to 1904. 
 
 By J. STAUNTON MOORE. 
 
 AUTHORIZED BY THE VESTRY. 
 
INTRODUCTION. 
 
 A history of Henrico Parish, and particularly of old St. 
 John's Church, has been a long-felt want, embracing, as it 
 does statistical information, historic facts and Church data 
 that are obtainable from no other source than its old records. 
 Convinced of the importance of such an undertaking and im- 
 pressed with this public need, the Vestry of St. John's 
 Church, on the 4th day of February, 1902, on motion of 
 Mr. Gr. G. Minor, adopted the following resolution unani- 
 mously, That a committee be appointed, to be known as 
 the Committee on St. John's History, whose duty it shall 
 be to gather from time to time material looking to the pub- 
 lication of a history of St. John's Protestant Episcopal 
 Church. Members are as follows: J. S. Moore, Chairman; 
 Cyrus Bossieux, Senior Warden; John P. Mayer, Junior 
 Warden; P. E. Carrington, W. W. Davies. The commit- 
 tee met and delegated the compilation of the work and the 
 writing of the history to its Chairman, Mr. J. S. Moore. 
 
 Many of the records of St. John's have been lost or de- 
 stroyed, and some of those in possession of the Church are 
 fragmentary and imperfectly kept; hence this compendium 
 is necessarily incomplete and contains errors and important 
 omissions. The records since 1860 are fairly well kept, and 
 are in good condition. 
 
 During the period of the administration of Kev. William 
 H. Hart (the exact date does not appear), the congregation 
 was composed chiefly of "Heads of Families," and the mem- 
 bers of the same, very few of whom were communicants. A 
 list is given showing "Heads of Families" 63, members 204, 
 of whom only 42 were communicants. 
 
 In 1840 Mr. Hart gives the list of communicants as only 
 41 in number. At another period he gives the list of com- 
 municants as only 21, including the minister and his wife, 
 
58 HJSTOEY Heneico Paeish, 
 
 and six of these belonged to the Adams family. The Church 
 at this time was at a very low ehb. 
 
 During the Eev. J. H. Morrison's incumbency, it appears 
 that the congregation was composed of "pew holders." A 
 list given by him in 1845 shows 45 by name, but it does not 
 state how many of these were communicants. 
 
 Et. Eev. Lewis William Burton, when rector of St. John's, 
 commenced the annals of the Parish and Church, and at the 
 earnest solicitation of the Vestry, he kindly completed his 
 labor of love after he became Bishop of the Diocese of Lex- 
 ington, Ky. His annals of Henrico Parish are embraced in 
 this volume. It was also deemed proper to include in this 
 volume the portraits of all the Bishops of Virginia, the min- 
 isters and assistant ministers of St. John's Church, the por- 
 traits of Col. Wm. Byrd, Jr., who donated the grounds upon 
 which the old Church stands; the site was then known as 
 "Indian Town Hill" ; of the Eev. Alexander Whitaker (the 
 "apostle"), the first Episcopal' minister of Virginia; of 
 Patrick Henry, whose eloquence served to render the old 
 Church famous ; of the Church itself, with its furniture, etc. 
 A copy of the Old Vestry Book of Henrico Parish, with 
 notes by JjT. E. A. Brock, from 1730 to 1773, with its quaint 
 entries, is also embraced in this volume. 
 
 As lie compiler of this work and as chairman of the Com- 
 mittee on the History of St. John's, I desire to testify to the 
 faithfulness of the individuals of the committee, and to ten- 
 der publicly my thanks for their helpful aid and cordial 
 co-operation. Each has rendered efficient assistance, and 
 without their help in getting together the portraits and other 
 work my task would have been prolonged and difficult. I 
 am under special obligation to Mr. W. W. Davies and Mr. 
 P. E. Carrington for pictures of the Bishops and ministers 
 that were unobtainable through any other source ; and to Mr. 
 Carrington for data, the result of tireless energy and deep 
 research. Captain John F. Mayer has, during the progress 
 of the work, shown that courtesy of manner and obliging 
 disposition that have always characterized his individuality. 
 Captain Cyrus Bossieux has by his prompt attendance at the 
 meetings of the committee lent the encouragement of his 
 presence and counsel. In fact, no chairman could have had 
 
St. John's Ohuech. 59 
 
 more enthusiastic and interested associates than I have been 
 blessed with. It was our sad misfortune to lose by death 
 one of our companions, who was always the first to be present 
 whenever a meeting of the committee was called, and who 
 was deeply interested in the department he was so well quali- 
 fid to fill — ^the collection of portraits. 
 
 In the midst of our labors, in December, 1903, our asso- 
 ciate, Mr. William Williams Davies, was called to his eternal 
 rest. The deaths in this family within a period of two 
 months have been peculiarly touching and distressing. About 
 the middle of November last his eldest daughter was stricken 
 and died ; she was the light of his life, the apple of his eye, the 
 pride of his soul. Mr. Davies, though a man of strong will 
 power, was physically weak and never recovered from this 
 blow. He was completely crushed. Soon after her death 
 he gave up, and had a premonition of his own approaching 
 end ; but he never lost interest in the work of the committee 
 as long as he drew breath, and his love for the Church never 
 waned. One of the last acts of his life was to donate by will 
 a "Davies Memorial," to cost $1,500. To this munificent be- 
 quest Mrs. Davies has added the further sum of $500, making 
 ^e total "Davies Memorial" $2,000. Mrs. Davies has also 
 presented St. John's Sunday school with a splendid organ. 
 Two days before his death the writer sat at his bedside and 
 held in his grasp his feeble hand as he talked about the work 
 upon which we were engaged, evincing to the last the keenest 
 intere,st. A few days after Mr. D'avies' death his other 
 daughter and the last of his children succumbed also to the 
 grim tyrant, leaving his widow entirely alone. 
 
 Mr. Davies was entirely conscious of his condition. "No 
 fear of the future seemed to disturb his mind ; having lived a 
 godly life, he died the death of the righteous. He exhibited 
 in his last moments that courtesy and consideration for 
 others that characterized him in his daily life, and a chivalric 
 feeling, a sympathetic thought, worthy of a Chevalier Bay- 
 ard or a Sir Philip Sidney. A few moments before he drew 
 his last breath he turned to his wife at his bedside and said, 
 quietly and calmly, at the same time lovingly patting her 
 hand: "Little Marie, go out for a little while, I don't wish 
 yom to see the last struggle" ; but his wife, with true devotion 
 
60 HisTOET Hbiteico Paeish, 
 
 and nobility of womanhood, replied: "Willie, for seventeen 
 years I have been to you a faithful wife, and I will not de- 
 sert you now !" Thus passed away one of the most kindly 
 and courteous of gentlemen. Let us trust 
 
 " His day is come, not gone ; 
 His sun is risen, not set ; 
 His life is now beyond 
 The reach of death or change — 
 Not ended, but begun." 
 
 I think it but proper I should pay this tribute to one asso- 
 ciated with us in this work, and who was so deeply interested 
 in its success. 
 
 The committee is greatly indebted to Dr. R. A. Brock, the 
 distinguished historian and antiquarian, for placing at its 
 disposal inscriptions from tombstones and monuments of St. 
 John's Church-yard, taken soon after the late civil war. 
 Many of these tombstones have since been destroyed by the 
 elements and the disintegration of time; and but for Dr. 
 Brock it would have been impossible to have secured them. 
 Dr. Brock not only placed his copies of these inscriptions at 
 our disposal, but has kindly added brief annotations to many 
 of them that make them interesting and instructive. 
 
 Our beloved Bishop, K. A. Gibson, has also added to the in- 
 terest of this volume by his entertaining sketches ; as has our 
 beloved rector, E. A. Goodwin, in contributing sketches of 
 some of the Bishops of Virginia. We are also under many 
 obligations to Mr. W. G. Stanard, of the "Virginia Historical 
 Society, for brief biographical sketches of the same character. 
 We are also greatly indebted to Mr. D. 0. Eichardson for per- 
 mitting us to take from his notes of Henrico County Court 
 Records, the list of marriages of Henrico Parish from 1682 
 to 1Y65. This list of marriages was copied by Mr. P. E. 
 Carrington. I should also be remiss in my duty if I did not 
 acknowledge the helpful services of my wife and my daughter, 
 Mrs. Alice Moore Franklin, who have rendered material aid 
 in the verification of this work — the only aid in this line that 
 I have had during the tedious task. We are also indebted to 
 Miss Stella Williams, Miss F. P. Gretter and Miss Pearl 
 Bodeker, for pictures and portraits. 
 
St. John's Ohueoh. 61 
 
 Every effort has been made, but without success, to obtain 
 the picture of Kev. David Griffith, the first Bishop-elect of 
 Virginia. We have also been unable to obtain a picture of 
 the Eev. Wm. Stith, the distinguished Virginia historian and 
 the first rector of St. John's Church. The only thing we 
 have been enabled to secure is the coat of arms and the auto- 
 graph of Mr. Stith. 
 
 This volume contains the names of two thousand communi- 
 cants, all of whom were connected with St. John's since 1860. 
 This does not include the special lists of "pew holders," 
 "heads of families," etc., prior to 1860. Of these two thou- 
 sand souls, 559 are males and 1,441 females, showing that the 
 women still maintain their reputation for zeal, piety and de- 
 votion; they were in the days of old first at the sepulchre 
 and the last at Calvary, and to their fidelity and faithfulness 
 are due, in a great measure, the growth and usefulness of old 
 St. John's. 
 
 The number of marriages given is 7Y9, of which 340 are 
 since 1860. In this number are not included the marriages 
 from the records of Henrico county. 
 
 The number of ba;ptisms, 1,922, of which 1,308 are since 
 1860. 
 
 The number of burials, 1,835, of which 1,103 are since 
 1860. 
 
 The number of confirmations during the administrations 
 of Dr. Weddell, Kev. L. W. Burton, and Kev. K. A. Goodwin 
 is 925 ; the records previous to this date are fragmentary and 
 incomplete. 
 
 This entire work has been a labor of love without any re- 
 muneration or reward — other than the pleasure derived from 
 duty performed by all engaged and enlisted in the enterprise. 
 
 If what we have collected and put in shape for the present 
 and future generations shall prove of interest and use, we 
 shall have accomplished our object and gained our reward.

HISTORY OF ST. JOHN'S CHURCH 
 
 From 1884 to 1904. 
 
 BY J. STAUITTON MOOEE. 
 
 As chairman of the Committee on the History of St. John's 
 Church, it falls upon the writer not only to compile and 
 gather together the fragments of its history, but to give a 
 brief epitome or outline of the Old Church since 1884, at 
 which period the interesting Annals of Henrico Parish, by 
 the Kt. Eev. Lewis William Burton, end. Mr. Burton, in ad- 
 dition to his history of Henrico Parish, which he undertook 
 while rector of St. John's Church, and completed after he 
 became Bishop of the Diocese of Lexington, Ky., embracing 
 as it does statistical information, historic research, and eccle- 
 siastical data, the preservation of which for future use and 
 reference becomes more valuable and precious as time goes 
 apace, wrote also the Annals of St. John's Church during his 
 incumbency. These annals show the growth of the Old 
 Church in spiritual grace, and its material prosperity. These 
 details are of inestimable interest and value to the communi- 
 cants of the Church, during his administration. They con- 
 tain accuracy of detail and incidents, and are written with 
 that facility of pen and fecundity of thought characteristic 
 of the man, and are striking evidences of his affection and a 
 beautiful testimonial of his love for his old parishioners. 
 But the committee, whilst not only appreciating the narra- 
 tive but also reciprocating the generous sentiment and devo- 
 tion that inspired it, does not deem the Annals of St. John's 
 Church of sufficient importance or interest to the public at 
 large to justify its publication in this volume. The com- 
 mittee, however, does recommend its publication in full in a 
 separate volume in the future for distribution to the com- 
 
St. John's Chueoh. 63 
 
 nranicants of St. Jolin's Churcli, each one of whom should 
 cherish it as a souvenir and a testimonial of love; and 
 would value it as a tie of communion between them and their 
 late beloved rector. Mr. Burton states in his St. John's 
 Annals : "They are not intended for publication, but only as 
 a supply of material from which the future historian is to 
 extract his facts." And whilst the writer has his doubts as to 
 whether this sketch is entitled to the dignity of history, and 
 questions his ability to appear in the role of historian, he will 
 avail himself of the "supply of material" thus placed at his 
 disposal by his beloved rector, gleaning and garnering sucH 
 facts as time and space will permit, and as he thinks may 
 best interest the public at large. In some instances the facts 
 will be stated in the writer's own way ; in other instances he 
 will use not only the ideas, but the language of Mx. Burton, 
 conceding that if there be any merit in his performance Mr. 
 Burton is justly entitled to the credit. The difference be- 
 tween the Annals of Henrico Parish and the Annals of St. 
 John's Church is this — one is the tender outpouring and evi- 
 dence of the kindly love and interest of our beloved rector, 
 showing his personal relations, his affection, his person- 
 ality, his untiring zeal and his work among us, evi- 
 denced in facts, figures and personal incidents that make 
 them peculiarly charming and dear to those under his charge 
 during the period in the recital, with which the public has but 
 slight interest ; the other is a matter of more general import- 
 ance, covering, as it does, the most romantic and interesting 
 period in the history of Virginia. The writer was a fre- 
 quent attendant at the services of St. John's under the rec- 
 torship of the late lamented Alexander "W. Weddell, but in 
 those days his religious opinions and convictions had not 
 crystallized into faith sufficiently strong to justify his be- 
 coming a communicant. He had the pleasure of Dr. "Wed- 
 dell's acquaintance and enjoyed his friendship as a man and 
 brother Mason for several years before his death, and dis- 
 cussed with him freely in a friendly and social way many 
 doubts that beset and perplexed him on religious matters. 
 Dr. Weddell preached at him many sermons that came from 
 the heart of this good and faithful minister, but it was not 
 until Mr. Moody's first visit to Kichmond, and under his 
 
64 HiSTOEY Heneico Paeish, 
 
 benign influence, plain and practical teachings, that the 
 writer,- coupled with Dr. Weddell's kindly ministratibn, - 
 induced was to cast all his burdens on our Saviour's shoul- 
 ders, and to bury his doubts in the bosom of His love. 
 
 Dr^ Weddell impressed the writer as being liberal, broad- 
 minded, free from cant and hypocrisy. Plain, simple and 
 unaffected, devoid of slang and free from technical terms. ' 
 He formed his opinions not in the academic schools, but from 
 practical experience — from actual contact with men. His ' 
 horizon of thought was bounded by no narrow limits; he' 
 thoroughly understood human nature. He did not look down,' 
 upon humanity from an exalted pedestal. He ^ok man-, 
 kind as he found it, not as he thought it should be. He had ■ 
 familiarized himself with man's nature "in the tei;ted field" ' 
 as a Confederate soldier; he knew its capacities, its aspira- 
 tions, its fallibilities. He exercised patience; temperance 
 and moderation in treating its limitations. He was never 
 pessimistic in his religious views or dogmatic in ' his . dis- 
 courses or self-conceited in his opinions. A beautiful opti-, 
 mism pervaded his thoughts and breathed in his' utterances.' 
 A wonderful patience and submission during his lingering 
 illness pervaded his conversation, and governed his actions. ■ 
 Many a time has the writer on his way tq his home taken/ 
 him "up the hill" in his buggy, when scarcely. able to walk,/ 
 yet still trying to perform his appointed duties. Nature 
 cast him in an heroic mould,' not oiily physically, but en-"

 liad so faithfully served and loved so well, but over the entire 
 commimity ; yet we are consoled with the reflection that — 
 
 " They never quite leave us, the friends who have passed, 
 Through the shadows of death to the sunlight above ; 
 A thousand sweet memories are holding them f ast^ 
 
 To the places they blessed with their presence and love." 
 
 The restoration — aye, it may be truthfully said the resur- 
 rection — of St. John's Church is due to the strenuous efforts 
 and consecrated labors of Dr. Weddell. When he took 
 charge in 1876 there were but 118 communicants. By his 
 earnest zeal, his affability, his sincere piety, he increased the 
 number the first year to 221, the membership continuing to 
 increase yearly until he rested from his labors, adding during 
 the eight years of his ministerial work 506 communicants,, 
 and presenting for confirmation 243 — the largest increase, up 
 to that time, in the annals of the Church since its foundation. 
 But St. John's Church for the past forty years has been pecu- 
 liarly a Church of transition. The constant change of the per- 
 sonnel of the congregation has been remarkable, and probably 
 unparalleled in Church history. The tendency io "inove u]^ 
 town" by the residents of the Old Hill as the city grows west- 
 ward has been going on from year to year', thus causing a 
 shifting membership — ^here to-day, gone to-morrOwf The 
 tale is told "in mournful numbers" as the words "removed'^ 
 or "transferred" appear opposite the names on the communi- 
 cant list. 
 
 When the Rev. Lewis William Burton (itn^er whose recf- 
 torship the writer became a communicant of ^i John's^ 
 succeeded to the rectorship in 1884, there only remained 278? 
 communicants as the result of the indef atigaMes wort of th# 
 lamented Weddell. Mr. Burton was called from Sfe Mark'^; 
 Cleveland, Ohio. He took up the work with that' energy and 
 devotion characteristic of the man. Irt additiftii trf a find 
 presence and intellectual physique, he possessed' in a remark- 
 able degree those personal qualities of mind! and manner thai 
 at once favorably impressed all who met him. In ^e primd

 sion of what was best to say and do under all circumstances ; 
 courteous, kindly, sympathetic, but not familiar, he at once 
 won the hearts of his congregation. His enunciation clear, 
 his language chaste, his utterances distinct — a master of elo- 
 cution — he was happy in communicating his ideas. His 
 preaching, non-Calvinistic, yet thoroiighly orthodox, was of 
 an inspiring, hopeful, trustful, helpful nature, tha't soon 
 filled every seat in Old St. John's, and held his audience with 
 breathless attention. Under his teaching he inspired all who 
 heard him with faith, hope and trust ; those who doubted had 
 their doubts removed, those who believed were strengthened 
 in their faith. Mr. Burton, during his pastorate of nine 
 years, added to the communicants of St. John's 563, present- 
 ing for confirmation 337, but the same change of domicile, the 
 same tendency to move westward, was going on, and when the 
 Rev. E. A. Goodwin, our present rector, succeeded the beloved 
 Burton, the number of communicants was only 442. Mr. 
 Goodwin during the ten years he has been rector, by his faith- 
 ful ministration and devotion to duty, has added 521 com- 
 municants, presenting for confirmation 345 persons. 
 
 3j comparing the work of these efiicient ministers, it will 
 be seen that (in round numbers) Dr. Weddell added 48 com- 
 municants and presenting for confirmation on an average 
 30 persons annually. Mr, Burton averages 63 communi- 
 cants and 37 confirmations during the nine years of his 
 rectorship. Mr. Goodwin has in the ten years he has been 
 with us averaged 52 commimicants and 34 confirmations. 
 During Dr. Weddell's administration, including the num- 
 ber of communicants then on the Church roll, there were 
 506; Mr. Burton added 563 and Mr. Goodwin 521, mak- 
 ing 1,590 persons, and yet to-day, owing to reasons already 
 assigned, we have but 565 on the roll. It will thus be seen 
 that Dr. Weddell planted, like Paul of old, and that Mr. 
 Burton and Mr. Goodwin watered and God gave the increase, 
 and we rejoice in the fact that Old St. John's, that has 
 experienced so many mutations and has known so many 
 vicissitiides of fortune, fire and war, time and change, storm 
 and tempest, has Phoenix-like survived them all and stands 
 to-day clothed in her chaste and comely garment of spotless 
 white, amidst her green setting, old in years and yet young 
 
St. John's Chubch. 67 
 
 and vigorous in good works ! St John's, the Mother Church 
 of the Parish, and the Mother of Missions, has again and 
 again heen bereft of her children. At periods of her his- 
 tory it is true her doors have been closed, no voice was heard 
 from her pulpit, no songs or chants echoed within her silent 
 and hallowed precincts. Her walls have reverberated to the 
 mad shouts of a brutal foe, who laid his sacrilegious hand 
 upon her sacred altar. Twice has her tower been dismantled 
 by storm and tempest, but she has not been left desolate nor 
 comfortless nor forsaken. The places of those who have 
 passed away or moved to other sections of our city have been 
 supplied by others, and we rejoice in the fact that to-day she 
 is stronger spiritually and materially than at any period in 
 her history. She is still the shrine at which worshippers as- 
 semble to pay that homage to E'eity that is essential to civili- 
 zation, good morals and just government. She is still the 
 Mecca to which pilgrims travelling from afar turn to draw 
 fresh inspiration, and the spot where patriotism delights to 
 point as the place where the fires of liberty were lighted. 
 The fact that this old Church has survived so many disasters 
 and mutations is the best evidence that she has been under 
 God's special care. The fire upon the altar at times burned 
 low, and the glory above the mercy seat had almost departed, 
 but His Shechinah still dwelt among His people. In her 
 old age she has been thrice blessed ; the three ministers who 
 have for the last quarter of a century presided over her des- 
 tinies have so endeared themselves to the people of old St. 
 John's that in their hearts they are known as Weddell, the 
 lamented; Burton, the beloved; and Goodwin, the faithful. 
 The individuality of these three faithful ministers has been 
 such as to warrant at least in the heart of the writer the above 
 appellations — not that either would be the less lamented had 
 he been taken from us as Dr. Weddell was, nor that they 
 were not all beloved and all equally faithful in the perform- 
 ance of their duties, but each possessed sui generis, certain 
 qualities of mind and manner, that can only be distinguished 
 by some affectionate cognomen ; for we are told : "There is 
 one glory of the surt, and another glory of the moon, and an- 
 other glory of the stars : for one star dif!ereth from another 
 star in glory." 
 
68 History Heneico Pabish, 
 
 The Rev. Lewis William Burton was called to the rector- 
 ship of St. John's January 28, 1884, and preached his first 
 sermon on Easter Sunday, April 13, 1884. On assuming 
 charge of St. John's, Mr. Burton, like the general of an army, 
 took his survey of the field of his future operations and laid 
 off his plan of campaign. The problems confronting him 
 were not only those already adverted to, the tendency of the 
 population westward, hut he found his territorial responsi- 
 bility embraced (1) Church Hill; (2) the southernmost por- 
 tion of Shockoe Valley (say from the river to Broad street, 
 and from Fifteenth street eastward to the foot of Church 
 Hill, and along Main street to Twenty-eighth street) ; and 
 (3) the parts known as Rocketts and Fulton. These three 
 neighborhoods were so geographically separated that one 
 church building would not suffice them. Those living in the 
 valley were unwilling to climb the hill to attend the old 
 Church. The three neighborhoods were also socially divided. 
 He found a mission established by Dr. Weddell in Shockoe 
 Valley doing good work amongst a class that had no church 
 near them ; but recognizing the need of a mission in the sec- 
 tion known as Rocketts and Fulton, six months after his 
 arrival he established the enterprise known as the Weddell 
 Mission Sunday School. In 1886 this school had grown to 
 141 officers, teachers and scholars. He also gave the name 
 of "Calvary" to the mission established by Dr. Weddell in 
 Shockoe Valley at Nineteenth and Main streets, and which 
 was afterwards transferred and maintained for many years, 
 under the charge of Sergeant B. F. Howard, at the old 
 Mason's Hall on Franklin street between Eighteenth and 
 Nineteenth. 
 
 To assist in these missions the Rev. W. B. Everett, M. D., 
 was made missionary assistant of St. John's in 1885. With 
 Easter, 1885, Mr. Burton instituted a custom which still 
 continues. 
 
 The four Sunday schools (St. John's, Calvary, Weddell 
 and Good Shepherd) were assembled in the Church; the 
 Good Shepherd (colored school) sitting in the gallery. A 
 printed programme would gi^ide the exercises, some apeeial 
 device would characterize the same; a wooden light-house 
 was built with large blocks; flowers were cdimbinedi "wiih 
 
St. JoHir's Chtjsch. 69 
 
 names or designs, etc., texts or catechism were recited, carols 
 sung, addresses delivered; reports were read by the superin- 
 tendents of the different schools. These festivals are much 
 enjoyed by the children and the Church is generally packed 
 On these occasions. In 1885 Mr. Burton organized a junior 
 branch of the Parish Brotherhood. 
 
 When Mr. Burton took charge of St. John's in 1884, he 
 found the church nearly $500 in debt, and at the end of his 
 first year there was also a deficit in current expenses. This 
 unbusiness-like condition confronted him — how to live within 
 the income or how to make the income adequate to the ex- 
 penses. He determined to attempt the latter solution of the 
 problem by adopting the weekly pledge and envelop system. 
 This plan worked so well that beginning with 1887 the Church 
 not only paid its current expenses, but its contingent fund up 
 to and including the year 1893, the last year of his pastorate. 
 Mr. Burton is an admirable financier, and would make a 
 good banker or a successful business man in any line. In 
 1886 the alms basin now in use and formerly belonging to 
 Old Westover Church was bought and presented to St. 
 John's by Edmund A. Saunders and Kichard L. Brown in 
 behalf of their little daughters, Mamie and Bessie, and is so 
 inscribed in large letters punctuated by a cross pattee around 
 the rim. On the base of the plate is the following original 
 inscription, "Ex dono D'nae — Sarah Braine," and a hall 
 mark, indicating its origin — 1694-1695. In the centre of 
 the basin is an ingenious monogram in script letters two and a 
 half inches long, which spells out the name of Sarah Braine. 
 The rim of the basin is in simple repousse work, of what 
 might be called pie crust shape. In June, 1886, the Vestry 
 determined to restore the sound board to its place. It had 
 been taken down years before, and had been lying in the 
 Brick School-House. It was placed in its present position 
 and the pulpit steps were placfed on either side of the panel 
 and pulpit. In order to restore the sound board it was sent 
 to a furniture establishment. In grinding through the suc- 
 cessive layers of graining and through a coat of white paint 
 and gold to the original wood, was found the design of a cir- 
 cle with inlaid nose, eyes and mouth, and with rays (also 
 inlaid) diverging from it, alternately waving and straight. 
 
70 HiSTOBT Hbnbico Pabish, 
 
 This old sound board that drank in the eloquence of Henry, 
 and has heard the voices of so many who have ministered to 
 the congregation assembled in Old St. John's now stands as 
 it did originally. In 1886 Mr. Burton tried the experiment 
 of a cometist in the choir, with such gratifying results that it 
 was continued during his entire incumbency. Under the in- 
 spiration of Mr. Burton's ministrations, the spirit of im- 
 provement took possession of the congregation, and extensive 
 repairs were made both to the exterior and the interior of the 
 old Church. The ceiling and walls were calcimined in 
 colors, with simple ornamentations, the chancel richly deco- 
 rated, the wood and pews revarnished, the chancel platform 
 raised ; the position of the gates in the rail were changed to 
 their present position. The Vestry room was renovated and 
 made comfortable and convenient. New carpets were laid on 
 the floor, and, in fact, so many changes were made that one of 
 the most venerable and respected parishioners said when the 
 changes were contemplated, that "this Colonial Church in 
 colors would look like a highly ornamented bonnet on an old 
 lady's head," but the result was so satisfactory that all agreed, 
 including the person who made the remark, that the change 
 was for the better. At this time Captain John A. Curtis and 
 wife presented a new communion table, and Mr. and Mrs. 
 E. A. Saunders a prayer desk. These improvements cost 
 about $1,000. At a meeting of the Vestry in March, 1887, 
 it was decided that so much of the gallery as lay east of the 
 organ (which was then in the gallery) be set apart for colored 
 people. 
 
 On the 4th of June, 1887, a great sorrow came upon our 
 beloved rector and his wife ; their only child, a beautiful and 
 promising boy, who had been born to them in the rectory 
 June 10, 1885, Lewis James Hendree Burton, was folded in 
 the arms of the Good Shepherd. In their deep distress the 
 rector and his wife had the heartfelt sympathy, not only of 
 the congregation, but of the entire community. On January 
 5, 1888, the Rev. Pike Powers, D. D., was called to become 
 the assistant minister of St. John's, in charge of Weddell 
 Memorial Chapel. One characteristic of St. John's since its 
 revival under the lamented Weddell has been its deep in- 
 terest in missionary work. It is not only the Mother Church 
 of the Parish, but the mother and founder of missions. 
 
St. John's Chuboh, 71 
 
 Weddell Memorial Chapel was completed and open for ser- 
 vices the first time November 20, 1887. Previous to the 
 building of the chapel the mission had been conducted in 
 other buildings. The first communion occurred December 
 18, 1887. The entire cost, not including the land and other 
 things donated, was a little over -$4,000, and in January, 
 1880, the chapel was out of debt; and in the following month 
 of March it was consecrated by the Kt. Eev. F. M. Whittle. 
 One of the lots upon which Weddell was built was donated by 
 the open-handed and liberal hearted P. H. Mayo, Esq. 
 
 In May, 1882, that saintly soul, Mrs. James M. Estes, now 
 gone to her reward, began a mission Sunday school for 
 colored children in a basement room of her residence. The 
 first attendants were four small boys, but the room soon filled, 
 and the school was removed to the Brick School-House in the 
 Church yard. One hundred scholars were soon enrolled. 
 Owing to the sickness of Dr. Weddell the school waned, and 
 after his death it was disbanded. 
 
 In the fall of 1884, under the rectorship of the Eev. L. W. 
 Burton, the school was reorganized under the name of the 
 Good Shepherd, and met in the Brick School-House. In 
 1885 the enrollment was, ofiicers, teachers and scholars, 133, 
 In January, 1887, it had increased to 148. This good work 
 had so grown under Mr. Burton's indefatigable efforts that 
 in January, 1889, fifty applicants had been turned away for 
 lack of teachers and room. 
 
 Realizing the necessity for larger accommodations for mis- 
 sion work among the colored people, upon the suggestion of 
 Mr. Burton to Mr. E. A. Saunders, who was always ready 
 and willing to respond to appeals of this character, a lot on 
 Twenty-eighth street between L and M was cheerfully do- 
 nated by him and his wife, and the chapel on this lot' was 
 given the name of "Good Shepherd." 
 
 The building on this lot was formerly St. James', in St. 
 Peter's Parish, New Kent county, Virginia, which stood 
 on the land of Mrs. Sally D. Dlival. This lady and Mrs. 
 E. T. Drew were the sole surviving members of St. James', 
 and they were about to leave the county. The church was 
 rapidly falling to decay and would go with the land when 
 sold, and Mrs. Duval desired to see the building utilized by 
 
72 -HisTOBT Heneico Paeish, 
 
 ihe Churct wticli had erected it Moreover, it had been built 
 tmder the rectorship of Mrs. Drew's first husband, the Rev. 
 John T. Points, who had died as the rector of St John's. 
 Thus his first and last labors would be brought together. It 
 was thus presented to St. John's Church, and was transferred 
 io the lot upon which it now stands. The removal and trana^ 
 fer of the building cost, not including the furniture, about 
 $900. This building was open for service October 7, 1888. 
 While the building stood in the county of New Kent, some of 
 the pew ends had been appropriated for head boards for the 
 graves of soldiers. When restored to their place in the 
 ifehurch at Eichmond, the epitaphs rudely carved upon them 
 were allowed to remain. It was especially through the 
 interest of Miss Julia C. Emery, General Secretary of the 
 Woman's Auxiliary, who secured in April, 1889, $300 from 
 ihe "Society of the Double Temple" of New York, that the 
 indebtedness involved in erecting this chapel was paid. 
 
 The Chapel of the Good Shepherd was consecrated by the 
 lit. Eev. F. M. Whittle, the Rev. James B. Punsten preach- 
 ing the sermon ; the rector, the assistant minister, Rev. Pike 
 Powers, and the rector's brother-in-law, the Rev. Arthur M. 
 Backus, of the Diocese of Massachusetts, were present. 
 
 Bishop Whittle, in his Council address, 1889, in speaking 
 of churches consecrated, made the following remarks: "In 
 1889, March 31st, Weddell Memorial Chapel, a very pretty 
 and comfortable building in Fulton, a neglected suburb of the 
 city of Richmond. * * * 
 
 "May 5th, Chapel of the Good Shepherd, a very nice and 
 comfortable church for colored people, also belonging to St. 
 John's, Richmond. This chapel is the outgrowth of a Sun- 
 day school commenced by a devoted lady in her kitchen, who 
 lias now the happiness of seeing a flourishing school and the 
 church services regularly conducted in a suitable and sacred 
 building." 
 
 Mr. Burton was never satisfied unless he was continually 
 progressing. The establishment of two missions in a field 
 where none before had existed would have satisfied an ordi- 
 nary mind, but his active brain and zealous heart and conse- 
 crated life, whose motto was "Onward, Christian Soldier," 
 Were not content unless he was eontinually advancing the 
 banner of the Cross. 
 
St. John's Chueoh. 73 
 
 Under a strong appeal preached December 18, 1887, from 
 the text (Mark 13: 34), "To every man his work," die 
 various voluntary organizations of the Church were banded 
 and united together in a St. John's Union. Its motto was, 
 "Laborers together with God" ; its principle, "To every man 
 his work." At the annual meetings the various organizations 
 composing the Union submitted their reports for the year. 
 Included within the Union were the choir and the Sunday 
 schools as institutions belonging to the spiritual administra- 
 tion of the rector. 
 
 There was a pleasant emulation and an individuality about 
 these organizations that made them vie with each other in 
 showing good results, that added a zest to their labors, and 
 made them work more effectively and efficiently. With all 
 his other work our beloved rector also found time one night in 
 each week to teach a Bible class to aid the teachers in prepa- 
 rations for their instruction. 
 
 With his own hand he prepared and had printed service 
 leaflets containing selections from the Book of Common 
 Prayer and from the Hymnal for the use of the Sunday 
 schools. Under his administration not only were the home 
 schools self-supporting, but, in addition, missionary scholar- 
 ships were sustained as follows : The Eliza Carrington Schol- 
 arship, the Solomon Memorial Scholarship, apd St. John's 
 Sunday school also united with those of the Diocese in the 
 support of diocesan missions during Lent. The organizations 
 combined in the Church Union at the latter's organization 
 were: 
 
 The Brotherhood, devoted to parochial, benevolent and mis- 
 sionary work. 
 
 The Sisterhood, devoted to parochial, benevolent and gen- 
 eral missionary work. 
 
 The Guild, devoted to parochial, charitable work, particu- 
 larly the clotiiing of destitute Sunday school children. 
 
 The Little Gleaners, devoted especially to missionary work 
 in all departments, and incidentally to ministering to the 
 needy in the parish. 
 
 The Knights of Temperance, devoted to sobriety among 
 young men and boys. Of the five organizations above men- 
 tioned, all except the Knights of Temperance had been started 
 
74 / HiSTOET Heneico Paeish, 
 
 tmder Dr. Weddell's ministry. When it is remembered that 
 most of these organizations met weekly, and that the rector 
 was frequently present at their meetings, some idea may be 
 formed of his busy life and the great tax upon his time and 
 energy. 
 
 Kot satisfied with these various societies, another organiza- 
 tion, called the Junior Aid Society, was instituted in 1890, 
 under the auspices of the rector's charming and devoted wife. 
 This society was composed of young ladies who stood between 
 the Little Gleaners and the Guild, and, in addition to the pa- 
 rochial work, supported by their industry a scholarship at 
 Cape Mount, Africa, and also assumed the rent of an aged 
 and faithful, but indigent member of the congregation. 
 
 Again, in 1901, did our rector show his zeal in good works 
 by establishing the St. John's Chapter of St Andrew's 
 Brotherhood. 
 
 Still another organization came into existence in 1893, 
 entitled St. John's Missionary Association. 
 
 In addition to these various organizations of the Mother 
 Church, the missions also had their appropriate societies, at 
 which the rector was sometimes present, he being ex-officio 
 chairman of all of these organizations. 
 
 In addition to the above societies, there were Committees 
 on the Sick, a Committee on Burials, a Committee on Church 
 Decency and Order, and a Committee on Strangers and Ab- 
 sentees, and a Charitable Committee, which was the first 
 formed, and one of the most important ; the objects and aims 
 of these various committees are indicated by their respective 
 names. 
 
 It would not do to fail to mention in connection with these 
 Church committees the "Committee on Entertainments," of 
 which Mrs. R. L. Brown was chairman, a position for which 
 she was exceptionally fit; by these entertainments consider- 
 able sums of money were raised for paying church debts and 
 making improvements and for charitable and pious work. The 
 character of the entertainments was always simple, refined, 
 elevating and instructive, and promoted good fellowship and 
 friendly intercourse amongst the congregation, and enabled 
 many persons who were not pecuniarily able to contribute to 
 the support of the Church to utilize their time and services 
 in her behalf. 
 
St. John's Chuech. 75 
 
 Besides the entertainments, where cream and cake and 
 oysters and coffee in season were sold at moderate prices^ 
 there were birthday offerings, excursions, lectures, etc. 
 
 Through these instrumentalities the hungry were fed, the 
 naked clothed, and the poor had the Gospel preached to them. 
 As an evidence of the appreciation the Vestry had for these 
 entertainments, the following preamble and resolutions were 
 unanimously adopted on the 4th day of October, 1890 : 
 
 Whereas the Committee on Sociability and Entertainments 
 of St. John's Church Union, together with the other members 
 of the Church and friends outside, have within the last two 
 years, by two large entertainments, requiring most skilful 
 management and indefatigable labor, contributed upwards of 
 $2,000 for the payment of debts and improvement of build- 
 ings ; therefore be it 
 
 1. Kesolved, That we, the Vestry of St. John's, do cor- 
 dially acknowledge the peculiar ability of the committee in 
 making a success of church entertainments, and do most 
 heartily thank them and all their co-laborers for their great 
 and kindly help. 
 
 2. Kesolved, That the rector be requested to read this, our 
 action, to the Church Union at its next meeting ; and that the 
 Eegister of the Vestry be also requested to spread the same 
 on the minutes of the.Vestry. 
 
 In these entertainments objectionable features were es- 
 chewed and they were not only exceedingly popular with our 
 congregation, but deservedly so with the community at large. 
 In these amusements the wife of the rector was the soul and 
 the spirit. By her charming manner and pleasant address 
 she was indeed a help-meet and an inspiration not only to her 
 husband, but to the congregation. It would seem almost im- 
 possible for one man to attend to all the above enumerated 
 functions, preach three times a week, visit the sick, and at- 
 tend to all parochial duties, and yet Mr. Burton did all this, 
 and in addition served on the Executive Committee of the 
 American Church Missionary Society, and was a representa- 
 tive of the Church Temperance Society of the Diocese of Vir- 
 ginia, and was Vice-President of the Richmond Protestant 
 Episcopal Missionary Society, as well as a member of the 
 Executive Committee of the Diocesan Missionary Society; 
 
76 HisTOBT Heneioo Paeish, 
 
 a member of the Standing Committee of the Council on 
 Church Property, and examining chaplain of the Diocese. 
 With all these multifarious duties and responsibilities, is it 
 any -wonder our beloved rector's hair became prematurely 
 gray? 
 
 " But not with years, 
 
 Nor grew it white, 
 
 In a single night," 
 
 but gradually as his cares and labors increased, until it is as 
 white as the driven snow, but his face is still young, his step 
 elastic, and his eye as bright as of yore. 
 
 The Vestry purchased the present rectory, then in the oc- 
 cupancy of Mr. Burton, in April, 1888, at a cost of $3,100; 
 it was fitted up in a convenient and attractive manner for the 
 use of the rector and his wife, at an additional cost of about 
 $1,600. 
 
 The old parsonage on Twentieth street was sold the same 
 year for $3,250, therefore there was nearly an exchange in 
 money value. 
 
 In May, 1887, the Vestry gave to Mr. E. L. Brown and the 
 rector permission to occupy, each of them, one of the window 
 frames on either side of the chancel and within it with a 
 stained glass memorial window. The one on the right was 
 erected to the little boy of the rector, Lewis James Hendree; 
 the one on the left was erected to the two little children of 
 Mr. R. L. Brown. In November of the same year (1888) the 
 memorial window to the late Allen Y. Stokes was placed. Mr. 
 Stokes was for many years a communicant and Vestryman of 
 St. John's. 
 
 Owing to the weakness of the tower and the supposed effect 
 upon the tunefulness of the organ, which was at that time 
 situated in the gallery, the bell was tolled and not rung with 
 but one exception during the entire rectorship of Mr. Burton. 
 The organ was moved to the main floor of the church under 
 Mr. Goodwin's administration, and since that time its joyous 
 peals and clear notes ring forth to gladden the hearts of the 
 community. 
 
 The old bell that formerly hung upon St. John's and known 
 as the "Henry Bell," was for many years in use in the town 
 
St. John^s Chuech. 77 
 
 of Martinsville, Va., and called the children to the public 
 schools. It was donated by the town to the Virginia His- 
 torical Society, of this city, and is now in their possession. 
 This famous bell called together the Virginia Convention of 
 March, 1775, and beneath it Patrick Henry made his liberty 
 speech. 
 
 On June 5, 1888, it was ordered by the Vestry that the 
 approach to the communion rail and kneeling at it by the 
 communicants should be made easier and more dignified by 
 removing one of the front pews of the transept rows that flank 
 the chancel on either side, and by replacing it by an upright 
 panel. At this time the arrangement, which still continues, 
 was made as to the manner in which the communicants 
 should come to the Lord's Table and retire from it. Those 
 first to commune were to come from the western aisle and 
 remain till all then kneeling had communicated; and while 
 they were retiring those from the eastern aisle could come 
 without collision. 
 
 During the year of 1891 a valuable addition was made to 
 the communion vessels by the bequest of $100 by Miss Nan- 
 nie M. Sheilds, a faithful and lamented parishioner. Through 
 her sister, Miss Cornelia K. Sheilds, was purchased a solid 
 silver chalice and paten, which formerly belonged to an old 
 James River Parish. The chalice is of unusual size^ ten and 
 three-eighths inches high, its cup four and a half inches deep. 
 The old" chalice to which it became a companion is seven and 
 six-eighths inches in height, with a cup three and six-eighths 
 inches in depth. The paten is seven inches in depth.. Both 
 are engraved with a desifin somewhat similar to that dis- 
 covered in repairing the sound board — alternate straight and 
 curved rays. In the centre of the design upon these silver 
 cups is the monogram I. H. S., superimposed upon what 
 seems to be an Archbishop's crozier. The hall mark indi- 
 cated them to be upwards of a century old. In 1892 venti' 
 lators were introduced in the ceiling. In the same year Mr. 
 li. Stern presented the Church with a handsome clock, and 
 Mr. Peyton R, Carrington, with his wife, Mrs. Sarah J. 
 Carrin^on, presented the Church with two handsome hymn 
 tablets, which were placed upon the south wall in the centre 
 panel on either side of the chancel. On the 29th of Feb- 
 
78 HisTOEY Heneico Pabish, 
 
 ruary, 1892, under the auspices of the Committee on Church 
 Decency and Order, a brass font ewer was purchased. An 
 overhanging sycamore tree had been largely responsible for 
 rotting the shingles of the Church roof. Permission was 
 obtained from the city authorities to cut it down. It was a 
 sad though necessary sacriiice to make to the far more impor- 
 tant welfare of the Church building. It was one of the most 
 beautiful, largest and oldest trees in the Church yard. It 
 stood close to the northeast corner of the Church. Its branches 
 hung over the portion in which Patrick Henry spoke. It 
 was certainly a good sized tree in his day. It was older than 
 any portion of the Church. If its leaves could have heard, 
 its heart remembered and its branches whispered to us of the 
 burning words it heard that day, and of the knots of patriots 
 that gathered under its shadow at that time to discuss with 
 bated breath the questions of that eventful period ! Its trunk 
 averaged four feet in diameter ; its age was estimated at 170 
 years. Grasped in its gnarled roots was a skull, face down- 
 ward, which certain Hamlets standing around declared to be 
 an Indian's, and perhaps apostrophized, as the Prince of Den- 
 mark did poor Yorick's. 
 
 Sentiment, feeling, appealed in vain to the woodmen to 
 spare that tree. The wood from this tree was preserved for 
 souvenirs. It was made into canes and crosses and sold to 
 the thousands of tourists who visited the old Church, and 
 nearly $200 was realized from these sales. Some idea may 
 be formed of the number of visitors when it is stated by the 
 keeper that from 1888 to 1891 there were 11,924 visiting the 
 old Church. The wear and tear upon the carpet of the 
 Church was considerable; one eager souvenir collector was 
 detected tearing off a scrap of the cushion in "Patrick 
 Henry's pew." Finally an alms box for the benefit of the 
 missions of St. John's was conspicuously placed in the pew 
 during week days. It was observed by the sexton that itin- 
 erant patriots and prying antiquarians were noticeably less 
 eager to be able to say that they had stood where Henry stood, 
 and indeed often gave but a passing glance to this sacred 
 spot, when the shrewd cicerone, in pointing it out, directed 
 his finger at the alms box. In 1889 the city lowered the 
 grade of Twenty-fourth street, involving the removal of be- 
 
St. John's Chfeoh. 79 
 
 tween six and eight feet in the middle of the square between 
 Broad and Grace streets, building a new brick wall on that 
 side, surmounted with a tasteful iron railing. The yard was 
 graded down to it. This closed the entrance to the Church 
 yard, which had been its west side. The steps and gate were 
 removed to Grace street near the corner of Twenty-fourth, 
 so as to be convenient for access to the brick chapel, and so as 
 to afford to those coming from the southwest a more direct 
 approach to the Church. Afterwards the wall on Broad 
 street was lowered and improved in the same way, affording 
 a better view of the Church from the street. The northern 
 half of the burying ground belongs to the city ; the southern 
 half to the congregation. The control of the whole is vested 
 in the city. The buildings, except the keeper's lodge, are 
 under the exclusive jurisdiction of the congregation. The 
 City Council annually appoints a Committee on St. John's 
 Burying Ground, and appropriates regularly a sum for the 
 keeper's salary and another for the maintenance of the 
 grounds. In 1889 the Brick School-House was put in thor- 
 ough repair and was used during Mr. Burton's rectorship as 
 now for the Primary Sunday School, for the meetings of the 
 Vestry and some of the societies, committee meetings, etc. 
 
 In 1892 the frame school building was repaired and en- 
 larged to its present dimensions at a cost of about $1,000. 
 
 We now again take up the story of the missions. The Rev. 
 W. B. Everett, M. D., served as assistant minister from Feb- 
 ruary 18, 1885, to March 19, 1886 ; the Eev. Pike Powers, 
 D. D., from January 5, 1888, to -June 30, 1890 ; the Rev. 
 0. R. Kuyk, from October 6, 1891, to June 15, 1893 ; the 
 Eev. J. H. Burkhead, from May 7, 1895, to June 1, 1897 ; the 
 Eev. E. B. Snead, from February 1, 1900, to June 15, 1903. 
 In 1891 the Sunday school at Weddell had increased to 
 200 scholars. Nine years after Calvary Mission was started, 
 Sergeant B. F. Howard, superintendent, reported 183 chil- 
 dren as having joined St. John's Sunday school during this 
 period, and sixty-three from its neighborhood as having iinited 
 with St, John's. The conditions that called for the establish- 
 ment of Calvary Mission having ceased to exist, this mission 
 was discontinued in 1902. At the time this enterprise was 
 started by Dr. Weddell there was no mission or church in 
 
80 HisTOBY Heneico Pabibh, 
 
 that immediate vicinity. Some years ago the Presbyterians 
 built at the comer of Nineteenth and Franklin the beautiful 
 little brick church known as the Hoge Memorial. More re- 
 cently the Methodist Church established a mission in the old 
 building, formerly known as the Union Hotel, at the corner 
 of Nineteenth and Main streets. These two enterprises filled 
 the place and supplied the needs of the people in this neigh- 
 borhood so that Calvary Misson was no longer necessary. 
 
 Not only did St. John's prosper in a material sense under 
 the admirable and efficient rectorship of Mr. Burton, but two 
 especial seasons of spiritual revival in St. John's congrega- 
 tion were vouchsafed us by God's Holy Spirit. A series of 
 meetings in conjunction with the Kev. John B. Newton, rec- 
 tor of Monumental Churchj were held by the rector in 188Y ; 
 these meetings were held nightly, and were attended by a 
 large and deeply aflPected congregation. Again in 1891, the 
 rector, assisted by Dr. Newton and the Rev. H. M. Jackson, 
 the rector of Grace Church, awakened great interest; many 
 souls were gathered into the fold as a result of these two 
 especial revivals. In January, 1893, the hour of service wag 
 changed from 8 o'clock at night to 5 P. M., which still con- 
 tinues. These services are much better attended and are 
 more popular than were the nightly services. Three unusual 
 services belong to the period which we are now covering. 
 On February 5, 1889, the rector arranged with the Vestry 
 for a service, to be held in St. John's Church April SOtt 
 following, commemorative of the centennial of the inaugura- 
 tion of George Washington as first President of the United 
 States. The service was held in response to the proclama- 
 tion of the President and the Governor of Virginia. It was 
 felt that no place for such a service could be more fitting thsoi 
 old St. John's. The Episcopal clergy of the city of Rich- 
 mond and Manchester not only participated, but also united 
 in an urgent printed invitation to the congregations and to 
 the brethren of the different denominations to attend. It 
 was on a Tuesday at 8 :15 P. M, that the service was held. 
 A printed order of service was prepared by the rector, with 
 the approval of Bishop Whittle, copying a form compiled by 
 Dean, afterwards Bishop, Hale, which was as nearly as possi- 
 ble a reproduction of that used by Bishop Prevoost when, 
 
St. John's Chueoh. 81 
 
 after the inaugural exercises in IsTew York, the President pro- 
 ceeded on foot to St. Paul's Church, and the Bishop of New 
 York, as chaplain of the Senate, there conducted services. 
 An impressively eloquent sermon was preached by Bishop 
 Karidolph. Fourth of July services were held in St. John's 
 in 1890, on Friday, at 10 A. M., in response to a suggestion 
 by the public press. It was urged by the rector as a means 
 of promoting sectional harmony, as the associations both of 
 the Fourth of July and St. John's Church belong to a com- 
 mon noble past; but being obliged to leave the city because 
 of recent sickness in his family, the Kev. J. B. Funsten, 
 rector of Christ's Church, generously accepted the chairman- 
 ship of the Committee on Arrangements. The address was 
 delivered by Eev. W. W. Landrum, E'. D., of the Second 
 Baptist church, in Richmond, and was pronounced by those 
 who heard it to be characteristically bright and able as well 
 as appropriate. On June 10, 1891, there was a memorable 
 celebration of the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the 
 erection of St. John's Church. The Vestry and the congre- 
 gation united with the rector in elaborate and extensive 
 preparations. The Bishops manifested their deep sympa- 
 thy. The clergy and Vestries of all the other churches in the 
 Parish of Henrico and those of Meade Memorial Church, 
 Manchester, were invited. The Governor and officers of the 
 State government, the Mayor, City Council and the muni- 
 cipal officers had seats reserved for them. A souvenir pro- 
 gramme, containing the services prepared by the rector based 
 upon the office for the consecration of churches, was approved 
 by the Bishop of the Diocese and handsomely printed. It 
 contained on the front of its enamelled cover a wood cut of 
 the Church and yard from a photograph taken by Mr. W. W. 
 Davies, of the Lee Gallery. As an appropriate memorial 
 of the occasion, the Vestry determined to purchase the hand- 
 r some lectern that now ornaments the Church. It was suit- 
 ably inscribed : 
 
 "A Thank-Coffering to God 
 
 by the Congregation, on the 150th Anniversary 
 
 of the erection of St John's Church, 
 
 Eichmond, Virginia, 
 
 June 10th, 1741-1891." 
 
82 HisTOET Heneico Paeish, 
 
 It was sincerely meant by the people of the congregation to 
 be a testimonial to their gratitude for His signal mercies so 
 long bestowed upon St, John's. It was duly in its place on 
 the appointed day, and upon it lay a new and handsome 
 Bible, presented by Captain and Mrs. Cyrus Bossieux. 
 
 Bishop Whittle, in reply to the application of the rector, 
 declared that his pastoral as to the use of flowers in the 
 churches of Virginia did not refer to sesqui-centennials, 
 and the ladies tastefully decorated the Church. The Bish- 
 ops and clergy vested in the robing room and were led by 
 the Wardens and Vestrymen of St. John's and by- the other 
 Vestries of the Parish and of Manchester to the front doors 
 of the Church. There the two Bishops entered first, each of 
 them by one of the aisles, Bishop Whittle to the right and 
 Bishop Randolph to the left, leading the clergy, who divided 
 in following them, in antiphonal reading of the 24th Psalm. 
 The Et. Eev. H. M. Jackson, D. D., Bishop Coadjutor of 
 Alabama, was also present on the occasion. The service was 
 read impressively by the Bishop of the Diocese ; the sermon, 
 a powerful and telling one, was delivered by the Assistant 
 Bishop. In the evening, after appropriate services provided 
 for in the souvenir programme, a carefully prepared address 
 was delivered by the Hon. Wm. Wirt Henry, a grandson of 
 him who had given special historical distinction to the spot 
 Mr. Henry led before the congregation in animated pro- 
 cession the chief men of his grandfather's time, whose bodies 
 were now lying in the Church yard. The congregations on 
 both occasions were such as to justify the preparations. And 
 the occasion, worthily commemorating the erection of the 
 Church building, made that fane even more important and 
 sacred and dear in the estimation of the people of Rich- 
 mond. Growing out of the interest thus quickened, Mr. 
 Joseph W. Johnston presented to the Church a Bible and 
 Prayer Book printed in 17Y0. 
 
 Mr. Burton had his convictions and was firm in the main- 
 tenance of the principles of the Church. With him there 
 was no compromise with evil, and yet he was not conceited 
 or self-opinionated. He did not think "he knew it all" 
 He not only did not deprecate, but encouraged well meant 
 and friendly criticism. On several occasions the writer took 
 
St. John's Ohtjeoh. 83 
 
 the liberty of commenting on his discourses; sometimes he 
 agreed and at other times he differed with him, but he al- 
 ways received Mr. Burton's thanks and his assurance that the 
 criticisms were not only helpful, but encouraging. He liked 
 to know the opinions of thoughtful people of his efforts. 
 Any comments made by his hearers were not deemed pre- 
 sumptuous if made in the proper spirit, but were appreciated 
 and received prompt and courteous acknowledgment 
 
 It is said that death always chooses a shining mark, and 
 it is equally as true in regard to Church "calls." In May, 
 1893, it was whispered that our rector had a "call" ; it was 
 soon ascertained that he had had two calls. Hope and doubt, 
 fear and trust beset our minds ; an air of sadness, of expecta- 
 tion, of subdued excitement pervaded our congregation. It 
 is true that theoretically an Episcopal minister is "called" 
 for life ; but if they are called to greener pastures or better 
 prospects, or if they think duty impels them and that they 
 can do more good elsewhere, they always hearken to the 
 "call." These rumors were confirmed when our beloved rector 
 announced at a Vestry meeting held May 11, 1893, the re- 
 ception of two "calls" — one to Moore Memorial, Richmond, 
 and the other to St. Andrew's, Louisville, Ky. He expressed 
 affection for each Vestryman and for the congregation ; spoke 
 of the many ties that bound him to the old Church. No 
 pecuniary consideration entered into the question; he hoped 
 to be governed entirely by a sense of duty. He requested the 
 Vestry to talk freely, and to place before him every argument 
 for remaining, and, above all, to pray. The Vestry ex- 
 hausted every argument in their power and expressed in 
 warmest terms their sincere affection, giving reasons from 
 their standpoint why he should remain. On the afternoon of 
 May 15, 1893, the ladies of St. John's congregation met at the 
 "Old Oarrington Mansion," the residence of Mrs. A. W. 
 Weddell, and one hundred and seventy-five names were signed 
 to a touching address asking Mr. Burton not to leave. 
 
 On May 17th a meeting of the congregation, was held in 
 the Church to give them an opportunity to express their views 
 and feelings in regard to the matter ; whereupon a committee 
 was appointed, consisting of J. S. Moore, T. P. Gretter, 
 D. C. Richardson, F. J. Oraigie, and G^eorge L. Cnnrie, 
 
84 HiSTOBT Heweioo Pakish, 
 
 which presented the following resolutions, which were unani- 
 mously adopted, and it was further ordered, "That the secre- 
 tary be requested to send a copy thereof to the rector, who 
 was then absent at Winchester, Ya., and to enter a copy of the 
 same on the Church records, according to custom, and to 
 publish the same in the Southern Churchman" : 
 
 "It having come to the knowledge of this congregation that 
 our beloved rector, Eev. Lewis William Burton, has received 
 a most flattering call to St. Andrew's Church, in Louisville, 
 Ky., and has the same under present consideration, we desire 
 hereby to express our sincere affection for him personally, 
 and our hearty appreciation of his earnest and devoted conse- 
 cration of time and talents to this congregation and com- 
 munity, as well as to every good work in this city and the 
 Diocese of Virginia. 
 
 Confident that in reaching a decision upon this most im- 
 portant question our beloved rector will be actuated only by a 
 high sense of duty as to where lies his field of greater use- 
 fulness, we would place before him in detail the great work 
 that by the blessing of Almighty God he has conducted with 
 such signal success — 
 
 1. The congregation of old St. John's has, been growing 
 steadily under his faithful ministry. 
 
 2. A flourishing mission in Fulton, known as Weddell 
 Memorial Mission. 
 
 3. A mission in the Valley, known as Calvary Mission. 
 
 4. A colored mission, known as the Good Shepherd Mis- 
 sion. 
 
 5. His position as Vice-President of the Kichmond City 
 Missionary Society. 
 
 6. His position as one of the examining chaplains of the 
 Diocese of Virginia. 
 
 7. His prominence in the James Eiver Convocation. 
 
 8. His position and relations to the clergy of the city, both 
 in our Church and those of other denominations. 
 
 9. The high estimation in which he is held by lihe com- 
 munity at large. 
 
 Believing that there can be no broader field for his faithful 
 labors, and none where they can be more needed or more 
 highly appreciated, we trust that he may be so guided by the 
 
St. John's Chuboh. 85 
 
 Holy Spirit that he may still find Ms path of duty to lie in 
 our midst, and we pledge our continued and increased efforts 
 to the upholding of his hands in his many and arduous duties.

 To these puhlic protests were added the pleadings of indi- 
 viduals — ^many of them special friends. The difficulty of 
 our rector's deciding as to the course of duty and the pain in 
 determining to remove from St. John's cannot well he 
 imagined. In the mean time hope and doubt heset the con- 
 gregation. It was with no little apprehension and anxiety 
 fiiat the congregation assembled on Sunday, May 21, 1893, 
 when our beloved rector, with a care-worn face, showing the 
 great strain he had undergone, announced his text (I. Samuel 
 20: 22, 23) : "Go thy way; for the Lord hath sent thee away. 
 And as touching the matter which thou and I have spoken of, 
 behold the Lord be between thee and me forever." The fear, 
 the premonition of our loss, was confirmed, and before the 
 sermon was ended tears, from eyes not accustomed to weep, 
 could be seen trickling down the cheeks of many present. 
 
 The congregation accepted the inevitable, fully satisfied 
 that our rector had been influenced and actuated solely by his 
 sense of duty. The bond, of sympathy, the ties of affection, 
 of congeniality and spirituality were at last to be severed. 
 It was deeply affecting when each in turn the congregation 
 approached the chancel and shook his hand and bade him 
 good-bye ; but the affection and regard in which Mr. Burton 
 is held by the congregation of St. John's Church has been 
 strongly evinced since he left us. 
 
 At a meeting held on the 14th of October, 1894, a commit- 
 tee was appointed to "draft resolutions expressive of the 
 sympathy of the Church with its former beloved rector, who 
 had recently been called to mourn the death of his honored 
 father." 
 
 At a meeting of the Vestry held December 10, 1895, the 
 
86 HisTOET Heneico Pabish, 
 
 Vestry tendered "their heartfelt congratulations to Eev. 
 Lewis William Burton on his election to the Bishopric of the 
 Diocese of Lexington, Ky." 
 
 At a meeting of the Vestry held May 5, 1896, and again 
 October 4, 1896, motions were offered and unanimously 
 carried "cordially inviting Kt. Kev. Lewis William Burton to 
 visit and preach at our Church at any time that it may suit 
 his convenience." Since Mr. Burton has left us he has on 
 two occasions accepted these invitations. He has on each of 
 these occasions been welcomed with open heart and out- 
 stretched arms and with a love that can only be severed by 
 death, and that will linger in the countless realms of eter- 
 nity. To sum up Mr. Burton's administration, when he 
 came to St. John's, 1884, he found the Church not only in 
 debt, but its revenues insufficient to meet current expenses. 
 He found that the contingent fund had not been paid in full 
 for some years. He established two thriving and prosperous 
 missions. When he left us the Church was entirely outof 
 debt, the contingent fund fully paid up, and the congregation 
 largely increased in numbers. 
 
 Mr. Burton, in his "Succession of Ministers of Henrico 
 Parish," has an interregnum of sixty-six years between Thos. 
 Bargrave and James Blair, and one of thirty-five years be- 
 tween George Robinson and James Keith. These hiatuses, 
 we think, are partially filled by the records from Henrico 
 county court-house. The records show that previous to 1716, 
 one, the Eev. Jacob Ware, was minister of Henrico Parish 
 for a period of twenty years. The same records also show 
 that in lYOl Claude Philippe de Richebourg* is mentioned as 
 minister of Henrico Parish. The Eev. William Penney or 
 Finney is also mentioned as minister of Henrico Parish, 
 June 5, 1727 ; the last named was an M. A. of Glasgow Uni- 
 versity. 
 
 The Eev. E. A. Goodwin, of Petersburg, was called to St. 
 John's Church by the Vestry June 8, 1893. Mr. Goodwin 
 accepted the call June 19, 1893, to assume the rectorship on 
 the 15th of September next, on which date he assumed 
 charge of St. John's, where he has been and is now laboring

 faithfully and efficiently in the cause of Christ. His interest 
 in the missions established by Mr. Burton has manifested it- 
 self in earnest zeal and untiring efforts. In f ?ict, he took up 
 the entire work of the Church just where Mr. Burton left off,, 
 and the spiritual and material welfare and machinery of the 
 Church has known no diminution or change. His faithful- 
 ness at the bedside of the sick, his constant attendance and 
 sympathy when in trouble amongst the bereaved, who have 
 been bowed down with grief, has been one of the character- 
 istics of his personality and his ministerial functions. His 
 earnestness, his thorough consecration to duty, his sincere 
 piety have endeared him to old St. John's, and have bound 
 him to the congregation with the strongest ties of respect and 
 affection. One of the first suggestions made by Mr. Goodwin 
 to the Vestry was one looking to the establishment of a per- 
 manent endowment fund for the support of missions, which, 
 however, has only met with partial success. It was also at 
 his suggestion and urgent appeal in 1895 that a deaconess was 
 employed (the first in the history of the Church in Vir- 
 ginia), whose duty is to visit the poor and the sick of the 
 parish, to make known their necessities and minister to their 
 wants, all which has resulted in much good and has been of 
 material assistance to him in his labors. Bishop Whittle 
 thought so well of this, appointment that in his report to the 
 Council in 1897, he says : "In St. John's Church, Kichmond, 
 I had the great satisfaction of setting apart Miss Mary E. 
 Jones for the office and work of a deaconess, she being the 
 first of this order in the Diocese ; the service was most solemn 
 and impressive." 
 
 The memorial tablet that now hangs on the walls of the 
 Church to the Rev. Eobert Eose was placed with consent of 
 the Vestry by his lineal descendants in February, 1894. The 
 organ, which for many years stood in the gallery of the 
 Church, was moved to the main floor of the Church in June, 
 1894. 
 
 A legacy for Weddell mission, amounting to $739.54, from 
 the late W. J. Cussens, of Eichmond, was received June 6, 
 1894, by the Vestry; the amount left by his will was $1,000, 
 but as some of his heirs were not of age and the adult legatees 
 tendered this amount in settlement, sooner than resort to 
 
88 HiSTOEY Hewhico Paeish, 
 
 litigation, the Vestry accepted this amount and the trustees 
 were authorized to expend $39.54 of this sum on Weddell 
 Chapel, and to invest the remainder at interest. 
 
 At a meeting of the Vestry held October 2, 1894, the fol- 
 lowing letter was read and entered on the minutes :

 Gentlemeis", — ^On November 26, 1881, a tombstone by 
 Messrs. Eogers & Miller, of your city, was placed, at my re- 
 quest and expense, in St. John's Church yard to mark the 
 grave of Governor John Page, of Virginia. It is near the 
 south entrance to the Church, 
 
 Without my knowledge or instruction (until I heard of it 
 too late) a so-called coat-of-arms was made on the tomb- 
 stone, a thing as ridiculous as it is incorrect. 
 
 The foot-stone was also placed at the side of the walk in- 
 stead of in it, with the initials facing the iron railing on 
 Grace street, instead of facing the head piece. 
 
 I respectfully and earnestly request that your honorable 
 body allow and authorize me to make the proper corrections 
 in the matter in the presence of witnesses, if necessary.

 P. S. — ^I respectfully refer you to Major John Page, at 
 Beaver Dam P. O., Hanover county, Va. 
 
 The Vestry having no authority over the grounds, no ac- 
 tion was taken except to acknowledge the letter, and to sug- 
 gest to Mr. Page that he apply to the Council Committee on 
 St. John's Church Yard. 
 
 A called meeting of the Vestry was held after morning 
 service Sunday, September 1, 1895, and suitable resolutions 
 adopted expressing the sympathy of the Vestry and congrega- 
 tion with our bereaved pastor in his deep affliction, occasioned 
 by the death of his beloved wife. As an evidence of the 
 affection in which our pastor's wife was held, an endowment 
 fund of $200, to be known as a memorial to Mrs. Mary E. 
 Goodwin, was raised by the congregation and turned over to 
 the trustees for investment. December 10th of the same 
 
St. John's Chuboh. 89 
 
 year, Miss Emma Lacy requested that she or her adminis- 
 trator be allowed to place a memorial window in St. John's 
 Church to her parents and Brother, to cost not less than $500, 
 subject, "The Transfiguration," which was granted on con- 
 dition that the design be first approved by the rector and 
 Vestry. 
 
 Subsequently the family of Mr. James W. Shields, for 
 many years a Vestryman and Senior Warden of the Church, 
 made a similar request, which was granted on the same con- 
 ditions. 
 
 At a meeting of the Vestry held June 2, 1896, a letter was 
 received from Lewis H. Blair, Thomas M. Rutherfoord and 
 A. Beirne Blair, grandsons of Geddes Winston, requesting 
 permission "to replace the present tombstone erected to their 
 ancestor, Geddes Winston, who died June 9, iY84, * * 
 which is about to fall to pieces from age." This letter was 
 referred to the Council Committee on St. John's Church 
 Yard. 
 
 The spire of St. John's Church having been blown down 
 by the hurricane that passed over the city Tuesday night, 
 September 29, 1896, at a meeting of the Vestry held October 
 6th, it was resolved that a tower similar to the one shown in 
 a picture in the possession of Mr. W. W. Davies be erected 
 (this being the original tower), and this tower to be sur- 
 mounted by a cross. It was also resolved at this meeting 
 that the Vestry be constituted a committee with the assist- 
 ance of the presidents of the various societies of the Church 
 to solicit subscriptions to build the tower called for by the 
 resolutions of the Vestry. It was not only decided to replace 
 the steeple, but to paint the interior and the exterior of the 
 Church, also to take out the lights in the windows and re- 
 place the same with cathedral glass. 
 
 The following is the report of the committee : 
 
 To the Vestry of 8t. John's Church: 
 
 As chairman of the Committee on Eepairs of St. John's 
 Church, I have the honor to submit the following report : 
 
 On the night of the 29th of September last our city was 
 visited by one of the most terrific wind storms ever known in 
 this vicinity. Trees that had long stood the storms of many 
 
90 HiSTOEY Hbweico Pabish, 
 
 yeara were uprooted, houses unroofed, telegraph and tele- 
 phone poles blown doToi, steeples tottered and fell, and great 
 alarm and uneasiness was felt throughout the whole cily. 
 When the sun rose next morning a scene of desolation and 
 wreck met the eye everywhere. 
 
 Our tower was dismantled of its steeple, the graves in our 
 church yard encumbered with falling limbs and the walk- 
 ways strewn with the debris of uprooted trees. Fortu- 
 nately the steeple fell outward; had it fallen upon or into 
 our sacred old building, it would have crushed it to atoms, 
 but an All- Wise Providence so ruled the storm that our old 
 building was preserved intact. Immediately after the storm 
 our venerable Senior Warden, the late James W. Shields, 
 who has now gone to his eternal rest, was upon the grounds, 
 and by his thoughtful and energetic attention, such tempo- 
 rary repairs were made as the exigencies of the occasion sug- 
 gested and required. 
 
 At the regular meeting of the Vestry, the following com- 
 mittee was appointed— viz : Eev. K. A. Goodwin, James W. 
 Shields, Cyrus Bossieux, John F. Mayer, F. J. Craigie, Dr. 
 L. C. Crump, and J. S. Moore. At a subsequent meeting of 
 this committee it organized by the election of J. S. Moore as 
 chairman. This committee was authorized to restore the 
 tower and make such other repairs as it deemed necessary. 
 In addition to the restoration of the tower, your committee 
 was authorized to beautify the Church by substituting 
 stained glass in the windows for the ordinary lights ; to haie 
 the Church building and the two Sunday school houses re- 
 paired and painted. Each member of the Vestry was con- 
 stituted a committee, with the assistance of such other mem- 
 bers of the congregation as might aid in the enterprise, to 
 raise funds for this object. 
 
 Your committee desire to congratulate the Vestry upon 
 the completion of their labors; they also desire to return 
 thanks to those who have so liberally contributed of their 
 means in the restoration of our house of worship, and unite in 
 asking that our report be received and your committee be dis- 
 charged. We take pleasure in turning over to you the old 
 Church in its new dress of spotless white, emblematic of that 
 purity of heart and rectitude of life that should actuate and 
 
St. John's Chueoh. 91 
 
 characterize its comiminicants ; your conmiittee also, with, we 
 trust, pardonable pride, calls attention to the beautiful and 
 artistic windows that now ornament our Church, giving it 
 that antique and sacred appearance that befits its ancient and 
 time-honored walls, within whose hallowed precincts so many- 
 interesting events have occurred, not only in the history of 
 the Church, but incidents notable and historic in the annals 
 o(f the Commonwealth and of the nation; for it is well 
 known that St. John's Church, on Richmond Hill, is not 
 only the oldest colonial place of worship in our city, but 
 bears the distinguished honor of having been the place in 
 which the inspiring eloquence of a Henry aroused our people 
 to resistance, which culminated in the birth of a nation! 
 Within its sacred enclosure, "where the rude forefathers of 
 the hamlet sleep," rest many of Virginia's distinguished 
 sons, who there in their last and dreamless sleep await the 
 resurrection morn. When, as is contemplated, our Church 
 shall be further ornamented by the two memorial windows 
 now bespoken, one in honor of our lamented Senior War- 
 den and the other to the memory of the Lacy family, it wiU 
 add very much to the beauty and harmony of the whole. 
 
 Your committee desire to call your attention to the fact 
 that in repairing the tower. they have dispensed with the 
 steeple that recently adorned it, and have restored this part of 
 our building to the shape and appearance it bore previous to 
 * 1863, when the tower was blown down by a high wind. The 
 steeple has been replaced by a cupola, being a f ac-simile of 
 the old tower and belfry, modelled from a picture of this 
 ancient edifice kindly loaned by Mr. W. W. Davies. Your 
 conmiittee earnestly trust that our old Church, which is the 
 Mecca at whose shrine so many strangers pay their homage, 
 and within whose walls so many who have passed over the 
 river offered their devotion to Deity, may be spared many 
 years in its ancient form, its simple architecture, its spotless 
 purity, its untarnished reputation, standing as it does within 
 its sacred necropolis, and that it may remain not only to 
 [light the beacon torch of liberty to future generations, but 
 jmay continue as the alma mater of Christian faith noted for 
 its piety, zeal and good works.

 In 1898 a special committee was appointed by the Vestry, 
 consisting of Mr. J. S. Moore, Ohainnan; Cyrus Bossieux, 
 Senior Warden; Captain John F. Mayer, Junior Warden; 
 Dr. L. C. Crump and Mr. F. J. Craigie, to look into the cost 
 of the needed repairs to the Church building, and the put- 
 ting in of a ventilator, painting, calcimining or frescoing the 
 walls, carpeting the aisles and chancel and varnishing the in- 
 terior woodwork — the sa,id committee to solicit bids for the 
 proposed improvements and report to the Vestry. IJndei 
 this resolution the Church was renovated and restored to its 
 present condition. At this time the shingles were removed 
 from the roof and tin substituted. 
 
 At a meeting of the Vestry held October 4, 1898, resoh- 
 tions were adopted expressive of sorrow at the death of Mr. 
 E. A. Saunders, "who for many years was connected with 
 this Church as a communicant and Vestryman, in which 
 connection, by his kindness of heart, his personal liberal 
 nature, his sincere piety and devotion to duty, he won our 
 love and esteem." A copy of these resolutions was ordered 
 to be spread upon the minutes and a copy sent to his bereaved 
 wife. 
 
 At a meeting of the Vestry held Jaiiuary 3, 1899, it was 
 requested that the Brotherhood of St. Andrew of this Church 
 furnish six of its members to act as ushers, to take up collefr 
 tion on Sunday afternoon and at Wednesday night service, 
 the object being to interest young men in Church work. 
 
 At a meeting of the Vestry March 14, 1899, a committee 
 was appointed "to draft suitable resolutions of respect to our 
 deceased friend and Vestryman, Dr. L. C. Crump," and that 
 a copy of said resolutions be sent to the family and entered 
 upon the minutes, which were adopted. During this year 
 extensive repairs, costing about $1,200, were made to the 
 rectory, rendering it more convenient and comf ortable^; and 
 enhancing the value of the property. 
 
 At a meeting of the Vestry November Y, 1899, voluntary 
 pledges for an indefinite period from four persons were made, 
 amounting to $550, to pay the salary of an assistant at Wed- 
 dell Chapel, and the Committee on Weddell were authorized 
 to employ an assistant minister. 
 
 At a called meeting of the Vestry November 22, 1899, to 
 
St. John's Chuboh. 93 
 
 consider the resignation of Miss (Bettie) E. A. Fitzwilson, 
 the blind organist, on her proposed removal to New York, 
 the following resolutionSj offered by Mr. J. S. Moore, were 
 unanimously adopted : 
 
 Whereas the Vestry of St. John's P. E. Church is in re- 
 ceipt of the resignation of Miss E. A. Eitzwilson, who has 
 served as organist for more than a quarter of a century : 
 J Eesolved, That the Vestry with deep regret accepts the 
 same, begging to assure her of our high estimation of her 
 faithful services through so many years, her lofty devotion 
 to duty, her consecration of effort. The magic of her hand, 
 the symphony of her mystic touch, will long linger in our 
 hearts as a pleasant memory, a sacred benison, when her 
 presence is no longer with us. 
 
 Resolved, That in the sad bereavement (the death of her 
 sister and mother) that has been the occasion of her resig- 
 nation, the Vestry tenders its sincere and heartfelt sympathy, 
 and indulges the hope, in the providence of God, that in her 
 new home amongst strangers in a strange land a happy fu- 
 ture awaits her, and we trust she may find many friends and 
 form pleasant ties and associations that will surround her and 
 guard her with the same watchful care, the same tender af- 
 i feotion, cordial appreciation and sincere good-will which she 
 has ever enjoyed with her Richmond friends in old Henrico 
 Parish. 
 
 ! Resolved, That these resolutions be entered on the minutes, 
 and a copy of same be duly certified to Miss Fitzwilson under 
 the signature of the rector and register. 
 fc Minutes on the death of Mrs. Caroline Shields, the wife 
 of our late Senior Warden, James W. Shields, and one of the 
 most faithful workers and liberal contributors to Church 
 |work, were made by the Vestry April 3, 1900. Of this 
 saintly soul it was truly said : 
 
 " She never made a face grow dark, 
 |t ':;. Nor caused a tear save when she died." 
 
 1^ At a Vestry meeting held January 1, 1901, Mr. J, S. 
 Woore offered the following minute, which was adopted and 
 itii)laced on record: 
 
 "In sad remembrance of the ending of the nineteenth, 
 
94 History Henbico Paeish. 
 
 and in joyful commemoration of the twentieth centufy, the 
 rector and Wardens of old St. John's Church had the bell 
 solemnly tolled for five minutes before 12 o'clock on the 
 night of the 31st of December, 1900, and for five minutes 
 after 12 o'clock on the morning of January 1, 1901, it 
 was merrily rung — ^thus ringing a requiem to the dying year 
 and century, and giving a glad greeting to the new ; and as 
 the bell tolled sad and low we could hear it speak in tones 
 reluctant : 
 
 " Old year, you must not die ; 
 
 You came to us so readily. 
 
 You lived with us steadily, 
 
 Old yearj you shall not die." 
 
 But as the solemn sound ceased and the joyous peal thrilled 
 upon the ear expectant, we could hear the old bell singing 
 triumphantly : 
 
 " There's a new foot on the floor, my friend, 
 And a new face at the door, my friend, 
 A new friend at the door." 
 
 The Oussen Fund, in 1892, was appropriated to the build- 
 ing of a Sunday school and Gruild room on the lot at Wed- 
 dell Chapel, and to repairs on the chapel. 
 
 The application, March 31, 1902, of Greorge Pickett Mayo, 
 an old Sunday school scholar of St. John's Church, a candi* 
 date for ordination as deacon^ was cordially endorsed by the 
 Vestry. 
 
 A memorial window erected to the memory of the Lacy 
 family by Miss Emma Lacy was placed in St. John's in 
 1902, and the Shields' window some time prior to this. 
 
 About this time it was ascertained that the Church tower 
 was in a dangerous condition, and it was ordered taken down 
 and rebuilt. 
 
 At a meeting of the Vestry after the return of our rector 
 from his summer vacation in 1902, thanks were tendered Mr- 
 F. J. Craigie "for his most efficient and highly enjoyed ser 
 vices rCTidered as a lay reader at the Sunday motmBgieei- 
 vices during the rector's absence." 
 
 May 5, 1903, a committee was appointed by the Vestry to 
 express to her sons, Messrs. Joseph H. and James T, 
 
St. John's Chttech. 95 
 
 the sorrow of the Vestry at the death of their mother, Mrs. 
 James M. Estes. For many years she was an earnest and 
 faithful Church worker, whose prayers and alms continually 
 went up to her Heavenly Father. 
 
 At a meeting of the Vestry June 2, 1903, notification was 
 received that Mr. David J. Baldwin, a former communicant 
 of St. John's, had left a bequest to the Church of $500. At 
 this meeting Mr. Gny Christian was engaged to take charge 
 of the work at Weddell Chapel. 
 
 Allusion has already been made in this sketch to the 
 earnest effort of Mr. Goodwin at the beginning of his minis- 
 try in St. John's to raise an endowment fund for missionary 
 work. It is proper just here to insert the splendid circular 
 letter issued by the. committee. 
 
 To the Friends of Old 8t. John's Church, Richmond, Ya. : 
 
 St. John's is the mother church of Kichmond, and of Hen- 
 rico parish. It was built one hundred and fifty-three years 
 ago, when the Old Dominion owed allegiance to George III., 
 and the Protestant Episcopal Church in Virginia was in the 
 jurisdiction of the Bishop of London. Within its walls was 
 held the Virginia Convention of A. D. 17 Y 5 ; and here Pat- 
 rick Henry's great oration, which fired the hearts of the peo- 
 ple for liberty, was delivered. This Church is thus identi- 
 fied with the history of the Commonwealth and of our whole 
 country. 
 
 No one can compute what has been done for the Kingdom 
 ■ of our Lord Jesus Christ by the ministers and people who 
 have been identified with St. John's Church during the past 
 one hundred and fifty-three years. 
 
 In the beautiful graveyard surrounding the Church are 
 buried some who were highly esteemed in Church and State, 
 many who were the honored progenitors of distinguished 
 families, and many others who, though "to fortune and to 
 fame unknown," had their names written in Heaven, and 
 were "rich in good works." 
 
 There are few Episcopal Churches in Eichmond which do 
 not number among their most liberal contributors and most 
 ■active workers some whose parents were trained in the way 
 ,of righteousness, or who themselves once worshipped, at Old 
 
96 HiSTOBT Henbico Pabish, 
 
 St. John's. There are many congregations, in this and other 
 States, of which the same is true. 
 
 This Church has now a larger membership (including her 
 missions), than any other Church in the Diocese of Virginia,,, 
 but the great majority of these members are poor in this 
 world's goods. To this Church the poor have always been 
 welcomed ; and under the leadership of the sainted Weddell 
 and the earnest and energetic Burton, three missions were 
 established, and have been constantly carried on. 
 
 The tendency for more than a hundred years has been for 
 those blessed with wealth to move from Church Hill ; but the 
 number of souls in this part of the city has greatly increased. 
 To help to meet the spiritual needs of the poor on and around 
 Church Hill, our congregation is conducting the missioiiB 
 referred to. Not willing that the good work of our Church 
 shall decrease, and greatly desiring to make our mission work 
 more aggressive, the Vestry has decided to endeavor to secure 
 a partial endowment for St. John's Church. 
 
 It is proposed to enter in a well-bound book, to be pre- 
 served in the archives of the Church, the names of those who 
 contribute to this endowment fund, with the amount given. 
 One contribution has already been made to this fund. 
 
 It is also proposed to preserve a part of this book for a 
 record of special memorial endowments. A page will be 
 devoted to the memory of the person designated. The amount 
 of the memorial fund will be stated, with the name of the 
 person or persons contributing, and no other entry will be 
 made on that page. The interest only will be used. Sueb 
 a memorial will last longer than marble, or brass, or stained 
 glass ; and will perpetually furnish a fund to carry on the 
 good work which was dear to the hearts of departed saints 
 while they lived here, and is now more precious to them 
 since they see more clearly, in the light of Paradise, theim- 
 portanee of the Lord's work on the earth. Surely therg'iare 
 not a few whose loved ones are buried at St. John's or who 
 have worshipped and labored for Christ there, though they be 
 buried elsewhere, who will be glad to perpetually associate 
 their names with the good work of the Church which they 
 loved, and, at the same time, perpetually help forward the 
 Lord's work. 
 
St. John's Chusch. 97 
 
 In more tlian one instance money has been left, by -will, 
 to our Church which the Yestry did not receive, because it 
 was not devised according to the laws of the State. 
 
 Churches are not incorporated under the laws of Virginia, 
 and legal difficulties generally arise when bequests are made 
 to vestries or trustees of Churches. Bequests made to "The 
 Trustees of the Funds of the Protestant Episcopal Church 
 in the Diocese of Virginia" for the sole use and benefit of 
 St. John's Protestant Episcopal Church, Kichmond, Va., 
 will be safe, because these trustees are incoi^orated. 
 
 It is better to give while we live; but if any cannot do 
 this without cutting off their own means of subsistence, we 
 suggest this method of making bequests to the endowment 
 fund of St. John's Church.

 It is hoped that the reading of the above touching appeal 
 may reach the hearts of many and kindle the missionary 
 spirit sufficiently to induce them to respond, and in settling 
 their earthly affairs to lay up treasures in Heaven, "where 
 neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do 
 not break through nor steal." 
 
 To recapitulate, or even briefly sum up the work done by 
 our faithful Eector, the Kev. K.. A. Goodwin, in the ten 
 years he has been with us, would take more time and space 
 than is at the command of the writer. In addition to his 
 pastoral duties, which have always been arduous, his most 
 earnest efforts have been all along directed to the increase and 
 extension of missionary work of the Church, and to that 
 end he has (1) Extended the scope of St. John's Missionary 
 Society to embrace all branches of missions — ^parish, city, 
 diocesan, domestic and foreign. At his suggestion sub- 
 scriptions are made by the year to be paid monthly in offer- 
 tory. (2) Perfected the organization of the Woman's Aux- 
 iliary — divided into four sections, one of which is at Wed- 
 dell Chapel, and all of which sections take part in most of 
 7 
 
98 HisTOEY Hbneico Pabish, 
 
 the branches of the missionary work above mentioned. (3) 
 Organized the Junior Auxiliary, of which there are two sec- 
 tions, one composed of girls and young ladies from 12 to 15 
 years of age, and the other of the smaller Sunday School 
 children — ^both boys and girls. (4) Organized the Junior 
 Brotherhood of St. Andrew. (5) Appointed one Sunday in 
 each month as Missionary Sunday in the Sunday schools, the 
 offerings on that day going to foreign missions. (6) Organ- 
 ized the Ministering League — composed of ladies willing to 
 assist the Deaconess in her work among the poor and sick. 
 
 During Mr. Goodwin's rectorship the choir has been en- 
 larged, the Church repaired and beautified; cathedral glass 
 introduced in the windows; the Weddell Memorial chapel 
 has been enlarged and painted ; a new furnace and pews put 
 in ; a Parish room built costing about $2,000, and as already 
 stated the rectory has been repaired and enlarged, and a 
 new tower built to the church, costing jointly about $3,000. 
 
 The first of last June, notwithstanding all these outlays 
 and expenditures, there was no debt on the church except for 
 the new tower — the Easter offering being used for the liqui- 
 dation of the debt on the rectory and leaving a balance to 
 apply to the debt on the tower. The total contributions to 
 St. John's Church in the last ten years have been nearly 
 $60,000, of which sum (in round fiarures) $25,000 has gone 
 to the regular expenses of the Church — the remainder going 
 to charities and missions within and without the Parish; 
 all of this sum has been contributed as free will offerings-4f J 
 none of it raised by entertainmentSj fairs, etc. -• 
 
 The percentage of regular expenses to total contributions 
 is remarkable, if not unprecedented in church history. It 
 is also encouraging and instructive as showing that as a 
 Church, though poor, we are not spending as much as half 
 of our income on ourselves, including repairs, etc. The same 
 simple worship characterizes St. John's to-day as did that 
 of our forefathers and as the rubrics direct — ^no innova- 
 tions. We have no Altar, but a Holy Table. 
 
 If Bishops Madison and Meade should come back to offi- 
 ciate at St. John's they would find no change in ritual 
 or chancel arrangements to perplex and disconcert them, and 
 our rector has not forgotten the admonition, "Preach the 
 Word." 
 
St. John's Chuboh. 99 
 
 Space and time will not permit the mention of the many- 
 kindly acts of our faithful rector. To those of his congre- 
 gation. -who have been afflicted with sickness and death he has 
 at all times been at their call, without being sent for, if he 
 knew of the necessity or desire for his presence. To comfort 
 the distressed, to assuage their grief, to compassionate their 
 miseries, to alleviate their sorrows, to extend to them the 
 hand of sympathy, to speak the word of comfort, to sooth 
 their distress, and to point to the Cross has ever been his 
 constant and untiring effort and aim, and when he reaches 
 the golden shores of the New Jerusalem he will certainly 
 deserve the plaudit of "Well done, thou good and faithful ser- 
 vant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." 
 
 The present appearance of St. John's Church-yard is quite 
 different from what it was a half a century ago ; it was then 
 covered with mounds, indicating the resting places of those 
 who sleep their last sleep beneath the sod that covers them. 
 In more recent years these mounds have all been levelled, 
 and the grounds present a beautiful and level surface. 
 
 Until the year of 1825, when Shockoe Hill Cemetery was 
 established, the interments of the dead in the city of Rich- 
 mond were chiefly in the grounds of St. John's Church, 
 In the Manuscript Keminiscences by Kev. Prof. Corne- 
 lius Walker, D. D., referred to by Bishop Burton in his 
 annals, he says the number of graves and of grave-stones at 
 that period (1826) was greater than now, especially slabs. 
 Large numbers have disappeared. He says some years after, 
 on looking for the head-stone of an old schoolmate, which 
 stood with that of his father and other members of his family, 
 he found only the fragment of a single one, all the rest had 
 gone. 
 
 He says as the funerals were frequent, and as St. John's 
 was then one of the chief burying places, there were 
 always fresh graves to be seen in some part of the grounds. 
 ! It frequently occurred that from the bottom of a newly made 
 grave fragments from earlier interments were brought up 
 in digging it. Prof. Walker says he doubts whether there 
 could be found a spot of any size that had not been used for 
 'burial purposes. In his reminiscences he says one object 
 of mysterious interest in the cemetery was the vault, lying 
 
100 HisTOBT Heneico Paeish, 
 
 between the north door of the Church and Broad street. For 
 some time it had not been opened, and there was great curi- 
 osity as to its interior. A sad opportunity for such opening, 
 and for the satisfaction of all such curiosity was presented. 
 One of our Sunday School teachers, a Miss Weymouth, on a 
 visit to Norfolk, died there of yellow f everj and in due time 
 the vault was opened for the reception of her remains. So, 
 too, among the monuments, there were some noticeable as 
 connected with the deaths of those of whom they were memo- 
 rials and recent enough in point of time to be remembered. 
 One was of Miss Claxton, not far from the door of the western 
 transept, dying Just before the time of her anticipated mar- 
 riage. Another was that of Col. Gamble, between the north- 
 ern door and the gate on the cross street, killed by a fall 
 from his horse. Another was that of a Mr. McCredie, nearly 
 opposite what is now the Cathedral, hurrying to a fire and 
 failing to note the hail of the sentry was shot near the cap- 
 itol; and still another of a young man, Denoon, near the 
 gate on Broad street, killed by his employer in a fit either 
 of business or domestic jealousy, the murderer committing 
 suicide in jail a few days afterwards. Two others of interest 
 to the Sunday School scholars were those, two of their num- 
 ber, of Sarah Haley, a little girl dying in her tenth or 
 eleventh year, and Charlie Pulling, a little older, killed by 
 a fall from a horse. The last two have disappeared. The 
 others, and much the older, still remain. 
 
 Some Indian relics having been exhumed in the grounds, 
 it has been supposed that at one time a portion of them were 
 used as an Indian burial place. The surface of the cemetery 
 has been buried over and over again to a large extent, as in 
 digging new graves the relics of former interments have been 
 exposed. In instances graves have been opened to receive 
 others of the same family. It is to be profoundly regretted 
 that no regular and continuous record of the burials has 
 been kept. Some years ago there was found in the crypt or 
 basement of the Church a bronze tablet bearing the name 
 "John Coles." He was the ancestor of the distinguished 
 family of that name of Albemarle county, Virginia. Several 
 prominent families, among them the Adams, Carrington and 
 Pickett, had their private cemeteries. Their remains have 
 
St. John's Ohuech. 101 
 
 been re-interred in Hollywood — the final interment being in 
 1884. 
 
 Burials of citizens of Kicbmond were also made in family 
 cemeteries in tbe counties adjacent. At "Powhatan," the 
 seat of the Mayo family, just beyond the eastern limits of the 
 city, rests the remains of the Mayo, Cabell, Scott, and other 
 families. And at Shield's place to the west of the city are 
 the tombs of members of the Robinson and other families. 
 Here among them is the modest head-stone of Mrs. Jean 
 Wood, wife of Gov. James Wood, a woman of rare benevo- 
 lence of character with poetic ability of high order. There 
 was also a Jewish burying ground on the south side of Frank- 
 lin street, between Twentieth and Twenty-first streets, con- 
 taining the tombs of Israel and Mrs. Hester Cohen, covered 
 in granite masonry. 
 
 In conclusion, to those who wish a few moments of rest 
 and quiet communion with God, we invite you to our old 
 church-yard, where beneath the green sward "the rude fore- 
 fathers of the hamlet sleep." The trees still whisper a 
 gentle lullaby to the souls of the departed, and the meander- 
 ing James murmurs a restful requiem. The breezes speak 
 softly in sibilant tones of peace as the shadows come and go, 
 and the sunlight gently kisses the flowers into perennial 
 bloom as they lift their heads to catch its shimmering light 
 and to rejoice in its life-giving warmth — ^verily, a quiet 
 peaceful, restful spot amidst the noise of commerce and the 
 sounds of city life where one can turn aside for thought and 
 reflection. 
 
 The attractiveness and beauty of these lovely grounds are in 
 a great measure due to the constant care and labors of its 
 courteous and efficient keeper, Antonio (Dodd) Graffigna, 
 who succeeded his father, who for many years before him was 
 also its keeper. In addition to his other talents, "Dodd" also 
 makes the walls of Old St. John's resound occasionally to the 
 burning words of Henry's fiery eloquence to admiring 
 strangers, as with voice and appropriate gestures he repeats 
 the famous speech that echoed within its walls more than a 
 century and a half ago.

 Note. — The hiatus between Geo. Robinson, 1695, and James Keith, 
 1733, is undoubtedly partially filled by the incumbency of Rev. Jacob 
 Ware, who, as is shown by the Henrico Court Records in 1716, was 
 minister of Henrico Parish for twenty years. Phippe De Richebourg, 
 a French Huguenot, is also mentioned in the same records as min- 
 ister of Henrico Parish in 1701. Wm. Finney is also mentioned as 
 minister of Henrico Parish in 1727, and doubtless filled up the gap 
 until the rectorship of Rev. James Keith. In my opinion. Rev. 
 Jacob Ware was the minister alluded to by Bishop Burton, who 
 made his report to the Bishop of London, whose name "has been torn 
 from the MSS. of his report." — J. S. M.

THE FAMOUS 
 
 Revolution Speech of Patrick Henry, 
 
 DBLIVEEED BETOEE THE VIEGINIA COWVENTIOIT IS ST. JOHn's 
 CHTJECH, 1775. 
 
 "Mr. President," said he, "it is natural to man to indulge 
 in the illusions of hope. ' We are apt to shut our eyes against 
 a painful truth and listen to the song of that siren, till she 
 transforms us into beasts. Is this," he asked, "the part of 
 wise men, engaged in a great and ardous struggle for liberty? 
 Were we disposed to be of the number of those who, having 
 eyes see not, and having ears hear not, the things which so 
 nearly, concern their temporal salvation ? For his, part,, what- 
 ever anguish of spirit it might cost, he was willing to know 
 the .whole truth ; to know the worst, and provide for it." 
 
 "He had," he said, "but one lamp by which his. feet were 
 guided; and that was the lamp of experience. He knew of 
 no way of judging of the future but by the past. And in judg- 
 ing by the past, he wished to know what there had been in the 
 conduct „bf the British ministry for the last ten years, to 
 justify those hopes with which gentlemen had been pleased 
 to, .solace themselves and the house? Is it that insidious 
 smile, with which our.petition has been lately received ?, Trust 
 itji||t, sir^ it will, prove a snare to, your feet.- ■ Suffer not 
 y0]|i^elves to be betrayed with a kiss. Ask yourselves how 
 tlu^ gracious reception of our petition comports with those 
 W|1^e preparations which' cover our waters and darken our 
 land. ,Are fleets and armies necessary to a work' of love and 
 reconciliation? , Have we shown ourselves so unwilling. to be 
 reconciled that force must be called in to win back our love ? 
 Let us not deceive ourselves, sir. These are the implements 
 of war and subjugation, the last arguments to which kings 
 resort I ask gentlemen, sir, what means this martial array, 
 if its purpose be not to force us to submission? Can gentle- 
 8 
 
114 HisTOBT Heneico Pabish, 
 
 men assign any other possible motive for it? Has Great 
 Britain any enemy in this quarter .of the world to call for 
 all this accumulation of navies and armies ? No, sir, she has 
 none. They are meant for us; they can be meant for no 
 other. They are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those 
 chains which the British ministry have been so long forging. 
 And what have we to oppose them ? Shall we try argument? 
 Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years. Have 
 we anything new to offer upon the subject ? Nothing. We 
 have held the subject up in every light of whjch it is capable; 
 but it has been all in vain. Shall we resort to entreaty and 
 humble supplication ? What terms sball we find which have 
 not been already exhausted ? Let us not, I beseech you, sir, 
 deceive ourselves longer. Sir, we have done everything that 
 could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. 
 We have petitioned, we have remonstrated, we have suppli- 
 cated, we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and 
 have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands 
 of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been 
 slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional vio- 
 lence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; 
 and we have been spumed with contempt from the foot of 
 the throne. In vain, .after these things, may we indulge the 
 fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer 
 any room for hope^ If we wish to be free — if we mean to 
 preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we 
 have been so long contending — if we mean not basely to 
 abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long 
 engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to aban- 
 don until the glorious object of our contest shall be ob- 
 tained — ^we must fight ! I repeat it, sir, we must fight ! An 
 appeal to arms and to the God of hosts, is all that is left us !" 
 "They tell us, sir," continued Mr. Henry, "that we are 
 weak — unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But 
 when shall we be stronger ? Will it be next week or tbe next 
 year ? Will it be when we are totally disarmed and when a 
 British guard shall be stationed in every house ? Shall we 
 gather strength by irresolution and inaction ? Shall we ac- 
 quire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on 
 our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope until

 our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot ? Sir, we are 
 not weak, if we. make a proper use of those means which the 
 God of Nature hath placed in our power. Three millions of 
 people armed in the holy cause of liberty and in such a coun- 
 try as that which we possess are invincible by any force 
 which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall 
 not fight our battles alone. There is a just Grod who presides 
 over the destinies of nations and who will raise up friends to 
 fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong 
 alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, 
 sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, 
 it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no re- 
 treat but in submission and slavery ! Our chains are forged. 
 Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston ! The 
 war is inevitable — ajid let it come ! ! I repeat it, sir, let it 
 come! ! 
 
 "It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen 
 may cry peace, peace, but there is no peace. The war is 
 actually begun! The. next gale that sweeps from the north 
 will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our 
 brethren are already in the field ! Why stand here idle ? 
 What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? 
 Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the 
 price of chains and slavery ? Forbid it, Almighty God. I 
 know not what course others may take ; but as for me," cried 
 he, with both his arms extended aloft, his brow knit, every 
 feature marked with the resolute purpose of his soul, and his 
 voice swelled to its boldest note of exclamation, "Give me 
 liberty, or give me death !"

 AT OLD ST. John's chuech, jitnb 10, 1891, 150th awnivee- 
 
 SAET. 
 
 I nrast rely upon your love for this old Okurch and your 
 reverence for its associations, for your interest and kind at- 
 tention as I discharge the grateful duty which my valued 
 friend, your rector, has assigned to me. It has often oc- 
 curred to me in the last few years, that a sense of the value of 
 our history and reverence for our past is growing in this, 
 our new land and in this age, which we are in the habit of 
 diesignating as above all others a material, mechanical and 
 practical age. The organization of societies for preserving 
 inemorials of the past, the revival of interest in the historical 
 societies of the different States, the reverence for the old 
 churches and the efforts to rescue them, where it is practica- 
 ble and in some cases when it is impracticable and useless, 
 the renewed interest in our colleges in historical studies — 
 all these are symptoms of a revival of the historic spirit and 
 an iiBsertion of the historic instinct which has always been 
 one of the strongest elements in our Anglo-Saxon character 
 and Virilization. That historic instinct has been the charac- 
 teristic of all the progressive nations of the earth — the races 
 that have been without it have fallen further and further 
 behind in the march of civilization ; they have gravitated pro- 
 gressively toward the aiiimal life of living from day to day; 
 each day forgetting yesterday and oblivious of to-morrow, 
 learning nothing, sowing no seed and gathering no harvest. 
 How can we comprehend the present but through the past ? 
 Where are the roots of our laws, our institutions, our habits 
 and customs but in the past ? In studying the history of our 
 forefathers and of our land we are studying ourselves. We 
 are finding out how we came to be what we are; we are 
 
118 HisTOEY Henbico Pabish, 
 
 tracing back to their sources the streams of our liberties, our 
 laws and our institutions. In following the fortunes of our 
 fathers we are finding out the influences that formed our 
 minds and educated our infancy and molded our nation- 
 ality. That is true of our general, or as some would call it, 
 our secular history. But there is really no such thing as 
 secular history; all true history is the record of the educa- 
 tion of nations and races under the teachings of Providence 
 and the movements of the Spirit of God upon the hearts of 
 men. But the highest kind of history is the history of 
 Christianity — ^the Church, and when I say the church I 
 mean the aggregate of all the forms of the churches that 
 . hold the essentials of Christianity. This Church in its spir- 
 itual work, in its intellectual work, in its influence upon 
 Individuals and upon masses, this constitutes the unity of 
 modern history. The Church of Christ lies behind every- 
 thing as a moving, modifying, conditioning force. Ever 
 since it began its work in the world, on the side of good and 
 blessing, it has been the soul of all true civilization; it has 
 been the inspiration of all true liberty ; it has been the guide 
 and the light upon the pathway of all true knowledge. Upon 
 the side of evil it has suffered its divine energies to be abased 
 in the vile fetters of Priest-craft, in the blood paroxysms of 
 fanaticism. All human passions have taken hold upon it, 
 sheltered themselves behind it, justified themselves by its 
 name. Its gospel of peace has been perverted and turned into 
 a sword that has separated father and son, husband and wife, 
 nations and people one from another, so it has penetrated in 
 everything, modifying and conditioning the evil, and fur- 
 nishing the motive forces of the good. 
 
 Modern history is a body Christianity, and its churches 
 are the soul of that body. To-day we are to think of some of 
 the events, and gather some lessons from the history of one 
 old Church, as we sit within its walls ; they are one hundred 
 and fifty years old. For these long generations it has been 
 standing upon this hill, that is older than itself by illimitable 
 years, it has been looking down upon the river that has been 
 flowing on to the sea just as it is to-day^ ages and ages 
 before its foundation stone was laid, but if nature is older 
 everything else around it is younger. It has seen the birth, 
 
St. JoHiir's Chubch. 119 
 
 the infancy, tlie growth and development of Eichmond for 
 150 years. Well, how did it come to be' here? And to 
 answer we must go back for a brief sketch of history. 
 
 On the 20th of July, 1588, the English Admiral Lord 
 Howard went out from Plymouth, and early, in the morning 
 discovered the Spanish Armada entering the British channel. 
 For ten years Philip, of Spain, with the Roman Catholic 
 powers, had been gathering their resources and their strength 
 to crush England, our mother land. The Armada had one 
 hundred and thirty-six battle ships, the largest then known 
 to naval architecture, beside one hundred vessels to attend 
 them. Prom the other end of the channel the Duke of 
 Parma, with another army, was tp meet them ; they were to 
 drive the little British navy from the channel, land their 
 armies upon the English coast and, gaining a foothold, pour 
 in upon England the Catholic powers of Europe, to crush 
 Protestantism. That was the plan. England had done her 
 best to get ready for this death grapple with her enemies, 
 but the odds were fearfully against her; she had 34 battle- 
 ships, and they went out that morning, the 20th of July, 
 1588j^ to meet 136 battleships, all larger than any one of 
 hers. The Armada moves with majesty up the Channel. 
 The coast of England is crowded with her brave people, 
 watching the stately ships in battle array. Are they to pass 
 unscathed? Are the English captains, the daring sailors 
 who have borne the English flag around the globe, are they 
 afraid of the' mighty odds? The Armada moves on, the 
 English Admiral lets them pass, and gathers his vessels 
 behind them, between them and the ocean, and bears down 
 upon them with southwest wind. The next morning, the 
 21st of July, he is closing upon their rear. At daybreak 
 the English captains call their brave crews to the deck. They 
 join in this old Church service, the same as yours in this 
 Church. They kneel around the Lord's table, and take the 
 Holy Communion and sing a Psalm, and then they go down 
 to the battle — Howard and Drake and Frobisher and Haw- 
 kins commanding and leading to the figbt, and you know the 
 story, the most gallant episode in modern history. For seven 
 long days and nights they hang on to the rear of the mighty 
 navy of their enemies. Manoeuvering and fighting day and 
 
120 HisTOET Henbico Paeish, 
 
 night, England was watching from the shore. The Spanish 
 Galleons would close around them, but they would shake 
 them off, and speed away upon the wind, and come back and 
 close in again. They fought in four great battles. When the 
 second is over. Sir Francis Drake sends a message to his 
 brave Queen Elizabeth, "Your majesty must pray for us in 
 all the churches in England, and by the help of God we will 
 drive them from the sea." And England was praying in all 
 her churches, the simple, solemn prayer of the old litany 
 that we hear in this Church every Sunday, "Erom our ene- 
 mies defend us, Oh Christ," and the Rrayer was answered, 
 and the proud navy was driven and broken and shattered, 
 and England was saved. And what has that to do, you will 
 ask, with the colonizing of this continent, with Jamestown, 
 with Eichmond, with our Protestant religion in America ? It 
 has this to do : That gallant fight of your forefathers in the 
 British Channel broke the Spanish and the Koman Catholic 
 power on the sea, opened the free ocean for England's civil- 
 ization and religion and people to plant themselves on this 
 continent. But for that the civilization here as far as we can 
 see would have been that of South America, or of Mexico. 
 The Anglo-Saxon race, and the Protestant faith, and the 
 Bible would have been kept back from America perhaps two 
 centuries longer — that was 1588. Nineteen years after that 
 our English forefathers landed and settled at Jamestown in 
 1607 and built the first Church, and the worship of the Eng- 
 lish Litany for the first time awoke the echoes of the wilder- 
 ness in America, and four years after that (1611) Sir 
 Thomas Dale comes over with a goodly company of English, 
 passes Jamestown, pushes up our river, and settles upon the 
 Peninsula that is cut off by what is now known as Dutch 
 Gap ; calls his settlement Henricopolis, after Prince Henry, 
 the eldest son of James the Eirst, builds what was at that 
 time a handsome church, and Whitaker, a clergyman of the 
 English Church, and one of the noblest Christian men of his 
 age, is placed over it as its pastor and rector. That Church 
 is the mother of this, the parish is the same, and "Whitaker 
 is its first minister. He was a graduate of Cambridge Uni- 
 versity. A contemporary thus writes about him: "He Hi 
 voluntarily leave his warm nest, and to the wonder of his 
 
St. John's Chttech. 121 
 
 kindred and tlie amazement of them that knew him, under- 
 take this hard but in my judgment heroical resolution, to go 
 to Virginia and help to bear the name of God unto the Gen- 
 tiles." Whitaker had a warm nest in his old English home ; 
 his friend says it was a wonder and amazement that he came 
 to this wilderness country. That illustrates another historic 
 lesson upon the motives and the spirit of our forefathers in 
 coming to this land. By the kindness of a literary friend I 
 have the recently published volumes by Alexander Brown, 
 an honored citizen of Virginia, a member of the Virginia 
 Historical Society, a member of the American Historical 
 Association, and a fellow of the Eoyal Historical Society of 
 England. Its title is, "The Genesis of the United States." 
 In my judgment it is the most valuable contribution to the 
 history of the origin of our country that has been made dur- 
 ing the present century, made from materials that have been 
 hitherto either inaccessible or unknown to exist. In the last 
 fifty years there has been great advance in the study of his- 
 tory as a science, and it is a matter of congratulation that we 
 have in Virginia this cultured gentleman, who has given and 
 is giving his life to opening the fountains of history in the 
 publication of original manuscript ; so that we need no longer 
 manufacture history out of our own brains or upon the plane 
 of our passions or sectional prejudices, but from the only 
 true sources of historic verities. I find in these volumes a 
 published discourse by the Rev. William Symonds, . of the 
 English Church, delivered at White Chapel, London, deliv- 
 ered in the presence of the Honorable and Worshipful the 
 adventurers and planters for Virginia, the 25th of April, 
 1609, just two years after the settlement at Jamestown. You 
 must think of that congregation as composed of men, some of 
 whom had made up their minds to come to Virginia, some 
 were doubting and hesitating, others were skeptical ; the lead- 
 ing spirits were full of high enthusiasm and religious hope in 
 the enterprise. It was the first discourse ever published in 
 Dehalf of Virginia and the infant colony. It gives you a 
 livmg picture of their feelings that surprises the popular 
 and the ignorant conception of their motives. They were 
 not vulgar adventurers; they were not self-seeking traders. 
 The appeal that is made to them in this sermon is upon the 
 
122 HisTOBT Henmoo Pabish, 
 
 high plain of duty; encouragements to go are drawn from 
 the promise of God, the guidings of Providence and the in- 
 spiration of religious faith. It seems to confirm the propo- 
 sition I announced a few moments ago, that around all great 
 movements in modern history Christianity is an atmosphere 
 and the Church of Christ a leading factor and motive power. 
 The text of the discourse is Qflnesis 12, verses 1, 2, 3 : "For 
 the Lord said unto Abraham, get thee out of thy country, 
 and from thy kindred and from thy father's house, unto the 
 land that I will show thee, and I will make thee a great na- 
 tion, and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed." 
 He expounds his text with stately rhetoric but with the 
 solid sense of our English forefathers. He is answering the 
 various reasons for not going. "One saith England is a sweet 
 country ;" true indeed, and the God of Glory be blessed that 
 whereas the country was wild as a forest and the people were 
 naked, by the civil care of conquerors and jplanters it is now 
 become a very paradise in comparison of what it was. "They 
 shrink from the great deep, that were sure enough perils 
 then." He tells them that Sir Humphrey Gilbert forty years 
 before had told his officers and sailors as their little bark was 
 tossed in the wild storm, "Be of good cheer, my friends, it 
 is as near heaven by sea as by land." I give you these ex- 
 tracts to show that he is moving them to courage and to hope 
 upon grounds of religious faith. Another discourse by Cra- 
 shaw, a distinguished clergyman of the English Church, is 
 preached in London before the company and the emigraats 
 to Virginia in Eebruary, 1610. Of that the historian says: 
 "There is no nobler sermon of the period than this." That 
 comes still nearer to us, for those who listened to it were 
 probably the men who came with D'ale and settled Henri- 
 copolis in 1611. The text is Luke 22d chapter, 32d verse: 
 "But I have prayed for thee, that tiby faith fail not." I have 
 not the time to quote from it to any extent. Its divisions are 
 seven discouragements from going and seven encourage- 
 ments to go. It is full of genuine power and appeals to the . 
 loftiest motives that can move Christian men. It closes 
 with this eloquent salutation to Virginia: "And thou, Vir 
 ginia, whom though mine eyes see not, my heart shall love, 
 how hath God honoured thee ! Thou hast thy name from the 
 
St. John's Chueoh. 123 
 
 worthiest queen that ever the world had, and thou shalt now 
 have thy form from one of the most glorious nations under 
 the sun. But this is only a little portion of thy honor, for 
 thy God is coming towards thee, and in the mean time sends 
 to thee and salutes thee with best blessing Heaven hath, even 
 His blessed Gospel! Look up, therefore, and lift up thy 
 head, for thy redemption draweth nigh ! And He that was the 
 God of Israel and is still the God of England will shortly, I 
 doubt not, bring it to pass that men shall say, blessed be the 
 Lord God of Virginia, and let all Christian people say. 
 Amen." This sermon was printed and distributed to the 
 company, and to all who came here to plant an old Common- 
 wealth. Its title was, "A New Year's Gift to Virginia," and 
 underneath the title was this stately Antiphon: 
 
 ENGLAND TO GOD, 
 
 "LOKD, HEKE I AM, SEND ME." 
 
 GOD TO VIEGINIA. 
 
 "He that walketh in darkness and hath no light, let him 
 trust in the name of the Lord and stay upon his God." 
 
 VIRGINIA TO GOD. 
 
 "God be merciful to us and bless us and cause the light of 
 thy countenance to shine upon us; let thy ways be known 
 upon earth, thy saving health among all nations." 
 
 ENGLAND TO VIRGINIA. 
 
 "Behold I J)ring you glad tidings — ^unto you is bom a 
 Saviour, even Christ the Lord." 
 
 VIRGINIA TO ENGLAND. 
 
 "How beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tid- 
 ings and publish salvation." 
 
 Men to be reached by such noble appeals as that were not 
 men of the common, the baser sort. This same high hearted 
 religious spirit appears in them as we see them again, after 
 they have crossed the Atlantic and landed here, near to us 
 and begin the work of building America. Whitaker writes 
 of Sir Thomas Dale, soon after they land in 1611 : "Our 
 religious and valiant governor, a man of great knowledge in 
 divinity and of a good conscience in all things, both which 
 
124 HiSTOEY Heneico Paeish, 
 
 be rare in a martial man." Again lie writes a few months 
 afterwards: "We preach in the forenoon, catechise in the 
 afternoon; every Saturday I exhort in Sir Thomas Dale's 
 house." In 1612 Pocahontas had been taken prisoner by the 
 English, and Dale is now Governor of the whole colony. He 
 labored long and tenderly to ground the faith of Jesus 
 Christ in the heart of this Indian Princess. He writes about 
 her in 1613: "Were it but for the gaining of this one pre- 
 cious soul, I would think my time, toil and present stay well 
 spent." Whitaker baptizes her, and in April, 1614, marries 
 her to John Eolf e. Very soon after this she and her husband 
 removed to the neighborhood of Henricopolis, not far from 
 Richmond, and there they live until Pocahontas leaves Vir- 
 ginia to die in England. There this famous Indian Prin- 
 cess and gracious child of the wilderness, whose blood flows 
 in the veins of some of your own people to-day, listened to 
 the sermons, joined in the responses of the English Liturgy 
 and knelt at the communion table of this, your old parish, in 
 its infant days. I should think you would always read that 
 passage of your history with tender and loving eyes. Just 
 after this Whitaker writes: "Though my promise of three 
 years' service to my country be expired, I will abide in my 
 vocation here until I be lawfully called from hence." Tour 
 rector, in his admirable summary of the history of the Parish, 
 says : "He was indeed lawfully called by Him whose provi- 
 dence is supreme," within a very short time, for in the spring 
 of 1617 this, our first rector, the gentle and earnest Whita- 
 ker, known to history as the "Apostle of Virginia," was 
 called away by sudden death. In 1619 a successor to the rec- 
 torship, of the Parish is found in the Rev. Thomas Bargrave. 
 During his ministry a law was passed by the Colonial Legis- 
 lature, which illustrates the connection between Church and 
 State, imported to America from the mother country. Per 
 haps some clergyman with small salary and poorly paid, 
 who struggles to do his work and feed and clothe his chil- 
 dren, might find some grim comfort and cool philosophy in 
 this provision and advice of the State to our early mission- 
 aries. The law enacts that each clergyman shall receive 
 from his parishoners 1,500 pounds of tobacco and 16 barrels 
 of corn, quite a good provision for the times. But the lav 
 
St. John^s CHtTECH. 125 
 
 proceeds to say that if the levy should prove unequal in value 
 to 200 pounds the minister must be content -with less. On 
 the one side it was doubtless a signal advantage to the Epis- 
 copal Church in its infancy to receive the support of the 
 State as the established Church ; on the other hand there were 
 disadvantages from that (to our American ideas) unnatural 
 connection, which hindered its development and progres- 
 sively weakened its power with the masses of the people up 
 to the period of the Revolution, when the connection was dis- 
 solved. The Wardens of the Episcopal Church, under the 
 laws of the State, discharged in a measure the duties of our 
 chief of police and of your attorneys for the Commonwealth. 
 They were the legal guardians of public, order and peace, 
 and the vindicators of justice. When these officers repre- 
 sent, as among us, the sovereignty of the people as the foun- 
 tain of law, and when they discharge that duty faithfully, 
 they ought to be among the most honored and popular of our 
 citizens. Transfer that function to the officers of your 
 churches and at once you would realize the inevitable 
 estrangement of the hearts of the people from the church 
 by reason of the unnatural coalition and identification of 
 civic and ecclesiastical functions. 
 
 The Episcopal Church suffered from this prejudice from 
 no fault of its ovra. N^ay, it is a part of the debt of gratitude 
 that all of our citizens of every denomination owe to her, 
 that in our early days she bore this burden and discharged 
 this thankless duty that had been imposed upon her with 
 becoming fidelity. With the time at my disposal I might 
 tell you the story of the life of this Parish from 1619 to the 
 building of this Church in 1Y41 ; of the great university for 
 which the money had almost been raised in England and in 
 the Colony, which would have been located at Senricopolis, 
 or perhaps here in Eichmond ; of the great calamity of the 
 Indian massacre in 1622, which swept over the Colony, 
 destroyed Henricopolis and almost extinguished the Parish 
 and put an end to the scheme of the universily. The Parish 
 revives from the calamity, struggles on with its ups and 
 downs, its changes and vicissitudeSj recording here and there 
 noble work from faithful jpastorSj and noble sacrifice and 
 devotion from its members. When your vestry book was 
 
126 HisTOET Heneico Paeish, 
 
 begun in 1730, the principal Church in the Parish was 
 Curies Church, on the north side of James river, ten miles 
 below Richmond. That Church has been demolished in the 
 last half century. The only relic of it that remains is the 
 bowl of your baptismal font. It was found miles away from 
 the site of Curies Church in a cellar, where it was used as 
 a mortar for beating hominy. And here it is to hold the 
 sacred symbol of the waters of baptism, wherein God de- 
 clares your children to be His children, and the Holy Spirit 
 His gift to them, and Christ's redemption their glorious pos- 
 session. In 1739, under the ministry of the Rev. Wm. Stith, 
 the grandson of William Randolph, of Turkey Island, who 
 had received the best education that America and England 
 could give, and who afterwards became the historian of Vir- 
 ginia, the plan for building a new church was agitated. After 
 some debate, and acting under the advice of William Byrd, 
 a distinguished gentleman of the Colony, who gave the lana, 
 the Vestry of Henrico Parish chose this spot, called Indian 
 Hill, in Richmond. Under the superintendence of Richard 
 Randolph it was built and entered for worship on the lOth 
 of June, 1741, one hundred and fifty years ago to-day. 
 Your kind rector and friends, who take a loving pride in the 
 honored memories of the Parish, have pointed out to you and 
 to visitors from all parts of our country, who never leave 
 Richmond without a visit, to St. John's Church, the lines, 
 the walls and the dimensions of that old Church. It has 
 been added to and altered since, but the old bricks, the pulpit, 
 the sounding board, the timbers and the forms are all here in 
 this building where we worship to-day. It stands here and 
 does its blessed work for the infant days of Richmoild, train- 
 ing its children, marrying its young men and maidens, bury- 
 ing its dead, and breaking the bread of life to its people 
 through the colony days until the cloud of the Revolution 
 breaks upon the land. The Virginia Convention of 1775 
 met in these walls on the 20th of March. Mr. Selden, the 
 rector, and the ancestor of many of your worthiest families 
 to-day, is the chaplain of that famous Convention. It is com- 
 posed of remarkable men for any age or any country. Our 
 children are familiar with the great debate upon the question 
 of peace or. war with the mother country. Yonder is th^ 
 
St. John's Chusch. 127 
 
 spot, tradition tells us, where Patrick Henry, tlie greatest 
 natural orator of his time, arose and uttered the words that 
 feAaps told more upon the world than anj single speech 
 that history tells us of. They tell us that his voice was calm 
 when he began, but when he closed it shook the walls of this 
 old church, and sounded like the shout of a warrior. When 
 he sat down the assembly had lost its composure; they all 
 leaned over and kept still, their eyes fixed on his pale face, 
 and then by common consent, the die was cast and Virginia 
 cast in her lot and led the cause which triumphed in the 
 establishment of popular government and American liberty. 
 Before the eight year war was done, this old Church passed 
 through an'experience of desecration and humiliation. When 
 Kichmond, during the Revolutionary War, fell into the 
 hands of Arnold, this sacred place was made a barracks for 
 the British soldiery. It must have seemed to pastor and peo- 
 ple that the final word in their parochial history was then 
 being written. But the storm passes away and the sun comes 
 out again, and the old Church takes its place as the leader of 
 the affairs of the Church in Virginia. In May of 1785 the 
 convention of the reorganized Diocese of Virginia was held 
 in Eichmond, and its religious service was held in this 
 church, the sermon being preached by the Rev. John 
 Bracken. Edmund Randolph, afterwards Governor of Vir- 
 ginia and then Attorney-General of the United States, and 
 then Secretary of State, and pilot at the helm of government 
 in its first voyage over untried and stormy seas — ^this man 
 was the lay delegate of your Church in that important Con- 
 vention. He drew up this remarkable appeal to the members 
 of the Episcopal Church in Virginia, representing its wasted 
 condition, and exhorting them to rally to its support. In it 
 occurs the sentence which has become famous in Church his- 
 tory : "Of what is the Church now possessed ? l^othing but 
 the glebes and your affections." Randolph also reported and 
 advocated resolutions that were passed ^ this Virginia Con- 
 vention with the members of the Protestant Episcopal 
 Church in the other States of America! For thirty years 
 the Eev. Mr. Buchanan ministered in this Church ; years of 
 depression they were for your Parish, but years of brave and 
 cheerful and self-denying work for your pastor. A kindly 
 
128 HisTOET Heneico Paeish, 
 
 and genial book has been published here in Richmond telling 
 us of the loving brotherhood between your rector, Dr. Buch- 
 anan, and the Eev. John Blair, Presbyterian minister in this 
 city. The Church was loaned to our sister Church, and each 
 minister, Blair the Presbyterian, and Buchanan the Episco- 
 palian, ministered to their respective congregations on alter- 
 nate Sundays. It may be that the kindly relations between 
 these two pastors of different churches may have helped to 
 transmit to our people in Richmond a spirit of sweet reason- 
 ableness and of kindly brotherhood between the various 
 denominations of Christians. To this simple beginning, under 
 the blessing of God, may be traced perhaps a stream of 
 higher Christian civilization upon the subject of the rela- 
 tions between the various Protestant Churches of Christen- 
 dom than we find in some other communities. The Church 
 that asserts exclusive claims for its ministry, its worship, its 
 organization, is unconsciouslv to itself its own worst enemy. 
 The Church that believes in itself, is loyal to itself, but loves 
 and believes in and welcomes with a brother's fidelity the 
 sister churches around it, is the Church for the people of 
 our land. The time would fail me to tell more of the story 
 of the rectors who have ministered, to the generations through 
 all the years of the present century — of the Rev. William 
 Hart, who comes after the death of Dr. Buchanan in 1822, 
 who seems to have been among the first of the Christian min- 
 istry in our country to recognize the power and the blessing 
 of Sunday school work as the nursery of the Christian 
 Church. Then the Rev. William Lee, who becomes rector 
 in 1828, and under whose ministry tie Church takes the 
 name of "St. John's" ; of the Rev. Edward Peet, the Eev. 
 Robt. Croes, the Rev. J. H. Morrison, and of the Rev. Henry 
 S. Kepler, of the Rev. John T. Points, the devoted mission- 
 ary who occupied the rectorship in succession from 1830 to 
 1860; of the Rev. Dr. Norwood, who begins his ministry 
 in 1862 and resigns the rectorship in 1868 — ^years of tribu- 
 lation, but years when your people were making names in 
 history that are never going to die. Dr. iSTorwood's form, 
 his face, his strong words in this pulpit, his faithful pas- 
 torate, are all living in the memories and the hearts of your 
 people to-day. Then comes Dr. Henry Wall, of whom you 
 
St. John's Chubch. 129 
 
 say that his preaching was full of grace and power. He 
 leaves you in 1875. Then conies the Eev. Alexander W. 
 Weddell; you can tell me more about him than I could tell 
 you. He had high aims and a manly heart, a lofty enthu- 
 siasm in the work of ministering to souls. You have put a 
 beautiful monument at the door of your church that tells 
 in eloquent words the record that he made among you. For 
 jotv children's sake may God keep his memory green, and 
 here your old church has stood, all through these years that 
 we have travelled. It has been looking down from this hill 
 upon Richmond and seen all the stages of its life. It has 
 rejoiced in the birthdays and in the cornerstone laying of 
 all these other churches, its children. On the hill by the 
 river it has watched the sure growth of your beautiful city 
 of the dead, and through the trees it has caught glimpses 
 from its tower of the marble monuments, in the morning and 
 the evening sunshine. Down beneath, the scattered village 
 of the colony is growing into a city ; far out on the landscape 
 iron roads are coming year by year to bring commerce to its 
 merchants and custom to its industries. The hum of ma- 
 chinery, the multitudinous sounds of a city have been grow- 
 ing deeper year by year, as they have been borne up to the 
 _ old Church on the hill. How wonderful is the moral, and 
 spiritual significance of a city. Some one has said: God 
 _ made the country, man made the city ; but God made the city, 
 , too. The city is His ordinance for the necessities of human 
 civilization. He ordained it to be the workshop for the 
 country ; the point where the commodities of all climes meet 
 and thence are distributed to the peoples and t^e nations. 
 And it is His ordinance that it is also the type and the 
 prophecy of the final destiny of a redeemed humanity, of a 
 city not made with hands, eternal in the heavens, its throng- 
 ing toilers, its great charities, its courts of justice, its halls 
 of education, and of legislation, its blessed homes, its sor- 
 rows, its sins, its shame, and amid them all its Churches, 
 pointing away, pointing upward. What is a city but a real- 
 |ization, a living symbol of a world that is fallen, but a world 
 that has been redeelned ? And the Church of Christ the 
 ^Saviour of men, how it stands at the centre of all the activities 
 and varied life of the city, how it interprets the city to itseK, 
 y 
 
130 HisTOEY Heneico Paeish, 
 
 how the home finds its meaning in the Church, to train ita 
 children to be members of Christ and His children, how the 
 weary toiler, the merchant harassed with his cares in the 
 week come to the Church on Sunday to drink of the springs 
 of Elim in the worship and the word of God, to refresh him. 
 How the dens of shame, the homes of the prodigal look away 
 and up to the Church dimly and gropingly and cry, "Come 
 to us, seek us, save us, for we are lost." Such is a city; such 
 is the Church that stands in its midst. In closing, let me 
 point to one or two lessons that St. John's teaches us to-day. 
 It teaches us to persevere, it teaches us to hold on, it teaches 
 us that the day of our' usefulness and our work as a Church 
 may seem to be at an end, but we must be patient. God has 
 work for us to do. Three times in its history its Vestry 
 and its people were about to move away and build a new 
 church, but the providence of God kept it here. When the 
 Monumental is built you said, "That will take away our life," 
 and it seemed to do it for a long time. When St. Paul's is 
 built you said, "Our fate is sealed, we must not expect our 
 people to pass by these beautiful Churches and come miles 
 away to worship in these old walls." But the old Monu- 
 mental is new and strong, and full of Gospel life, and St. 
 Paul's is strong and beautiful, and old St. John's is here still 
 — ^more vigorous in its old age a long way than in its youth, 
 warmer vnth the spirit of Christ than it was in the morning 
 of its life, doing a wider work than it has ever done before. 
 The lesson is, hold on ; the tide may ebb to-night but it comes 
 in glad and strong in the morning. And then St. John's has 
 its lesson to the country, to' our loved land on this its one 
 hundred and fiftieth birthday. You remember the name of 
 the man I mentioned who superintended the building of these 
 walls in 1741. You remember again the same family name 
 of the man, the layman who represented you in the impor- 
 tant councils of the Church after the Kevolution. These men 
 were great grandsons of one of the earliest members of your 
 Parish. A simple, strong, true man he must have been; out 
 of his loins sprang three great men. He was the ancestor of 
 Chief Justice Marshall, the greatest jurist of America. He 
 was the ancestor of Thomas Jefferson, the greatest political 
 thinker of America. He was the ancestor of Robert K.Iee) 
 
St. John^s Ohuboh. 131 
 
 the greatest soldier of America. He was also the ancestor 
 of that other statesman who was Junior Warden after the 
 Kevolution, and who represented you in the Diocesan Council 
 of your Church, and whom, though much misunderstood, I 
 regard as one of the greatest and purest of American poli- 
 ticians. Strange that they all should have come of the off- 
 spring of this simple strong man, who lived at Turkey Island, 
 just below our city. St. John's to-day reminds its country 
 of old days of plain living and high thinking, and speaks 
 words of warning to these days, when greed of gain threatens 
 to paralize the intellect and corrupt the heart and under- 
 mine the foundations of the nation. It tells of days of 
 political purity to these days of strange and defiant and 
 shocking political corruption. It speaks words of hope, too, 
 to its dear country. It says, I have had my dark days and 
 have seen the light break through the clouds. Trust God — 
 trust in the people led by the spirit of God. Tmst your 
 godly mothers to teach the children the ten commandments. 
 Trust your godly fathers to teach your boys to keep their 
 bodies in temperance, soberness and chastity. Trust youiiS 
 churches and stand by them as they raise the standards 
 against the enemies that come in like a flood. Remember the 
 Sabbath day to keep it holy. Love your neighbor as yourself 
 and reform and redeem your country by first getting the 
 spirit of Christ to reform and redeem you. That is St. 
 John's message of hope to America. It speaks to us to-day 
 of the permanency of the Christian Church and Gospel.' 
 Other institutions may grow old, like machines and old 
 vehicles that are superseded by the forces of nature that we 
 harness to do man's work and to turn the wheels of his mate- 
 rial progress^ but steam and electricity, natural selection 
 and evolution, science and wealth cannot cure the soul. Each 
 new soul that is born begins from the beginning; each new 
 generation has the same temptation to fight ; makes the same 
 mistakes ; wanders into the same errors ; makes the same ship- 
 wreck. Sin and sorrow and death are always the same, 
 always new, .and the Church of the living God, and that 
 brings to the nations the healing leaves of the tree, of life, 
 must stand to tell men of the fountain for sin and of the hope 
 of redemption and of the gift of the Spirit. 
 
132 HiSTOKY Heneico Paeish, 
 
 God bless you, dear old Church, minister and people, and 
 give you in the coming years, when Richmond may widen 
 out into a great city, a still wider field for your activities and 
 blessings more abundant to crown your work. Keep close to 
 the promise, "Lo I am with you always, even unto the end of 
 the world." 
 
ADDRESS 
 
 Delivered by Hon. William Wirt Henry, 
 
 GEAHDSON OF PATEIOK HENET^ AT OLD ST. JOHN's CHUECHj 
 JUNE 10, 1891, 150th AKinVBESAET. 
 
 Few buildings in our land have witlistood the varied casu- 
 alties of time for one hundred years ; very few have remained 
 for one hundred and fifty years. We would fain believe 
 that a special providence has watched over and preserved this 
 frail wooden structure since 1741, when it was erected, and 
 kept it as a sacred shrine, where piety and patriotism have 
 mingled their devotions. It is most appropriate that this 
 generation should be reminded of its history by these exer- 
 cises, and their veneration be quickened in recalling the im- 
 portant events in Church and State of which it stands as a 
 witness. In attempting to perform the part with which I 
 have been honored on this interesting occasion, I shall be 
 forced to take but a hurried view of the civil events, and of 
 the distinguished actors in them, which have made this the 
 most memorable building which remains in our State. Any 
 attempt to do full justice to the subject would far transcend 
 the limits of an address and would reach the proportions of 
 a volimie. 
 
 In the Vestry Book of Henrico Parish the following entries 
 are found : 
 
 "At a Vestry held for Henrico Parish, on the 20th day of 
 December, Anno 1Y39: Present — ^Mr. William Stith, Min- 
 ister ; James Powell Cocke and James Cocke, Church War- 
 dens; Richard Eandolph, John Bedford, John Povall, James 
 Williamson, William Fuller and Bobert Mosby, Gent., Ves- 
 trymen. It is agreed that a Church be built on the most con- 
 venient spot of ground near ye spring, on Eichardson's Boad, 
 
134 HiSTORT Henkico Paeish, 
 
 on the south side of Bacon's Branch, on the land of the Hon- 
 orable William Byrd, Esq., to be sixty feet long and twenty- 
 five feet broad, and fourteen feet pitched, to be finished in a 
 plain manner after the moddle of Curl's Church. Richard 
 Randolph, Esq., Gent, undertakes the said building and 
 engages to finish the same by the tenth day (jf June, which 
 shall be in the year of our Lord seventeen hundred and 
 forty-one ; for which the Yestry agrees to pay him the sum of 
 three hundred and seventeen pounds, ten shillings, current 
 money, to be paid by the amount of sales of twenty thousand 
 pounds of tobacco annually, to be lev'd on the Parish and 
 sold here for money, till the whole payment be compleat." 
 
 "At a Vestry held for Henrico Parish, the 13th day of 
 October, Anno Dom. 1740: Present — Mr. William Stith, 
 clerk; James Powel Cocke, James Cocke, Gent., Church 
 Wardens, Richard Randolph, John Redford, Bowler Cocke, 
 John Williamson and Wm. Fuller, Gent., Vestrymen. 
 
 "Richard Randolph, Gentleman, produces a letter directed 
 to him, from the Hon'ble William Byrd, Esquire, which is 
 read as foUoweth, viz. : 
 
 " 'October 12, 1740. 
 
 " 'Sir, — I should, with great pleasure, oblige the Vestry, 
 and particularly yourself, in granting them an acre to build 
 their Church upon, but there are so many roads already 
 through that land, that the damage to me would be great to 
 have another of a mile long cut through it. I shall be very 
 glad if you would please to think Richmond a prober place, 
 and considering the great number of people that live below 
 it, and would pay their devotions there, that would not care 
 to go so much higher, I can't but think it would be agreeable 
 to most of the people ; and if they will agree to have it there, 
 I will give them two of the best lots, that are not taken up, 
 and besides give them any pine timber' they can find on that 
 side of Shockoe Creek, and wood for burning of bricks into 
 the bargain. I hope the Gent, of the Vestry will believe me a 
 friend to the Church when I make them the offer, and that 
 I am both theirs, sir, and, 
 
 'Your most humble serv't, W. Bted.' 
 
 "Whereupon the question is put whether the said Church 
 
St. John's Chueoh. 135 
 
 should be built on the hill called Indian Town at Richmond, 
 or at Thomas Williamson's plantation on the Brook Eoad, 
 and is carried by a majority of voices for the former. 
 
 "It is thereupon ordered that the Church, formerly agreed 
 to be built by Eichard Randolph, Gent., on the south side of 
 Bacon's Branch, be built on Indian Town at Richmond, after 
 the same manner as in the said former agreement, was men- 
 tioned." 
 
 "At a Vestry held at Richmond Town, on Tuesday, the 
 8th day of December, 1YY2, for laying the Parish levy: 
 Present — The Rev. Miles Selden, Richard Randolph, Samuel 
 Duval, Jos. Lewis, Rich'd Adams, Daniel Price, George Cox 
 and Turner Southall, Vestrymen. 
 
 "It is the opinion of the Vestry that an addition of forty 
 feet in length and the same width as the present Church at 
 Richmond, be built to it, at the north side, witli gallery on 
 both sides, and one end, with proper windows above and 
 below ; and ordered that the Church Wdns lett to the lowest 
 bidder the said addition." 
 
 These entries mark the erection and enlargement of the 
 venerable building, the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary 
 of whose existence we this day celebrate. 
 
 Let us turn the clock of time back one hundred and fifty 
 years, and contemplate for a few moments our surroundings. 
 
 Frederick the second, afterwards known as Frederick the 
 Great, had just mounted the throne of Prussia, and without 
 provocation had made an attack upon Austria, which proved 
 to be the signal for a general European war, lasting seven 
 years, and known as the war of the "Austrian succession," 
 as it involved the right of Maria Theresa to the throne of 
 Austria. The weak and prodigal Louis XV. was king of 
 France, and the corruptions of the nobility and priests, to- 
 gether -v^ith their oppressions of the peasantry, were fast 
 kindling the sulphurious flames which burst forth in the 
 terrible revolution of the last of the century. His nephew, 
 Philip of Anjou, was king of Spain, and thus the two king- 
 doms were linked together by Bourbon rulers, a fact destined 
 : to be of great importance in the history of Europe. Peter 
 the Great was in his grave, and his daughter, Elizabeth, ruled 
 
136 HiSTOET HJEiirEico Paeish, 
 
 over the people he had elevated to a position among the great 
 kingdoms of this world. 
 
 George II. was in the midst of his long reign in England, 
 and was taking sides with his nephew, Frederick of Prussia. 
 The strife raging in Europe had extended to America, where 
 the English were at war with the Spanish and French. Thus 
 all the world, so far as Virginia was brought in contact with 
 it, was at war. 
 
 The political firmanent of England was undergoing im- 
 portant changes. The corrupting influence of the celebrate^: 
 Sir Eobert Walpole was on the decline, and Wm. Pitt was 
 rising in prominence, and already acknowledged to be the 
 greatest of British orators, was soon to prove himself to be 
 the greatest of English ministers. 
 
 Dissent from the established Church was growing apace, 
 the first steps towards religious liberty having been taken in 
 the act of Parliament of 1689, granting religious toleration. 
 John Wesley and George Whitfield were stirring the religious 
 world to its depths, and founding what is now one of the 
 strongest of religious denominations. 
 
 In nothing was Virginia more dependent on England than 
 in literature. Pope and Swift had finished their life work, 
 and were rapidly hastening to their graves. Samuel John- 
 son was growing in reputation, but still struggling with pov- 
 erty. Defoe, Kichardson, Fielding, Thomson, Kamsey, 
 Addison and Steele had won commanding positions in Eng- 
 lish literature, and delighted the Virginians, no less than the 
 residents of England, with the charming productions of their 
 pens. 
 
 Hogarth was giving to the world those inimitable draw- 
 ings, satirizing vice, which have immortalized him. 
 
 Du Fay had, by his experiments, lately brought ^into 
 notice the study of electricity, soon to be taken up and greatly 
 enlarged by Benjamin Franklin, and destined to grow in 
 importance, till now mankind utilizes the subtle fluid in the 
 generation of heat, light and locomotion. 
 
 Kepler and Newton had not been long in their graves, the 
 first having with almost incredible labor and patience dis- 
 covered the laws which regulate the motions of the heavenly 
 bodies, and the second having added the great discoveries con- 
 
St. John's Chtjech. 137 
 
 tained in the (Principia), the two having extorted from 
 nature her dearest secrets, and laid the foundation for the 
 wonderful knowledge we Jiave of astronomy and natural 
 philosophy. 
 
 John Locke had performed the same office for moral phi- 
 losophy in his memorahle essay on the human tmderstanding, 
 and Bishop Butler had erected an imperishable bulwark to 
 Christianity in his immortal "Analogy." 
 
 At home we find ourselves in the midst of a most interest- 
 ing period. William Gooch was Grovernor of Virginia, which 
 contained about 300,000 inhabitants, of which about 125,000 
 were slaves. He had just agreed that the Scotch-Irish might 
 settle the valley and enjoy religious liberty; under which 
 agreement a bold stream of that hardy race soon poured down 
 the valley and overflowed the Alleghanies, not only protect- 
 ing the Eastern settlements from the savage foe, but in a 
 few years controlling the political destinies of the colony. 
 
 A band of 400 Virginians, commanded by the Governor, 
 had just returned from the disastrous expedition against the 
 city of Carthagena, where the discord between Admiral 
 Vernon, commanding the English fleet, and Gen. Wentworth, 
 commanding the attacking army, resulted in the sacrifice of 
 so many brave men, and the failure of the expedition. The 
 Virginians had nothing to console them but the fact that they, 
 with Lawrence Washington as a leader, had displayed the 
 greatest bravery in holding their position under a destructive 
 fire of several hours. The expedition would have been gladly 
 relegated to oblivion by the Virginians had not Captain 
 Washington named his home on the Potomac after the 
 Admiral and afterwards made it the home of the father of 
 his country. 
 
 The Spaniards, taking the offensive, had marched from 
 Florida upon the settlers in Georgia, and been repulsed by 
 Gen. Oglethorpe, the head of that colony, then but lately 
 planted. 
 
 Virginia had advanced rapidly in the development of her 
 agricultural and mineral resources during the government of 
 Governor Gooch^ and of his distinguished predecessor. Gen- 
 eral Alexander Spotswood, and her tobacco had already 
 become the source of great wealth, and was destined to be her 
 
138 History Henrico Parish, 
 
 mainstay in the troublous times which were to follow. It 
 had at this time come to the aid of specie as a medium of 
 exchange in the business of the colony. In 1736 the first 
 newspaper was published in Virginia at Williamsburg. It 
 was a weekly issue and called "The Virginia Gazette." A 
 weekly post carried it northward, and a monthly post carried 
 it southward. 
 
 Looking more immediately to our surroundings on this 
 spot, we find. that the "Hill called Indian Town," as it is 
 described by the Vestry, was so called because of an Indian 
 settlement, which doubtless was found by Capt. Newport, 
 John Smith and their companions, when they first explored 
 the river to the falls, within a few days after landing at 
 Jamestown in 1607. This settlement remained for years, 
 and was broken up probably by one of the exterminating 
 attacks of the whites, which gave the name of Bloody Eun to 
 the little stream which runs near by. Here on the north side 
 of the river lay the quarter plantation of Nathaniel Bacon, 
 Jr., at which the murder of his servant and overseer occurred, 
 which caused that accomplished but impulsive man to make 
 war on the murderous Indians against the order of the Gov- 
 ernor, and gave rise to the celebrated Bacon's Eebellion of 
 1676. 
 
 After the death of Bacon the Legislature in 1679 granted 
 this in a large tract on both sides of the river, extending five 
 miles in length and three and a half miles in width, to Capt. 
 William Byrd, on condition that he settle on it not less than 
 250 tytheables, who were to be ever ready for military ser- 
 vice against the Indians. 
 
 In the year 1682, the fear of the Indians having ceased, 
 the military force was disbanded and a trading post was 
 established, and afterwards a tobacco warehouse was erected 
 and called "Shockoes." In 1733 Col. Wm. Byrd, the son of 
 Capt. Wm. Byrd, having inherited the lands at the falls of 
 the James, determined to lay off a city at Shockoes, to be 
 called Richmond. Major Mayo agreed to lay out the lots. 
 In 1737 Col. Byrd advertised for settlers for the new town, 
 and in May, 1742, the General Assembly incorporated it, 
 and gave it the privilege of holding two fairs a year for four 
 years. 
 
St. John's Chtjech, 139 
 
 Col. Wm. Bjrd, to whose generosity the Parish was in- 
 debted for a site for the Church, was the most remarkable 
 Virginian of his day. He was a man of vast fortune, lived 
 at Westover in a style of hospitable splendor before unknown 
 in the colony, had collected the largest private library in 
 America, which included a copy of the records of the London 
 Company which settled Virginia, and was the most learned 
 man in the colony. His writings display not only great 
 learning, but true wit, and sometimes biting sarcasm and 
 ridicule. His journal as commissioner to run the dividing 
 line with North Carolina has become celebrated. He did 
 not survive the completion of the Church more than three 
 years, and lies buried in the garden at Westover under a 
 marble monument which bears th^ following inscription and 
 epitome of his life : 
 
 "Here lieth the Honorable William Byrd, Esq. Being bom 
 to one of the amplest fortunes in this country, he was sent 
 early to England for his education, where, under the care and 
 direction of Sir Eobert Southwell, and ever favored with his 
 particular instructions, he made a happy proficiency in 
 polite and various learning. By the means of the same noble 
 friend he wag introduced to the acquaintance of many of the 
 first persons of that age for knowledge, wit, virtue, birth or 
 Ugh station, .and particularly contracted a most intimate and 
 bosom friendship with the learned and illustrious Charles 
 Boyle, Earl of Orrery. He was called to the bar in the mid- 
 dle Temple ; Studied for some time in the Low Countries, 
 visited the Court of France, and was chosen Eellow of the 
 Royal Society. Thus eminently fitted for the service and 
 Ornament of his Country, he was made Keceiver General of 
 ni8 Majesty's revenues here; was thrice appointed public 
 agent to the Court and Ministry of England; and being 
 thirty-seven years a member, at last became President of the 
 Council of this Colony. To all this were added a great 
 elegancy of taste and life,, the well bred gentleman and polite 
 companion, the splendid economist and prudent father of a 
 tamily; withal the constant enemy of all exorbitant power, 
 and hearty friend to the liberties of his country." 
 
 < Next to Col. Wm. Byrd, the Eev. Wm. Stith, the Eector of 
 
140 HisTOBT Henbico Paeish, 
 
 the Parish, was the most accomplished man in the Colony. 
 He was at this time living at Varina, and preparing his ad- 
 mirable history of Virginia; for the materials of which he 
 was confessedly greatly indebted to Col. Byrd. His culture 
 and piety caused him to be transferred from his Parish to 
 the Presidency of William and Mary College in 1752, which 
 position he held till his death, in 1765. 
 
 Eichard Eandolph, who undertook the building of the 
 church, was also a man of mark. He lived at Cjirls, and 
 had erected the church there, which was taken as a model 
 for the original of this building. He was the son of Wm. 
 Eandolph, of Turkey Island, and he married Jane Boiling, 
 the great-great-grand-daughter of Pocahontas. He was a 
 member of the House of Burgesses from Henrico, Treasurer 
 of the Colony, and the grandfather of the celebrated John 
 Eandolph of Eoanoke. He died in 1748 while on a visit 
 to England. 
 
 Concerning the other Vestrymen who were present when 
 the building of the church was determined on, we know but 
 little. James and Bowier Cocke were successively clerks of 
 Henrico coimty. John Povall and Eobert Mosby were kin 
 to if not the ancestors of the talented Valentine family of 
 our city, to which belongs the distinguished sculptor. Thomas 
 Williamson, whose plantation on the Brook Eoad competed 
 for the site of the church, and John and James Williamson, 
 of the Vestry, were of the family whence is descended Miss 
 Amanda Williamson, now the widow of John Stuart, de- 
 ceased, whose beautiful home. Brook Hill, was doubtless, a 
 part of Thomas Williamson's plantation. 
 
 In the course of years this became the principal church in 
 the Parish, and after being designated successively as tli'e 
 "Upper Church," the "Church at Eichmond," "Heniif 
 Church," the "Church on Eichmond Hill," finally, about t£e 
 year 1829, was named "St. John's." 
 
 Since its erection some of the most important events in 
 human history have taken place. Civil and religious liberty 
 have advanced beyond all previous experience, not alone in 
 America, but throughout Christendom. The thirteen feeble 
 colonies, with some two and a half millions of inhabitants, 
 have shaken off their connection with England, and hare 
 
St. John's Chtjech. 141 
 
 ^^stituted themselves into a grand republic, which has 
 grown till it now stretches from the lakes to the Rio Grande, 
 and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and has sixty-five mil- 
 lions of inhabitants. Science has advanced in every depart- 
 ment along the path pointed out by Sir Francis Bacon, until 
 the human race may be said to live in a different world from 
 that of our forefathers of a hundred and fifty years ago. 
 Steam and electricity have made neighbors of the most dis- 
 tant nations, and the very destructiveness of the new imple- 
 ments of war has become the guarantee of peace. Chris- 
 tianity has advanced in the forefront of the world's progress, 
 and now has a lodgment in everv quarter of the globe. 
 I Could this old building speak, what a tale it would tell; 
 not only of happeniners of the outside world, but of those in 
 and around itself ! 
 
 Doubtless of all the secular events which it has witnessed, 
 the first it would speak of, as beini? the most important, 
 would be the famous Convention which met within its walls 
 on the 20th of March, 1Y75, and with which its name will be 
 forever associated. 
 
 ^ Let us look for a moment at the stirring events which 
 brought that celebrated body of men together. 
 
 By the peace of Paris in 1763, England was left in pos- 
 session of the whole North American Continent east of the 
 Mississippi river, except the portion bordering on the Gulf 
 of Mexico known as the Floridas. The wars she had been so 
 long engaged in, had exhausted her treasury, and she sought 
 to force her American Colonies, against all precedent, to con- 
 tribute to her relief by a. tax known as the Stamp Act, im- 
 posed by Parliament, a body in which the Colonies were not 
 represented. This tax the Virginia House of Burgesses, in 
 May, 1765, denounced as unconstitutional, null and void, 
 and their resolutions ^.roused the Continent to the violent 
 resistance of its enforcement. Finding it impossible to col- 
 lect the tax, Parliament repealed the act, but in doing so 
 reasserted its right to tax the Colonies. , Later it attempted 
 to collect a revenue by a duty on tea, and the effort met with 
 opposition throughout America, and with such violence at 
 Boston that the King, in order to make an example of the 
 town, occupied it with British soldiers and closed the port. 
 
142 HisTOBT Henbico Pabish, 
 
 At the same time the Colonial Govermnent of Massachusetts 
 was changed and her liberties were restricted. 
 
 In this condition of affairs the Colonies became alarmed 
 for their rights and a General Congress was called, at the 
 instance of Virginia, which met at Philadelphia in Septem- 
 ber in 1774: to consult as to the best steps to be taken to 
 obtain the repeal of the oppressive acts of the British Govern- 
 ment, under which their liberties were so sorely threatened. 
 That celebrated body, upon which Lord Chatham and other 
 English statesmen passed the highest encomiums, formu- 
 lated a statement of the rights claimed by the Colonies; and 
 among other able papers addressed communications to the 
 people of Great Britain, to Parliament, and to the King, urg- 
 ing the repeal of the obnoxious acts. As an earnest of their- 
 determination to stand by those rights, they fixed on certain 
 days for the stopping of all imports and exports in case their 
 appeal was not heeded. It was the general expectation of 
 the people and of their leaders that these measures would 
 result in the repeal of the acts and the relief of Massachu- 
 setts. But there were one or two among the leaders who had 
 properly estimated the stubbornness of the King and the sub- 
 serviency of Parliament on the one hand, and the inflexible 
 determination of the Americans on the other, and saw that 
 war would be the inevitable consequence. 
 
 A few months after the adjournment of the Congress the 
 Virginia Convention convened to hear the report of its p'ro- 
 ceedings, and to deliberate on the political situation. It met 
 in Kichmond and in this church. The bitter hostility of 
 Governor Dunmore to the patriotic cause made it unsafe to 
 meet in Williamsburg, the capital of the Colony, and the 
 importance and sacredness of the cause which brought the 
 body together made it appropriate that they should delibe^ 
 ate in the sanctuary of God, to whom they humbly looked 
 for guidance upon the sea of troubles on which they were 
 launched. This the pious patriotism of the Vestry recog- 
 nized, and dffered to the Convention this, doubtless the larg- 
 est building in the tovm. The interest in its deliberation waa 
 intense throughout the Colony, and many came from far and 
 near to witness its action. The list of the members who

 These were all well tried patriots, who did not hesitate to 
 risk their lives in attending what was denounced by the Roy- 
 alists as a revolutionary body. As the Governor had fre- 
 quently dissolved the House of Burgesses during the con- 
 tyoversy with England, when they uttered sentiments not in 
 accordance with his own, the patriots had fallen on the plan 
 of holding conventions, which were not under hig authority, 
 and consequently were held by him to be treasonable. 
 ■ No'Virginian can read this roll without a feeling of pride ; 
 ^ for in all the annals of history no State has been able to col- 
 lect in one deliberative body so many men of pure lives, of 
 unselfish patriotism, and of the highest order of genius. 
 The race and the civilization which could produce such a 
 body of men at one period may well be held up to the admira- 
 tion of the world. 
 
 The members came together in ignorance of the effect of 
 the papers of Congress in England ; indeed, their latest in- 
 formation was contained in a letter of 14th December, 17Y4, 
 relating the gracious reception by the King of the address to 
 Wm; and adding that, "The buzz at court is, that all the 
 
 10 
 
146 History Heneico Parish, 
 
 acts will be repealed, except the admiralty and declaratory," 
 which had not been considered very grievous. 
 
 The Convention organized bv electing the venerable Peyton 
 Randolph president, who had just presided over the Conti- 
 nental Congress. He was escorted to a chair placed where 
 the eastern door of the building is at present. 
 
 The Eev. Miles Selden, the rector of this church, was 
 then requested to act as chaplain to the Convention. The 
 body next recorded their hearty approval of the proceedings 
 of Congress, and their thanks to the Virginia delegation for 
 the faithful discharge of the very Important trust imposed 
 on them. On the third day a petition and memorial of the 
 Assembly of the Island of Jamaica, addressed to the King, 
 was laid before the Convention and read. It ably defended 
 American rights, but indicated Toryism in tracing all colonial 
 rights to the King, and denied that the Colonists ever would 
 attempt forcible resistance to Great Britain, dwelling at the 
 same time on their weak condition. Upon the reading of 
 this paper a member offered a resolution of thanks to the 
 Assembly of Jamaica, adding: "That the Assembly be assured 
 that it is the most ardent wish of this Colony (and we are 
 pursuaded of the whole Colonists of l^orth America) to see 
 a speedy return to those halcyon days when we lived a free 
 and happy people." 
 
 ISTeither the address nor the resolution of thanks suited 
 Mr. Henry, who had not hesitated to declare on the floor of 
 the Continental Congress his conviction that war was 'inevita- 
 ble, and who was painfully impressed with the importance 
 of immediate preparation for it. He at once arose and 
 offered the following resolution, to which a suitable preamble 
 was prefixed: 
 
 "Eesolved, That this Colony be immediately put into a 
 
 state of defence, and that ■ 
 
 be a committee to prepare a plan for embodying, arming, 
 and disciplining such a number of men as may be sufficient 
 for that purpose." 
 
 This resolution was opposed by Eichard Bland, Benj. 
 Harrison of Berkley, and Edmund Pendleton, who had been 
 
St. John's Chubch, 147 
 
 Mr. Henry's associates in Congress, and by Eobt. Carter 
 Mcholas, the Treasurer of the Colony. They insisted that 
 it was premature, and that no such step should be taken till 
 the replies to the addresses of the Congress had been re- 
 ceived. The reply of Mr. Henry has been rendered immor- 
 tal by the report of Mr. Wirt, made up from the recollections 
 of the hearers, and by his sounding the watchword of the 
 revolution in the sentence, "Give me liberty or give me 
 death." I need not repeat here his speech, which is familiar 
 to every school boy in our land, and which has been well 
 epitomized in the lines — 
 
 " He spoke of wrongs too long endured. 
 Of sacred rights to be secured ; 
 Then from his patriot tongue of flame 
 The startling words for Freedom came. 
 The stirring sentences he spake 
 Compelled the heart to glow and quake, 
 And, rising on his theme's broad wing. 
 And gasping in his nervous hand 
 The imaginary battle-brand. 
 In face- of death he dared to fling 
 Defiance to a tyrant King." 
 
 I;will, however, read an account of the scene by one of the 
 Vestry of the Church, Edmund Eandolph, an eye witness. 
 He says : "A resolution was passed for immediately putting 
 the Colony into a posture of defence, and for preparing a 
 plan of embodying and disciplining such a number of men as 
 might be sufficient for that purpose. Henry moved and 
 Eichard Henry Lee seconded it. The fangs of European 
 criticism might be challenged to spread themselves against 
 the eloquence of that awful day. It was a proud one to a 
 Virginian, feeling and acting with his country. Demos- 
 thenes invigorated the timid, and Cicero charmed the back- 
 ward. The multitudes, many of whom had travelled to the 
 Convention from a distance, could not suppress their emotion. 
 Henry was his pure self. Those who had toiled in the arti- 
 fices of scholastic rhetoric, were involuntarily driven into 
 an inquiry within themselves, whether rules and forms 
 
148 HisTOET Heneico Paeish, 
 
 and niceties of elocution would not have choked his native 
 fire. It blazed so as to warm the coldest heart. In 
 the sacred place of meeting, the church, the imagination had 
 no difficulty to conceive, when he launched fortii in solemn 
 tones, various causes of scruples against oppressors, that the 
 British King was lying prostrate from the thunder of heaven. 
 Henry was thought in his attitude to resemble St. Paul 
 while preaching at Athens, and to speak as man was never 
 known to speak before. After every illusion had vanished, 
 a prodigy yet remained. It was Patrick Henry, born in 
 obscurity, poor, and without the advantages of literature, 
 rousing the genius of his country, and binding a band of 
 patriots together to hurl defiance at the tyranny of so formid- 
 able a nation as Great Britain. This enchantment was spon- 
 taneous obedience to the working of the soul. When he uttered 
 what commanded respect for himself, he solicited no admir- 
 ing look from those who surrounded him. If he had, he 
 must have been abashed by meeting every eye fixed upon him. 
 He paused, but he paused full of some rising eruption of elo- 
 quence. When he sat down, his sounds vibrated so loudly, 
 if not in the ears, at least in the memory of his audience, that 
 no other member, not even his friend who was to second him, 
 was yet adventurous enough to interfere with that voice 
 which had so recently subdued and captivated. After a few 
 minutes Richard Henry Lee fanned and refreshed with a 
 gale of pleasure; but the vessel of the revolution was still 
 under the impulse of the tempest which Henry had created. 
 
 "Artificial oratory fell in copious streams from the mouth 
 of Lee, and rules of persuasion accomplished everything 
 which rules could effect. If elegance had been personified 
 the person of Lee would have been chosen. But Henry 
 trampled upon rules, and yet triumphed, at this time per- 
 haps beyond his own expectation. Jefferson was not silent. 
 He argued closely, profoundly and warmly on the same side. 
 The post in this revolutionary debate belonging to him was 
 that at which the theories of republicanism were deposited; 
 Washington was prominent, though silent. His looks bespoke 
 a mind absorbed in meditation on his country's fate ; but a 
 positive concert between him and Henry could not more 
 
St. John's Chueoh, 149 
 
 effectually have exhibited him to view than when Henry 
 with indignation ridiculed the idea of peace 'when there was 
 no peace' and enlarged on the duty of preparing for war. 
 
 "The generous and noble-minded Thomas Nelson, who 
 now for the first time took a more than common part in a 
 great discussion, convulsed the moderate by an ardent ex- 
 clamation, in which he called God to witness that if any 
 British troops should be landed within the county of which he 
 was the lieutenant, he would wait for no orders, and would 
 obey none which should forbid him to summon his militia 
 and repel the invaders at the water edge. His temper, though 
 it was sanguine, and had been manifested in less scenes of 
 opposition, seemed to be more than ordinarily excited. His 
 example told those who were happy in ease and wealth that 
 to shrink was to be dishonored." 
 
 The motion of Mr. Henry was adopted, and thus Virginia 
 threw down the gauntlet of war in the face of Grreat Britain, 
 and by determining to arm for the conflict made it inevitable, 
 unless England receded from her position towards the Colo- 
 nies. 
 
 The committee appointed under the resolution were Pa- 
 trick Henry, Richard Bland, Thomas Jefferson, Eobert 
 Carter Ificholas, and Edmund Pendleton. The Convention 
 then entered upon a series of war measures, putting the 
 Colony in a state of defence not only by raising an army, but 
 by establishing manufacturies of articles needed in a state of 
 war. The wisdom of Mr. Heniy's motion was demonstrated 
 by events which had already happened in England, but which 
 were unknown in America. ^ 
 
 In January Lord Chatham had moved in the House of 
 Lords the withdrawal of the troops from Boston, and in Feb- 
 ruary he had introduced a bill for settling the troubles in 
 -America by the repeal of the obnoxious acts. Both had been 
 voted down by large majorities, and an address to the King 
 had been moved and carried in the House of Commons, in 
 which it was declared that a "rebellion at this time actually 
 exists in the province of Massachusetts Bay." Orders had 
 also been sent to the royal officers in America to take posses- 
 sion of the ammunition in the Colonies. The execution of 
 
] 50 HisTOET Henhico Paeish, 
 
 this order soon brought on the battle of Lexington, and the 
 march of the Hanover Volunteers upon Williamsburg to 
 force Governor Dunmore to replace the gunpowder taken 
 from the Powder Horn Arsenal. 
 
 The Virginia Convention assembled again on July 17, 
 1775, in this Church, and at this session the organization of 
 the Virginia troops was completed by the election of officers, 
 and further war measures were adopted, including the ap- 
 pointment of a Committee of Safety, which took charge of the 
 affairs of the Colony and entirely superseded the Koyal Gov- 
 ernment. All men saw by this time the wisdom of Mr, 
 Henry's motion for arming the Colony, as the war had ac- 
 tually commenced, and Washington had been placed at the 
 head of the American army. 
 
 In justification of its action in entering upon war with 
 Great Britain, the Convention issued an address, which ia 
 one of the ablest of the State papers of that period. It pre- 
 ceded the Declaration of Independence a year. In it causes 
 of the difficulties with England are clearly set forth, and the 
 Colony is fully justified to the world for entering upon war 
 with the mother country. In the spirit of piety which ani- 
 mated our forefathers of the Revolution, and which so appro- 
 priately exhibited in this sacred edifice, this memorable paper 
 concludes with these words : 
 
 "It remains a bound duty on us to com^mit our cause to the 
 justice of that Supreme Being who ruleth and ordereth all 
 human events with unerring wisdom, most humbly beseeching 
 Him to take this Colony, and the whole continent, under His 
 fatherly and divine protection, and that He will be graciously 
 pleased to soften the hearts of all who meditate evil against 
 our land, and inspire them with the purest sentiments of jus- 
 tice, moderation, and brotherly affection." 
 
 It thus happened that this church is directly connected 
 with the first decisive step in Virginia in the Revolutionary 
 War ; and the fact that within its walls sat the men who de- 
 bated the great question of arming the Colony and deter- 
 mined on taking the decisive step, trusting their all to the 
 God of battles, has made it the object of the deepest interest 
 
St. John's Chuech. 151 
 
 to every patriot. The Eevoliation -whicli followed saved not 
 only the liberties of America, but of Great Britain as well, as 
 has been declared by some of the greatest statesmen. 
 
 Within less than six years, and near the close of the ar- 
 duous struggle for independence, a very different scene was 
 witnessed in this venerable building. During the last days 
 of 1Y80 a British fleet entered Chesapeake bay and steered 
 for James river and the city of Richmond, which had .become 
 the capital of the State. Governor Jefferson had not taken 
 steps to defend the city in time, and on January 6, 1781, the 
 traitor, Benedict Arnold, having landed at Westover, and 
 marched from thence, entered the city on this side at the head 
 of some 900 troops. Colonel Simcoe was sent to Westham 
 and destroyed the military stores there, and Arnold destroyed 
 •what he could find in the town. That night part of his 
 troops were quartered in this building, thus desecrating, as 
 far as in their power, the sacred edifice. On the next day 
 Arnold retired to his ships at Westover, annoyed on his re- 
 treat by the militia, which were gathering in force from every 
 quarter. The traitor, despised by his own troops as well as 
 those he had betrayed, was soon recalled from Virginia, 
 i Cornwallis, with his shattered army from the Carolinas, 
 not long after joined the British forces here, and was met by 
 men smarting under the disgrace of the capture of their 
 capital. The ravages in the State and the desercration of 
 this church were fully avenged in a few months, however, 
 by the capture of the entire British force at Torktovm, which 
 secured the independence of America. 
 
 In the thanksgiving services which were held in the 
 churches throughout America, none were more sincere than 
 those within these walls. As the wheels of time rolled on 
 civil events of the utmost importance crowded each other. 
 Peace with England, and independence, was followed by a 
 stronger Federal Constitution, which was adopted by Vir- 
 ginia in a Convention which sat in another building in Rich- 
 mond, after high debate. War with the Indians, with Eng- 
 land, and with Mexico followed in succession, but none of 
 these disturbed the devout worshippers in this building. At 
 last the irrepressible conflict over slavery, which smouldered 
 and flickered ever after the Revolution, burst forth in a 
 
152 HisTOET Heneico Pabish, 
 
 furious flame, and the terrible conflict between the States 
 commenced in 1861. Eichmond became the Confederate 
 capital, and was beleaguered by immense armieSj and for 
 months the roar of battle resounded around these walls. At 
 last the end came, and the troops of the beseigers marched 
 past the old church to occupy the twice fallen city. 
 
 In a discourse on the connection of this church with the 
 civil history of the country, we cannot overlook the long roU 
 of Vestrymen, among whom were so many who made their 
 impress on their country, and who exemplified in their daily 
 lives the truths of Christianity taught them from this sacred 
 desk. Only a few can be mentioned here, and these mostly 
 from among those whose names appear after 1785, when the 
 church had a separate Vestry. , 
 
 Edmund Kandolph was the most distinguished on this lisjt, 
 He was the son of the accomplished John Randolph, tile 
 King's Attorney-General for the Colony, who adhered to the 
 Royal cause and embarked for England on the breaking ott 
 of hostilities. His son, only twenty-two years of age, ma4e 
 his way to the camp of Washington and offered his services to 
 the patriot cause. He was taken into the General's military 
 family as aide-de-camp. Soon afterwards he was. elected to 
 the Virginia Convention of May, 1776, which declared inde-| 
 pendence, and was one of the committee which framed the 
 Bill of Rights and the Constitution — ^memorable papers, 
 which have shaped the government of America, and through 
 them are influencing all Christendom in liberalizing their 
 governments. It should never be forgotten that this Con- 
 vention, with a majority of the established Church, placed 
 in the Bill^of Rights the principle of religious liberty. The 
 Convention placed Mr. Randolph in his father's office in or- 
 ganizing the new government, and he served in it and as a 
 member of Congress till 1786, when he was made Governor 
 of the State. While Governor he was sent to the Convention 
 which framed the Federal Constitution, and on behalf of the 
 Virginia delegation introduced that plan which proved to be 
 the skeleton on which the system of government was framed. 
 He was a member of the Virginia Convention of 1788, which 
 adopted the Constitution, and was the first Attorney-General 
 of the United States, and the second Secretary of State. 
 
St. John's Chubch. 153 
 
 Wiile in that position he fell under the suspicion of Wash- 
 ington as the betrayer of State secrets, a suspicion which we 
 now know was created by the false translation by an enemy 
 of an intercepted dispatch of the French minister, Adet, to 
 his home government Indignantly resigning his seat in the 
 Cabinet, he gave the key to his department to the porter, with- 
 out arranging his papers. His enemies afterward claimed 
 that he was a defaulter to the government. Conscious of his 
 innocence of the charges which were brought against him, he 
 yet was forced to pass the latter part of an honorable life 
 under a cruel suspicion. Fortunately for his memory, there 
 has now been found a letter from the French Minister to his 
 government, written before he knew of the capture of his 
 previous letter, which absolved Mr. Randolph from the charge 
 of betraying State secrets, and the matter charged as a de- 
 fault has been fully explained, and Congress has ordered his 
 account at the Treasury to be marked satisfied. In his latter 
 days Mr. Randolph composed a history of Virginia, and in it 
 he showed the true nobility of his character by the ample 
 justice he has done his contemporaries, even where politically 
 opposed or personally aggrieved by them. 
 
 Colonel Edward Carrington entered the Revolutionary 
 army as lieutenant-colonel of artillery in November, 1776, 
 and was engaged in the memorable campaigns in the Caro- 
 linas, and as quartermaster to General" Greene saved his army 
 on its retreat before Cornwallis by securing its passage of the 
 Dan. His services have been imbedded in history by Light 
 Horse Harry Lee, in his volume on the war. This brilliant 
 soldier, orator and writer, after describing the difficulties 
 which beset General Greene and his retreat, adds : "In this 
 luost difficult crisis Carrington commenced his official duties ; 
 nis subordinate officers, habituated to expedience, and 
 strangers to system, his implements of every sort in a 
 wretched condition, without a single dollar in the military 
 chest, nevertheless he continued, by his method, his zeal, and 
 his indefatigable industry, to give promptitude to our move- 
 ments, as well as accuracy and punctuality to the supplies of 
 Bubaistance, and to collect in due time all the boats upon Dan 
 above Boyd's Ferry, at the two points designated for the 
 passage of that river." He was afterwards at Torktown, 
 
154 Hjstoey Heiteico Paeish, 
 
 After the Eevolution Colonel Carrington enjoyed the closest 
 intimacy with Washington, and was consulted as to his ap- 
 pointments in Virginia. He also served the State as member 
 of the Continental Congress, and was appointed Quarter- 
 master-General by Washington when he again was put at the 
 head of the American army. 
 
 Dr. William Foushee was a prominent man in his profes- 
 sion and in the affairs of the city. He had the honor of giv- 
 ing his name to one of our streets, an honor also accorded td 
 Colonel Richard Adams. Dr. Foushee was a graduate of the 
 Medical College of Edinburgh, was made medical director of 
 Virginia during the Eevolution, was the president of the 
 James River Company, was the first Mayor of Richmond^ 
 and afterwards for many years its postmaster. One of his 
 daughters married Thomas Richie, the famous editor. Says 
 Dr. Mordecai in his "Richmond in By-Gone Days": "Dr. 
 Foushee was a gentleman of fine personal appearance and 
 deportment, and a favorite physician with the ladies, who said 
 his visits were restoratives without the aid of medicine, So 
 bland and kind were his manners and conversation. Thi's 
 calm and sunshine which distinguished his medical character 
 could be changed to storm and thunder in his political one.", 
 
 Thomas Adams was for years a member of the Continental;; 
 Congress, and afterwards a State Senator and a member of 
 the Convention of 17Y5 from Augusta county; as a member 
 of Congress he was one of the delegation entrusted with the 
 duty of signing for the State the articles of confederation, 
 the first Federal Constitution in America. Thus his name 
 is forever impressed upon the page of his country's history. i 
 
 Colonel Richard Adams and Samuel Dlival were the mem- 
 bers from Henrico in the Convention of March, 1775, which 
 met in this building, and each were men of great prominence 
 in their day. They were afterwards placed on the committee 
 charged with the execution of the act removing the seat of 
 government from Williamsburg to Richmond, in 1779. Rich- 
 ard Adams was frequently a member of the House of Bur- 
 gesses, and of the Virginia Assembly. He was a man of 
 large means, and to him the Church was indebted for its 
 parsonage. His elegant mansion on Church Hill is still 
 standing, and is now used as a Catholic Convent. It shared 
 
St. John's Chubch. 155 
 
 the fate of the church during the occupancy of the town by 
 Arnold, and sheltered some of his troops ; and doubtless the 
 traitor himself. 
 
 Samuel Duval was a member of the House of Burgesses 
 and a gallant officer in the Revolution. He was a business 
 man of high character, as is evidenced by his appointment as 
 sheriff of the county and parish collector, offices then only 
 conferred on men of merit and spotless integrity. 
 
 Joseph and William Mayo were two brothers from Barba- 
 does, whose names are linked with the history of this city. 
 They first settled at Powhatan, the residence of the Indian 
 King, who met the English on their first visit to the falls of 
 our river in 1607, and the second was thq surveyor who in 
 1728-'29 ran the dividing line with North Carolina for the 
 commission on which Colonel Byrd served. He was the Maj. 
 Mayo who laid off the town of Eichmond for Colonel Byrd, 
 in 1737. He served in the State line during the Revolution, 
 and in the House of Delegates afterwards; The name of 
 these brothers is not alone preserved by their numerous and 
 ■worthy descendants, but in the bridge which spans our river, 
 erected by Colonel John Mayo, an achievement deemed of 
 such importance that it was inscribed upon his tombstone. 
 ^ Colonel John Harvie was a successful lawyer, who served 
 his country ably in many capacities. He served in the House 
 of Burgesses, the House of Delegates, and the continental 
 Congress, and was united with John Walker as a commis- 
 sioner to treat with the Indians at Fort Pitt. He served for 
 years as Register of the Land Office. He enjoyed the friend- 
 ship of Washington, and this he could not have done had he 
 I not been, as he undoubtedly was, a man of strict integrity, 
 and of the highest sense of honor. Through the marriage of 
 one of his sons the family became connected with that of 
 Chief Justice Marshall. 
 
 y Near Colonel Harvie resided Jacqueline Ambler, a man of 
 similar character, who was a member of the Executive Coun- 
 cil during the Revolution, and afterwards treasurer of the 
 I State for many years. 
 
 P iJaniel L. Hylton, a wealthy and influential merchant, also 
 served in the Council of State, and will be remembered when 
 most of his contemporaries are forgotten, as his name is im- 
 
156 HisTOEY HEiiTBico Pabish, 
 
 bedded in tlie reports of the Supreme Court of the United 
 States in the great case of Ware vs. Hylton, involving the 
 collection of the British debts contracted before the Kevolu- 
 tion, and confiscated by Virginia during the war. 
 
 Turner Southall was a member of the Legislature for 
 years during and after the Eevolution. He was one of the 
 most highly useful citizens of Richmond, and filled many 
 local offices of trust and importance. 
 
 Oliver P. Baldwin, the accomplished Belles Lettres scholar 
 and brilliant writer, must not be omitted, nor George M. Car- 
 rington and John Enders, who did more, perhapse, to sustain 
 the church than all others in its most trying time. 
 
 But time would fail me to notice at length the representa- 
 tive men among the foremost families of Richmond who 
 have acted as Vestrymen of this church. The families of 
 McRobert, Pollard, McRae, Nicholson, Williamson, Green- 
 how, Hay,. Taylor, Ambler, Baker, Shepherd, Shelton, End- 
 ers, Myers, Dove, Burton, Burwell, Lancaster, Crump, Mitch- 
 ell, Cosby, Whitlock, Sublett, Van Lew, Massie, Williams, 
 Womble, Fisher, Isaacs, Grant, Taliaferro, Palmer, Alfriend,

 and others who are equally worthy of mentioning, but whose 
 representatives are still living or lately lost by death. 
 
 Let us turn now for a few moments from the church to 
 the cemetery which surrounds it. The lots given by Colonel 
 Wm. Byrd adjacent to the church were early used for the 
 burial of the dead, and in 1799 the city added to them and 
 enlarged the grounds to their present proportions. For years 
 and until the establishment of the cemetery on Shockoe Hill, 
 in 1815, all denominations used this church-yard for the_ 
 burial of their dead. The oldest date remaining on any 
 tombstone is that which commemorates the death of Eev. 
 Robert Rose, in 1Y51. This learned and able clergyman of 
 the established Church was a prominent character in Co- 
 lonial history. He was a man of affairs. He first proposed 
 the canal along the falls of James river, and he was the friend 
 and executor of Governor Alexander Spottswood. He left a ' 
 diary which is of great value, as it gives an interesting picture 
 of his times. Without following any chronological order, let 
 
St. John's Chuech. 157 
 
 3p|iiote a few of the graves of other prominent men who lie 
 iburied here. And first I would name Governor John Page, 
 Mdier and statesman, and at the same time so much of a 
 Slologian that his friends urged him to take holy orders. 
 He was with Washington in the French war, served after- 
 wards in the House of Burgesses, in the Colonial Council, 
 in the Committee of Safety, in the Convention of 1776, which 
 framed the State Constitution, in the first Executive Council 
 of the State, in Congress, and finally in the office of Gov- 
 ernor, succeeding Monroe, in 1802. On the invasion of Ar- 
 nold he headed the Gloucester militia and attacked him on his 
 retreat. He was an eminent patriot, and like Governor 
 Thomas Nelson, he did not hesitate to use his own fortune to 
 aid his State in the hour of her need. 
 
 Near the western entrance of the church there is an un- 
 ' marked grave, which is filled hy one of the most illustrious 
 of our Eevolutionary patriots, the learned and accomplished 
 Chancellor, George Wythe. From 1758 to the Revolution 
 he served in the House of Burgesses, and prepared some of 
 _ the ablest papers which appeared during the controversy with 
 , England. In 1765 he opposed Mr. Henry's resolutions 
 against the stamp act, and in 1775, as a member of the Con- 
 vention, he opposed the motion to arm the Colony, but in both 
 instances it was because he differed with Mr. Henry in judg- 
 ment, not in principle. As a member of Congress in 1776, 
 he advocated the motion for independence, and signed the 
 declaration. Afterwards he was made Chancellor, in which 
 office he served many years with great distinction. He will 
 ever be remembered as the friend and patron of Henry Clay, 
 who read law in his office. His integrity, patriotism, ur- 
 banity, learning, and impartiality endeared him to his coun- 
 try, and a greater shock could not have been given to its 
 people than was experienced when he was poisoned by a dis- 
 solute nephew, his heir expectant, who could not wait the 
 Murse of nature to enjoy the inheritance, but who happily 
 was cut off by a change of his will on his death bed.- 
 r The next grave that should be mentioned is that of James 
 |Mercer, a judge of the first Virginia Court of Appeals, who, 
 ,PJ®^^°"s to his election, had the honor of serving in the House 
 of Burgesses, in all of the Virginia Conventions, on the Com- 
 
158 HisTOEY Heneico Paeish, 
 
 mittee of Safety, in the Continental Congress, and as a judge 
 in admiralty. He died in Kichmond while attending a ses- 
 sion of the Court of Appeals, October 31, 1793, in the fifty- 
 seventh year of his age, greatly respected and admired. 
 
 Charles Coupland and General Andrew Eonald will com- 
 plete my mention of the lawyers. The first was a man of 
 great eminence in his day, and the second of such standing in 
 his profession as to he one of the counsel in the celebrated 
 British debt cause. 
 
 Here we find the remains of that saintly man, Rev. John 
 Buchanan, long a rector of the church, whose affectionate 
 relations with his Presbyterian brother, the Eev. J. D. Blair, 
 has been so often the theme of tongue and pen, and were so 
 beautifully described in the eloquent sermon of the Bishop 
 this morning. 
 
 One minister's grave attracts our attention as seemingly 
 out of place. . It is that of Rev. William Graham, the intel- 
 lectual giant of the Valley. Commencing life as a laborer 
 on his father's farm, he acquired the rudiments of an educa- 
 tion by studying after his day's work was over. Afterwards 
 by teaching while studying, he passed through a classical 
 course at Princeton, and was selected as principal of Liberty 
 Hall Academy, which has become Washington and Lee Uni- 
 versity. He entered the ministry, but continued to conduct 
 the academy, and when soldiers were called for in the Revo- 
 lution he formed the students into a company, of which he 
 took command, and offered their services to the State. As 
 evidence of his varied acquirements it may be mentioned, that 
 he wrote the Constitution adopted by the men who attempted 
 to set up a new State in the western part of North Carolina, 
 called the State of Franklin. And he entered into the dis- 
 cussion of the Federal Constitution when it was proposed, re- 
 sisting its adoption in its unamended form. He was one of 
 the most active and powerful advocates with his pen and 
 tongue of the measures which resulted in the entire separation 
 of Church and State in Virginia. As a clear and cogent 
 reasoner, it is believed he had no superior among his contem- 
 poraries, and the impress of his mind has been continued on 
 his country in the distinguished pupils he trained. The 
 ablest of them all was Dr. Archibald Alexander, who through 
 
St. John's Chuech. 159 
 
 his presidency of the Theological Seminary at Princeton may 
 be said to have moulded the Presbyterian Church in America. 
 Dr. Graham died June 8, 1Y99, in this city, while on a Yisit 
 to his friend, Colonel Eobert Gamble. More than one me- 
 moir of him exists, but perhaps the most interesting is that 
 by his distinguished pupil. Dr. Alexander. 
 
 Colonel Eobert Gamble, the friend of Dr. Graham, also 
 lies buried in the yard. He was of the Scotch race which 
 settled in Augusta county. After gallant service in the Eevo- 
 lution, he acquired a large fortune as a merchant, a,nd re- 
 moving to Richmond, occupied an elegant residence on the 
 hill that bears his name. At that residence his two accom- 
 plished daughters were wedded, one to William Wirt and the 
 other to Judge William H. Cabell. 
 
 Colonel Edward Carrington lies buried, according to his 
 request, at the spot where he stood and heard through an open 
 window the great debate on the arming of the colonies. He 
 felt that here the ennobling spirit of patriotism was kindled 
 in his bosom, which animated and sustained him ever after- 
 wards in war and in peace, and here he desired that his last 
 resting place might be. 
 
 Among the eminent physicians who are buried here may 
 be mentioned Drs. James Currie, Andrew Leiper, with whom 
 President William Henry Harrison studied medicine ; James 
 McClurg, one of the most eminent men of his time, who 
 served with great distinction on the medical staff during the 
 Revolution, and was one of the Virginia delegates to the 
 Convention that framed the Federal Constitution; John 
 Dove, beloved by more than one generation, and especially 
 honored by his ITasonic brethren, and James Beale, whose 
 grave is still fresh. In this yard we also find the grave of 
 Geddes Winston, son of the emigrant William Essex Winston, 
 and a representative of the numerous and honorable family 
 of Winston. 
 
 But I must bring these short notices of the dead to a close, 
 8nd yet there is one other I cannot omit, as his early life was 
 most intimately linked with mine, and the recollection of his 
 name and person fills me with the deepest emotion. In the 
 fall of 1848 there matriculated at the University of Virginia, 
 a youth of slender frame and of a remarkable' handsome face, 
 
160 HisTOBY Heneico Paeish, 
 
 in whicli were blended sweetness and genius in an nnusual 
 degree. We attended a number of classes together, and were 
 members of the same literary society. Soon a friendship 
 sprung up between us such as only schoolmates enjoy, and this 
 grew and strengthened for two sessions, until in June, 1850, 
 we graduated together, he taking the degree in two years, an 
 unusual feat, and only achieved by youth of extraordinary 
 capacity and industry. When the day came for us to part, 
 we exchanged our society badges in token of our lasting 
 friendship, and wrote sentences in each other's autograph 
 books breathing the warmest affection. I can recall now the 
 pale student, in whom all had come to recognize the happy 
 blending of the lion and the lamb, as he wrote in my book 
 these words: "When hereafter you think of your college 
 friends, may the most pleasant emotions be experienced by 
 you when thinking of the most sincere of them all. Jolm 
 Tevis Points, Staunton, Va." 
 
 Our lives, which had flowed so intimately together for two 
 years, now diverged. I entered upon the drudgery of the 
 law, he chose the higher calling of the Christian ministry, 
 and prepared himself as a missionary to China, for which 
 his great aptitude for languages seemed so well to fit him. 
 But the deadly climate of that country soon shattered a phy- 
 sical constitution, never strong enough for the spirit it held, 
 and he was forced to return with impaired health. When 
 sufficiently restored he entered upon the duties of a country 
 charge. In the winter of 1859-1860 he was called to this 
 church, and was recognized at once as a model rector. Lis- 
 ten, to the recorded testimony of his Vestry: "He found our 
 church destitute of means and material. From a bankrupt 
 congregation, cold and listless audience, and an emaciated 
 Sunday school, and general supineness pervading the whole 
 church, he introduced warmth, activity, vigor. Seats here- 
 tofore vacant suddenly became filled to repletion, and an ex- 
 tension of the accomniodations became necessary ; our treas- 
 ury became adequate to the demands made upon it, and that 
 treasury which was always the object of his deepest solicitude 
 had accessions made to its members. The interest imparted 
 by him to the church soon found its way to its adjunct, the 
 Sunday school, and its crowded walls soon resounded to the 
 
St. John's Chuech, 161 
 
 glad Toices of a happy little congregation. We do not mean 
 to attribute this success solely to the frequency of his public 
 ministrations. It would be unjust to his memory were we, 
 while according him praise in this particular, to omit to 
 enumerate his constant devotion and attachment to his con- 
 gregation, incessantly manifested by his untiring energy in 
 visiting the sick, consoling the afflicted, sympathizing with 
 and appropriating to himself their afflictions; ever on the 
 alert to administer the consolations of his office and heal the 
 wounded and broken hearted. Whether affliction visited the 
 parlor or the garret, there was he to be found, and if one of 
 those accustomed happy little faces was absent from its place 
 in the Sunday school, straightway he bent his steps to know 
 the cause of detention." 
 
 But this happy pastorate was not to last long. It became 
 apparent that the seating capacity of the building must be en- 
 larged or a new church built. This last, which involved the 
 abandonment of this venerated building by the congregation, 
 was not to be thought of, and it was determined to close the 
 building for a short period, in order to add new pews. The 
 rector in the mean time visited his old parish in King Wil- 
 liam. While there, a guest of his kinsman, Eobert E. Hill, 
 the disease which had driven him from China returned upon 
 him with great violence, and after a sickness of a few days, 
 death on the 10th of June, 1860, ended his short but bril- 
 liant career. The ladies of his congregation and his brother 
 Masons claimed the honor of placing a stone over his grave. 
 Seldom has one tomb closed over so much consecrated learn- 
 ing in a youthful form. He was learned beyond his years, 
 and was fitted with an unquenchable desire for knowledge. 
 But he loved knowledge only as she was the handmaid of 
 wisdom; out of the service of her heaven-born mistress he 
 trusted her not. 
 
 " Who loves not knowledge ? who shall rail 
 
 Against her beauty ? May she mix 
 
 With men and prosper ? Who shall fix 
 
 Her pillars ? Let her work prevail. 
 
 But on her forehead sits a fire ; 
 
 She sets her forward countenance 
 11 
 
162 History Henbioo Paeish, 
 
 And leaps into the future chance, 
 Submitting all things to desire. 
 Half gTOwn as yet, a child, and vain. 
 She cannot fight the fear of death. 
 "What is she, cut from love and faith. 
 But some wild Pallas from the brain 
 Of demons, fiery hot to burst 
 All barriers in her onward race 
 For power. Let her know her place ; 
 She is the second, not the first. 
 A Higher hand must make her mild, 
 If all be not in vain ; and guide 
 Her footsteps, moving side by side 
 With wisdom, like the younger child : 
 For she is earthly of the mind. 
 But wisdom heavenly of the soul, 
 0, Friend, who camest to thy goal 
 So early, leaving me behind, 
 I would the great world grew like thee. 
 Who grewest not alone in power 
 And knowledge, but by year and hour 
 In reverence and charity." 
 
 But my task is done. It only remains for me to utter thqj 
 sincere prayer which finds a response in the heart of every 
 Christian patriot, that the same kind nrovidence that has here- 
 tofore preserved this building and filled it with sacred mem- 
 ories may continue to keep it as the Mecca towards which an 
 ever-increasing throng of liberty-oving pilgrims shall bend 
 their steps ; and when the sands of another himdred and fifty 
 years shall have fallen from the hand of time, and our chil- 
 dren and children's children shall lie with us in the tomb, 
 may a new generation, in the full enjoyment of civil and re- 
 ligious liberty, gladly commemorate its three hundredth anni- 
 versary, and find a pure religion still ministering at its altar. 
 
SKETCHES 
 
 OF THE 
 
 Bishops of Virginia. 
 
KEY. DK. DAVID GRIFFITH. 
 
 BY J. STAUWTOlir MOORE. 
 
 Eev. Dr. David Griffith was chosen Bishop of Virginia by 
 the second Virginia Convention, held in 1Y86, by a vote of 
 32 out of 49. He resigned his claim upon that office in May, 
 1789. He was the de facto Bishop of Virginia for this 
 ffieriod, but was not such de jure. At the Convention held in 
 iSichmond in 1787, Dr. Griffith was its president. The Con- 
 vention urged the churches to raise funds to pay the expenses 
 incident to the consecration of a Bishop, and instructed the 
 Standing Committee to apply without delay to Bishops White 
 and Provost, or either of them, to admit the Eev. Dr. Griffith 
 to consecration, by whom the request would have been granted 
 but for the obligation to the English Bishops, to whom they 
 felt in honor pledged not to admit any one to consecration 
 until three Bishops had been obtained from England. 
 
 So depressed was the condition of the Church in Virginia, 
 and so little zeal was found in her members, that it was im- 
 possible to raise funds sufficient to defray the expenses of the 
 Bishop-elect to London. In response to the appeals of the 
 clergy, only twenty-eight pounds were raised, a sum totally 
 inadequate for the purpose. Dr. Griffith's want of means 
 were so limited he could not himself bear the expense across 
 tbe Atlantic. Dt. Griffith, as shown by Saffell's Records of 
 the Eevoutionary War, was both chaplain and surgeon of the 
 Third Virginia Regiment, as it stood in 1777-1778. The 
 loUowing certificate attests his service : "These are to certify 
 tbat the Rev. Mr. David Griffith was recommended to the 
 committee of Congress and appointed by me to do the duty of 
 chaplain to my brigade at the time the committee came to 
 Valley Forge, which I think was about the 1st of February 
 last. Given under my hand this 16th day of October, 1778. 
 '(Signed) Wm. Woodboed, Brigadier General." 
 
166 HiSTOEY Heneico Paeish, 
 
 The following resolution is extracted from the minutes : 
 
 "In Congress July 23, 17Y6. 
 
 "Resolved, That Dr. David Griffith be appointed to the sta- 
 tion of chaplain and surgeon in the Third Virginia Kegiment, 
 he being a person of uncommon merit, and there being few 
 surgeons of abilities who will enter into the army in that 
 State. This appointment not to be drawn into precedent. 
 That Dr. Griffith draw pay in both these capacities for the 
 time he has served in the regiment." Under the act of 'the 
 General Assembly of Virginia he received land warrants for 
 Revolutionary services. In 1789 he was appointed by the 
 Virginia Convention a representative to the General Conven- 
 tion at Philadelphia, which met that year in Philadelphia. 
 His health at this time was feeble; he reached the city, but 
 was never able to take his seat. He died at the house of the 
 Bishop of Pennsylvania on the 3d day of August, 1789, and 
 the journals of the Convention attest the respect which was 
 entertained for his character. The senior clergymen of the 
 deputation from each State attended his funeral as pall- 
 bearerSj the residue of the Convention as mourners, while his 
 friends. Bishop White and Mx. Andrews, the lay delegate for 
 Virginia, were chief mourners. 
 
 Dr. Griffith was born in the city of New York, and was 
 educated partly in that place and partly in England for the 
 medical profession. After taking his degree in London, he 
 returned to America and entered on the practice of his pro- 
 fession in ISTew York about the year of 1763. Determined to 
 enter the ministry of the Episcopal Church, he went to Lon- 
 don in 1770, and was ordained by Bishop Terrick, August 
 19 th of that year, and returned as missionary to Gloucester 
 county, New Jersey. The following year he accepted the 
 charge of Shelboume Parish, Loudoun county, Va. He con- 
 tinued in it until May, 1776, when — ^being an American not 
 only in birth, but in heart — he entered the service as chaplain 
 and surgeon. He continued in this service until 1779. In 
 1780 he became the minister of Christ Church, Alexandria. 
 He is represented as a man of good size and prepossessing 
 appearance and pleasant manners, and as enjoying the con- 
 fidence of General Washington and the army. From the 
 
St. John's Chtteoh. 167 
 
 year of 1780 to tis death, in 1789, Dr. G-riffith was the much 
 esteemed pastor of Christ Church, Alexandria, and that called 
 Little Ealls, on the Potomac. During the greater part of his 
 rectorship General Washington was his parishioner, having a 
 pew in Christ Church, and Dr. Griffith was a welcomed guest 
 at Mt. Vernon. 
 
 Dr. Griffith was not only a patriot at this crucial period in 
 the history of his country that tried men's souls, but his love 
 for and interest in the Church shows that whilst not conse- 
 crated a Bishop according to the rubrics of the Church, his 
 heart was thoroughly consecrated to her interests. His deep 
 concern in the welfare of the Church and his earnest solici- 
 tude for her condition is voiced in the following letter, writ- 
 ten in 1783, to Dr. John Buchanan : 
 
 "D'ear Sir, — ^You may recollect the conversation we had 
 when I had the pleasure of seeing you at Richmond ; that we 
 mntually latnented the declining state of the Church of Eng- 
 land in this country, and the pitiable situation of her clergy, 
 especially those whose circumstances are not sufficiently inde- 
 pendent to place them beyond the reach of want. I am satis- 
 fied our Church has yet a very great number of powerful 
 friends, who are disposed to give it encouragement and sup- 
 port, and who vsdsh to see some plan in agitation for effecting 
 a business so important, and at this time no necessary. It is 
 (and very justly) matter of astonishment to many that those 
 whose more immediate duty it is to look to the concerns of 
 their religious society should show so much indifference and 
 mdolenee as the Church and clergy do, while the leaders of 
 almost every other denomination are laboring with the great- 
 est assiduity to increase their influence, and, by open attacks 
 and subtle machinations, endeavoring to lessen that of every 
 other society, particularly the Church to which you and I 
 have the honor to belong, in whose destruction they all 
 (Quakers and Methodists excepted) seem to agree perfectly, 
 however they may differ in other points. Against these it 
 hehooves us to be cautious. But, unless the clergy act con- 
 jointly and agreeably to some well-regulated plan, the ruin 
 of our Church is inevitable without the malevolence of her 
 enemies. Considering her present situation and circum- 
 stances — ^without ordination, without government, without 
 
168 History Heneico Pabish, 
 
 support, unprotected by the laws, and yet_ laboring under 
 injurious restriction from laws which yet exist — ^these things 
 considered, her destruction is sure as fate, unless some mode 
 is adopted for her preservation. Her friends, by suffering 
 her to continue in her present state of embarrassment, as ef- 
 fectually work her destruction as her avowed enemies could 
 do by their most successful contrivances. 
 
 "In the late contest for a stake of the last importance to 
 this country, it would have been imprudent to enter on a 
 regulation of ecclesiastical affairs, or to attempt anything 
 that might interrupt that union which was so necessary for 
 our mutual security and preservation. But that time, God 
 be thanked, is happily over, and those reasons no longer exist. 
 It seems to be high time for those whom it concerns to be 
 engaged in the important business of regulating the affairs of 
 the Church. I have been for some time in the hope that 
 some of my brethren near the seat of government would have 
 set on foot this necessary business; and my reason for ad- 
 dressing you at this time is to be informed whether anything 
 of the kind is begun or intended — ^the time when, the place 
 where, and manner how — and if nothing of the kind should 
 be yet determined upon, to request of you, as your situation 
 renders it no way inconvenient, to undertake to promote a 
 Convention of the clergy for that purpose. I shall also pre- 
 sume to offer my advice. In order that the measures agreed 
 on may be generally acceptable to the clergy and no objection 
 remain to impede their future execution, it will be necessary 
 to have as numerous a meeting as possible. I would recom- 
 mend to have the clergy summoned to this Convention both by 
 public notice and private information; for, as the Virginia 
 newspapers seldom come into this and several other quarters, 
 perhaps the end would be best answered by sending printed 
 circular letters to all quarters of the State ; if circular letters 
 were not sent, many of the clergy might not have timely no- 
 tice. I would recommend this Convention to be called on the 
 authority of the few clergy contiguous to the seat of govern- 
 ment — the notices to be signed by the whole of them, or one 
 as chairman. I would advise the notices to be couched in 
 general terms, to avoid, as much as possible, assigning reasons 
 for it, especially such as may alarm the Dissenters and rouse 
 
St. John's Ohuech. 169 
 
 them into opposition. The time for sending and publishing 
 these notices should be near three months before the intended 
 Convention, that the clergy might with certainty be informed 
 of it and be prepared to leave Sieir homes. As Richmond is 
 near the centre of the State, I think it is the properest place 
 to hold the Convention at. The time for holding the Con- 
 vention I would recommend to be about the 20th of April 
 next. It will be impossible to have anything like a full meet- 
 ing in the winter season ; and about the season I have men- 
 tioned, the weather is generally fine for travelling and the 
 roads settled. Besides, our plans should be agreed upon 
 previous to the session of Assembly, as we must necessarily 
 have recourse to it for the repeal of those existing laws which 
 made a part of the old establishment, and which, while they 
 do exist, must prove ruinous to the Church in spite of any 
 regulations the clergy may adopt. I have not the pleasure of 
 knowing Mr. Blagrove, chaplain to the House of Assembly, 
 but I think his name, or yours, or both, would not appear 
 improperly at the bottom of the notices, or anything that will 
 answer the purpose. If the above proposal should be adopted, 
 I shall be much obliged to you for informing me of it as soon 
 as it is determined on. Please direct to me at Alexandria, 
 either by post or some private hand. If a meeting is likely 
 to take place, it would not perhaps be amiss if yourself and 
 our brethren in your neighborhood were to digest some plan 
 for the consideration of the Convention. If it was well cpn- 
 sidered by sensible men what regulations were wanting and 
 what reform necessary, it would save abundance of time. If 
 I have timely notice, I will cheerfully devote all the spare 
 time I have to this service. And if the Convention is re- 
 solved on, I will engage to send the notices to all the clergy 
 in the Northern 'Neck above Falmouth, if the copies or a form 
 are sent to me in time. You may remember that when I had 
 the pleasure of seeing you I expressed a wish that a coalition 
 might take place between us and the Dissenters; it is still 
 my most earnest wish, but I am now satisfied it is a vain 
 one ; and I think our Church has no chance of preserving any 
 of its ancient and excellent forms of worship, but from the 
 united zeal and efforts of her clergy. I think it is this alone 
 that can preserve her very existence. I am, etc., 
 
 "David Gtkiffith." 
 
ET. KEY. JAMES MADISON, D. D., BISHOP OF VIE- 
 GIISriA 1790 TO 1812. 
 
 BY W. Q. STAWAED^ OJT THE VIEGINIA HISTOEICAL SOCIETY. 
 
 The Et Eev. James Madison, D. D., a member of the same 
 family as President James Madison, was a son of John Madi- 
 son, who was long a prominent citizen of Augusta county, 
 and was bom in 1749. 
 
 He was ediicated at William and Mary College, and prior 
 to the Eevolution was professor of natural philosophy 
 and mathematics in that institution. He succeeded John 
 Gamm as president of William and Mary in 1777, and in 
 conjunction with Jefferson, then a member of the Board of 
 Visitors, made many improvements in its constitution, nota- 
 bly that of introducing the elective system. 
 
 In 1790 James Madison was chosen first Bishop of the 
 Diocese of Virginia, and was consecrated at Lambeth Palace, 
 London, in September of the same year. 
 
 Bishop Madison seems to have entered upon the duties of 
 his office with a sincere desire to elevate the character of the 
 Church and to employ a commendable zeal in the prosecution 
 of such measures as would be likely to promote its prosperity, 
 but his efforts proved of but little avail, and the Church sunk 
 so low that some even of its best friends began to despair. 
 We know now that the disestablishment of the Church laid 
 the foundation of its present vigor and usefulness ; but at the 
 moment this reform, like many reforms, seemed to work 
 chiefly for evil. The loss of Church property, the poverty 
 of the people, the moral degeneration consequent upon a long 
 war, the violent opposition of other branches of the Church, 
 and the spread of French infidelity combined to almost work 
 its ruin. 
 
 Though almost any one might have failed to stem the tide 
 of destructive influences that threatened the Church in Vir- 
 
Rt. Rev. Jambs Madison, D. D., 
 First Bishop of Virginia. 
 
St. Johit's Chtjeoh. 171 
 
 ginia, Bishop Madison may not have been the best man for 
 the difficult task. There is no doubt that he was learned and 
 good, and his broad Christian charity is shown by the fact 
 that in the General Convention of 1792 he introduced a propo- 
 sition for a union "with all sincere Christians." It has been 
 sometimes thought that his devotion to scientific subjects and 
 to the affairs of the college detracted from his usefulness as a 
 Bishop, and it is evident that, while profoundly a Christian, 
 the bonds of Churchmanship lay lightly upon him. 
 
 Bishop Madison married Miss Tate, of Williamsburg, and 
 died in 1812, leaving several children. s

 VIEGI]SriA 1814 TO 1841. 
 
 BY W. G. STAITABD^ OF THE VIEGINIA HISTORICAL SOCIET"?. 
 
 Eichard Channing Moore, descended from a prominent 
 New York family, and son of Thomas Moore and Elizabeth 
 Channing his wife, was born in the city of New York on 
 August 21, 1762, and died at Lynchburg, Va., on November 
 11, 1841. 
 
 He was educated at King's College (now Columbia Uni- 
 versity), studied medicine, and commenced the practice of 
 that profession, but becoming a communicant of the Epis- 
 copal Church, he 'not long afterwards determined to enter 
 the ministry, and was ordained a deacon July, 1787, by 
 Bishop Provost, of New York. Admitted to priest's orders 
 in September of the same year, he was called to the charge 
 of Grace Church, Eye, Westchester county. In 1789 he 
 became the rector of St. Andrew's, Staten Island, and in 
 1809 of St. Stephen's, New York City. In each of these 
 parishes he was much beloved and did very successful work. 
 
 In 1814, when Dr. Moore was elected Bishop of Vir- 
 ginia, the Church was at its lowest ebb here, and there was 
 only one Parish in, the diocese which could promise proper 
 support to its rector; this was the new "Monumental," in 
 Eichmond, and as there was then no "Bishop's Fund," the 
 only way in which it was possible to provide for a bishop 
 was to elect him rector of the new Church. For twenty-seven 
 years he presided over a parish and a diocese alike devoted 
 to him. The work he did can be best shown by the statement 
 that in the Convention that called him to the Episcopate 
 there were only seven clerical members, while at his death 
 there were ninety-five clergy in the Diocese. 
 
 As a man he was gentle, tender and sympathetic, admired 
 and beloved by all who knew him; as a preacher eloquent.

 fervent and forceful, setting fortli the truths of the Bible 
 and the teachings of his Church with earnestness and con- 
 viction. As a Bishop he was strong*in his maintenance of the 
 principles of the Church, wise and firm, but gentle in his dis- 
 cipline, and untiring in his labors. Bishop Moore was twice 
 married and has many descendants in Richmond and else- 
 where. 
 
ET. EEV. WILLIAM MEADE, D. D., BISHOP OE VIK- 
 GINIA 1841 TO 1862. 
 
 BY W. G. STAlfAEDj OB THE VIEGINIA HISTOEICAI, SOCIETY. 
 
 William Meade, son of Richard Kidder Meade, a distin- 
 guished officer of the Revolution, was born near Millwood, 
 Virginia, November 11, 1789, and died in Richmond, March 
 14, 1862. 
 
 He graduated at Princeton; studied theology, and be- 
 came deacon February 14, 1811, and priest January 10, 
 1814. 
 
 So hopeless was the state of the Church at the time of his 
 ordination — lonly one person having been ordained for a 
 long time by Bishop ' Madison, "and .he," says Bishop 
 Meade, "a most unworthy one," it created surprise that a 
 young Virginian should enter the ministry of the Episcopal 
 Church. But William Meade was not to be daunted and he 
 has the glory of being one of the group of godly and brave 
 young men who at this dark time laid the foundation stone 
 of the Church as she now exists. He became, in 1811, rec- 
 tor of Christ Church, Alexandria, but after two years re- 
 turned to Millwood as assistant, and became rector of that 
 Parish in 1821. On August 19, 1829, he was consecrated, in 
 Philadelphia, Assistant Bishop of Virginia, and succeeded 
 Bishop Moore in 1841. He had been active in the selection 
 of Bishop Moore as leader in the movement to rebuild the 
 fallen Church, and his labors through life, as rector and 
 Bishop, for the same great end bore such fruits as to make 
 them of enduring memory. ISTot only does the Church in Vir- 
 ginia owe to his devotion and tireless energy vast increase in 
 numbers and vitality, but his personal influence and the 
 character of his Churchmanship have left a stamp upon the 
 Diocese which it still bears. 
 
 Bishop Meade was a man of courage and convictions. With

 him there were no compromises. In the intensity of his 
 feelings in regard to right and wrong he has been compared 
 to the best type of the old Puritan. In addition to all he 
 accomplished in building up the Church in his native State, 
 he was its historian. He was the author of numerous works, 
 by far the most valuable of which is the well known "Old 
 Churches and Families of Virginia," published in two vol- 
 umes in Philadelphia in 18 57. 
 
 It may interest students of heredity to learn that the 
 Bishop was descended lineally from Kichard Kidder, Bishop 
 of Bath and Wells, and also from a sister of Reginald Pole, 
 the last Roman Catholic Archbishop of Canterbury. 
 
 He was twice married, both of his wives being members 
 of the well known Nelson family of Virginia, and he has 
 numerous descendants. 
 
ET. KEY. JOHN JOHNS, D. D. 
 
 BY ET. EEV. K. A. GIBSON. 
 
 The Kt. Kev. John Johns, D. D., third Bishop of Vir- 
 ginia, was born in New Castle, Delaware, July 10, 1796. 
 He was the son of Kensey and Anne (Van Eyke) Johns. 
 
 In his eighteenth year he became a communicant of the 
 Episcopal Church. When nineteen he was graduated from 
 Princeton College. There he also studied theology, and 
 with the greatest exactness, according to the testimony of 
 the Kev. Dr. Hodge,, a lifelong friend. He was ordained 
 deacon by Bishop White in St. Peter's Church, Philadelphia, 
 May 19, 1819, and priest probably about 1820. His first 
 Parish, when too young for priest's orders, was All Saints 
 Church, Erederick, Maryland. 
 
 In 1829 he became rector of Old Christ Church, Balti- 
 more. 
 
 The tide of population was moving westward, a new 
 Church was erected in 1837-'38 on Gay street (now the 
 Church of the Messiah), of which Mr. Johns was rector, 
 until he was consecrated Assistant Bishop of Virginia, to 
 which office he had been elected on Saturday, May 21, 1842, 
 at the Council in Staunton. In Monumental Church, Rich- 
 mond, October 13, 1842, he was consecrated Bishop by 
 Bishops Griswold, Meade, Ives and Whittingham. 
 
 In his address to the Council the year after Bishop Meade 
 said: "For this kind dispensation of Providence to myself 
 and the Diocese of Virginia I have cause for daily grati- 
 tude." 
 
 As the years went by Bishop Meade felt it more and more 
 a cause of gratitude that Bishop Johns was with him. 
 
 After living in Richmond a few years Bishop Johns was, 
 in 1849, elected president of William and Mary College, to 
 which position he remained for several years. Of this period

 Fourth Bishop of Virginia.

 Bishop Meade says: "During tlie five years of his contin- 
 uance, notwithstanding the arduous lahors of his Episcopal 
 office, he so diligently and wisely conducted the management 
 of the College as to produce a regular increase of the num^ 
 bar of the students, until they had nearly reached the maxi- 
 mum of former times; established a better discipline than 
 perhaps ever before had prevailed in the institution; and 
 attracted more students of divinity to its lectures than had 
 ever been seen there in the memory of any now living." 
 
 In 1854, feeling that Alexandria was the centre of the 
 Diocese, so far as travelling facilities were concerned, he 
 built a house near the Theological Seminary, and in Sep- 
 tember of that year removed thither with his family. At the 
 death of Bishop Meade, in June, 1862, he became Bishop of 
 Virginia. The Journals of 1863 and 1864 show how busy 
 he was in supplying the Confederate army, personally and 
 officially, with the ministrations of the Gospel. 
 
 Gen. Jackson, just before his death, sent him a special re- 
 quest to send, if possible, forty faithful ministers to supply. 
 that number of vacant Chaplaincies in the army on the Rap- 
 . pahannoek. Gen. Lee added his earnest request, and the 
 Bishop appealed to the Council. By a solemn resolution 
 the Bishop was asked to call upon the ministers then without 
 Parishes to render religious services to the army for such 
 a time and at such a place as he might designate; and the 
 whole clergy of the Council, in a body, offered themselves for 
 the work. 
 
 In 1865, the re-union of our Diocese after the war between 
 the States took place. Bishop Johns was ready to partici- 
 pate in this movement, but the Diocese preferred to wait until 
 the General Council of Confederate Dioceses sanctioned 
 such action. 
 
 Alone now in the offiice of the episcopate. Bishop Jobns 
 began the toilsome work of rebuilding the wasted Parishes, 
 and cheering the many darkened homes and broken hearts 
 of his clergy and people. The re-united Episcopal Church 
 proved immensely attractive to the people of the Diocese and 
 the confirmations numbered a thousand or more every year. 
 Though blessed with an uncommon degree of health and 
 vigor, Bishop Johns soon began to feel the incessant labor 
 12 
 
178 History Heneico Paeish, 
 
 too great for one who liad already attained his "three score 
 years and ten." In the spring of 1867 he intimated his need 
 of an assistant. The majority of the committee to whom 
 were referred the subjects of an assistant and the division of 
 the Diocese were in favor of a division; but as the need 
 seemed pressing, they yielded their own wishes to the 
 Bishop's necessity. His request was granted by the election 
 of the Eev. Francis M. Whittle, of St. Paul's Church, Louis- 
 ville, Ky. 
 
 Eight years longer was our Bishop spared to us, fulfilling 
 more than thirty-three years of a most useful and honored 
 episcopate. The Psalmist's description was true of him, he 
 "shall bring forth fruit in old age, his leaf also shall not 
 wither." His love to God and his fellowman seemed to in- 
 crease as he grew older. His mind and heart expanded and 
 grew more tender. His influence in the House of Bishops 
 was year by year more distinctly felt and acknowledged. 
 His opening sermon at the General Convention of 1871, 
 "The love of Christ constraineth us," touched a chord in 
 every true Christian heart, and largely promoted the spirit 
 of harmony and charity and missionary zeal which marked 
 the proceedings of that body. It was at this Convention, 
 also, our Bishop showed his unabated vigor of mind, and his 
 skill in the command of language, as well as his increasing 
 influence among the Bishops, by the important part he took 
 in framing the "Declaration of the House of Bishops" on the 
 use of the word "regenerate" in the baptismal service. It 
 cost him nights' sleep to fix upon the single word "determine" 
 in the sentence, "We declare that in our opinion, the word 
 'regenerate' is not there so used as to determine that a moral 
 change in the subject of baptism is wrought by that sacra- 
 ment." But the expression was satisfactory to the two war- 
 ring factions, a burning question was removed from the 
 midst of an imperilled household of faith, and the declara- 
 tion was adopted almost unanimously. 
 
 On the 19th of February, 1876, the Bishop preached his 
 last sermon, and soon after had a slight attack of paralysis. 
 His death occurred April 6, 1876, and his burial took place 
 on the seventh of the same month from the chapel of the 
 Theological Seminary; Bishops Pinkney, of Maryland, and 
 
St. John's Chueoh. ' 179 
 
 Dudley, of Kentucky, and the Eev. B*. Packard, of the Sem- 
 inary, officiating. 
 
 Bishop Johns was a preacher of consummate power and 
 of exquisite polish. His memory was trained in his seminary 
 days on the elaborate divisions and subdivisions of "Turretin 
 Theology" and his voice was sweetened and extraordinarily 
 flexible. It was his habit to distribute mentally the different 
 sections of his sermon to different parts of the church build- 
 ing in which he was speaking. This seemed to help his 
 memory, for he always spoke without notes, and at the same 
 time prevented the suggestion of the effort of speaking mem- 
 oriter. ' 
 
 The Southern Churchman of April 16, 1876, says of the 
 Bishop : "He was devoted to the Protestant Episcopal Church, 
 and in times when others were thought careless of such 
 things was himself strictly rubical. He was inclined to be 
 conservative in practice, hopeful of the future of the Church. 
 
 "The influence of his steady adherance to evangelical 
 truth and unabated confidence in the formularies and 
 standards of our Church, will always be remembered by those 
 who write the history of our Zion." 
 
KT. KEV. F. M. WHITTLE, D. D. LL. D. 
 
 BY ET. EEV. E. A. GIBSOBT. 
 
 Francis MclSTeece Wiittle, fiftli Bishop of Virginia, was 
 the son of Mr. Eortescue Whittle, of Mecklenburg county, 
 Va., and was bom in that county July 7, 1823. He was 
 next to the youngest of nine sons. Only one of his brothers 
 survives him. 
 
 Bishop Whittle was educated at the Episcopal High 
 School, and taught for a while after leaving school. He 
 entered the Virginia Seminary and graduated with the class 
 of 1847. Of that class of fifteen he was the last survivor, 
 except the Eec. 0. Winter Bolton, of Pelhoweville, IST. Y. 
 
 He was ordained deason in St. Paul's Church, Alexan- 
 dria, July 16, 184Y, by Bishop Meade, and he was ordained 
 priest in St. John's Church, Charleston, Va. (now West 
 Virginia), October 8, 1848, hy the same Bishop. As deacon, 
 he was sent to Kanawha Parish, in what is now West Vir- 
 ginia. In October, 1849, he accepted a call to St. James's, 
 Northam Parish, Goochland county, Va., and there fulfilled 
 his ministry till October, . 1852, when he went to Grace 
 Church, Berryville, Va. In Berryville Bishop Whittle re- 
 mained, doing not only his Parish work, but much active 
 missionary work, until October, 1857, when he accepted the 
 rectorship of St. Paul's Church, Louisville, Ky. Here he 
 became a conspicuous leader in Church affairs and repre- 
 sented the Diocese in the General Convention. 
 
 He was in Louisville during the trying times of the war 
 between the States, and though he was Imown as an ardent 
 Southern sympathizer, so high was his character, so splen- 
 did his integrity and so pure his conduct, that he lost no 
 part of his influence or power for usefulness because of his 
 views. 
 
 On the 17th day of May, 1867, he was elected Assistant 
 
Rt. Rev. F. M. Whittm, D. D., IAj. D., 
 Fifth Bishop of Virginia. 
 
St. John's Ohueoh. 181 
 
 Bishop of the Diocese of Virginia, and was consecrated 
 Bishop April 30, 1868, in St. Paul's Church, Alexandria 
 (where he had been ordained deacon). His consecrators 
 were Kt. Rev. John Johns, Bishop of Virginia, Et. Eev. 
 Alfred Lee, Bishop of Delaware, and Et. Eev. G. T. Bedell, 
 Bishop of Ohio. Bishop Bedell preached the sermon. 
 
 Upon the death of Bishop Johns, April 5, 1876, Bishop 
 Whittle became Bishop of Virginia. 
 
 There were then twelve thousand communicants in the 
 Diocese of Virginia, which consisted of the States of Vir- 
 ginia and West Virginia. ' 
 
 The Diocese covered about sixty-seven thousand square 
 miles of territory. Much of the travel could be done only 
 in private conveyance, and private conveyances were scarce 
 in the country. The ravages of the war had been only par- 
 tially repaired and the Church people had suffered worse 
 proportionately than any other part of the population. Into 
 this field of work the Bishop threw himself with character- 
 .istic zeal, energy and self-denial, and when West Virginia 
 had been cut (6, in 18YY, he held the other 42,000 square 
 miles alone in spite of every effort on the part of clergy and 
 laity to divide it until 1883, when Bishop Eandolph was con- 
 secrated as his assistant. 
 
 In 1892 the Diocese of Southern Virginia was organized 
 with Bishop Eandolph. as Diocesan, and now has more com- 
 municants than the entire old Diocese had when Bishop 
 Whittle succeeded Bishop Johns. 
 
 Bishop Whittle married Emily Gary Fairfax, daughter 
 of Stewellyn Fairfax, of Alexandria, and had five children, 
 three of whom survived him. 
 
 Bishop Whittle was a faithful and godly man, a positive 
 man, a power and a power-making for uprightness of life in 
 whatever company he moved. Although apparently strong 
 beyond the ordinary, he suffered much pain and his suffer- 
 ings were borne with great fortitude. In every position 
 which he held in the Church his service was marked by dili- 
 gence, faithfulness, wisdom and courage. He went in and 
 out among his people, known of all men as a faithful min- 
 ister of Jesus Christ. 
 
 His character was laid out on large lines, his mind was 
 
■182 HiSTOET Heneico Paeish, 
 
 vigorous, his memory singularly accurate and retentive, and 
 his utterances, especially in the pulpit, were strong and em- 
 phatic to a degree which his hearers will never forget. 
 
 He was buried in Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond, Va., 
 on June 20, 1902, and the epitaph on his gravestone, after 
 his name and title, is by his own direction simply this: 
 "Psalm 51." 
 
Rt. Rev. R. A. Gibson, D. D., 
 Sixth and Present Bishop of Virginia. 
 
RT. EEV. ROBEET A. GIBSON, D. D. 
 
 BY EEV. E. A. GOODWIN. 
 
 Et. Eev. Eobert A. Gibson, D. D., sixth Bishop of Vir- 
 ginia, was born in Petersburg, Va., on July 9, 1846. 
 
 He is the son of Eev. Churchill J. Gibson, D. D., who for 
 more than fifty years was the rector of Grace Church, Peters- 
 burg, Va. 
 
 His mother was, before her marriage to Dr. Gibson, Miss 
 Lucy Fitzhugh Atkinson, sistor of Bishop Atkinson, of North 
 Carolina. 
 
 Bishop Gibson was educated at the Episcopal High School, 
 near Alexandria, Va., at Mt. Laurel Academy and at Hamp- 
 den Sidney College. He studied theology at the Theological 
 Seminary of Virginia, graduating in ISTO. 
 
 Though but a boy, he was in the Confederate Army. As 
 a member of the Eockbridge Artillery he loyally and faith- 
 fully served his country in the last trying year of the war 
 between the States, and reluctantly surrendered with his 
 command at Appomattox. 
 
 He was ordained deacon by Bishop Whittle in the chapel 
 of the Theological Seminary, June 24, 1870. Immediately 
 after his ordination he began work as missionary of what 
 was then called the Southeastern Convocation of Virginia. 
 He labored faithfully to revive old Parishes which had been 
 desolated by war, and to open new places for the Church in 
 Dinwiddie, Nottoway and three other counties on the south 
 side of James river. While engaged in this work, he was 
 ordained priest by Bishop Johns in Grace Church, Peters- 
 burg, Va., on the "4th of June, 1871. 
 
 Obliged by sickness to leave this field of missionary work, 
 after eighteen months of active service, he became assistant 
 to Eev. Dr. Peterkin, of St. James Church, Eichmond, Va., 
 and continued in that position for six years. The last four 
 years of this time his energies were given chiefiy to Moore 
 Memorial Chapel (now the Church of the Holy Trinity), 
 which had been built by St. James' congregation as a mission. 
 
184 HisitoET Heneico Paeish, 
 
 While assistant at St. James he married Miss SusanBald- 
 win Stuart, a daughter of Hon. A. H. H. Stuart, of Staun- 
 ton, Va. The joy and success of his future ministry were 
 doubtless increased by her earnest interest and loving sym- 
 pathy in his work. 
 
 In 1878 he became rector of Trinity church, Parkersburg, 
 W. Va. 
 
 The Diocese of West Virginia had but recently been 
 organized, and Parkersburg was the Bishop's place of resi- 
 dence. Active, earnest work in the centre of the new Diocese 
 was very important, and no mistake was made when Dr. 
 Peterkin's assistant was called to do this work. During the 
 nine years of his rectorship of Trinity church a new stone 
 church was built and consecrated. A Parish house was 
 built, a chapel was built on the southern edge of the Parish, 
 and the Episcopal residence was designed and completed 
 under the superintendence of the Vestry of his church. 
 
 In 188T he removed to Cincinnati, Ohio, to take charge of 
 Christ church — ^the mother church of all that section of 
 country. Under his rectorship the church was rebuilt, and 
 the Constitution of the ancient corporation adapted to mod- 
 ern needs. The membership of the church increased, and 
 the Sunday school was doubled. 
 
 When Bishop Eandolph was elected Assistant Bishop of 
 Virginia, Mr. Gibson received a number of votes for that 
 office. When Bishop Newton was elected he was again voted 
 for. After the death of Bishop Newton he was elected 
 Bishop Coadjutor of Virginia on June 30, 189Y. He was 
 consecrated on ISTovember 3d of the same year in Holy Trin- 
 ity Church, Richmond, Va. His consecrators were Bishops 
 Whittle, Peterkin and Eandolph. He was presented by 
 Bishops Peterkin and Vincent. The sermon was preached 
 by Bishop H. M. Thompson. Bishop Gribson entered upon 
 his new duties with his accustomed earnestness and zeal. 
 Owing to the age. and infirmities of Bishop Whittle, most of 
 the work of the Diocese devolved upon him. Upon the death 
 of the beloved and revered Bishop Whittle, June 18, 1902, 
 he became the sixth Bishop of Virginia, and is now zealously 
 leading his Diocese in its great missionary work from the 
 mountains to the sea. 
 
Rt. Rev. J. B. Newton, D. D., 
 Assistant Bishop of Virginia 1894-1897. 
 
KT. EEV. JOHN B. NEWTON, D. D. 
 
 BY EEV. E. A. GOODWIIT. 
 
 The Et. Eev. John Brockenbrough Newton, D. D., Bishop 
 Coadjutor of the Diocese of Virginia, was born in West- 
 moreland county, Va., Eebruary 7, 1839. 
 
 He was educated at the Episcopal High School near Alex- 
 andria, the Edge Hill School, and Schouler's School, near 
 .[Fredericksburg. He attended a Medical School in Winches- 
 |er, Va., and afterwards graduated from the Medical College 
 of Virginia, at Eichmond. 
 
 At the beginning of the war he entered tiie Confederate 
 army as a private in the Fortieth Virginia Eegiment, Gen. A. 
 P. Hill's division. He was soon appointed assistant sur- 
 geon ; 'afterwards was promoted to full surgeon, in which 
 capacity he served till the close of the war. 
 
 He married Miss Eoberta Page Williamson, November 
 5, 1862. 
 
 At the close of the war he settled in his native county, and 
 began to practice his profession. In the absence of a rector, 
 Br. Newton conducted lay services. While thus engaged, 
 he -felt the Master's call to enter the sacred ministry. He 
 studied theology privately, and supported his family by 
 practicing medicine. 
 
 He was ordained deacon by Bishop Whittle, June 25, 1871, 
 and presbyter the following year by Bishop Johns. He 
 commenced his ministry in South Earnham Parish, Essex 
 county, Va., where he did excellent work for four years. His 
 next charge was St. Luke's, Norfolk, Va. In this church 
 his work was much blessed. Dtiring his rectorship of eight 
 years the congregation grew so steadily and rapidly that it 
 was twice necessary to enlarge the church building. In Sep- 
 tember, 1884, he accepted a call to the Monumental church, 
 Richmond, Va., where he worked earnestly, faithfully and 
 
186 HiSTOET Heneico Paeish, 
 
 successfully till the day of his ordination to the Episcopate. 
 
 Dr. Newton was elected Assistant Bishop January 31, 
 1894, by a special Council which met in St. Paul's church, 
 Richmond, Va. 
 
 He was consecrated in Monumental church on the 16th 
 of Hay, 1894. 
 
 Wiliiin less than one week he was off on his first visitation 
 through the Diocese; and from that time until his sudden 
 death on the 28th of May, 1897, he grew in the respect, the 
 confidence and the love of the clergy and laity of his Diocese. 
 For several years Bishop Newton had represented the Diocese 
 of Virginia in the General Convention. His clear judg- 
 ment, high character, earnest manner and sound churchman- 
 ship won the confidence of hoth clergy and laity of all schools 
 of thought. 
 
 That he was called to the Episcopate in Virginia, where 
 his whole life had been spent, and, consequently, where he 
 was best known, shows that his brethren loved and revered 
 his manliness and piety. 
 
 As a preacher his style was simple, earnest and energetic. 
 He preached "Jesus Christ and Him Crucified" with the 
 true eloquence of a loving' heart. He was sought for as a 
 mission preacher, and he led many to Christ. 
 
 He was a man of gentle, modest, simple habits. His heart 
 was warm and affectionate. His mind was clear, and led 
 straight to the truth. His life was pure, true and faithful. 
 
 He was buried in Hollywood, Richmond, Va., by Bishops, 
 clergy and laymen, who felt that a dear brother and faithful 
 servant of God had gone to be with Christ.

 [A hiatus exists in the burials between the years 1826 and 1836. 
 The vestry book has been mutilated. On the page before the burials 
 for 1836 seven pages are cut out; these doubtless contained the 
 burials between the above dates. Many burials were made between 
 1815 and 1830 of which no record exist. Thos. H. Wynne, Esq., 
 fills an unmarked grave near the frame school building; his grave is 
 enclosed with an iron fence. Chancellor Geo. Wythe also occupies 
 an undesignated grave, as do hundreds of others in the old church- 
 yard. The two last were not buried during this interim, but the 
 fact of their burial in the churchyard is noted here because omitted 
 from all the records. — J. S. M.]

 •Jacob Ege, Grerman tailor, the builder of the "old Stone House," 
 at the northeast corner of Main and Nineteenth streets, biiilt of rub- 
 ble stone, evidently boulders from James river. Jacob Ege was the 
 owner of a lot in the plan of Richmond by Wm. Byrd, in 1736. The 
 house is the oldest standing in the city. It is erroneously stated that 
 it was once the headquarters of Washington; a ludicrous assumption, 
 in that Washington at no time during the Revolution had his head- 
 quarters in Richmond, nor is it known that he was here at all in the 
 period; further, the structure originally comprised only two rooms, 
 with contracted attic, in which the family of the owner had not over- 
 ample housing. Indeed, had Washington with his staff been in the 
 vicinity, the owners of spacious mansions in the neighboring coun- 
 try would have felt themselves privileged in entertaining him.

 ♦Happily, the burial stones in the appealing cemetery were for 
 years objects of ruthless disfiguration by the idle and thoughtless, 
 and many were shamefully maimed. For years, it has been stated, 
 that cows were allowed to graze in the hallowed enclosure. About 
 1875 the late Thomas H. Wynne, of venerating spirit, was chairman 
 of a committee appointed by the City Council to see to the disposition 
 of an annual appropriation for the care of the cemetery. An early 
 exercise by the committee was the recutting of disfigured epitaphs, 
 and the gathering up of fragmentary tombstones and their subse- 
 quent preservation by securing them with iron clamps to the walls 
 of the grounds at its southeast point on the Twenty-fifth street side.

 that Land, that the Damage to me would be too great to have 
 another of a mile long cut thro' it. I fhould be very glad if 
 you would pleafe to think Eichmond a proper place, and 
 confidering the great number of people that live below it, and 
 would pay their Devotions there, that would not care to go 
 fo much higher, I can't but think it would be agreeable to 
 moft of the people, and if they will agree to have it there, I 
 will give them two of the beft lots, that are not taken up, and 
 befides give them any Pine Timber they can find on that 
 Side Shockoe Creek, and Wood for burning of Bricks into the 
 bargain. I hope the Gent, of the Veftry will believe me a

 Note 1. Curls Church. — TiiOTigh the orthography Curls 
 appears to have quite generally obtained at the period of the 
 text, and is, we are led to conclude, the only usage at the 
 present time, it is obviously incorrect; the derivation being 
 undoubtedly from the Virginia family name of Curie, to 
 members of which, grants of land, extending over a period of 
 one hundred years, may be found recorded in the books of 
 the State Land Registry Office. A prominent representative 
 of the family was the patriot Wilson Koscow Curie, of the 
 Revolutionary era. 
 
 The church was situated on the north side of James river, 
 distant some eight or nine mile below the -city of Eichmond. 
 Bishop Meade terms it "the Four Mile Creek, or Curls 
 Church," and erroneously, [as is patent from the text,] gives 
 the time of its erection as 1748. He bases his conclusion 
 upon the following extract from a letter bearing date that 
 year, from Eichard Eandolph of Curls, to his son Eichard: 
 'Tray assist Wilkinson all you can in getting the church 
 finished, and get the shells that will be wanted carted before 
 the roads get bad. The joiner can inform you what shells I 
 have at the Falls ; if more are wanted you must get them."*

 The Kandolphs frequently undertook building. It is said 
 that "William Eandolph, of Turkey Island, the first of the 
 name in the Colony of Virginia, laid the foundations of the 
 wealth and importance of his family, from the profits ac- 
 quired in "building barns."t One account states that he 
 landed in the Colony of Virginia with a "broad-axe upon his 
 shoulder."* Col. Kichard Eandolph contracted, in 1739, to 
 build the church at Richmond, agreeing to complete it by the 
 10th of June, 1Y41. It is not likely that it was so late as 
 1748 in being finished. At a meeting of the parish vestry, 
 held October the 2d, 1742, a meeting of the Vestry was 
 agreed upon, to be held at Curls Church in Ifovember follow- 
 ing, to treat with undertakers for building a Chapel at Deep 
 Run, and an appropriation was made towards the same of 
 10,000 lbs. of tobacco. This was, in all probability, the 
 Church mentioned in the letter above quoted from. In May, 
 1826, Dr. John Adams presented to the Vestry of St. John's 
 Church, Richmond, the baptismal font which had been used 
 at Curls Church. § It is of white marble, and is in perfect 
 preservation. Curls Church was demolished within the past 
 twenty years.

 Note 3. Thomas Jefferson. — The ancestors of the Jeffer- 
 son family in Virginia are said to have emigrated from near 
 Mount Snowden, in Wales. They were among the first set- 
 tlers of the Colony. The name, Jefferson, appears as the 
 representative from Fleur de Hundred, in the Colonial As- 
 sembly, which, by order of Governor Teardly, was convened 
 in the choir of the Church at Jamestown, on the 30th of July, 
 1619. This was the first legislative body of Europeans, [so 
 far as our historical records exhibit,] that ever assembled in 
 the 'New World. The first Jefferson of whom any definite 
 accounts are preserved, was Thomas Jefferson, who resided at 
 Osborne's, on James River, in the now county of Chester- 
 field, which was formed from Henrico in 1748. He occu- 
 pied a respectable social station, and was possessed of a com- 
 petency. His children were three in number — sons : Thomas, 
 of the text, [who died in the year 1731, his brother Peter 
 being his executor,] Eield and Peter, the father of President 
 Jefferson, who was born February, 1708, and married, in 
 1738, Jane, the daughter of Isham Randolph, of Dungeress, 
 in Goochland coimty. Peter Jefferson, though he enjoyed 
 but few advantages of early education, was a man of vigor- 
 ous intellect. Having adopted the profession of a surveyor, 
 by continuous application he had made himself so proficient

 in his calling, that he was chosen, in connection with Joshua 
 Fry, Professor of Mathematics in William and Mary College, 
 to continue the boundary line between Virginia and North 
 Carolina, and afterwards assisted Mr. Fry in preparing a 
 map of the Colony of Virginia. Peter Jefferson was one of 
 the first settlers, [about the year 1737,] of that portion of 
 the county of Groochland which now forms that of Albemarle 
 ■ — the latter being formed in 1744. Goochland itself was 
 carved from Henrico, in 1727. Peter Jefferson was a man 
 of extraordinary physical strength ; he could "head up," that 
 is raise from their sides to an upright position, at once, two 
 hogsheads of tobacco weighing near a thousand pounds each. 
 He died in 1757, leaving a widow, [who survived until 
 1776,j with six daughters and two sons, of whom Thomas, 
 then fourteen years of age, was the elder.

 Note 4. Parish Levies. — By enactment, the sheriffs of 
 the county, or an appointment of one of their number by re- 
 spective parish vestries, was required to collect the public 
 and parish levies, giving bond and security for the faithful 
 performance of his duties. The assessments were made for 
 loose tobacco, and for every hundred pounds paid in hogs- 
 head, an allowance of eight per cent, was made for the hogs- 
 head or "cask." The collector was empowered to distrain 
 for failure or delay in payment. Each parish was required 
 to support its own paupers, and the inhabitants of one parish 
 were forbidden, under a penalty, to entertain, hire or employ 
 any tithable person from another parish^ unless he or she 
 could produce a receipt from the collector of the parish from

 whence removing, for the taxes for the preceding year. All 
 vagrants were adjudged "rogues and vagahonds," and were 
 bound out for one year, if a hirer could he found. But if of 
 such evil repute that no one would receive them, the County 
 Court was empowered to order them "thirty-nine lashes on 
 the bare back, well laid on, at the whipping-post, and then 
 discharged." They were liable, however, to re-arrest and 
 repeated punishment. Vagrants and paupers were author- 
 ized to be returned to the parishes of which they had last 
 been resident. The Church Wardens were empowered to 
 bind out, to the age of maturity, the children of such per- 
 sons as were deemed incapable of supporting or bringing 
 them up in "honest courses."

 N'oTE 6. Joseph Mayo emigrated from the Island of Bar- 
 badoes, to Virginia, about the year 1727.* He was a mer- 
 chant, and from the text, appears to have also followed sur- 
 veying. His residence was Powhatan, the location of which 
 is well authenticated as a residence of the aboriginal poten- 
 tate of this namct It is about a half mile below Rich- 
 mond, and lies "to the south of the road which runs paral- 
 lel with the river, and on a verge of the second bank, or 
 upper level of alluvium, some forty feet above the lower. 
 The ground falls abruptly on the front or river side, and 
 more gradually on the other quarters. On the east, the 
 deep channel of a brook separates it from the most command- 
 ing point of the upland." Immediately on the selection of

 Jamestown for the seat of tlie Colony, "Ifewport, Smith and 
 twentie others were sent to discover the head of the river. 
 By divers small habitations they passed, in six days they ar- 
 rived at a town called Powhatan, consisting of some twelve 
 houses, pleasantly seated on a hill; before it three fertile 
 isles; about it many of their corne-fields; the place is very 
 pleasant, and strong by nature — of this place the prince is 
 called Powhatan, and the people Powhatans — to this place 
 the river is navigable ; but higher, within a myle, by reason 
 of the Eockes and Isles, there is not passage for a small 
 Boat; this they call the Falles."* "A granite boulder, about 
 a ton in weight, is pointed out as 'Powhatan's Tombstone,' " 
 but there is no evidence justifying the designation. It 
 bears many traces of rude carving. A row of symmetri- 
 cal holes, an inch or more deep, runs along the top. On the 
 sloping side, are graven marks of the shape of a child's and 
 an adult's foot, a horse-shoe, and others less distinguishable. 
 These are obviously of far greater age than other cuttings on 
 the same surface, which are dated 1741, and which give in 
 two or three places, the initial M., of the family in posses- 
 sion: Mayo."§ In a narrative of "Capt. Newport's discov- 
 eries, Virginia," May 21st, 1607, Powhatan is thus describ- 
 ed : "We came to the second inlet described in the ryver ; over 
 against on Popham syde, in the habitatyon of the greate 
 Kyng Pawatah [one of the early modes of spelling Powha- 
 tan,] which I call Pawatah's Tower. It is scituat upon a

 peaze, tobacco, pompions, gowrds, hempe, flaxe, &c. ; and 
 were any art used to the naturall state of this place it would 
 be a goodly habitatyon."!! The brother of Joseph Mayo, 
 Major William Mayo, is supposed to have settled in the 
 Colony about the same time. He accompanied, as one of 
 the surveyors, in the years 1Y28-9, the commission which ran 
 the dividing line between Virginia and N'orth Carolina, so 
 raeily chronicled in the Westover Mss, He also, in 1737, 
 laid off for Col. William Byrd, [the second of the name,] 
 the town of Richmond. The brothers were the ancestors of 
 the present very respectable family of Mayo in Virginia. 
 Col. Wm. Mayo, Jr., of Pawhatan, served in the State line 
 during the revolution, and was a member of the House of 
 Delegates in 1780. 
 
 The late Hon. Joseph Mayo, for a long series of years 
 Mayor of Richmond, a worthy representative of this family, 
 compiled, we have been informed, a genealogy which con- 
 nected with the Mayos of England. It is to be hoped that 
 it will be made public; the editor craves the privilege of 
 copying. 
 
 IsToTE 6. Processionivg. — By Statute, every fourth year, 
 between the last day of September and the last day of March 
 following, the bounds of every person's land were required 
 to be processioned, or "gone round," and the land-marks re- 
 newed. Such marks being made by chopping the trees. The 
 -parishes were divided into precincts, and free-holders, at 
 least two to every precinct, appointed to perform such duty.

 Note 12. Darhy Enroughty. — The locality, Darbytown, 
 situate a few miles below Eichmond, owes its designation to 
 its having been at one time almost exclusively peopled by 
 those bearing the name Darby or Enroughty. It being a re- 
 markable fact that the two names, in common parlance among 
 them, are regarded as synonymous and interchangeable. The 
 first, E'arby, obtaining prevalence because of its brevity and 
 easier pronunciation. (It is claimed, and with apparent rea- 
 son, that the name was originally Derby, which among the 
 lower English classes is even now pronounced, as by those 
 simple people.) Those of them, however, who are able to 
 write their names, (in doing so,) generally use that of En- 
 roughty — ^which name indeed a majority of them affix to 
 legal instruments. 
 
 We venture the highly probable conjecture that the indi- 
 vidual above was the progentor of this humble, honest and 
 simple family. His neighbors and siicceeding generations, 
 with a wayward ruthlessness which is constantly repeating 
 itself in matters of popular designation, adopting the cog- 
 nomen which least taxed their linguistic skill.

 12. William Winston,* son of (Isaac,^) was called Langa- 
 loo William. "He was a great hunter ; had a quarter in Bed- 
 ford or Albemarle County; spent half the year there hunt- 
 ing deer. He was fond of the Indians, and dressed like 
 them, and was a favorite with them. An amour with the 
 daughter of an Indian Chief, who was engaged to another 
 Chief, involved him in difficulties with the savages. They 
 besieged him in a log fort for a week. He defended himself 
 with the aid of three negroes with rifles. Tom, one of the 
 negroes, stood guard every night; at length the favorite 
 squaw went out and made peace between the belligerents. 
 Langaloo William was a great Indian fighter."* He was 
 endowed with those impassioned powers of natural and all- 
 prevailing oratory, which rendered his nephew, Patrick Hen- 
 ry, the, patriot, immortal. Wirt, in his life of the latter, 
 quotes the following anecdote from a correspondent — Wm. 
 Pope : "I have often heard my father, who was intimately ac- 
 quainted with this William Winston, say, that he was the 
 greatest orator he ever heard — Patrick Henry excepted. That 
 during the last French and Indian war, and soon after Brad- 
 dock's defeat, when the militia were marched to the frontiers 
 of Virginia against the Indians, this William Winston was a 
 Lieutenant of a company. That the men -who were indif- 
 ferently clothed, without tents, and exposed to the rigor and 
 inclemency of the weather, discovered great aversion to the 
 service, and were anxious and were clamorous to return to 
 their families; when William Winston mounting a stump 
 (the common rostrum of the field orator of Virginia,) and 
 addressed them vdth keenness of invective, and declaimed 
 with such force of eloquence on liberty and patriotism, that 
 when he concluded, the general cry was 'Let us march on; 
 lead us against the enemy !' and they were now willing, nay 
 anxious, to encounter all those difficulties and dangers which 
 but a few minutes before had almost produced mutiny."

 John Coles was buried beneath the old Church at Richmond,

 We take this occasion to express our indebtedness for valu- 
 able information embodied in the preceding note, which was 
 rendered us with a prompt heartiness, by the late Hon. John 
 Anthony Winston, of Mobile, and General Edmund Winston 
 Pettus, of Selma, Ala. ; whose action is the more higUy ap- 
 preciated, because they were the sole representatives of the 
 Winston Family, from whom we received any manner of as- 
 sistance — the remainder of our many applications having 
 been entirely neglected, or met with unj)ardonable rudeness.

 son when, being a Federal in politics, he was displaced. The 
 Colonel and his lady were a jovial couple, and dispensed a 
 generous and hearty hospitality. Their residence at Rich- 
 mond was the commodious one now known as Allan's, (the 
 present owner being the widow of the late John Allan, Esq., 
 commonly termed "Jock," the patron of Edgar Allan Poe,) 
 situated at the corner of Eifth and Main streets — the 
 grounds of which extended to Sixth street. A frequent

184 ITOTES. 
 
 of the old Congress of 1Y88,) born 1Y38, died Dec. 23d, 
 1800. Colonel Adams was a member of the House of 
 Burgesses 1773 ; of the Convention of 1775, and of the 
 Virginia Assembly frequently afterwards. He was an en- 
 terprising and public spirited citizen, inaugurating many 
 and fostering most of the schemes of local improvement of 
 his day. His means were ample and his landed possessions 
 within the limits, and in the immediate vicinity of Richmond 
 probably more extensive than any other, then resident. His 
 residence on Eichmond or Church Hill is still standing, being 
 the large wooden building at the corner of 22d and Grace 
 streets, so long occupied by the late Loftin N. EUett, Esq., 
 and now used as a convent by the Roman Catholic Church. 
 When first occupied by Colonel Adams it was within the 
 outer limits of a thick grove of forest trees, a representative 
 of which, a primeval oak, of monarchial dimensions, is stiU 
 standing a few hundred yards distant, near the corner of 
 24th and Grace streets. Both the mansion of Col. Adams 
 and the venerable St. John's Church were used as barracks 
 by the British soldiery, under the traitor Arnold, during his 
 occupancy of Eichmond in 1781. The efforts of Col. Adams 
 to induce the tide of improvement in the growing little town 
 and embryo city of Richmond in the direction of his landed 
 possessions on Richmond Hill, were constant and strenuous. 
 A venerable descendant, a grand-daughter — Mrs. • Eliza 
 Grifiin Carrington, now in her 83d year, relates an 
 authentic tradition of her childhood: That quite a warm 
 friendship at one time existed between her ancestor and 
 Thomas Jeflferson, who was a frequent guest of Col. Adams.

 tion of the Assembly of Virginia, to remove tlie seat of 
 government from Williamsburg to Riclmiond, Jefferson, 
 who was cognizant then of the measure, pledged himself to 
 Col. Adams, in case of its success, to secure the location of 
 the public buildings on Richmond Hill. Colonel Adams, in 
 view of the prospective ultimate advantages in the enhance- 
 ment in value of his surrounding property, promising a dona- 
 tion of the requisite sites, for which were proposed command- 
 ing points. The Act for the removal of the seat of govern- 
 ment was passed June 4th, 1YY9,* though the definite location 
 of the building was not indicated until the May term of 1780, 
 when it was directed to be made upon Shockoe Hill. The 
 following were the directors therein nominated to carry into 
 effect the provisions of the Act, viz. : "His Excellency, 
 Thomas Jefferson, esquire, Archibald Gary, Robert Carter 
 Nicholas, Richard Adams, Edmund Randolph, Turner 
 Southall, Robert Goode, James Buchanan, and Samuel Du 
 "Vall."t Mr. Jefferson incurred the life long enmity of Col. 
 Adams because of the disappointment of the latter. Colonel 
 Adams, at a period little later, erected, in Shockoe Creek 
 Valley, upon the site now occupied by the depot buildings of 
 the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, a substantial and spacious 
 market house for the convenience of the residents of Rich- 
 mond Hill. Three sons of Colonel Adams were also promi- 
 nent and useful citizens: Colonel Richard, Jr., (born Ifov. 
 28th, 1760, died January 9th, 1817;) Samuel Griffin, (born 
 May 5th, 1776, died July 15th, 1821;) (both of whom 
 served in the Virginia Assembly,) and Dr. John, (born July

 Mayor of Kichmond; a daughter, Annie, (born Oct. 2Yth, 
 l';r62, died Oct. 27th, 1820,) married Col. Mayo Carrington, 
 of Cumberland County. Colonel Adams and many of his 
 descendants lie buried in the family cemetery, provided by 
 himself, situated at the comer of 23d and Marshall streets. 
 It occupies one-fourth of a square, and is substantially en- 
 closed with a high brick' wall. There is within our knowl- 
 edge, only one other private burying-ground for the dead 
 within the city limits, which is that of the Pickett family, 
 immediately adjoining this, the enclosure of which has fallen 
 to decay, and all of its tombstones have been shattered or 
 defaced by the sacriligeous hands of wanton urchins, who, ■ 
 until police surveilliance was instituted, threatened to reduce 
 the hallowed grounds of the time eloquent St. John's, to the 
 same lamentable condition — ^many of its monuments present- 
 ing painful evidences of their earnest assiduity in the heart- 
 less work of mutilation and obliteration. 
 
 We are not aware that there have been any interments in 
 the Pickett grounds for a number of years past. 
 
 Colonel Eichard Adams, Jr., inherited the paternal resi- 
 dence; his brother Samuel erected the large mansion which 
 formerly stood at the corner of 22d and Broad streets, and 
 which was latterly known as Bellevue Hospital. It was de- 
 stroyed by fire some years since. One of the Public School 
 Houses now occupies its site, and Dr. John built and occu- 
 pied that which is now known as the Van Lew residence, 
 situated at the corner of 24th and Grace streets.

 Note 29. Thomas Watkvns. — The Watkins family of 
 Virginia is supposed to be of Welsh descent. The name of 
 James Watkins appears among the early emigrants of 1608. 
 He may have been the ancestor of the family in Virginia. 
 The first of the name of whom anything definite is known, 
 was Thomas Watkins, of Swift Creek, Cumberland County, 
 whose will bears date 1760. He had eight children. His 
 eldest son, Thomas, of Chickahominy, (of the text) is thus 
 spoken of by the late Benjamin Watkins Leigh, his great 
 nephew: "Of Thomas Watkins, of Chickahominy, I have 
 heard very full accounts from my mother, (his father was the 
 Rev. William Leigh, of Chesterfield County,) and from my 
 uncle Thomas, both of whom knew him well. He was a man 
 of the highest respectability, in every point of view, and in 
 particular, a man of indefatigable industry." He reared a 
 large family of children, four sons and seven daughters, from 
 whom have proceeded many descendants of various family 
 names, in Virginia and the Southern States. 
 
 His brother, Benjamin Watkins, married Miss Cary, of 
 Warwick. He was the first clerk of Chesterfield County, 
 which office he held until his death. He was a man of

 nated from the swamp near which it was built and which still 
 retains its original name, was situated about twelve miles east 
 of Eichmond, upon the continuation of what is known as the 
 Nine Mile Eoad. We have been informed that the original 
 church was destroyed by fire, and another built upon its site 
 by the Baptist denomination. The following extract deter- 
 mines the latter event : 
 
 "About 1773, he— Rev. Elijah Baker, began to stretch 
 his lines, and to travel more extensively. Coming down into 
 the lower end of Henrico, he, in conjunction with one or two 
 others, planted Boar Swamp Church."* 
 
 The church has been frequently repaired, and its appear- 
 ance, doubtless, somewhat altered. It has for a number of 
 years past bee n known as Antioch Church.

 this f araily, which though unbroken as regards names, and 
 extending almost down to the last generation, is deficient in 
 dates. He has also manuscript material pertaining to the 
 history of the family, who were originally, in point of reli- 
 gious belief, of the Society of Friends. The late Governor 
 James Pleasants, Jr., John Hampden Pleasants, his son, the 
 able journalist, founder and until his death in 1846 editor of

 F. — Robert Pleasants, p. 70, line 2. The son of John, the 
 younger, (vide preceding note.) He possessed a vigorous in- 
 tellect, and was a man of most indomitable energy. He en- 
 gaged in mercantile pursuits as well as planting, and was re- 
 markably successful in the acquisition of wealth. He owned 
 and resided upon the Curie's Plantation. He entered heartily 
 into all schemes of philanthropy, and agricultural and me- 
 chanical improvements. A subject, in which he was deeply 
 interested, was the emancipation of the African race from 
 slavery in this country — in behalf of which he was in con- 
 stant correspondence with the early advocates of the meas- 
 ure, both here and in England. The warmest esteem existed 
 between him and the prominent philanthropists of Pennsyl- 
 vania, Anthony Benzenet, James Pemberton, John Smith 
 and others. Though he possessed, a number of slaves, he 
 emancipated them all by will. He conducted a correspond- 
 ence with Eobert Boiling, Jr., of Ohellowe, Buckingham 
 county, on the culture of the vine, the manufacture of wine in 
 Virginia, and upon kindred subjects, in 1765-70. He died 
 near the close of the last century.

 relic of the past: "This old church has been substantially 
 and beautifully repaired, and will be re-opened for ser- 
 vice . The original designs which had been shame- 
 fully changed, have been restored. The high arched ceiling 
 has been replaced, the walls replastered, finished with a hard 
 coat, and pencilled to represent stone. A new gallery has 
 been put up in the end of the church, and other modern im- 
 provements not inharmonious with its original design intro- 
 duced. It is now one of the most beautiful, comfortable and 
 effective of the country churches."

 diary kept by him in Spotsylvania county, in 1766, men-

 at adaptation to its pronunciation.

 caused its selection during our late unhappy strife as the site

 the heroes of the "lost cause." 
 
 The Cemetery (in which there is doubtless a number of un- 
 marked graves) contains more than a score of monuments to 
 the dead, bearing the family names of Mayo, Poythress, Ma-

 more interesting of them are the following :

 The two preceding are companion stones, lying side by 
 side, prone upon the earth. They are, in dimensions, six feet 
 six inches in length, by three feet three inches in width, and 
 are fully five inches in thickness, the edges being rounded into 
 the ogee form. The material is apparently a kind of marble 
 of great hardness and density ; in color, a slatish gray. The 
 perfect preservation of the inscriptions in all of their min- 
 utiae and the still unmarred and polished surface of the 
 stones, are evidences of their unusual durability. The carved 
 inscriptions were palpably by a skilled hand. The family 
 coat of arms being most artistically executed. The Mayo 
 coat of arms is as follows : A^ure, vair gules argent, between 
 three coronets or. Crest, a unicorn's head erased, bearing a 
 chevron vair gules and argent. Here the .arms appear with 
 a crescent for difference, and are rendered with an Esquire's 
 helmet surmounting the shield, and an exquisite mantling of 
 scroll work.

 Winston family in Virginia,- is traditionally accepted by its 
 members as rendered in the note, yet the following early men- 
 tion of the name, which has come to the knowledge of the 
 editor since the latter was penned, he deems it proper to of- 
 fer here: He finds upon record in the Virginia Land Regis- 
 try Office, grants of land to Willicm, Winston, the first, of 
 date October 21st, 1687, and the last, 1706, numbering 
 nearly 7,000 acres, and a grant of 1,079 acres in "New Kent

 ly satisfied that Isaac Winston^ had only two daughters, Mary 
 
APPENDIX. 203 
 
 and Sarah, the former of whom was grand-mother of Mrs. 
 Madison. He extracts the following from "The Paine Fami- 
 ly Eegister," No. 1, Albany, N. Y., January 1st, 1857, edi- 
 ted by Henry D. Paine, M. D. : 
 
 "John Payne was an English gentleman of affluence and 
 education. He settled in Goochland county on James river, 
 Va. He married Anna Fleming, grand-daughter of Sir 
 Thomas Fleming, second son of the Earl of Wigdon, who 
 came to this country in 1616, and settled in New Kent coun- 
 ty, Va., where he lived and died. 
 
 John Payne,* his son, married Mary Coles, of Hanover

 His children were : William, Temple, Dolly, Lucy, Anna, 
 Mary, John and Isa^c. 
 
 William died unmarried. 
 
 Dolly married James Madison, 4th President of the
