Description

Excerpt from Wills of George Washington and His Immediate Ancestors In the session of March 165 5 - 6 the Assembly directed that all counties not already divided into parishes should be so divided by the next county court, as the improvident saveing of those who had neglected to do this, made the inhabitants loose the greatest benefitt and comfort a Christian can have, by hearing the word and vse of the blessed sacraments. Hen ing, I., 400. The act was repeated in March 1657 - 8, and it must have been under one of these that Washington parish was laid off. In 1724 the parish was about thirty miles in length, five in breadth, and contained about 200 hundred fami lies. There were two churches in it, one called the Round Hill church, and the annual salary of the minister pounds of tobacco. The gentleman who bequeathed my Glebe to the parish [william Horton, his will bore date 10 January, left the whole tract (containing 440 acres), to be disposed of by the vestry for the better maintenance of a minister and school master, the Vestry made no division of the land, but gave it to me as a glebe, with this proviso, that I provide a sufficient per son to instruct the youth in reading, writing and arithmetic under my inspection, which condition I have complied with. Lawrence De Baits, minister of Washington Parish in 1724. Printed in Perry, Church in Virginia, 292. The glebe was di rected to be sold in 1778.
