Settled predominantly by members of the Church of England, Virginia parishes rapidly changed in the burgeoning colony. This database, the second in a two-volume set, is a collection of records from these early parishes. Originally published in the mid-nineteenth century, it provides the names of many early ministers and parishes within the state. In many cases, a brief history of the minister and parish is included along with the names of prominent families. It contains the names of about 9,000 persons associated with these churches. For researchers of early Virginian ancestors, this can be an informative database.
