{"product_id":"history-of-truro-parish-in-slaughter-9780806346014","title":"History of Truro Parish in Virginia","description":"The work at hand, a history of Truro Parish, was compiled by Reverend Philip Slaughter from the parish vestry book, a document discovered by Dr. Slaughter and one so scarce as to have eluded the researches of Bishop Meade, the foremost historian of the Episcopal Church in Virginia. Slaughter's coverage is strongest from 1732 to 1785, and it ranges from the establishment and changing contours of the parish, to the history of individual churches (such as Payne's Church, Pohick, and Zion), to the composition of the parish vestry (which, by the way, numbered such Virginia luminaries as George Washington, George Mason, and George Fairfax), to church accounts and levies, and so on. To the history itself Mr. Goodwin has appended a number of important genealogical gems, namely, a complete listing of Truro vestrymen, church wardens, and other officials; a list of several hundred Fairfax County voters in 1744; and genealogical and biographical notes of the following vestrymen: Martin Cockburn, William Grayson, Alexander Henderson, George Johnston, Lawrence Lewis, Cleon Moore, Peter Wagener, and Lund Washington.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Slaughter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0806346019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780806346014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Genealogical Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.41d","brand":"Philip Slaughter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059782283519,"sku":"9780806346014","price":29.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7d467e55-53e4-4922-bccc-00ce68b8389c.jpg?v=1685060304","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/history-of-truro-parish-in-slaughter-9780806346014","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
