| Notes | Parish was organized in 1715; and the first of three brick churches on this property was finished about 1750. King George II of England gave the parish a silver communion service, Bible and prayer book in 1752. The grave of the first rector, Rev. James Reed, early advocate of public schools, is in the church yard. The present church edifice dates back to 1873. |
