Kingston Parish register : Mathews, Gloucester, and Middlesex counties, Virginia : slaves and slaveholders, 1746-1827 / Martha W. McCartney.

Kingston Parish register : (spine title)

McCartney, Martha W., 1937- (author.).

Summary:

"The boundaries of Mathews County, formed in 1791, embraced virtually all of ancient Kingston Parish, formed between 1651 and 1657. Mathews County also included some acreage to the south and west, within neighboring Ware Parish. Fortunately for family history researchers, social historians, and other scholars, substantial portions of Kingston Parish's early parish register (1746-1827), which contains parishioners' vital records, also includes the dates on which their slaves were born and baptized. In some instances, a slave's date of death is recorded. All of this important information is being published for the first time. Researchers should note that throughout the antebellum period, birth records were important legal documents because slaves, as personal property, became taxable when they attained a certain age. Occasionally, slaveholders from nearby Ware Parish and Christ Church Parish in Middlesex County had their slaves baptized in Kingston Parish"--Back cover.
