CORNWALL PARISH, IN THE COUNTY OF CHARLOTTE.
The county of Charlotte was taken from Lunenburg in the year
1764. The parish was separated from Cumberland parish, Lunenburg,
in the year 1755, nine years before. On the list of clergy
for the years 1773, 1774, and 1776, we find the Rev. Thomas
Johnson assigned to this parish. We cannot ascertain that any
other ever was the regular pastor of this parish; but from the
family Bible of old Colonel Carrington, of Charlotte, we ascertain
that the following ministers officiated in baptizing between the
years 1755 and 1762:—The Revs. William Key, John Berkeley,
James Garden, William Craig, and Alexander Hay. Some of them
were certainly ministers of surrounding parishes; some of them may
have been ministers of this.
