Note.—The hiatus between Geo. Robinson, 1695, and James Keith,
1733, is undoubtedly partially filled by the incumbency of Rev. Jacob
Ware, who, as is shown by the Henrico Court Records in 1716, was
minister of Henrico Parish for twenty years. Phippe De Richebourg,
a French Huguenot, is also mentioned in the same records as minister
of Henrico Parish in 1701. Wm. Finney is also mentioned as
minister of Henrico Parish in 1727, and doubtless filled up the gap
until the rectorship of Rev. James Keith. In my opinion, Rev.
Jacob Ware was the minister alluded to by Bishop Burton, who
made his report to the Bishop of London, whose name "has been torn
from the MSS. of his report."—J. S. M.
