Lord Baltimore 1658 conferred seignorial honours on him bythe grant of Worton Manor. He returned to Great Britain where hedied, believing that he left isue in Virginia. "When the English settlers arrived at Jamestown in 1607, the Tidewaterarea of Virginia had been inhabited for thousands of years by NativeAmericans. There were many tribes with very specialized religions,life styles, customs and political structures. The tribes were notnomadic but were very settled with large areas of land cleared foragriculture. The Powhatan tribes were located along the waterways andhad observed European ships entering the Chesapeake Bay to captureIndians for the slave trade since the mid-1500s. They had witnessedand experienced the deadly effects of cannons, muskets and hangings. Th e Indians provided the early settlers with food and taught them howto plant corn, to hunt and fish. The need for land and food suppliesincreased as more ships and many people continued to arrive and thesettlement expanded rapidly. The foreign invaders forced the Indiansoff their ancestral homeland, confiscated their cleared fields,destroyed their longhouses and canoes, stole their corn and desecratedtheir temples." Oliver "Fish Hawk" Perry Nansemond Chief Emeritus September 16, 1989 FOR SOME 330 YEARS, worship services have been held on a modest hillin North Stafford County. Official parish and county records have beenlost to fires and war and the earliest history of this special placeis long forgotten. This year, Overwharton Parish is celebrating the250th anniversary of the unique building standing sentinel upon thathill--Aquia Episcopal Church. Though it was conceived in the fires of controversy and politicalinfluence, Aquia has been lovingly protected by generations ofStaffordians and remains unequaled in Colonial architectural design. In 1664, Stafford was divided from Westmoreland County and includedall that land above upper Machotic Creek (now King George County). Thenew county of Stafford was divided into two parishes, initiallyreferred to simply as the "upper" and "lower" parishes. Theseeventually assumed the names of Overwharton and Chotank. The unusual name "Overwharton" is thought to have originated with anearly settler, Col. Henry Meese, who named his plantation after hisnative parish, Over Worton, in North Oxfordshire, England. Thisplantation, presently in King George County, is now known as WaughPoint. The first major church within the present bounds of Stafford wasPotomac Church, located a few miles southeast of the present StaffordCourthouse. Constructed in the 1660s, Potomac was one of the largestchurches in Colonial Virginia, measuring 60 by 80 feet. Arched windowsallowed light into the building and, like later Aquia Church, thetexts of the Law, Lord's Prayer, and Creed were painted above thealtar (despite the fact that most people were unable to read). Potomac Church was in regular use from the time of its erection untilit was abandoned around 1804. During the War of 1812, maraudingBritish soldiers caused considerable damage to this venerable oldbuilding, but it remained standing until being completely dismantledby Federal troops who used the brick and stone to construct a railroadbridge across nearby Potomac Creek. In 1667, it was ordered that three churches be built in the new countyof Stafford, one "at the southwest side of Aquia." This was the firstof three known churches to be built on the present site of AquiaChurch. Around 1700, this early structure burned and was replaced witha small wooden chapel. The Colonial parish was a civil as well as an ecclesiasticaljurisdiction that impacted the lives of every county resident. Theparish vestry assumed certain governmental duties, such as thepresentation of moral misdemeanors; the administration of relief tothe indigent, aged and incapacitated; the education and apprenticingof orphans; as well as the maintenance of the churches and grounds;the hiring of rectors; and the management of the church-owned glebes.
