Extracts from the Register of St. Paul's Parish, Stafford
(now King George) County, Virginia.
[The old register of St. Paul's parish is now in the possession
of Mrs. Stuart of " Cedar Grove," King George county, an inheritance from her two ancestors Reverends David and William
Stuart, who were ministers of the parish. Thanks are due to
her for permission to copy.
By an act passed October, 1776, the boundariesof King George
and Stafford were altered and a line run from Muddy Creek on
the Rappahannock to the mouth of Potomac Creek was made
the division. Prior to this act the portion of the present counties lying on the Potomac formed Stafford county, and that on
the Rappahannock formed King George.
In the extracts here given B = born; M - married; D =died.]
