“During the colonial period, not only was the Established
Church, or Church of England, supreme in the religious life
of Virginia but its parishes were also local governmental
institutions which affected very closely the people in their
secular affairs. Parish records are therefore, in a true
sense, official, important and revealing. Extant vestry
books and registers supplement the archives of local govern-
ments when they do not indeed supply the only existing
records. For these reasons the Library Board has pub-
lished from time to time certain original parish books, this
being the fourth. It is hoped that this work may be con-
tinued for, although most of these original records have
been lost or destroyed, there are still a number of them in
existence, comparatively few of which have been published.
“During almost the entire period covered by this vestry
book (1721-1786) Blisland Parish was partly in the present
New Kent County and partly in the present James City
County, the records of both of which, prior to 1865, have
been destroyed. This volume and two of those previously
published by the Library Board ("The Vestry Book of
Stratton Major Parish, King and Queen County, Virginia,
1729-1783" (1931) and "The Vestry Book of Petsworth
Parish, Gloucester County, Virginia, 1677-1793" (1933) )
supply a record for a contiguous area of early Virginia
whose local archives have been lost. This vestry book,
therefore, enables us further to rescue from oblivion much
of the life, customs and names of those who helped to
create Virginia.”
