> This 183 page book, including index, written in 1907 contains
> information about Truro Parish which was part of the Northern Neck
> Grants. "Within this territory were the seats of the Fairfaxes,
> Washingtons, Masons, McCartys, Fitzhughs, Brents, Alexanders,
> Lewises, Mercers, Daniels, Carters, Dades, Stuarts, Corbins, Tayloes,
> Steptoes, Newtons, Browns, Lees, Thorntons, Balls, Smiths, and other
> leading families too many to mention, who dispensed an elegant
> hospitality at Northumberland House, Nomini, Stratford, Chantilly,
> Mount Airy, Sabine Hall, Bedford, Albion, Cedar Grove, Boscobel,
> Richland, Marleborough, Woodstock, Gunston, Belvoir, Woodlawn, Mount
> Vernon, etc. Beginning at Lancaster, county was taken from county,
> Parish from Parish, as the population of each passed the frontiers,
> until in 1730 Prince William was taken from Stafford and King George
> Counties, above Chappawansick Creek and Deep Run, and along the
> Potomac, to the "Great Mountains." This became also Hamilton Parish;
> which Parish, by an Act of the General Assembly passed at the Session
> of May, 1732, to take effect the first of the following November, was
> divided into two Parishes "By the river Ockoquan, and the Bull Run,
> (a branch thereof,) and a course from thence to the Indian
> Thoroughfare of the Blue Ridge of Mountains," (Ashby's Gap.) All that
> part of Prince William lying below the said bounds was to retain the
> name of Hamilton, "And all that other part of the said county, which
> lies above those bounds, shall hereafter be called and known by the
> name of Truro." The Parish was named after the Parish in Cornwall, in
> England, which is now the Diocese of Truro."
