The first minister of James City parish of whom we read, after Mr. Bucke, was the Rev. Thomas Hampton , in 1644, of whom we know nothing but the name, as no vestry-book or other document remains to tell who, if any, intervened between him and Mr. Bucke. Nor have we, for a long time after, any name of a minister of that parish; but an event occurred in the year 1675 or '76, by which the church and city, and probably all the church-records, were destroyed, which deserves to be mentioned.*
I might add to these some monuments which lie all exposed in the neighbourhood of Williamsburg. Nathaniel Bacon, uncle or near kinsman of him who is called the rebel, and who was high in office during the period of the rebellion, as he was before and after, married Elizabeth, the daughter and heiress of Richard Kingswell, of James City county. His residence was on King's Creek, near York River, and not far from Williamsburg. There are tombstones now near the bank of the river. The following inscriptions have been furnished me:--"Here lyeth the body of Elizabeth, wife of the Honourable Nathaniel Bacon, who departed this life the second day of November, one thousand six hundred and ninety-one, in the sixty-seventh year of her age." Also, on a mutilated tombstone, may be deciphered these words:--"The Rev. Thomas Hampton , rector of this parish in 1647." It is probable that he ministered in one of those churches which were closed when the first church at Williamsburg was built. Another residence of Nathaniel Bacon must have been near Williamsburg; for his tombstone now lies in a field on Dr. Tinsley's farm, while the tombstones of the Palmer family are in the garden of that place. The tombstone of Daniel Parke, whose name stands first on the old vestry-book of Bruton parish as vestryman and churchwarden, lies on the farm called Beal's, near Williamsburg.
