Notes for Jane A. Barron: ST.JOHN'S CHURCH (open daily), NW. corner Court and Queen Sts., is a church of Elizabeth City Parish, which was first called Kecoughtan and established in 1610. Compact and cruciform, its sturdy walls belong to the original structure built in 1728. This replaced the second church erected in 1667 on Pembroke Farm. St. John's was ill-attended in the reaction following the Revolution, and was ransacked during the War of 1812. The vigorous challenge in 1825 of Mrs. Jane Barron Hope, daughter of Commodore James Barron-'If I were a man I would have those walls built up'-brought about restoration of the church in 1827-28, when it was named St. John's. Though partly burned in 1861, the 'old walls honestly built' by Colonial workmen stood firm. The church was restored again in 1869. ================================================================= Note; Not sure if husband was William or Wilton Hope?
