1. The History of Cople Parish. “In colonial days, it was the established church, serving the whole community in both spiritual and temporal matters. Among its vestry and leading parishioners were Richard Henry Lee (who drafted the resolution for Independence and was one of the signers of the Declaration); Bushrod Washington (Justice of the US Supreme Court, nephew of George Washington), President Washington’s chief heir; George Eskridge (holder of numerous colonial offices and guardian of George Washington’s mother, Mary Ball who grew up in the parish); and Robert ‘Counsillor’ Carter. Fithian’s Diary, written by a Carter family tutor, describes our Colonial heyday. ” (Submitted on September 12, 2009.)
