Dear Hank,
Please don’t take this as a criticism, but we’ve discussed the church amny times prior; as for “Marriage Notes: St. John’s Episcopal Church is located near Richmond, Virginia. During this early time period the church was some distance from the city, but as Richmond grew the new developments surrounded the church until the church became part of the city of Richmond. It was in St. John’s that Patrick Henry in 1775 gave his famous “give me liberty or give me death speech.” We now know that this part is wrong.
St. John’s Episcopal Church (Richmond, Virginia) from whence his speech was given was formed from several earlier churches, St. John’s is the oldest church in Richmond, built by Col. Richard Randolph in 1741. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_John%27s_Church,_Richmond,_Virginia
