SynopsisExcerpt from The Story of Mary Washington Episcopal Church on the Neck. His name had headed the list Of parish vestrymen in 1654, preceding that Of the clergyman, an arbitrary order followed in the cases Of his namesake-son John, and Robert, surnamed King Carter, the greatest Of the line. The temper and customs Of the day and country were semi-feudal leaders were few in number and despotic in Spirit. If plant ers and small farmers dwelt together in unity it was because the autocrat's position was not questioned. SO near to Christ Church which the first Carter had builded, that the two were early in the eighteenth century united into one parish, was St. Mary's White Chapel; the place Of worship for those belonging to this parish was a chapel-oi-ease Of the mother Church. Prominent among her vestrymen for almost one hundred years was the name of Ball. It occurs so frequently upon the crumbling tombstones paving the Old churchyard as to persuade one into the idea that this was, at the first, a family burying ground, and the Chapel an afterthought.

In the year 1700, Lancaster County lent character to the "Northern Neck," famed for broad plantations and for the wealth and refinement of the inhabitants. The largest landholder in this region was Robert Carter, of Corotoman, a territorial grant washed upon the east by the Chesapeake, and upon the south by the Rappahannock. The latter is a lordly stream at this point, and navigable for over a hundred miles from the mouth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
