FOREWORD
Our thanks to Bruton's Women of the Church for this insight into our beginnings and continuing life as a local parish and shrine of international significance. How fine it is to have readily available such an efficient tool for inter- preting accurately not only the visible details of church and yard, but a work which captures the sense of our spirit past and present. Pathfinders, patriots, and common people found here, and still do, a reasonable and holy hope. We rejoice to share it.

A NOTE TO THE SECOND PRINTING
In 1980 Bruton Parish Church was designated a national historic landmark and a mural tablet commemorating this event was placed on the west wall of the bell tower. The inscription on the tablet is reproduced on page 88.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I he idea to make a guide to the churchyard available to our many visitors each year, as well as to Bruton Parish's own parishioners, was conceived by the Women of the Church as a special project in this bicentennial year. This book will preserve the records on the tombstones and monuments, as well as the mural tablets, and income from its sale will be used to restore badly worn stones both in the churchyard and within the church.
We are grateful to Mrs. J. Randolph Ruffin, chairman, and Mrs. Allen W. Callis, Mrs. Mary J. Daniel, Mrs. R. D. Frederick, Mrs. Virginia D. Gardner, Dr. Janet C. Kim- brough, Mrs. William F. Low, Miss Marian Osborne, Mrs. Robert W. Spurgeon, Mrs. J. Bentley Squier, and Mrs. Arthur H. Vollertsen, not only for their idea, but for the required effort necessary to make it a reality.
A special word of thanks should go to Mrs. Frederick, whose charming pen and ink drawings illustrate the text. She also painted the view of the churchyard used on the cover.
The Reverend David J. Tétrault, Parish Associate, wrote the introduction; inscriptions were edited by Joseph N. Rountree, who also contributed the footnotes; and the index was prepared by Colonel and Mrs. Arthur H. Vollert- sen. Dr. A. P. Wagener's earlier translations of the Latin inscriptions for Nos. 123 and 162 were used, and Mrs. Carol Esler translated others.
Invaluable advice and assistance was provided by many others, including Miss Anne Lewis Geddy, Mrs. Ruther- foord Goodwin, Miss Catherine Savedge, Miss Christina F. Neiman, Miss Patricia Gibbs, Dr. Edward M. Riley, Thad W. Tate, J. Randolph Ruffin, and Marshall Wright.
Finally, we wish to acknowledge our dedicated forebears who worshiped here and laid the foundation for the freedoms all Americans enjoy today. This publication is a tribute to them.
JOHN C. AUSTIN Chairman, Bicentennial Committee of the Vestry Bruton Parish Church

INTRODUCTION
"And we also bless thy holy Name for all thy servants departed this life in thy faith and fear; beseeching thee to grant them continual growth in thy love and service."
The Book of Common Prayer
Bruton Parish Church and its churchyard reflect the social and religious history of the city of Williamsburg from the seventeenth century to the present. The church building, which has been in active use since its completion in 1715, stands in the sacred precincts set aside nearly a century earlier for the Anglican community to bury their dead. An occasional burial of ashes still occurs in the churchyard.
A walled-in churchyard surrounding a church is an unusual sight to modern visitors accustomed to cemeteries some distance from the center of town, a custom begun in the nineteenth century. But to the Britisher of the seven- teenth and eighteenth centuries, transplanted to colonial Virginia, a churchyard adjacent to the house of worship was part of a familiar tradition dating back to the Middle Ages.
Northwest of the present church, near the center of the yard, granite posts mark the foundations of a 1683 small buttressed brick church in Jacobean style which proved too small for the influx of people after the seat of government was moved from Jamestown to Williamsburg in 1699. This church was the first to be called Bruton, a name taken from the town overlooking the River Brue in Somerset, England, the ancestral home of the Ludwells and Berkeleys, two families that were prominent in the early years of the parish.
Visitors to Bruton's churchyard are always impressed by the diversity of styles, shapes, and sizes of the grave markers, which date from the seventeenth century to the present. The Parish Register records 260 burials prior to 1700, but records are so scarce from the seventeenth century that it is impossible to estimate how many are
xiii
buried in the yard. The oldest dated tombstone is that of Thomas Ludwell (No. 78), who died in 1678. There is evidence that even this marker was placed in the church- yard at a later date. Most visitors leave the churchyard with a sense of peace after seeing these markers from the past and present among the lovely blooming shrubs and ancient trees.
The social implications of the old churchyard are signifi- cant. Merchants, plantation owners, small farmers, skilled craftsmen, and distinguished professional men and women are honored with markers. And there are elegant memo- rials to British governors and Virginia public officials next to government-issued burial markers for Confederate soldiers. There are also grim reminders of our two world wars. In colonial times, memorials and/or burials inside the church building were often reserved for wealthy and influential families. Nineteen gravestones can be seen within the church; forty-three burials have been identified.
The visitor to Bruton Parish who is interested in social, political, religious, or genealogical history, either at the local or the national level, will find Bruton's church building and churchyard treasures to be studied and enjoyed as living records. They are witnesses to the con- tinuity of Christian worship that has been present in Williamsburg since its beginning.
A NOTE TO THE READER
The following inscriptions are not reproduced exactly as they appear on the stones because archaic practices such as the use of the long "s", "I" interchanged for "J", etc., were not followed. Abbreviations, spelling, and punctuation, with these exceptions, are recorded as inscribed.
Material included within brackets is no longer visible but could still be read in 1929 when Bishop John B. Bentley prepared his report "A Copy of the Inscriptions Found on the Stones in the Church Yard and Church and An Index of Names." Space left blank within brackets indicates material that was not visible in 1929.

The character of this lady presented the rare union of those beautiful graces which adorn a christian life And win the love of all who come within their influence. With those sterner virtues which command Esteem, and admiration and respect. She was an humble Christian, A devoted wife, a tender and faithful friend A kind and compassionate neighbour A loving and self sacrificing mother, She was calm in misfortune, Energetic and rigid in the performance of duty Just in all relations.

Honourable and upright. Her life was one of unremitting labour; For forty years She was matron of the Lunatic asylum in this place; In which responsible position she died; In this retired but arduous field she unpretendingly displayed The many high qualities which constituted her character And which would have graced any sphere The board of directors of the Asylum, Acting in their public capacity have erected This monument to her memory In token of their admiration of Her patient and tender care of the unfortunate Of her firm integrity, strict fidelity and unfaltering constancy And as an expression however weak of their sense Of her inestimable services.
