Here's some info on St. Peter's Parish explaining the years the birth records were recorded. and that there were two Churches in this Parish. Judy The Vestry Book of St. Peter’s Parish There were two churches in St. Peter’s Parish in 1685, the Upper Church and the Lower Church. The Upper Church was located on the Pamunkey River in what is now Hanover County about three miles east of the present village of Old Church. Volume No. 1 served two purposes: What may be called the front part (pages 1 to 247) contains the minutes of the vestry meetings between1684 (possibly 1683) and 1758; the back part (pages 1 to 143) contains a record, apparently very incomplete, of births, marriages, baptisms, and deaths in the parish between 1685 and 1730 or 1731, when a new book (MS Volume 2) wasbegun.
