Can anyone tell me what faith the Hebron Church is? I have children of my originial German immigrants (Culpeper Co., VA) that were "communicants" at the Hebron Church. I'd like to know what this means and what faith in layman's terms! Thanks! Lisa Murphey Ward
In answer to Lisa' question (below), I just checked the Germanna website: http://www.germanna.com/HCL.htm to find the following information: The German Lutheran Church outside Madison, Virginia, (now known as Hebron) maintained communion lists from 1775 to 1822. It has been observed that the lists of names are in the order of seating and that relatives often sat together. As a consequence, the lists have proven to be valuable for genealogical research besides being interesting but I have an additional question. I have a 2-gr-grandfather named Edward Pinkard Hawkins (his middle name was his mother's maiden name). In E.P.'s obit it says that he preached at the following churches: Forest Hill, Hebron, Elys Ford. ... I know where Forest Hill is located. It is near Melton's Virginia or the town of Louisa in the county of Louisa. Is anyone familiar with the other two churches? I feel sure that this is a different Hebron Church as he was an old line Baptist preacher. Marsha in WV Lisa/John Ward wrote: > > Can anyone tell me what faith the Hebron Church is?
