The Very Book of Kingston Parish is a vital historical record that captures the administrative, religious, and social life of colonial Virginia. Edited by the distinguished historian C.G. Chamberlayne, this work presents the detailed minutes and records of Kingston Parish, which was situated in Gloucester County (now Mathews County) during the 17th and 18th centuries. The text serves as a primary source for understanding the governance of the Anglican Church and its central role in the civil administration of early American communities.

Spanning over a century of development, the records provide a meticulous account of vestry meetings, the distribution of tithes, and the management of local affairs. For genealogists, the volume is particularly valuable, as it preserves the names of vestrymen, parishioners, and local residents who lived and worked in the Tidewater region. It offers a rare window into the daily operations of a colonial parish, from the maintenance of church property to the care of the indigent. The Very Book of Kingston Parish is an essential resource for historians and researchers seeking to explore the foundational years of the Commonwealth of Virginia and the social structures of the American South.
