Nancy;
I wish I could find a link there, but I think it's too early for my Caton
family.They did not come to VA until early 1800s.There is a Thomas in my
line, but I think he lived in MD.
Interesting!!!!!!
ceya

Don't know who this could be as the Catons of the time that I
know are
in Frederick Co, MD. For further info, search the list itself or write
to the original author. If you know who this Caton was, please enlighten
the rest of us.

Old Frederick County Parish Record
Two pages from a Frederick County Parish record show signatures of
parishoners who participated in the communion (Eucharist) during
1761-1763. The register was found in an original book among
miscellaneous Frederick County records in the Library of Virginia
(Archives). At the top of the register is this statement: "I do declare
that I do believe there is not any transubstantiation in the Sacrament
of the Lord's Supper, and in the Elements of Bread and Wine, at or after
the Consecration thereof by any Person Whatsoever." This was one way of
saying that the communion table was for Protestants only. Not all
participants were members of the established church (Anglican or Church
of England).
Some persons who signed the parish register were: Nicholas
M____(German), John Hite, Jacob Morgan, Thomas Caton, ____ Mandley,
James Craik, James Ireson, John Neaville, John McKensie, John
Christopher (Heintz ?), James Keith, Thomas Speake, Lewis Moore,
Cornelius Vansdell, Peter Hog (on June 1, 1762), Joseph Longacre (a
German signature), Joseph Glass, John Lindsey, Thomas Bryan Martin,
John Sheen, Richard Paris (Pearis), John Watson, John Taylor, Edward
Robinson, David Shepherd, Jeremiah Odell, John Shealy (HisXMark--the
only person who could not sign his own name), Charles Smith, Gabriel
Jones, Thomas Rutherford, Thomas Whitson, William Overall, Thomas
Wadlington, Archibald Wager, Humphrey Wells, Isaac Russell, Thomas Lowe,
John Kennedy, Joseph A__(not legible), Elijah Isaacs(?), John Linsey,
Daniel Bush, John Edwards, Edward Rogers Jr., Morgan Morgan, Walter
Moffett, John Waton (German), Van Swearington, John Wager, Wastley Whit,
John Dark, Alex Lemen, John Jenkins, Martin ____(German), Richard
Jackman, Adam Stephen, Burr Harrison, Angus McDonald, Thomas Helm, and
Henry Netherton. With several exceptions, this list represents persons
in the power structure of Frederick County in 1761-1763. It is obvious
that no women signed the register.
