Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bruton Church Next after the College, the glory of Williamsburg is Bruton Church. When, in 1632, Middle Plantation (subsequently Williamsburg) was laid out and paled in, a parish of the same name was shortly created. Of the early history of this parish very little is known. When counties were established two years later, the line of division between Charles River county, subsequently York, and James City county appears to have passed through the centre of Middle Plantation. Charles River county, the parent potential of many new counties, stretched out indefinitely to the north and to the west. At Middle Plantation there was no danger from disease, for the surgeon of the Colony, Dr. John Pott, had given convincing evidence of its healthfulness by the purchase of a plantation called Harop, just on its borders, and his judgment was to be confirmed in future years by the unanimous voice of the Legislature. In this favored spot there were no mosquitoes; the air was "serene and temperate," and crystal springs burst from the "dry and champaign" soil. But the Indians inhabiting near were a real menace.
