Located in
Charlotte Hall, Maryland. Many thanks to Peg Richardson for the
photograph. Gamers may have Laura Croft "Tomb Raider" but we
amateur genealogists have something better, Peg Richardson "Headstone
Hunter." Leonard & Mary Howard Johnson were parishioners at All Faith's
Parish. The following quote is taken from the Episcopal Churches in St.
Mary's County website:
"All Faith, Charlotte Hall. The first log
church at Huntersville was built prior to 1675 before the All Faith
Parish was established in 1692. The building was rebuilt in 1693 and
replaced by the present colonial brick structure in 1767. It was
renovated in the 1800's and stained glass windows, pews and chancel
furniture were added. In 1954, following Hurricane Hazel there was more
renovation and a stained glass window added above the altar. The
church features a barrel-shaped ceiling, slave gallery, and old
hand-wrought hardware. Early Rectors of All Faith were Robert Scott,
1709-1733; Hugh Jones, 1724-1733; John Urquahart, 1733-1744; and John
Stephen, 1767-1786.
