Trinity Episcopal Cemetary - American Revolutionary War Veteran Graves on Waymarking.com

Trinity Episcopal Church was originally known as Augusta Parish Church, it was founded in 1746 as the County Parish. The Virginia General Assembly met here in June 1781 to avoid capture by British raiders. The present building was erected in 1855 and was used by the Virginia Theological Seminary during the War Between the States. The first Bishop of Virginia, James Madison, was a member of this church.

The cemetery has the graves of seven Revolutionary War soldiers: James Clark, Peter Heiskell, Henry Mowry, Jacob Peck Sr, Archibald Stuart, Ed Valentine, and John Young.
