[edit] HistoryOn December 19, 1704, St. Paul’s Parish, one of the 30 original parishes of the established Anglican Church in the Province of Maryland,[5] was divided by the Maryland General Assembly and the northern part became Queen Anne Parish, while the southern part remained St. Paul's. An Act for the Division of St. Paul's Parish in Prince George's County Lib. LL. N° 3. fol. 213. The original St. Paul's Parish had contained a small log chapel, in its northeast sections, on 2 acres (8,100 m2) of land owned by John and Mary Duvall. With this act, the chapel became a full-fledged congregation to meet the needs of the growing population in the area, creating the first St. Barnabas church. |
