Our allusion to the destruction OF
the Abingdon parish register WAS al
most unintellisible In last Sundays
paper, so we will have TO make our
statement once more.
BY the accident of a valuable parish
register being kept in a private house
with no fire protection. ono of tho
most valuable originals in tho State OF
Virginia was destroyed. Butnby the
foresight of the Virginia Colonial
Danes old Abingdon parish register,
beginning in the seventeenth century,
was saved.

Virginia copied the Abingdon register,
but seven others. and they are all
protected at the Virginia Historical
society. Not only was the Abingdon
parish register destroyed. but the yes
try book. which is an absolute loss
