  Prefix	Rev
  Born	13 Oct 1611	St. Andrew Holburn, London, England

  Notes	He and his family arrived in Smithfield VA, in 1650, to be the minister at the "Old Brick Church" (the first Brick building in America, and still standing). In the turbulent days before the American Revolution, it is almost certain that Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Richard Henry Lee and Patrick Henry all knelt at the alters of Saint Luke's. This historical and hallowed place played its own part in the slow shaping of the momentous destiny of our nation. St. Luke's Church (also called "Old Brick") is the nation's only original Gothic church and the oldest existing church of English foundation in America. Its brick walls have stood for more than three centuries, located 2 miles from present-day Smithfield, Virginia on route 10. Historic St. Luke's Church 14477 Benn's Church Blvd. Smithfield, VA 23430
