Five miles north is the home of the rectors of Cople Parish, one of whom, Walter Jones, married Washington's parents, March 6, 1731. Here lived Thomas Smith, rector of the parish, 1764-1799, and chairman of the county Committee of Safety, 1775. He entertained Washington, May 25, 1771. The house is possibly the oldest in the Northern Neck.
