Stephen Ham, Private, Revolutionary War, from Orange County, VA. Roll of Captain Frances Taylor's Company of the 2nd Virginia Battalion from the 28th of January 1777 to 28th February 1777. (Volume V1, Virginia History Magazine, page 177). (Betty Silfies and I aren't sure as this could either be our Stephen or the Stephen in Amherst Co.)
Up to 1734-5, St. Mark's Parish was in Spotsylvania. At that date Spotsylvania was divided by the line between St. George's and St. Mark's Parishes. Spotsylvania was limited to St. George's Parish. All above that line, bounded southerly by old Hanover county, and to the north by the Lord Fairfax grant (the Rappahannock river), and westerly by the utmost limits of Virginia, was made the county of Orange.
The Register of St. Mark's Parish is the oldest manuscript record in the county of Culpeper. The parish is older than the county by eighteen years, the parish having been established by Act of Assembly in 1730, and the county in 1748. It is curious to note the progress of population, and parishes and counties, from their original seats on tidewater towards the mountains. The people went before, the parishes followed after, and the counties completed the organization, according to the uniform policy of the British Government to keep the Church and State in union. Stephen married Rhoda according to the St. Mark church records.
