morals gave luster to his gentle birth.
Rector of William and Mary College, he sustained that institution and its
most trying times. And he was Speaker of the House of Burgesses and Treasurer

the House of Burgesses its Speaker six years and Governor of the Colony for more

sacred edifice, a signal monument of his piety towards God. He furnished it

1732, in the 69th year of his age.

the orphans their lost fathe
