Vestry records are essential sources for the history of St. John's Church. The volumes from Henrico Parish reach back to 1730 and run through the present. Organized by monthly or yearly meetings, these records trace developments in church leadership, property, programs, members, and events to reveal the life of the congregation and the city. Recently the Library of Virginia scanned and digitized a portion of these early vestry records dating from 1730 up through 1900.
