This resolution commends Saint Martin's Parish for its 300 years of service and community involvement in Hanover County, Virginia. The resolution highlights the parish's origins in 1726, its historical significance as a center for worship and community functions, and the enduring legacy of its Fork Church, a colonial-era structure that has been in continuous use and is recognized on national historic registers. It also acknowledges the parish's role in preserving local history and heritage, including its cemetery which contains the graves of notable figures like Thomas Nelson, Jr., a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and American soldiers. The General Assembly expresses its admiration for Saint Martin's Parish and directs that a copy of the resolution be presented to Fork Church.
