::"There may have been a church at Kingston Parish as early as 1652. Vestry book records show a chapel on the North River in 1679. In colonial times the parish church would be established before a chapel, and the old name for the church on this location was 'Kingston.' It was noted in the old vestry book that a meeting was held the 29th September, 1715, at 'the Easternmost River Church.' The oldest identified tombstone is that of twenty-six year old Elizabeth Tompkins who died in 1842. Her stone today is in the chancel just beyond the altar rail. Elizabeth herself, is not under the stone, but lies in the churchyard with her sister, Sally Tompkins. The locations of earlier, colonial and slave graves are not known."<ref name="ernst" /> | ::"There may have been a church at Kingston Parish as early as 1652.
