Abstract

The records of Coventry Parish document the early Episcopal church's activities, located near Marion Station on the Pocomoke River in Somerset County, Maryland. Records are comprised of birth, death and marriage records as well as Vestry meeting minutes, 1747-1847 with the bulk of the records dating from 1772-1820. Records have been digitized; original parish records are maintained by St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Marion Station, Md.

Administrative History

Coventry Parish was a historic Episcopal church located at Rehobeth, Somerset County, Maryland. It consists of a two-story seven-by-three-bay Flemish bond brick church that was erected between 1785 and 1788. Today, the original structure has been reduced to three primary walls, since the south wall rises only a foot above ground level, except for one single-story pier. At the time of its construction, it was the largest Episcopal church on Maryland's Eastern Shore. Coventry Parish was one of the original 30 Anglican parishes in the Province of Maryland.
