About Henry County
Henry County, created in 1776, was named in honor of the great orator of the Revolution, Patrick
Henry, who did so much to overthrow the royal establishment in Virginia. Before the creation of
Henry County, counties were generally named in honor of some one connected with the royal family of
England or the royal government of the colonies. Formed from Pittsylvania County, the area of the
county is 385 square miles and the county seat is Martinsville.
====================================
Parishes of the Established Church 1607 - 1785
When the first English settlers came to Virginia in 1607, they followed the familiar patterns of the
Church of England and established parishes that served as local units of ecclesiastical and
community organization. The General Assembly established parishes and fixed their boundaries, often
at the same time that it created or altered county lines. On January 16, 1786, the General Assembly
passed Thomas Jefferson's Bill for Establishing Religious Freedom, ending state-enforced support for
the formerly established church and its parishes.
