An inscription, placed in 1959, in the church graveyard in memory of Revd
Mossom (it is located next to the grave of Francis Chamberlayne): It was
copied directly from the monument by Larry Herrin 2 November 1990 and the
church is located in the country near Talleyville, New Kent County, Virginia.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following is a translation
of the Latin inscription on the tombstone
of the Reverend David Mossom.
This tombstone, now partially destroyed,
is located in the northeast corner
of the inside wall of this church.
The inscription indicates that
the Reverend David Mossom
is buried beneath the Church chancel.
"The Reverend David Mossom lies nearby.
He was an alumnus of the college of St. John, Cambridge.
He was the rector of this parish for forty years.
Of all the Presbyters of the Anglican Church
he was the foremost among the American Presbyters.
He was second to few in letters,
who was overtaken by sadness and the decay of old age
and the trials and tribulations which beset this life,
he died and was buried near his wives Elizabeth and Mary,
having while mindful of death in his days of health and vigor,
elected and set this place of burial
where may he find rest until resurrected to eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Those survivors to whom he was well known
testify to what he was, not this sepulchre stone.
Born at London 25 March 1690
Died 4 January 1767."
The Reverend David Mossom baptized
Martha Washington (nee Dandridge).
He officiated at her marriage to
Daniel Parke Custis in June, 1749;
later, he officiated at her marriage
to George Washington, January 6, 1759.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
!NOTE:
Rev. Devereux Jarratt was quoted as saying that Old Man Mossom was boring, that
he so seldom took his eyes off his notes, you would think he was preaching to
the cushions instead of the people.
"His niche in the History of our Country has been awarded him because he was
the Minister who officiated at the wedding of George Washington and Martha
Dandridge Custis on January 6, 1759, in St. Peter's Parish, New Kent County"
(Harris (1977).
Mossom was married four times: Harris (1977).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The petn to Hon. Lieut. Gov. Dummer of Mass. Bay, David Mossom Clerk,
Minister of the Church of England in Marblehead in behalf of Philip English
humbly showeth,
That the said Philip English having as frequently as he could from the
first erecting the church at Marblehead resorted to the Public Worship of God
at the said Church of which sufficient prof has been made to me by the
testimony of many Persons before I had the Charge of said Church and from my
becoming Minister thereof for more than six years past, upon my own knowledge
do declare that he the said Philip English has (during the sumer season
especially) frequently come to church . . . . and the Reasons of his not coming
so constantly as his Inclinations led him was the utter impossibility of
getting over the ferry on the Lord's day, notwithstanding which he the said
Philip English was three weeks since committed Prisoner to his Majtys Goal in
Salem, and is to this day there closely confined for non payment of an
assessment made for the support of the minister thereof, and of myself I would
further observe to your honour that the Collectors having not exacted this Rate
of him for five years past, no probable Reason can be assigned for their
surceasing it but the assumption that he did belong to the Church at
Marblehead, &c. &c.
