=== Page 60 === {{Quote| The Church of England being the established church of the colony, as new counties were formed new parishes were laid out co-extensive with the counties, and the parish of Antrim was established in Halifax, probably taking its name from Antrim, Ireland, former home of Irish settlers. Certain official duties were entrusted to the vestrymen, such as the care of the poor and the marking of boundary lines. The following gentlemen<sup>16</sup> took the oath of vestrymen and entered upon their official duties: James Terry, Richard Echols, Thomas Dillard, Thomas Calloway, Richard Brown, William Irby, Merry Webb, William Wynne, John Owen, Peter Wilson, John Gullington, Paul Carrington, Samuel Harris and George Curry }} Note that a few surnames are familiar (Wilson, Wynne).
