Episcopal (Church of England). Until 1785 all Virginians were required to support and attend the Church of England.
- Hamilton Parish was established in 1730 from Overwharton Parish (Stafford County) and Hanover Parish (King George County). It covered the whole area that became Prince William County in 1731. Truro Parish, north of Occoquan River, was cut off in 1732 (the area that became Fairfax County in 1742). Dettingen Parish, the eastern region, was cut off in 1745. After 1759, when Fauquier County was created, only a small portion of Hamilton Parish remained in western Prince William. In 1769, the northern part of Hamilton Parish was cut off to make Leeds Parish. Of these parishes, only Overwharton has a colonial register of births, marriages and deaths (1723-1758). The few entries with dates back to 1723 (births only) appear to have been recorded after 1738, when Prince Williams territory was no longer part of the parish.
