[2] The original parish church was at White Marsh near Hambleton, which was built around 1666 but destroyed by a brush fire during a cleanup in 1897.

Thomas Bacon, who served as rector from 1746 to 1758, when he moved to All Saints' Parish (Frederick, Maryland), worked diligently to improve religious instruction of slaves and support charity schools.

[6] Robert Morris, an English tobacco merchant who lived at Oxford (from 1747 to 1750) bequeathed fifty pounds to be used to benefit the poor of this parish.

[8] After the American Civil War, the Episcopal Diocese of Easton was created, to better serve Episcopalians living on Maryland's Eastern Shore.

The first bishop, Henry C. Lay, bought a house in Easton, and used it as his base, although he also worked to create a cathedral complex for the new diocese and traveled fairly extensively to deliver speeches despite personal health issues.
