      "The Colonial Houses of Worship in America" by Harold Wickliffe Rose [1963]

      "St. Barnabas Church (1774)
      Leeland, Prince George's County, Maryland

      By Act of Assembly in 1705, Queen Anne's Parish was formed out of St. Paul's Parish, Patuxent River (ss St. Paul's, Baden, No. 49). A brick church was begun in 1708 to replace a wooden chapel. This brick church was torn down in 1772, and in 1774 the present brick building was begun. That was in the first year of the ministry of the Reverend Jonathan Boucher, who was a close personal friend of George Washington. He was an outspoken Tory, who preached fiery sermons with a brace of pistols on the pulpit cushion ...[ following is a quote from him]. Finally he was restrained from mounting the pulpit, and he and his American wife sailed for England on the last ship out of Annapolis before the Revolution began. The building is of the early Georgian style ans is plain, and there is no ornamentation. The brick is laid in Flemish bond. The contract named Christopher Lowndes as builder."
