I know nothing of the cannon - but, title deeds in VA are pretty clear. X owned, sold it to Y, who sold it to Z, etc.

Like I said, it is a darn interesting question. In the case of the Falls Church, the property was donated to the Anglican church prior to the American revolution.

I don't know that another title transfer has been recorded.

My understanding of Virginia law, which I believe trumps canon law, is that a congregation, on voting to leave a demonination carries its church property with it. I would be interested to know what entity is listed on the title for Falls Church, and the other congregations of the old Truro Parish.
