At the time the Pohick Church was built, it was an Anglican custom for landed gentry to purchase private box pews to provide private space at public worship. This custom also helped to defray the cost of the new church's construction.

Archives is custodian of two original deeds for church pews in the Pohick Church dated 1774, signed by George Washington, George Mason and other Fairfax County notables who were members of the vestry of the Truro Parish. One deed is between the Church Vestry and Martin Cockburn while the other is a transfer of a pew from Martin Coffer to William Triplett.
