Rev. Massey's book Colonial Churches of Virginia says this about  
Westover Parish:
	Originally Charles City County contained two parishes - Westover  
(upper) and Weyanoke (lower) Parishes. Each of these was divided by  
the James River into two parts, a northern and southern. In 1720 the  
northern parts of Westover & Weyanoke Parishes, together with part of  
another parish called Wallingford (which extended to the Chickahominy  
River) were all united into one parish. It retained the name Westover.

I hope this helps.
