Try starting with Jay Worrall, The Friendly Virginians: America's First
Quakers (1994), which contains quite a bit of useful information.

Subject: Re: Quakers in Virginia
Could someone please supply me with information regarding the Quakers, who
arrived in VA in 1655, and how they learned the building trades? I believe
the Winston family brought architectural pattern books with them from
England. However, none of the architectural pattern book samples, in
William Pain, Asher Benjamin or Owen Biddle's pattern books match the
architectural patterns used.

There seems to have been a sudden Catholic interest in Virginia in 1687.
There is supposedly a monument to a Jesuit priest killed in Stafford County
that year while trying to work among the Indian population and two Jesuits
were active in Norfolk the same year. The Jesuit priest in Stafford County
may have been brought in by George Brent.
Two Jesuits were arrested for missionary work in the 1630s in the area that
eventually became Westmoreland County. Apparently they had come from the
Settlement at St. Marys in Maryland.
