This is probably a question for the folks at Colonial Williamsburg, but
I ran across a bill today from Orange County, VA ca. 1807, which listed
among the purchases "7 yds Virginia Cloth." What is/was it, and why
distinguish it from other cloths in the bill?
Thanks in advance for any help one might give.
