Just as a follow up on this: with help from members of the list, I was able to pull together some material on Hoodoo in and near Williamsburg from the 17th C. on. It’s available at SSRN:
Meyers, Terry L., Hoodoo in Williamsburg (July 17, 2023). Available at SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=4513006 or http://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4513006<https://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4513006>
