Cappon and Duff indexed the Virginia Gazettes through 1780, which were then
microfilmed, and subsequently (and most usefully!) digitized and placed
on-line through the Colonial Williamsburg's Rockefeller Library site
                  (URL :
http://research.history.org/DigitalLibrary/BrowseVG.cfm )

Back then, only one issue from the entire year 1765 was known, and it is the
only issue on the website today. viz.

Joseph Royle's four-page supplement of October 25, 1765

(Which bears a notation at the top of the first page indicating that it was
Gov Fauquier's copy, and which has news of the Stamp Act Congress gathering
in New York that autumn . . . . but I digress . . . )

Does anyone know if other issues of the Virginia Gazette for 1765 may have
surfaced in recent years?

Thank you
