Hey Jon,
I love a challenge and I had the National Digital Newspaper project
folks check to see if they had been able to scare up any additional
copies of the VA Gaz from 1765 and they we only have the "W. Parks"
edition which I believe is the October 26th supplement.  The NDNP folks
suggested that you also check Swem at W&M as they seem to have a January
1765 issue.  We'll keep looking.

Good luck,
John

Subject: [VA-HIST] Virginia Gazettes from 1765 ?

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
