I found this in old files, there may be more.  While not conclusive, here is
a suggestion of Warwick’s as a port in 1835 in William Henry Brockenbrough’s
“A new and comprehensive gazeteer of Virginia, and the District of

“James River is navigable for vessels of 250 tons to Warwick and 125 tons to
Rocket’s, the port of Richmond.”
