I checked the indexes to the 1986 and 2000 indexes to the Virginia
Genealogical Society Quarterly (correct title since 1984 is the Magazine
of Virginia Genealogy).
No one named Greenwood appears in 1986.
In 2000, the following names are in the index (all in the August issue,
none in November):
Greenwood, James, 234
Samuel, 237
Twyman, 237
William, 237
These were all signators to the Ten Thousand Name Petition, a series of
petitions for religious freedom sent to the General Assembly in October
1776. The original lists can be seen on the Library of Congress's
American Memory website.

James Greenwood is with an unidentified church (probably Baptist),
perhaps in Orange County.
Samuel, William and Twyman Greenwood are on another petition, apparently
members of Blue Run Baptist Church in Orange County.
FYI: www.ancestry.com and Ancestry Library Edition (if your local
library subscribes) include digital images of volumes 1-35 of the
Virginia Genealogical Society Quarterly, 1963-1997. It's part of their
Newspapers and Periodicals section.

Hello.
I am researching the GREENSTREET surname in early Virginia. My mother
was a Greenstreet. I believe that GREENSTREET information appears in the
following
periodicals:
Virginia Genealogical Society Quarterly, August, 2000.
Virginia Genealogical Society Quarterly, November 2000.
Virginia Genealogical Society Quarterly, November, 1986.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone with access to this publication
would provide me with copies of these references. Emailed copies of
originals would be wonderful.
Thank you, Trueman Farris. [log in to unmask]
