Forgot to mention; even before 1700 ALL attorneys, no matter of what ilk or
who representing, were required to be licensed.  Paul

Subject: King's Attorney?


Question as to how one was appointed king's attorney in Virginia.  I have
someone who died in 1767 and is claimed to have been king's attorney.  He
died in the Alexandria/Fairfax Co. area.  I don't spot such appointments in
Hening's statutes.  What other record might be search to document such a
claim?  What people could or could not be so appointed?
