Thank you Dr. Kulka, Dr. Williams...I have just ventured into Virginia history 
other than class room directed subjects, so VCRP is unfamiliar to me.  I did a 
search of VCRP and reading between the lines, was told VCRP is a website.
Would you share the URL address? 

Also, is there a definitation of plantation?  California designates land owned of
1/4 acre is a "ranch".  Our ancestors were VA colonials and gathered land
with gusto according to the land deed/grants.
