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 ____________________________________ John D.

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?
