Sorry- I  probably used an incorrect phrase when mentioning dissolution  
of  parish lands.
I am under the impression that, when the Church of  England ceased to  
be the recognized religion of Colonial Virginia,  any lands owned by a  
parish were reclaimed and sold as taxable  acreage. I believe this  
included any areas previously designated for  support of the household  
of the minister.

It wouldn't seem  unlikely that this cleric might wish to purchase some  
of the lands  he had managed, and that this purchase might have to be  
proven at a  later time if an inventory and assessment were taking place.

If any if  my 'impressions' are faulty please don't hesitate to set the  
record  straight. Having the opportunity to learn is one of the best   
features of this list.
