Tim this is exactly what I am hoping folks will do. Share things such as 
this with those who do not have a great library close by to do research.  I 
love P&P and this will let me search when I cannot get to the library. 
Thank you so much!!

I am  going to try and reply to several of you in one email.

Janice, I have  not posted sites. I was asking if others would do so with
good sites they have  found that are not on Ancestry.com or another paid
source. Will however, post  some too.

Claude, I have run across the 1704 Quit Rent site as Ihave  looked on
Virginia RootsWeb in the various counties. Dumb me did not copy down  the 
URL or
save it. Now I cannot find it. I hope maybe someone has it book  marked to
share. But it is there. I promise.

As for searching for line  prior to 1700, I have two mainstays. One is
Purse and Person and the other is  Pioneer and Cavaliers. Both are wonderful
sources of early material. They are  not on line other than in a paid 
source.
But most all libraries with a  genealogical area have them both. There are
multiple books in each and P&P  is sourced! Just beware that in P&C there 
are
many men who were a  transportee who were claimed by a number of people. I
copied down all Thomas  Greens and was amazed to find about 15 or more who
were all transportees into  VA. Some in the same county and some in
neighboring counties. It takes time  and work to get them straight.

I have also used the early Parish  records, The Vestry Book and Register of
St. Peter’s Parish for one,   when they exist and have been amazed at the
amount of information I found in  New Kent County when I went through it 
page
by page! DO NOT just use the  index! I found approximate death dates when
someone was replaced on the  Vestry.

Let me go and search my saved emails and see what good web  sites I can
share and I hope you will do the same.
