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.
