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.
