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.
