Finding the birthplace of any colonial Virginian is going to be QUITE difficult--unless you were a Washington family member or of similar rank. Most early Virginians came over as indentured servants (and those who survived were lucky to get here, considering the conditions in England for poor folks!!!). Landon C. Bell, deceased, was a compiler of many books of Lunenburg Co. I believe he also compiled some church records for Cumberland Parish, Lunenburg Co. A now defunct publishing company, TLC Genealogy, abstracted many books of deeds for Lunenburg Co. These books are at Family History Library Salt Lake City and probably at DAR Library in Washington, DC--and probably at a few libraries between. Go to the Family History Library and do an author search for Landon C. Bell, and you may find, as did I, that several of his books have been filmed. The films can be borrowed for a small fee, for a short time, through a nearby LDS family history center. On the other hand, take a printed list of his books to your local librarian and see whether an Interlibrary (ILL) loan can be effected. Worth your time to learn about this. As I remember, Lunenburg Co. was formed from Brunswick Co., so you may have to search there also. (I cannot remember whether it is Stephen Bradley or A. B. Pruitt who has done some land record research of this area of Virginia.) It may be worthwhile to make a telephone call to the Reference desk of the Library of Virginia and ask whether all Anglican priests in Virginia got their training in England. They were supposed to, I believe, but---who knows? On the frontier, anything could happen. E.W.Wallace whose collateral Rev. John Williams of Meherrin Baptist Church was of colonial Lunenburg Co.
