While I was at the DAR Continental Congress this week, I had time to check out the source for the Virginia (Historical) Magazine, Vol. XXV, October 1917, info Sarah Maycock. (The National Archives Building was closed all week due to the flooding of the basement.) It took some time to track it down because the magazine's source was not exactly clear itself. (Went from the Jefferson reading room to Adams reading room and the Madison reading room; thus, ending up in all three buildings.) The source book from which their information came from was: Minutes of the Council and General court of colonial Virginia, 1622-1632. Published in Richmond, VA by The Colonial Press, Everett Waddey Co. in 1924. Call number J87.V85 This book is located in the Manuscript Reading Room in the Madison Bldg., Rm 101. However, I was unable to copy the pages due to the poor condition of the book. (The spine was broken and the pages were becoming unstitched.) But there was a copy made. It was back in the Jefferson reading room. It was a photocopy of the same book (at 99%). We found that it had a different call number (they are in the process of assigning them the same call number) It was F229 N523. Published by the Virginia State Library in 1979. The preface indicates that these records are compiled from the partially burned remnants of records that were saved after the Richmond fire of 1865. English records, and other papers. Virginia has these remnants in a fireproof vault (Is the vault located in their Archives?). Transcribed: VIIIth day of May 1626 A courte held the viiith day of May 1626 beinge p[?]fent Sr ffrancis Wyatt Knight Gournor &c, Capt ffranis Weft Capt Roger Smith Capt Samuel Mathewes Mr William Cleybourne. Yt is order yt Sara Maycock for fower fervants brought over in the Abigaill 1622 vppon the Accompt of Mr Samuell Maycock fhall have two hundred acres of lande to be taken vpp by her in any place not fomerly Taken vpp. (I used the same basic serif font as the author did except I did not use the superscript font which does not available for this list.) By the way, can anyone in Richmond find out if these original burnt remnants have ever been fully photographed or digitized? Hope this helps. Kim Stracener Zapalac
