The following residents of Cumberland, Virginia, were amongst the subscribers of this volume: James AIKEN Daniel ALLEN William ALLEN Miss Caroline P. P. ENDE Robert FLIPPEN William GLENN, Sr. Randolph HARRISON Thomas JONES John MORROW Mrs. Lucy PAGE Captain Nathaniel PENNICK John H. RANSOME Samuel REYNOLDS James ROPER Stephen W. TRENT William S. WALTON Abner WATKINS William WRIGHT Thomas ELDRIDGE, Jr., of Goochland County, Virginia, was also a subscriber. David HAWTHORNE, John HARRIS and Patrick NORRIS, of Pendleton, South Carolina, were also subscribers. John HARRIS subscribed eight copies and Patrick NORRIS subscribed two. Other subscribers seemed to include concentrations in Abbeville, SC, and Powhattan, VA. I am UNSURE what to make of the list of subscribers other than some Presbyterian minister in Cumberland, Virginia, must have been peddling subscriptions!
