    3. I ended up with an extra section with signatures for a 1790 petition (supporting opening the churches for preaching of all "sects") First person who asks, gets it for the cost of mailing. (maybe the rest of you can sweet-talk him/her into making copies for the rest of you). Names on this section (as well as I can decipher the handwriting): Chas. Hudson Obed. Britt John Key Robert Jones George Procter Presley Doltens John Morris Micajah Wheeler [junior?] Jonathan Barksdale John Smith Senr. Jonathan Boling John Barks William Ramsey John Piper Abner Wood Francis Montgomery Jess Wood James Jones Joel Smith James Floyd Richard Dollins Samuel Wallace Cornelius Gilliam John Woods Junr. For your information -- the petitions and signatures are visible on-line through the Virginia State Library. Check the digital library, Early Virginia Religious Petitions (see below).
