William and James Woodmore/Wadmore lived in the area 1785-1830's. >> Pat, Unfortunately there isn't much in the book regarding Woodmore, etc. pg. 18-20 Nov 10, 1786 To the Honourable the Speaker & Gentlemen of the House of Delegates. The Petition of the Inhabitants of the County of Buckingham, Humbly Sheweth -- That during the Continuance of the late Iniquitous and therefore Justly exploded establishment of the Church of England, all Denominations of Christians were Taxed for its particular Emoluments, whereby the Clergy were not only furnished with Annual Salaries, but large sums have been apropriated to the purchasing of Gleebe [sic] Lands, Parsonage Houses, Churches, Vestments, Plate, etc. for the use of the said Church, that if it be unjust that one denomination of Christians be taxed for the Support of those who are of a different Persuasion in matters of Religion, as even the interested and the Bigoted (such is the force of Evidence) do Acknowledge; it is doub[t]less equally unjust to detain and Continue to Misapply what the Rapacious hand of Oppression has wrested from the Rightufl Proprietor for the like purposes, that your Petitioners conceive the Act for Incorporating the Protestant Episcopal Church which disposes of the property of every Denomination of Christians in the Common Wealth Indiscriminately to the use and the Benefit of the Episcopalians without the Publich Approbation and Consent is unjust for the above Reasons.-- Your Petitioners therefore move your Honourable House that the Premises may be taken into Mature Consideration and that order may be taken for the deposal of the above described Property the money arising from which to remain in each county to discharge the Parish and County levies. [This petition is signed by many people including Wm. WODMORE] Another petition regarding the Church and holding property, dated Oct 17, 1787 is signed by Wm. WADMORE Another petition same wording as for the petition above, but dated Nov 15, 1794 is signed by Wm. WADMORE That's all I can find on your family line. Judy
