I have a copy - the Webb name is listed 52 times starting on page one which is around 1695-1700. Page one starts with John Webb continuing as Sexton of Norcut for the Upper Church till January next (this means one year) 7 paid at the rate of 400 lbs of tobacco w/cask (tobacco receipts). first names: Elizabeth pg 365 paid for food 11-8-1757, F. Webb pg 551 - 1779, George, John, Julius, Lewis, Robert, Ronert Jr., William. Many entries for John page 1 thru 481 - 1771 yr. The copy I have is softbound reproduction issued by the VA Library. I strongly suggest that you look at it online as opposed to in person at the copy of an original (in script). The forward in the copy I have explains how difficult the text was to read & also disjointed. It also explains more about the parish. For those who are out there: these records were kept because they had to & when they got messy or messed up the next clerk RECOPIED them by hand. In St. Paul's Parish, only the actual payments & appointments & processioning (walking land) are available as the birth & deaths book was not kept up & is now lost. This fact is noted also right in the vestry book as a complaint of the vestry against one of their clerks. So we do not have a very important part of the historical data - just a mention here & there of a person IF They Had to Pay them, or if they required their services. Once in a while you can read between the lines & notice that someone is getting paid because they took care of an ill person in their home or housed a convicted person or a poor person or child. So it is really a historical collection of Account Payable :) mostly.
