DESCRIPTION: This report was prepared in October, 1697 shortly before the time that Williamsburg superceded Jamestown as the capitol of Virginia. Though the three authors lived in England, they had spent time in Virginia for several years. This document is their joint reply to questions asked them by the newly organized Lords Commissioners of Trade and Plantations, commonly known as the Board of Trade, in London, who supervised many of the day-to-day activities in the colonies in terms of mercantile trade and governmental appointments. It was first published in 1727.

FAQ: What is a “Family File” in the catalog?
Our Family Files contain various loose paper research materials donated to us by professional and amateur historians and researchers. They sometimes, but do not usually, also contain copies of pages from published books that would be found on our library shelves. Family Files are arranged by surname and may cover multiple lines and counties, mostly in eastern Virginia. They are of varying quality. Some include carefully researched data complete with citations to sources. Others are simply genealogical charts, family group sheets, handwritten notes, or other data which may or may not include references. Printed or scanned copies can be purchased. Contact us for specifics.
