Subject: RE: BS: Read any good books lately?
"A Blessed Company"- Parishes, Parsons and Parishioners in Anglican Virginia, 1690-1776. A wonderful book describing the Anglican Parishes in Colonial Virginia
Great Factoid: Beginning in 1696, Anglican clergy in Virginia were paid a salary of 16,000 pounds of tobacco, which was never increased until clergy salaries were discontinued in 1776. That's a long time between pay raises!
