"The Presbyterians were the first sect or denomination to make any appreciable inroads upon the Anglican church;
but Presbyterianism did not make any considerable headway in the Colony for a long time after
its first appearance. As early as 1683 some Presbyterians were living
in eastern Virginia."

LUNENBURG COUNTY, VIRGINIA - BRITISH CLAIMS AGAINST CITIZENS
Before the Revolutionary War, the British operated stores in Virginia to supply
goods for the local citizens. With the start of war, British property was confiscated and Virginians refused to pay existing debts to the various companies or stores. After the war, a 1783 treaty laid in place the
opportunity to settle those debts. It took many years to arrange special agents to file suits for recovery in the courts of Virginia.
Around 1800, those special agents began to determine the status of individual debts. Reports of the special agents have been archived in London public offices.
Reviewing the reports, one can find clues to migration, family information, and financial status of the defendants. REPORTS OF GEORGE
CRAGHEAD, LUNENBURG COUNTY, VIRGINIA SPECIAL AGENT
Debts due Alexander Spiers, John Bowman & Company Store, Cumberland Parish,
Lunenburg County:
Joseph BILLUPS - Removed to Nottoway County some years ago.
He conveyed by deed all his property to his sons, John Billups and Richard Billups,
upon their agreeing to pay his debts.
