Vestry Book of King William Parish, Virginia 1707-1750, published by the Virginia Historical Society
Clerk of King William Parish in Manakin Town Virginia from July 29, 1721 - July 21, 1726
The vestry granted the sum of 5 pounds peryear, for filling the office of clerk or secretary of this vertry and for reading the word of God in the church of the parish of King William, the said 5 pounds to be paid him according as the harvests shall fall; viz, in wheat at 3 shillings per busherl, or maize at 18 pence per bushel, or tobacco, as shall be agreed on for the levies which the vestry shall judge proper to be made.

"In the matter of clerkly neatness he is not to be compared with Reynaud nor Justice Salle, and the character of his French shows many marks of degeneration. As regards the spelling of proper names, particularly of English names, he out-trumps all of the other clerks in irregularity and carelessness."
