Richard Randolph, Gentleman, produces a letter Directed to him, from the Hon'ble William Byrd, Efquire, which is read as followeth, Viz:
"October 12, 1740. "SIR :
"I fhould, with great pleafure, oblige the Veftry, and particularly your felf, in granting them an Acre to build their Church upon, but there are fo many roads already through that Land, that the Damage to me would be too great to have another of a mile long cut thro' it. I fhould be very glad if you would pleafe to think Richmond a proper place, and confidering the great number of people that live below it, and would pay their Devotions there, that would not care to go fo much higher, I can't but think it would be agreeable to moft of the people, and if they will agree to have it there, I will give them two of the beft lots, that are not taken up, and befides give them any Pine Timber they can find on that Side Shockoe Creek, and Wood for burning of Bricks into the bargain. I hope the Gent. of the Veftry will believe me a Friend to the Church when I make them the Offer, and that I am both theirs,
"Sir, and "Your moft Humble Serv't,
"W. BYRD."
Whereupon the queftion is put whether the faid Church fhould be Built on the Hill caled Indian Town, at Richmond, or at Thomas Williamfon's plantation on the Brook Road, and is carryed by a majority of voices for the former. It is thereupon Ordered that the Church, formerly Agreed to be Built by Richard Randolph, Gent., on the South Side of Bacon's Branch, be Built on Indian Town, at Richmond, after the Same manner as in the faid Former Agreement, was mentioned.
