Editor's Note:
Following this meeting of 28th December, 1786, which definitely marks the termination of the parish vestry's handling of funds raised by public taxation for support of the poor, a new vestry was elected at a meeting held at Kempsville on 27th December 1787, in accordance with an act of assembly and an ordinance of the diocesan convention of that year. At this meeting, the new vestry received the resignation of the Reverend James Simpson, effective 6th May, 1788, and he was succeeded as rector of Lynnhaven Parish by the Reverend Anthony Walke, who obtained ordination as a minister in that year and served until his resignation on 10th Octo- ber, 1800.
During his incumbency, the vestry minutes were almost entirely devoted to the members' proceedings as trustees of Dickson's Free School, and do not have the same interest as the records included in this publi- cation. The vestry book continues until 16th November, 1892, with com- plete lapses from 1814-1821 and 1860-1865, as the result of war. A pho- tostatic copy of the complete vestry record of the parish, extending from 1723 to 1892, is available for research, at the Virginia State Library, O Richmond, Virginia, and has been transcribed by the Editor in the preceding pages of this publication, through the year 1786.
