CLERGYMEN
The following list contains the names of the ministers (in- cumbents of the parish and temporary supply preachers) who served Blisland Parish between 1721 and 1786. The numerals (in parentheses) preceding each clergyman's name indicate the number of the page in this volume on which the name first ap- pears; the date (in parentheses) following the name indicates the year in which the clergyman is first mentioned in the Vestry Book.

NOTES
Mossom, - The Rev. Mr. Mossom referred to on page 39 was, doubtless, the Rev. David Mossom, minister of St. Peter's Parish, New Kent County, from 1727 until his death, in 1767.
Leneve, . The Rev. Mr. Leneve referred to on page 39 was, doubtless, the Rev. Wm. Le Neve (entered Cambridge University in 1707; ordained in 1722), who was minister of James City Parish, James City County, from 1722 to 1737. In 1723 and again in 1726 he served as chaplain of the General Assembly of the Colony.
Mr. Mossom and Mr. Le Neve were engaged as temporary supply preachers for the two churches in Blisland Parish. As,
234

however, there is no record in the Vestry Book of any payment having been made them for services that they had rendered, it is entirely possible that the agreements made with them by the vestry of Blisland Parish never went into effect.
