What do we know of these churches?
From the Vestry Book of Cumberland Parish:
Lunenburg co Va
1746 to 1749, Robert Allen appointed Reader
1749 Robert Allen was appointed clerk of Little Roanoke
1751 Robert Allen was clerk and sexton at Otter River Church
Drury Allen and his brother, Robert Allen, lived in the Reedy Church area, a part of Lunenburg County. They also lived near Lydall Bacon, who was the collector of tithes for that district. He lived in Hanover, Lunenburg, then Amelia, then Bute and Caswell. Any info on the churches? Saj

Sue,
wondering if this William Hogg is the same mentioned in Hienegg’s book pp. 530. Excerpt:
George3 Gibson, born say 1730, was a taxable in 1750 in John Wade’s list for Granville County [CR 44.701.23]. This part of Granville became Orange County in 1752, and George was a “Molata” taxable there in 1755 [T&C Box 1, p.19]. By 19 November 1757 he had married Elizabeth Lowe, a white woman of Northampton County, daughter of John and Sarah Lowe. She was mentioned in her father’s will of that date. By the terms of this will his wife received a slave and he was allowed to continue to live on 150 acres of land in Northampton County [WB 1:41]. While resident in Northampton County he purchased 439 acres on Quankey Creek in Halifax County on 5 June 1761 and sold it for the same price two years later on 17 January 1763 [DB 7:318; 8:209]. While residing in Orange County on 18 July the same year, he sold two slaves and sixteen head of cattle (which he received from his mother-in-law’s estate) to his brother-in-law, Thomas Lowe, of Northampton County [DB 3:622]. On 26 May 1770 he purchased 150 acres on the west side of Flat River in Orange County from (his uncle?) Thomas Gibson. His 5 November 1775 Orange County will was proved in May 1776 [WB A:195]. He named his (then) wife Mary, and mentioned but did not name his “Sons and Daughters now living in the County” and provided for the schooling of his unnamed younger children. Joel Gibson and Lucrecy Collins were witnesses; Thomas Gibson, Sr., was executor. After his death Mary entered 300 acres on Greens Creek and Rutledges Creek in Caswell County on 13 January 1779 on a line agreed between William Hog and Julius Gibson, and she entered 200 acres in Caswell County on the South Hyco Creek bordering Orange County on 26 July 1779 [Pruitt, Land Entries: Caswell County, I:75, 89]. She was taxable in Caswell in 1790 [NC:79]. The inventory of her Caswell County estate was recorded by Joel Gibson in 1795. The inventory mentioned James, John, and Richard Gibson [WB C:118].
