I have several ancestral families that spent time in Virginia. Richmond and the Library of Virginia would have to be the first stop to see what records are available for these families.
My Quaker families settled in Frederick Co. and I have done a fairly thorough job there with the Rogers and the non-Quaker Rinkers.
After Richmond, if onsite research is necessary, then the following counties are on my wish list: Orange, Culpepper, Hanover, Caroline, Louisa, Lower Norfolk, Princess Ann, and Prince William. Many of these counties were formed out of others on the list, which makes that stop in Richmond crucial. [Families: Gulley, Franklin, Barlow, Sumter, Land, Keeling, Bonney.]
Local museums and historical sites would help tell the stories of the families. A return to Colonial Williamsburg, Yorktown and Jamestown would also be in order.
