Mecklenburg Co., VA Store Accounts
Copied from the original by JoLee Gregory Spears
Part 1 Ledger 1808-1809 believed to be "Richard Boyd's Store"
Part 2 Yates & Knight Shop Book October 1821 & 1822"
Introduction
Any information to pin point this old store will be welcomed by
the submitter. I believe the store was along the South Fork of the
Meherrin River, possibly in the vicinity of "Cox's Old Mill" on
early maps, or in the area of "Mill Grove" The establishment's
clientele included residents of Mecklenburg, Lunenburg, and some
in Charlotte County.
This old ledger survived for generations in the attic of the
John Gregory home place in Lunenburg, near Mt. Zion Church.
It is, I believe, the accounts of "Boyd's Store" mentioned in
some land boundaries. The minutes of the Lunenburg Co., VA Meherrin
Baptist Church 1771-1844 show the boundary changes from
time to time.
Page 110,111 "1st Saturday in Sept 1809...Bro. Ellis stated to
the Church that he had been requested by some of the Reedy Creek
Members, to request our Church to deligate some of our members,
to attend at their next Meeting for the purpose of regulating
the boundery lines between the two Churches, Brethren, Wm.
Hatchett, Ro. Saunders, [page 111] and John Brown,
delegated for the aforesaid purpose - The Lords Supper administered
by Elder Dabbs -
Richd Dabbs Mo
Tho. B. Ellis Clk,"
"At a Meeting held for Maherrin Church on Saturday the 30th of
Sept 1809. Elder James Shelburn & Brethren Jas. Robertson, John
Allin & Wm. Ellis, attended being Deligated for the purpose of agreeing
on the dividing lines between the two Churches, It was agreed that
from R. Boyds Store (or Coxes old place) That it shall run on Waltons
Old Road, till it comes to Ellis's pathway, thence along said path by
Wm. Ellis's & so on to Robertsons Mill on Middle Maherrin Thence
up said River to Parsons Old Mill where it strikes the same Old
Road again, Thence along sd Road to the big Road at Wm. Crenshaws,
(formerly a Store kept there by said Crenshaw) thence, the Road
leading from that place to Elisha Almonds Thence along the Richmond
Road to the boundery line of Mossingford - "
Further reference to Boyd's Store:
"Chase City & Its Environs" refers to a Drury Allen Bacon deed 1817/18 as
tract that "lay along the road from Christiansville [note: present Chase
City/js] to Boyd's Store on Meherrin River; down Finneywood Creek & adj.
Widow Jones' dower land."
One of numerous deeds of John Cox of Finneywood:
Mecklenburg DB 7:248; 1787 John Cox of Finneywood in Co. of Meck to David Stokes
of Mecklenburg 220 a. on branches of Finneywood Creek & S. fork of Meherrin R.,
part of tract sd John Cox now lives. Lines: Colo. Burwell, Gregory's line,
sd Stokeses line.
