  FIELD JEFFERSON, VESTRYMAN Cumberland Par, Lunenburg County, Va 1746-1816, Vestry Book, 1746-1816, by Landon C. Bell File contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives by Margaret Driskill "Lunenburg, VA had, as we shall see, an important part in the struggle between the vestries and the Colonial Governors". "When the county was created in 1745 it embraced, in addition to its present area, the now comprised in Mecklenburg, Charlotte, Halifax, Pittsylvania, Henry, Franklin, and the greater part of Bedford and Campbell counties". "This great area was comprised in one parish and was named Cumberland. While Lunenburg County and Cumberland parish were created by the act of 1745, it was provided that they should come into existence 'from and immediately after the first day of May next'". "in 1746 the vestry ordered a chapel forty-eight feet by twenty-four feet to be build near Reedy Creek. This was near Lunenburg Court House. Reference: Hening V. 3110 "it was directed by the Act that the sheriff should advertise 'some convenient time and place' for the meeting of the 'freeholders and housekeepers' to elect 'twelve of the most able and discreet persons' of the parish as vestrymen". "The first vestry of Cumberland parish seems to have been composed of the following: Lewis Deloney, Clement Read, Matthew Talbott, Abraham Martin, Lyddall Bacon, David Stokes, Daniel Ferth, Thomas Bouldin, John Twitty, **Field Jefferson**, John Edloe, and John Cox".
