Mecklenburg Co., VA Store Accounts Copied from the original by JoLee Gregory Spears; submitted 23 November 1998 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.
