-To learn more about the origins of Church of England ministers sent to Virginia from England during the colonial period, start with these books:
-*Fothergill, Gerald. ''A List of Emigrant Ministers to America, 1690-1811''. London: E. Stock, 1904. Digital versions at [http://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=4760 Ancestry] ($); [http://books.google.com/books?id=lVgEAAAAIAAJ Google Books]; [http://www.archive.org/details/listofemigrantmi00fothuoft Internet Archive], 1965 reprint: {{FHL|283621|item|disp=FHL Book 973 W2f 1965}}. Addendum published in ''Caribbeana'', Vol. 3 (1914):312-313. Digital version at [http://dloc.com/UF00075409/00003/336j?search=caribbeana dLOC] - free.<br>
-*Weis, Frederick Lewis. ''The Colonial Clergy of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina''. Boston, Mass.: Society of the Descendants of Colonial Clergy, 1955. {{FHL|291278|item|disp=FHL Book 975 D3wc}}; digital version at [http://www.worldvitalrecords.com/indexinfo.aspx?ix=gpc0806307315_fredericklewisweis1955 World Vital Records] ($).
-[http://colonialclergyorg.blogspot.com/ The Society of the Descendants of the Colonial Clergy] points researchers to many valuable resources.
-Church of England ministers sent to Virginia were often educated at the English universities of Cambridge and Oxford. The website [http://www.pricegen.com/english_genealogy.html Expert Links: English Family History and Genealogy] contains links to many of these university's records available online under the "Occupations" section.
-[http://www.theclergydatabase.org.uk/jsp/search/index.jsp The Clergy of the Church of England] website (work in progress) also contains details of many of their ministerial careers before departing for America.
-Very few of Virginia's colonial glebe houses (residences of Church of England ministers owned by the parish) survive today.<ref>John Frederick Dorman, "Review of ''The Glebe Houses of Colonial Virginia,"'' in ''The Virginia Genealogist,'' Vol. 47, No. 4 (Oct.-Dec. 2003):313.
