+'''History'''<br>
+Baptists faced a great deal of persecution from the established church in Virginia in the 1700s. These grievances have created documents that can help identify ancestors that belonged to the faith. The 10,000 name petition (dated 16 October 1776) has been digitized at the [http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/ampage?collId=relpet&fileName=000/013/013page.db&recNum=0 Library of Congress website]. It was signed by people from all over Virginia who wanted an end to persecution of Baptists by the Established Church. Baptists and Baptist sympathizers alike signed the petition. To find your ancestor in this record, first check Hall's transcription in the ''Magazine of Virginia Genealogy'' (Vols. 36-38, with annotations in Vol. 39), which is available online at [http://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=6131 Ancestry] ($). It is also available in book form at the Family History Library: {{FHL|478773|item|disp=FHL Book 975.5 B2vs v. 36-39}}. <br>
