Answer 4

I have some books entitled "The 1787 Census of Virginia" by county, by the Genealogical Books in Print, Springfield, Virginia, 1987 which I obtained from Heritage Books, www.HeritageBooks.com.  The ones I have have maps, but of Northern Counties.  I am certain you can find what you need for the James River counties through Heritage Books.

You can also google it; I found the following:

I'd like to have some of those, too.  That would be really cool, even if they are reproductions and not originals.  Let me know if you find any.
