A couple of references allude to him as Rev. William Isbell.
From Fran Barker:
"Rev. William Douglas Isbell
Born: 1777
Married: Ann "Nancy" Murray Walton
(1779-1852)
Died: 1850*
Ministry: St. James N. Parish
Goochland Co. VA
October 12, 1750
In charge/served: 27 years Maniken town; King William Parish 19 years Buckingham Co. VA: Ministered to a charge 4 years."
This appears to be information from:
William Macfarlane Jones, The Douglas Register, Being a Detailed Register of Births, Marriages and Deaths ...as Kept by the Rev. William Douglas, from 1750-1797."
(1928, 1985). "William Douglas served St. James Northam Parish in Goochland County, Virginia (Dover Church) beginning in October 1750. He served for twenty-seven years, and also had charge of Maniken Town (King William Parish) for nineteen years, and served in Buckingham County for four years."}
Rev. William Douglas was an Episcopal minister. From Wikipedia: "The Reverend William Douglas was the Church of England minister of the vast St. James Northam Parish which encompassed today's Virginia counties of Goochland, Fluvanna, Louisa, Orange, and Spotsylvania. The original Dover Church in Goochland, no longer standing, was his "home" church. Being the only legally authorized clergyman, Douglas compiled (nearly) all births, marriages, and deaths covering the period from about 1750 to 1797, with some miscellaneous records going back to 1705 that the reverend took upon himself to recreate as there was no register before he came to office."
