During its session begun in October 1776, the General Assembly passed an act creating customs districts, providing for the election of naval officers to serve in each district, and for fixing duties and ascertaining fees. The governor issued commissions to the naval officers following their election by the General Assembly. Each officer was assisted by one or more assistants, called searchers, who registered vessels as they arrived in port, examined and described their cargoes, and noted to whom the goods were consigned. The naval officers and their assistants also were responsible for registering goods to be exported. The collection of customs by individual states ended in 1790, when the government of the United States assumed that function.","Naval Officer districts were created for the Accomac, Elizabeth River, Lower James River, Northampton, Rappahannock River, South Potomac River, Upper James River and the York River.","Naval Officers included the following: Accomac District (Eastern Shore) - William Gibb; Elizabeth River District - Lewis Burwell; Lower James River District (Hampton) - Jacob Wray; Northampton District (Eastern Shore) - George Savage; Rappahannock District - Hudson Muse; South Potomac District- Charles Lee; South Quay District - Thomas Bowne; Upper James River District - Beverly Dickson; York River District - Abraham Archer.","These records are part of the Auditor of Public Accounts record group (R.G. 48)","Naval Officer records include the following: Returns of goods imported and exported, 1778-1789; Office of the Searcher permits and returns, 1787-1789; Ship registrations, 1785-1989; State Boats Liberty and Patriot, 1782-1789; and Miscellaneous, 1782-1789.","The duties of the naval officers required them to examine goods and clear them for import or export.

Exports often included bacon, corn, flaxseed, flour, ginseng, grain, lard, lumber, oats, peas, pork and tobacco.\n","Returns, 1778-1789, include various types of returns, lists and accounts. May include returns for: Vessels Entered (imports), Vessels Cleared (exports), Duties Collected and Secured, Vessels Cleared - Hospital and Tonnage, Revenue Collected, Total Exports (exclusive of tobacco), Total Exports of Tobacco, Total Imports, and Total Tonage and Seamen, as well as Books of Bonds and Books of Duties.
