The University of Virginia (Charlottesville) and the College of William and Mary (williamsburg) contain extensive collections of papers regarding your subject. You will need to search their library using a specific surname, eg. Lightfoot. As to your "first families" question: Generally speaking, you're talking about those who received patents of land from the King. Lee, Lightfoot, Randolph, Peyton are some names that come to mind. Hope you find what you're looking for. If I can be of any assistance, don't hesitate to ask.

Jason
