Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the Committees of Safety of Cumberland and Isle of Wight Counties, Virginia: 1775-1776 In accordance with this provision of the Association local committees were formed very shortly all over the land, and the way in which they carried out the suggestions or directions made by the Continental Congress and by provincial congresses or conventions may be seen in the Cumberland and Isle of Wight proceedings which follow. The Virginia county committees soon became, when in the further progress of the revolution the several agencies of roya 1 government disintegrated the actual governments in great measure of their respective communities till the provisions of Virginia's first constitution, adopted by representatives of her people in June, 1776, went into effect. They were at first called committees of observation, or committees of inspection, or committees of inspection and observation, or committees for carrying out the provisions of the Association, or merely committees, but in course of time, after the formation of the central Committee of Safety by the Virginia Convention on August 24, 1775, they came to be referred to as local committees of safety.
