Northampton County VA Wills, Deeds & Orders 1651-1654 Book IV
PRICE $30.00
Transcribed and Edited by Frank V. Walczyk
Northampton County VA Orders, Deeds and Wills 1651-1654 Book IV, recorded before Accomack was named a County in 1663, is the fourth book of the early records of Northampton/Accomack County. This volume includes wills, deeds, headrights, and suits. The names of many Indians, Negroes and English, Dutch and Swedish settlers who lived in and had business in the County at the time are mentioned. Very few records of the area later known as Somerset County can be found in the records of St. Mary's prior to 1660. Surprisingly enough, some information, recorded ten years before Somerset was made open for settlement by the Calverts, can be found in the present Northampton County Order Book (Book IV). Indexed, paper, 237 pages.
St. George's Parish Accomack County Vestry Book 1763-1787
PRICE $20.00
Transcribed by Gail M. Walczyk
Some of our most elusive ancestors left neither will nor deed. Finding them in other official written records such as Court Orders, Judicial and Church Records presents many challenges, for some of these records aren't readily available to us. These vestry records hold riches far beyond an accounting of the tobacco or monies collected and disbursed for the parish. They hold the solutions to surname and relationship puzzles that Eastern Shore genealogists so dearly prize. But more than this too, for here we have glimpses of the people of Accomack County--their daily lives and activities. Whom did the parish pay to take care of others? Who was being cared for? Who were the widows, orphans, sick, and natural born children? What were expenses incurred for? Housing, clothing, food, a coffin for the deceased? Paper, 129 pages.
