King and Queen County, Virginia

Description

Fully one-third of this county history is comprised of genealogical sketches and family records compiled from the primary sources of King and Queen County. Bagby ably covers the settlement and development of this tidewater county, which was formed from New Kent County in 1691 and which today adjoins the counties of Caroline, Essex, Middlesex, Gloucester, and King William. War rosters, lists of officials and early settlers, biographical sketches and anecdotes also abound.
