Warwick County, Virginia

Description

The original records of Warwick County have never been transcribed–until now. Thanks to the prodigious efforts of Mr. Richard Dunn and The Jones House Association of Williamsburg, Virginia, however, we are in possession of a meticulously transcribed volume which purports to gather up the crumbling documents of colonial Warwick–some of them from the 1640s–and make them accessible to researchers for the first time. Arranged by repository and thereunder chronologically, the entries derive mostly from court order books, record books, minutes, cattle accounts, and a variety of miscellaneous materials. In the aggregate, the transcriptions do researchers the service of placing upwards of 10,000 Virginia ancestors in Warwick County at a particular moment during the colonial period.
