Burns quantity Add to cart Category: Books Description Description Have any genealogical connections to Grayson County, Virginia? This book takes out a large portion of the work in trying to screen through the county’s court and land records for all marriage references and genealogical information. The following records have been scanned for this book:•The first 12 volumes of land records for Grayson County (through 1868), plus part of the 13th volume•County Court Order Books (1793-1869), plus plea books for the Superior Court of Chancery for Wythe District to 1832•Chancery minute books through 1870•Loose chancery record papers from the Library of Virginia for years 1793-1855•Overseer of the Poor Records to 1870•Coroner’s Reports•Revolutionary War pensioners•Select War of 1812 pensioners (incomplete, as the files are still being digitized)•Early deed and court records from neighboring counties in VA and NC with ties to Grayson County•Newspaper articles from VA and NC through 1870•1865 Census Returns of Black Populations (most of the return is included)•This book makes a near comprehensive scan of references regarding marriages, age, genealogical relationships and references (such as heirship), and migrations. The book does not ignore any references to slaves or free blacks as well from chancery suits, court order books, land records, and some of the Freedmen’s Bureau records. Some of these records (War of 1812 pensions, Freedmen’s Bureau) are not fully included, as well as the loose chancery records for 1855-1870; the length of this book is already large, and a subsequent publication will serve an extended period of time for the county’s genealogical references. No will or probate records are included in this book except those which are included in the early deed books or found in chancery suits; these records will be covered in a subsequent book on the county’s probate records. Served by a full name and place index, this book is necessary for any researcher with Grayson County, Virginia research prior to 1870. It saves much of the time in trying to review many repositories and resources by providing the most necessary genealogical information into one book!
