Soft cover. Zustand: New. No Jacket. This work represents the first attempt ever made to collect the names of the various immigrants to Virginia in regard to whose parentage, family connections, or former houses something definite could be learned. It is an alphabetical list of names of immigrants, with brief notes concerning them and with references to printed books or manuscripts in which proofs of the statements made are either given in full or epitomized. The name of the immigrant is first given, followed next by his dates, and immediately after this the place of his residence in Virginia, and finally the foreign reference. [5530].

Soft cover. Zustand: New. No Jacket. Bedford County, Virginia, was formed from portions of Albemarle and Lunenburg counties in 1753. These Bedford County marriage bonds, the oldest of record, furnish the names of about 3,000 prospective brides and grooms, and there are references to some 1,500 parents and sureties. This edition is in an improved format, and the index of brides is in strict alphabetical order. Augmenting this work is the Index of Wills, an alphabetical list of several hundred testators with the probate dates. Index, 99 pp. [J-D1011] softcover.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. No Jacket. Bishop William Meade. Hardbound, Volume 1 only, red cloth with gilt lettering on spine and front, originally published in 1857 and reprinted here in 1995, as new, 490pp. The publisher writes: Over one hundred years ago the Episcopal Bishop, William Meade, put together an important body of records which he incorporated into a now-famous two-volume work called Old Churches, Ministers and Families of Virginia. (A knowledge of the history of the Episcopal Church of Virginia, it should be pointed out, is essential to the genealogist since, prior to civil registration, the Church was the only body authorized by statute to collect and preserve vital statistics. The early parish records, therefore, are indispensable for research in Virginia genealogy.) Compiled from parish records and vestry records, from moldy official documents, family records, and tombstone inscriptions, and from records in Lambeth Palace, London, Meade's narrative focuses on the history of the early Virginia parishes and provides details concerning the origins of the parishes, the drawing of parish lines, and the lives of the ministers and selected church members. Each chapter of the work also contains family histories and extensive lists of vestrymen, communicants, justices, and prominent figures. An appendix of 100 pages contains several interesting historical documents as well as lists of ministers and vestrymen of St. Stephen's and Wicomico Parishes, Northumberland County, and additional family histories. The Index, prepared by Jennings C. Wise, is a guide to 7,000 proper names as well as a digest of important facts recorded in the book. 'This book remains an indispensable storehouse of information about the ecclesiastical history of Virginia during the Colonial period.'--Dictionary of American Biography. 'Bishop Meade's two volumes are fundamental to the study of the parishes of the Episcopal Church in Virginia and their clergy and are an important source of information about many of the leading families of the state.'--The Virginia Genealogist.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. No Jacket. Berkeley County was formed from Frederick County, Virginia in 1772 and remained a part of Virginia until the state of West Virginia was created in 1863. Because of its location, Berkeley County was a natural magnet for migration and a focal point of westward expansion. Much of the action of this legendary drama took place in the eastern panhandle of what is now West Virginia, and the first great migrations to the West cut right through Berkeley County, originating for the most part in Pennsylvania and Maryland. The bulk of Berkeley County's early records--including its marriage records--can be found today in the courthouse in Martinsburg, West Virginia. The marriage records commence in 1781 and are recorded in marriage bond books, church record books, and a miscellaneous volume of marriage records, and are more or less complete up through 1854. The present work is a digest of the marriage records for the entire period from 1781 through 1854. It is arranged in alphabetical order by the names of both brides and grooms and contains the records of nearly 6,000 marriages. In addition to the names of the bride and groom, information given with each entry includes the date of the marriage bond, the date of the marriage itself, the names of suretors or bondsmen, the name of the performing minister, and a reference to the location of the actual marriage record. At least 15,000 persons are mentioned in this work, not counting ministers. iv & xiv 256 pp (1969) repr. 2003. [3147-C].

Soft cover. Zustand: As New. Charles Hughes Hamlin. Softcover, (1967, 1969, 1973), 1975, reprinted here in 2005 as three volumes in one, as new, Index, 412 pages. This collection of genealogical vignettes derives from a variety of miscellaneous records and documents. Like the author's 'They Went Thataway,' it attempts to prove, by a process of careful selection and evaluation, the Virginia connections of an individual or family, focusing exclusively on those persons who either moved to or from Virginia. All data originates from records in the public domain and includes materials drawn from wills, deeds, court orders, census records, tax records, birth, death, and marriage records, church records, military records, powers of attorney, and estate records. Accurate and reliable citations to sources and authorities are given for each item found in the public records. In addition to the above-mentioned records, this work draws on Revolutionary War Size Rolls and the old Virginia Gazette. The specific task of the records is to provide documentary evidence of the migration of individuals and families to Virginia or from Virginia to other states, countries, or territories. In many instances the records are annotated with notes and comments from the compiler's own files and previous research. Proof of internal migration is generally considered to be the type of evidence hardest to establish and easiest to misunderstand, but this work confidently identifies thousands of migrant Virginia ancestors and thousands more of their kinsmen, all of whom are easily located by reference to the comprehensive indexes.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. No Jacket. This work is essentially a compilation of articles that deal wholly or in part with muster and pay rolls, court order books, pension records, land claims, depositions, petitions, militia lists, orderly books, and service records. The majority of the articles focus on the records of the colonial and Revolutionary War periods, but there also are some that relate to the War of 1812. In the aggregate these comprise data of almost unequaled variety and magnitude. Produced over the years by an army of specialists, they were spread throughout the three periodicals named in the title. This varied and immense body of data is brought together in a handy and well-indexed volume, which will make its use by the researcher very easy. As concerns the contents of the volume, the researcher will find colony- or state-wide articles on Virginia military records from the French and Indian War, the Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Civil War. Still other articles concern Virginia Revolutionary Pensioners, the Virginia Society of the Cincinnati, and Virginia Surgeons and Surgeons' Mates Granted Land Before 1836. Of greatest importance, perhaps, is the collection of articles that are each associated with a single Virginia county; namely, Albemarle, Amelia, Amherst, Augusta, Bath, Brunswick, Buckingham, Caroline, Charles City, Charlotte, Dinwiddie, Greenville, Isle of Wight, King George, King William, Middlesex, Montgomery, Nelson, Northampton, Northumberland, Pittsylvania, Powhatan, Prince Edward, Richmond, Surry, and York. Index, (1983), repr. 2000, 1,017 pp. [6064].
