Page 149 - . . . Buckingham County was formed in 1761 from the part of Albemarle County lying south of the James River. It then included the northern part of Appomattox County and a small triangular area bordering on James River which was added to Cumberland County in 1778. There were no other border changes until Appomattox County was created in 1845. A slight change in Buckingham-Appomattox border was made in 1860.
A courthouse fire in 1869 destroyed all county records prior to that date. Only two plat books, 1762-1814 and 1783-1799, now at the Virginia State Library [Library of Virginia] have been preserved. The Virginia State Library [Library of Virginia] has tithable lists for 1773 and 1774, personal property tax books exist for 1782-1863, with the exception of 1808 and 1816. After 1787 there are books for each of the two districts of the county. There are land tax books for 1782, 1787-1863 and lists of alterations 1783-1786. [Dorman, John. "A Guide to the Counties of Virginia: Buckingham County," The Virginia Genealogist, Vol. 6, 1962.]

Page 69 - Much can be learned about researching in counties with record loss by noting the techniques of George H.S. King. As always, Mr. King utilized the records that do exist such as newspapers and court records outside the boundaries of the county, such as district courts. He also consulted out-of-state published accounts. In the state and territories that were settled in the nineteenth century, many Virginia emigrant families were proud of their heritage and early Virginia family histories may be found in some of those publications.
King also made extensive use of manuscript collections especially letters and family papers and frequently consulted collections in out-of-state repositories such as the Brock Collection in Huntington Library in California. Today Virginia researchers can consult the Library of Virginia's card catalog and online database to access the Brock collection now available on microfilm. However, researchers should remember that as collections have grown in all the libraries in Virginia subsections and new libraries have been formed. Much of what King references in the Alderman Library at the University of Virginia may be found in the Albert & Shirley Small Special Collections Library. Researchers should always search for the individual record rather than the microfilm or accession number listed on King's notecard - some of these may have changed. The reference numbers listed by King have not [been] vertified against present-day access numbers.

Page 19 - Loudon County researchers are extremely fortunate that many of the county's records are not only extant, but also, have been transcribed. The transcribed tithable lists should be helpful in placing many of the names from this list in a specific section of the county. Some of the names won't be found on the tithable lists either because all the lists do not survive or the individual is living in the household of a family member or an employer who paid the tax. Remember that these men served in 1781. While they still hadn't been paid in 1783, some had most likely left the area by then.

Page 310 - Although collected for the use of the Overseers of the Poor, it is interesting to note that the poor tax is still referenced as a parish levy (p. 195). In October 1804 delinquent and insolvent levies for 1803 were accounted for. Levies for Winchester appear to have been 70 cents and those for Frederick 75 cents with Winchester having 44 delinquents @ .70 cents ($30.80) and Frederick a total of 538 in 5 districts @ 75 cents ($408.50) (page 199). However, George Catlett, one of the collectors later produced an additional 63 delinquents in Frederick to 615 ($461.25). The sheriff who had posted bond to guarantee the funds collected was personally responsible for all taxes not certified as delinquent. The levy for 1804 was established at 75 cents for both Winchester and Frederick (pp. 195, 205) suggesting this was a pretty standard rate.

Following the loss of his home by a fire in early 1758, Patrick Henry, the famed statesman, began running a store selling primarily textiles. A business he continued until 1760 when he obtained a license to practice law. The first of Henry's three surviving ledgers covers the period from 1758 to 1763 and reflects the transition from merchant to lawyer with the first part recording standard accounting debits and credits for store purchases. By 1760, the entries change to charges against Henry's law clients. Both types of entries are especially important due to the scarcity of colonial records in Hanover County, a burned record county.

This article is about Rev. James Keith, who as far as I know, we are not related to, however, there are property maps included that show location of land owned by Samuel & William Nelms in 1728. Also a very interesting diagram showing the progression of Hamilton Parish over time.
page 259 - In the meantime, Virginia's General Assembly was in the process of reorganizing counties and parishes to accommodate the westward migration of the expanding population. In a 1730 enactment, Hamilton Parish was formed from the northern portion of Overwharton Parish, and parishioners were directed to "meet a tthe church above Occoquan ferry" (the old Overwharton chapel) to elected a vestry. In 1732, when the new Truro Parish was taken from Hamilton's eastern flank along the Potomac, the church at Occoquan, Hamilton's functional parish church, went with Truro. According to Groome, Hamilton then took an old church on Quantico Creek near the future town of Dumfries as its parish church and started building a chapel closer to the hub of parish activity in the area near the Shenandoah Hunting Path and Elk Run. In 1745, with the act that divided Hamilton Parish yet again, the old Quantico/Dumfries church was assigned to th enew (Dettingen) parish, and the wooden chapel on Elk Run was designated Hamilton's parish church, thereafter called Elk Run Church. That chapel was eventually replaced by a brick cruciform structure, now the subject of an Elk Run site preservation and museum that was begun in 1999.

Page 261 - Ministers at the time [ca. 1745] were basically itinerant throughout the entire parish and its chapels - not chiefly at the parish church as we now think it - and offered service to other parishes as needs arose. Keith's activities during this period can thus be gleaned from records of neighboring parishes.

Personal property tax lists often provide interesting tidbits of information. Of most interest, of course, is the occasional relationship noted. However, other pieces of information can provide clues that can help determine relationships. Relative wealth, i.e. number of horses and slaves, can help differentiate between two men of the same name. Occupations, such as the constables noted in this list are useful. One can often find a description of their district in the order books when they are appointed. Particular attention should be paid to whether they have white tithables listed since they are exempt frm the head tax while they are a constable. In this list one also sees the L. free (levy free) notation when an individual has been exempt from axes by the county justices, such a designation should prompt a check of the court order book for the reason. And then there are the locations, such as TB for Toms Brook, which identify the area in which they live. There are also the questions: what does P or R represent, why are there checkmarks by some names? The answer may never found or it may reside in another list. One tax list will never provide all the answers; that comes from the composite built from an examination of all the lists involving a particular individual.

Little, Barbara. "Augusta County Militia Districts [Undated]," Magazine of Virginia Genealogy, Vol. 55, No. 2, 2017, p. ibc2 [inside back cover] [Bundle: Insolvents Lists, 1785-1804, Box 1, Loose Papers, Augusta Co. Clerk's Office.]
This scrap of paper, most likely created after the District of West Augusta was created in 1773, but before 1778, speaks to the remoteness of the western portion of Augusta and the lack of organization there, but also to the lack of information in the more mountainous portions along the South Branch of the Potomac. During this period tithable lists were created and taxes collected based on militia districts.
