County, Virginia, and its early white settlers, and native
inhabitants. The book provides detailed biographical and
genealogical sketches of many residents, and detailed genealogical
information on the Bennett and Boddie families in the Carolinas and
Virginia. Approximatley 190 pages are devoted to Wills, Deeds, Land
Grants, Quit Tax Rolls, and a Roster of County Officers.
Supplementing this massive work, are three indexes, which address
subjects, places, and names. Paperback, (1938), repr. 2012, Illus.,
Index, 779 pp.
John Bennett Boddie's books on the early families of the Virginia
lower Tidewater and Southside regions are among the most frequently
consulted works on that area. The first volume in this valuable
two-volume set contains lineages of families from the early
counties of Isle of Wight, Prince George, and Surry. The index
refers to well over 10,000 names.
This register is unique in that it is the only existing complete
parish register for the section of Virginia south of the James
River extending from Brunswick to Princess Anne counties. It is
alphabetically arranged by family name and includes names, dates of
births, and less frequently, deaths, names of parents, and the
names of all sponsors at christenings (those who were godparents,
usually being relatives). There is a separate index to sponsors,
which, when calculated with the main entries in the text, pushes
the total number of persons named to approximately 11,000.
