The authors first transcribed data from microfilm available from
the Library of Virginia for marriages reported beginning in 1853,
then compared this information to the actual license and return
(whenever possible) and to the marriage books available in the
Clerk's Office, Loudoun County Court House, Leesburg, Virginia. The
authors found much information which was not included on the
microfilm and have added it to the transcription. A typical entry
includes groom's name, bride's name, date of marriage, place of
marriage, race, previous marital status, place of birth, residence,
occupation, date of license, consent, marriage official and date of
return. A full-name index adds to the value of this work.
Land records are a rich mine of genealogical information. This
volume continues the series, which consists primarily of deeds, but
these early land records served as a "catch-all" for recordation of
events, so a variety of documents are abstracted here such as
powers of attorney, patents, articles of agreement, acknowledgement
of receipt of estate portion, deeds of gift to family members,
contracts, and quit claims. A few surprising items appear including
some marriage records and births. Every name and relationship is
abstracted.
This volume contains those records of Liber A (seventeen pages) not
included in the above book, plus all of Liber B. These documents
seem to be concentrated for the following periods: 1693-1698
(twenty-three pages), 1783, 1788, 1792, and 1802-1805, plus a
scattering of entries of various dates. This is a hodge-podge of
records, obviously re-recorded in no real order. Many of the
documents of the latter periods are petitions, deeds, mortgages,
manumissions, agreements, bonds, and a few certificates attesting
to wounds received in the Revolution.
This work consists primarily of deeds, but these early land records
served as a "catch-all" for recordation of all kinds of documents.
