References abound to Revolutionary soldiers, Tories, lands in Kentucky, early roads, bastardy, criminals, as well as the voluminous court cases between residents.

As it was constructed by several court clerks, the spelling, grammar, capitalization, and so forth vary immensely. I have taken the liberty of adding (especially) commas to some of the work to facilitate reading and understanding. Be aware that the original work used commas sparingly and sometimes in the wrong places (retained)! Of course, the apostrophe was rarely used in the earliest years and has not been placed by me where it should be. Otherwise, this Minute Book has been transcribed \"as is\", with many \"variations\" of the clerk signaled by underline. There is a great gap between approx. Aug. 1784 through 1818 in the Washington County, Virginia minute books (and again 1822-1836). The \"classical version\" I have heard is that they were burned when the courthouse was burned in 1864; if this be the case, it is very fortunate that for some providential reason, Minute Book \"2\" (which was likely about Minute Book 6 or 7 or so) detailing the years 1819-1821 survived.

The transcription or abstraction of these works is a very important effort remaining lacking in the work to be done on Washington County records.

Hayes (and later, James Garfield) as President. President Hayes' wife, \"Lemonade Lucy\" (Lucy Ware Webb, alias Hayes) would have been pleased with the stepped up \"moral bleaching and scrubbing\" given Washington County, Virginia in those years with numerous prosecutions for running houses of ill fame, adultery, fornication, seduction, lewdness, and lewd and lascivious cohabitation, but she would have likely been disgruntled at the seemingly liberal allowances of liquor and bar room licenses accorded in the same period by the Washington County, Virginia Court!

The importance of this work cannot be over-emphasized. For at least a brief few years, this deed book was vital to establishing residents not only in Washington county itself, but also outside the confines of today's reduced Washington County, including Russell, Lee, Scott, Wise, and Tazewell Counties. It includes numerous references to early migration to Tennessee and Kentucky. Also from the new work comes references which demonstrate that no more than twenty percent of the earliest settlers in the region were from direct migration westward by pioneers from the eastern English counties; the greater majority were scattered among areas like the Northeast (Pennsylvania, New Jersey, etc) as well as numerous settlers from North Carolina. This is a very important work for documenting the earliest land deeds in southwestern Virginia. Hockett has examined not only the deficient 1953 film of the book, but he has elicited numerous reputable sources to fill in the blanks as well as confirming much material from the fragile original copy in Abingdon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThomas Jack Hockett and Donald Helton\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2012, 8.5\" x 11\", index, 335 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e107-WDB1\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iberian Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":29522776817782,"sku":"107-WDB1","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/107-wdb1-1500px.png?v=1777313896"},{"product_id":"107-wdb2","title":"Washington County, Virginia Deed Book 2, 1797-1802","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom the Introduction: Washington County, Virginia Deed Book 2 begins with a deed of 15 August 1797 and ends 552 pages later (two page numbers (23 and 24) are used twice) with a deed of 23 September 1802. The arrangement of the deeds is usually, although not always, chronological. Deeds are not witnessed in probably over half of the instances, the required joining of the spouse to the act of indenture and the relinquishment of dower, etc. seem to also be oft casually ignored, but sometimes acted upon years later. Most deeds contain a warrant clause to protect against any other possible claims, but this is not always the case; both pounds and dollars are used in this deed book as payment with the former being the most common currency employed.

A few examples of this can be found in the histories of such families as the Coles and Wheelers from New England, the Bishops and Sherwoods (the latter family via New Brunswick, Canada) from New York (and just across the line in Washington County, Virginia, the Aylesworths (Rhode Island to Saratoga, New York to Washington County, Virginia), Dentons (New York), and Thompsons (stonemasons from Connecticut). The county also harbored a number of persons from Maryland (such as the Talbot [Talbert], Smallwood, Vermillion, Smallwood, and Poston families [and right across the line in Washington County, Virginia, the McNew, Cawood and Athey families], as well as \"Delaware Swedish \" (Stalcop\/Stolcup). Some German speaking persons might have come via North Carolina such as the Swiss Billetor\/Billeter family (Stokes County, North Carolina). But, of course, it was the Pennsylvania settlers that, by far, dominated the ranks of the early settlers of the county. This likely put the \"Eastern Virginia English\" into a quite small minority although some few families from the Virginia Piedmont did appear in early times, such as the Harris, Thompson, and McGhee families (Louisa Co), the Crenshaw family (Amelia, Nottoway County - originally in St. Martin's Parish, Hanover County, Virginia), and the Ferguson and Lee families (both from Buckingham County, Virginia). In my opinion, the early migration to Smyth County, Virginia indicates a heavy preponderance of settlers from North of Virginia, with Pennsylvania dominance and a unique and fairly sizeable New England and other Middle Atlantic contingents.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn summary, the county was heavily German and Swiss German with a healthy dash of Scottish and some few \"Eastern Virginia English\" having crossed through the water gaps to join the principally Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, New York, and New England early settlers to the county.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThomas Jack Hockett and Donald Helton\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2014\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e107-SMYP\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iberian Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":29532687466614,"sku":"107-SMYP","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/107-smyp-1500px.png?v=1777313623"},{"product_id":"107-sctl90","title":"Smyth County, Virginia 1890 Personal Property Tax Lists","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe loss of the 1890 census has made for some difficulties for the genealogist.

Although most cases involve the Circuit Superior Court of Law and Chancery held at Abingdon, there are also causes which were tried at the District Court of the United States for the Western District of Virginia (held at Wythe Court House) as well as the Supreme Court of Appeals held at Lewisburg, VA (now WV). Most of the cases are \"in chancery\" (suit pending in court of equity) or \"on injunction\" (court order wherein an individual is required to perform or restrained from performing a particular act).

It should here be pointed out that a great number of the early inhabitants listing \"NC\" as place of birth were short-term persons of NC background, coming primarily also from PA to NC and thence to Smyth; a fairly rare, small group of persons coming from the counties in or bordering the Piedmont of NC may have come there from the E. of NC or from VA. Lastly, the minority of persons who crossed the water gaps, deemed frequently \"Eastern Virginia English\" trickled into Smyth, mainly from the Piedmont Counties of Louisa, Amelia, Powhatan, Buckingham, Cumberland et al. Finally, particularly in the St. Clair District, the \"New England Colony\" were a strong and fairly numerous contingent, originating in MA, CT and RI, frequently stopping in Ulster and Westchester Counties, NY and thence to (now) Smyth County.

They are generally an excellent source of genealogical information. More often the LWT is written fairly soon before the death of the testator, but in some cases, quite some years before.

These have generally not been transcribed beyond mentioned the size of the estate, the major composition of the estate and the total, if given (frequently no total is given).

In the case of these sales, I have recorded the names of purchasers, but attempting to only make one mention of each name or form of name (some repeats).
