The county court first met at Pungoteague but it was soon moved to Matomkin, later known as Drummondtown, and since 1893, as Accomac[k].\" This volume contains abstracts of the will and administration records at the old county court house at Accomack and are remarkably complete, naming beneficiaries of estates, relationships to the testator or intestate, and the nature of the inheritance. Special attention has been given to the orders of probate which often give the names of children and heirs not mentioned in the body of the will. A relatively small number of estates are dated in the 1600s; the majority are from the 1700s. Stratton Nottingham was particularly fitted for this work, having a natural taste for antiquarian research, considerable association with and training in the forms of law, and a marked ability in reading the old script in the original volumes of records. This edition has been completely re-typeset from a copy of the original (1931) mimeographed volume, and will therefore contain any errors or omissions which Mr. Nottingham may have made.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStratton Nottingham\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e(1990), 2012, 5.5\" x 8.5\", paper, index, 564 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN: 9781556134050\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e101-N0405\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21970058805366,"sku":"101-N0405","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/101-n0405.png?v=1728591020"},{"product_id":"101-t0135","title":"Marriage Records of Accomack County, Virginia, 1776-1854, Recorded in Bonds, Licenses, and Ministers' Returns","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book makes available (for the first time in one volume) almost 6,000 marriage records, including 145 African-American marriages, recorded between 1776 and 1854 in Accomack County, Virginia. The author has collected all extant marriage bonds on file in the Accomack County Clerk's Office and in the Virginia State Library. She has also included bonds for the years 1831-1841 and 1847-1850 which were abstracted by earlier genealogists from records which have since disappeared. Moreover, she has augmented the bonds with marriages recorded only in the Ministers' Returns. Also included are the eighteen surviving Accomack County marriage records from the colonial period. Each record is alphabetized by the surname of the groom, and contains the name of the wife and date the marriage was recorded. There is a list of sources and their locations, as well as an informative introduction which acquaints the reader with the marriage laws of Accomack County between the years 1776 and 1854. Also included is a maiden name index.

The petitioners wanted local commissioners that would be permitted to hold court on their own. They requested that all business 'be tried as formerly, as when we were a district county.' Approving their request as 'far as I can grant it,' Governor Berkeley appointed Capt. Littleton and Capt.

In the third book of court orders (1671-1673) the county, renamed \"Upper Northampton,\" was placed under the control of commissioners from Northampton County, Accomack's neighbor on the Eastern Shore. In the fourth book, Governor Berkeley considered a 1673 petition requesting that the county be restored and began appointing court commissioners for Accomack County. That January, for the first time in three years, the name \"Upper Northampton\" was discontinued. As the scandals faded into the past, Accomack County settled into a more secure future, with the governor still firmly in control. Beginning in April 1676, and ending in May 1678, the fifth book of court orders documents Accomack County's involvement in Bacon's Rebellion (in which Nathaniel Bacon of Suffolk County took up arms and killed about seventy Indians after they had killed some Englishmen) and furthers our understanding of everyday concerns in the 1670s. The Accomack County Court generally met ten times a year, and remained in session two to three days but sometimes as many as five days. The sessions provided news, entertainment and social interaction for the isolated county inhabitants. Punishment was most often in the form of a fine levied in pounds of tobacco, although sometimes offenders received lashes or were put in the stocks.

Where parties to the suits have left the county, their new addresses are generally given. The abstracts given here are mainly taken from the verdicts which give concise summaries of the declarations and answers, but where there were depositions of unusual interest, or which provided additional information not in the verdicts, they have been abstracted also.

Marriage dates range from 8 July 1852 to 29 December 1895 with certificate return dates from 30 January 1854 to 31 December 1895. The license and return dates sometimes vary quite a bit. For example, a marriage certificate dated 8 July 1852 was returned on 26 April 1854, almost two years after the marriage. This book also contains 322 marriage licenses in the Accomack County Clerk's Office dated from 1 January 1854 to 21 January 1875 that were not included in Marriage Register No. 3. The reason for this is that all marriages were not consistently reported to the County Clerk by local ministers until after the Civil War. There may have been a few that were not reported even after that time. The existence of a marriage license, however, does not assure that the marriage actually took place. There were free African Americans in Accomack County from the time of the earliest records (1632) and they came to be called \"free-negro\" in marriage records. Slavery was prohibited in Federally-occupied Virginia by the new constitution of April 1864, at which time all Accomack County African Americans became free.

Edmund Scarburgh for leadership. The second book of court orders (1666-1670) laid bare the Henry Smith and Col. Scarburgh scandals that rocked the county and apparently contributed to its disbanding. In the third book of court orders (1671-1673) the county, renamed 'Upper Northampton,' was placed under the control of commissioners from Northampton County, Accomack's neighbor on the Eastern Shore. \"By October 1673, when this, the fourth book, begins, Governor Berkeley had considered a petition requesting that the county be restored, and he began appointing court commissioners for Accomack County. That January, for the first time in three years, the name 'Upper Northampton' was discontinued. As the scandals faded into the past, Accomack County settled into a more secure future, with the governor still firmly in control.\" The Accomack County Court generally met ten times a year, and usually remained in session two to three days but sometimes as many as five days. \"The sessions provided news, entertainment and social interaction for the isolated [county] inhabitantsÖOne gets glimpses of real people as they break the Sabbath, commit fornication, speak out in their depositions or quote their neighbors.\" Punishment was most often in the form of a fine levied in pounds of tobacco, although sometimes offenders received lashes or were put in the stocks. In 1674 a ten-by-fifteen-foot jail was built, and the following year saw the first jailbreak.

These early land tax laws required a tax commissioner in each district of a county to record a list of the names of persons owning land or town lots, the quantity of land owned and its value, and the amount of tax owed. By 1813, a brief geographic description (usually citing an adjacent stream, road, or other landmark) was required; in 1814, the distance and direction from the courthouse for each parcel was also added to the tax rolls.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe present work is an alphabetical listing of all 1815 landowners found in each county and independent city, as well as the accompanying description of the location of the said property. We have not included the number of acres, taxes assessed, or any transactions between landowners which may have been noted on the tax rolls; also, in many cases the geographic location was provided as \"adjacent to John Smith\", etc. and, while useful many times to a genealogist, was considered to be beyond the objectives of this project. The reader is encouraged to consider the information here-in as an \"outline\" of early landowners in Virginia rather than a \"text\" due to the year-to-year variation in information provided to the clerk (or recorded by the clerk), omissions, lack of \"identifiers\" to determine if \"same name\" was also \"same person\" within a district or across districts, marginal quality\/clarity (in a few cases) of the microfilm copy, and, not least, errors on the part of either the original clerks or the current author while transcribing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSome of the approaches to utilizing the 1815 landowner information include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eobserve distinct clusters of the same surname within a county in order to clarify the common surnames such as \"Smith\", \"Anderson\", etc;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eidentify non-resident landowners and their county (or state) of residence (these people often being former residents of the current county);\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003edetermine neighbors with different surnames (often being relatives);\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003euse the 1815 information as a \"bridge\" from the 18th and 19th century deed\/will books to the 17th and 18th century land grants\/patents in the county;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eevaluate the 1810 to 1840 census information which generally grouped neighbors;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003esubstitute this information for missing deed\/will books in the \"burned\" counties; and, clarify\/enhance vague deed\/will information in the counties with more complete records.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eFORMAT OF PRESENTATION: Each entry is listed as: Surname, name, personal identifiers (if any); location\/place-name of land; miles\/direction from the 1815 courthouse.

When a landowner had land at more than one location\/place-name, the miles\/direction listing for each parcel is in the same sequence as the location listing (i.e. James RV, Slate CK; 12N, 5SW.).
