They can contain a wealth of information. Many early settlers owned land. The most sought after title to the land was called Fee Simple, which meant that the land would descend to one's heirs if one died without a will. Land could also be devised by a will or sale by the owner. You can find relationships and names of family members in deeds, not only of immediate family, such as wives, but sometimes also grandchildren. It is not usual to find information on related families. (These names are not often included in the index.) Deeds also state the place of residence. Often a person would move before selling his land. When it was sold, it was recorded in the County where the land was located and listed the person's new place of residence. Often neighbors are listed in deeds. This can be very important, as so many of the early settlers married their neighbors. Their value to the genealogist can not be overstated.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume contains abstracts taken from Deed Book 1. Entries typically contain: the number of the deed book and the page number, the date of the indenture, the name(s) of the grantor and his county of residence, the name of the grantee and his county of residence, the amount paid for the land, the number of acres, a description, and neighbors (if mentioned). Two maps augment the records: the first map gives \"the original layout of Covington found in the deed book\", the other map \"gives a better idea of the changes that took place when the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad came through.\" An explanation of some legal terms and a full-name index complete this work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarsha Martin\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e(1997), 2013, 5.5\" x 8.5\", paper, index, 110 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9781585494309\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e101-M0430\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":772759224336,"sku":"101-M0430","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/101-m0430-1500px.png?v=1777224673"},{"product_id":"101-n0038","title":"Alleghany County, Virginia Marriages, 1822-1872","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book contains a list of marriage records compiled from various original documents pertaining to Alleghany County, which was formed in 1822 from parts of Botetourt, Bath and Monroe Counties, Virginia.

As the title suggests, this book is a study of life in this region in the decades before the Civil War. It reveals \"a fascinating time of carriages, turnpikes, temperance societies and political awakening. To understand the American Civil War, a good study of what caused it is required. Actually, western Virginia started to break away from the eastern portion of the state a lot earlier than the 1850s. The internal rift over the building of turnpikes, canals and railroads ensured bitterness over any slavery issue.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book reveals the development of a business and political elite in society. With business and politics came the reform movements like the idea of organized temperance societies. \"Although the religious revivals in this area did much to bring movements about or even to help rationalize their need, business drove the framework.\" \"Business was politics. Business was taverns and springs, ironworks and roads. Potts' Creek Valley in Alleghany and Monroe Counties has all of these industries. The industries and the men who emerged as the community leaders turned what was a wild frontier into an integral part of American society…\" \"However, this book is not just about business. It's about how people dealt with each other in social situations, such as a simple land dispute, drinking, the vote or spousal abuse…Perhaps it points out why the people of western Virginia are so enlightened.
