Montgomery County was formed from Fincastle County in 1777. Fincastle's records are contained in the first half each of two volumes. Montgomery County records commence sequentially at the end of Fincastle's records, as the second half of volume 2, 1777-1782, ending with a note \"The minutes from this period until August 1782 are not [ ] this office [ ]\". Volume 3 covers the period 1778-1780. Next we return to the second half of the first volume of Fincastle records, which covers 1785-1788, leaving a gap between 1782 and 1785, and an overlap between 1780 and 1782. Further complicating this picture is the presence of a completely detached portion of a minute book and docket from 1779, located in the archives of the Virginia State Library. Where is the rest of that volume?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this work, the three volumes are given in approximate chronological order, with volume 2 as Part One, volume 3 as Part Two, and volume 1 as part Three. The fourth portion of this work is Additional Material, including the partial minute book\/docket mentioned above, grand jury presentments, warrants and other documents pertaining to some of the cases, and the minutes, from the Draper manuscripts, of a joint session of Montgomery and Botetourt Courts for the trials of suspected Tories.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI have reproduced the original spelling, abbreviations, formatting and tone of the original as best I could, although I have omitted doubled words and added some punctuation and capitalized all personal names in the minute books.

There are very few clues to identify participants in the majority of suits, which are generally styled only by surnames. I have chosen to give only the names of the participants. In some cases, a paragraph of \"boilerplate' accompanies the entry, in more cases there is just a notice of the principals. Rather than transcribe the details of continuances, writs of alias and pluvias capias, pleas, conditional judgments and so forth, I truncated them to a very few details (verdicts in jury trials, judgments involving property rather than money, points of law).

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. If multiple owners are listed for a property, the listing is duplicated under each of the owner's surnames (i.e \"Smith and Brown\" is also listed as \"Brown, --see Smith\"); when multiple owners share a common surname, the property is only listed once. 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.). In the few cases where a landowner had \"many\" parcels, the miles\/direction notation is attached to the location listing (i.e. Sandy RV- 5NE, Willow CK-7S, etc.)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoger G.

Much of this was requisitioned from the civilian population and certificates were issued payable in either continental or state funds, depending on the units supplied, upon presentation to court authorities. Thousands of these certificates issued to Virginians were duly entered by the courts, and they provide a fascinating insight into the period of the Revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThese \"Publick\" Claims booklets contain interesting and useful information about the contributions of ordinary people to the Revolutionary War. They provide some details of people's service in the militia or as guards for prisoners of war; they indicate where some bodies of troops were at particular times; and they identify providers of horses, wagons, cattle, grain, or other supplies. Much of the information in these booklets cannot be found anywhere else, which makes the surviving records particularly valuable. Also remarkable is the fact that records survived from virtually every county in the state at that time with the exception of the newly formed Kentucky counties. This makes the collection even more valuable in covering areas which heretofore in this time period have suffered from a lack of personal data. The \"Virginia Publick Claims\" are published by counties.

Early farmers and herders sought legislative relief from the scourge of wolf packs. The Virginia legislature responded by establishing the bounty system. In a time when an average laborer’s earning was $6-10\/month, the $1 to $6 or 100# tobacco from a wolf scalp (depending on the currency and inflation of the time) was an attractive economic draw for every class of frontiersman, even those constantly moving folk mentioned by Clay.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is an important record not only for the two and a half thousand individuals cited but also for a valuable historical window into the activities and growth of Virginia’s frontier society.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKaren Wagner Teacy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2025, 8.5\" x 11, paper, index, 169 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e107-WOLF\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iberian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42422935847030,"sku":"107-WOLF","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/107-wolf.png?v=1755622255"},{"product_id":"101-va034","title":"Magazine of Virginia Genealogy, Volume 34, Issues 1, 2, 3, index, 1996","description":"\u003cp\u003eArticles included:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHenrico County Record Book No. 2, 1678-1693\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLunenburg County Insolvents, 1769\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrince Edward County Tithables, 1773\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePayroll of Capt.
