Accounts current contain records of the appraisement, inventory, accounts current and account sales of estates. They also contain the guardianship accounts and the division of estates. These records do not necessarily mean that the decedent left no will; they are merely a record of the above. The accounts current and guardianship accounts contain mountains of information that often cannot be found elsewhere. They reveal land in another county or state owned by the decedent, lawsuits, wives and children, names of slaves, and names of people owing notes to the estate. The names and occupations of people who provided services are also given: the shoemaker, midwife, attorney, tailor, blacksmith, doctor, etc. The original records are in the courthouse in Pittsylvania County at Chatham, Virginia. The records in this book were transcribed from microfilm and then checked with the original book, which has been copied in its entirety.

Much of the information in these booklets cannot be found anywhere else, which makes the surviving records particularly valuable.

Oftentimes, juniors and seniors are listed adjacent to one another and recorded on the same day. When a taxpayer is noted as \"exempt\", it can be a clue to someone holding a particular position in government or being elderly, infirm, or for some other reason no longer required to pay the tithable tax. Women, both black and white, appear occasionally as heads of households when they own property in their own right or as the widow of a property owner.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnother valuable source for filling in information about an ancestor is the land tax record, and especially the one for 1815.

Additional lists include the names, some with inclusive dates of service, of sheriffs, justices of the peace, members of the House of Delegates, 1776-1928, members of the Senate of Virginia, 1776-1928, clerks of the court, and judges.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaud Carter Clement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e(1929), 2004, 5.5\" x 8.5\", paper, 340 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780806379890\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e102-1040\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GPC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42413306675318,"sku":"102-1040","price":47.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/102-1040.png?v=1755622222"}],"url":"https:\/\/heritagebooks.com\/collections\/virginia-pittsylvania-county\/virginia-lee-county+virginia-patrick-county.oembed","provider":"Heritage Books, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
