A second volume will follow which will continue from 1924 up through 1940. Also included in this volume are newspaper and magazine extracts of deaths that either occurred and were not reported during the period 1853-1896, occurred during the period 1896-1912 when reporting was not required or occurred following the beginning of the statewide collection of data in 1912 and that went unreported. Also included are 32 pages of selected Tazewell County, Virginia death records again taken from microfilm of original death certificates held by the Library of Virginia. This is not a complete record of the Tazewell County deaths for the years included. Many of these are of persons from Russell County. Lastly, included is a section of death records of persons from Russell County or whose parents were from Russell County who died outside the Commonwealth of Virginia, mostly having migrated to other states. These records were collected from a variety of sources, including original death certificates, online death records and indexes. Again, these records are in no way considered complete and the researcher who suspects a death occurred in a certain state but does not find the record in this volume should consult that state's death records before assuming the record does not exist.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThomas Jack Hockett, Anne Bays and Michael A.

I have tried to assemble the testamentary and probate material of Russell County up through 1821. Several courthouse volumes contained early wills; the common practice was to record something in the most convenient place. There is accordingly much overlap and disorder of dates. The lost Will Book 1 covered the period to 1803. Will Book 2, here in its entirety, covered 1803 to 1812 in 276 pages. Will Book 3, also complete here, covered 1812 to 1821 in 362 pages. Will Book 4, 1809-1898, with 96 pages included material from the Superior Court of Law, the Circuit Superior Court of Law and Chancery and Circuit Courts. I have transcribed only the material to 1821 to coincide with the end of Will book 3. Will Book 4a was the successor to Will Book 3, covering 1821 to 1835 in 708 pages.

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.

As the historian and archivist Robert Clay once remarked in a lecture, an individual he was researching in Virginia’s frontier region \"appeared in a random document one morning, fully grown, and disappeared the following morning never to be heard from again.”\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOftentimes, early frontiersmen created few records and left little trace of their passing. Nowhere is this more evident than in the rapidly changing frontier west of the Blue Ridge. Starting with a trickle of settlers, there probably were no more than 160 families residing west of the mountains by 1735. By 1776 and the American Revolution, the number of settlers had grown to tens of thousands, attracted by the rich soils and pasture lands of the Shenandoah Valley and beyond, into Kentucky.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs the new government sought to bring order to the region, parent counties like Augusta and Lunenburg, which originally were little more than artificial lines when first drawn by surveyors in the wilderness, underwent division and subdivision into smaller political units to accomodate the new settlers. The trio of counties on Virginia’s frontier in the early 1740s [Frederick, Augusta, Lunenburg] would be divided and further subdivided over the next seven decades into more than sixty political units.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAuthor Karen Treacy has discovered an enlightening and unexpected record in the bounty system for wolf hunters. 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"}],"url":"https:\/\/heritagebooks.com\/collections\/virginia-russell-county\/virginia-lee-county+virginia-dickenson-county+virginia-franklin-county+virginia-buchanan-county.oembed","provider":"Heritage Books, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
