These organizations were comprised of local residents who were frequently called upon to put down Indian attacks or slave uprisings. At the outset of the Revolution, these largely untrained militia regiments were swept into a larger organizational structure and pitted against some of England's finest soldiers. By nothing less than a miracle, the Americans succeeded in defeating troops who were far better trained and outfitted. The county militias continued to play an active role during the War of 1812 and later, when slave uprisings became of grave concern. Many of the men who served in Stafford's militia during the years immediately preceding the War Between the States were willing to fight to defend their soil from a new enemy. By this time, the importance of having well trained soldiers had become obvious. After the war, the Stafford's 45th Regiment was not re-established and faded into obscurity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA substantial collection of Stafford County's militia records are housed at the Library of Virginia in Richmond. These span the years 1781-1856 and are nearly complete for most of those years. These reports included the names of officers and rosters of the names of men who failed to appear at one or more of the required summer monthly musters.

Sources include wills, deeds, court and tax records, minutes of the House of Burgesses and the Council of Colonial Virginia, census figures, maps, church and cemetery records, business ledgers, insurance policies, contemporary newspaper accounts, letters, diaries and personal interviews.

For nearly a century, iron manufacturing dominated the economic, social, and political fabric of Stafford County, Virginia. In the mid-1720s Principio Iron Company, the eighteenth- century leader in American iron production, built a charcoal-fired blast furnace on Accokeek Run in Stafford. Accokeek's furnace and store served customers within a six-county region. Employment opportunities at the furnace created a diversified economy and encouraged people from all walks of life to settle there. The late 1750s witnessed the creation of James Hunter's Iron Works near Falmouth. Originally intended as a forge and multi-purpose milling facility, this operation quickly grew to be the New World's largest manufacturing center, producing a wide variety of consumer goods as well as quantities of weapons and supplies for Continental troops. Until now, little serious research has been conducted on these two important facilities. The roles they played in eighteenth-century Virginia have been overlooked or underestimated. In addition to exploring the scope of each business and its impact upon the region in which it existed, the author has identified hundreds of people involved with or employed by Accokeek Furnace and Rappahannock Forge. The only known surviving business ledger from Accokeek Furnace is included as a CD-ROM in the back of the volume.

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.

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.

Data are presented in sequence as found on the microfilm, including small numbers in pencil at the bottom of each pair of pages.

From 1782, one will find two lists per year, which later typically represent two districts in the county. The earliest list in Stafford contains the name of the proprietors of the land (as the person taxed), the number of acres owned, the rate of value from which taxation was calculated, and the total tax assessed. For the years 1784 through 1786 only alterations were made to the 1783 and subsequent lists. The next list of alterations in Stafford is in 1792.
