The county court first met at Pungoteague but it was soon moved to Matomkin, later known as Drummondtown, and since 1893, as Accomac[k].\" This volume contains abstracts of the will and administration records at the old county court house at Accomack and are remarkably complete, naming beneficiaries of estates, relationships to the testator or intestate, and the nature of the inheritance. Special attention has been given to the orders of probate which often give the names of children and heirs not mentioned in the body of the will. A relatively small number of estates are dated in the 1600s; the majority are from the 1700s. Stratton Nottingham was particularly fitted for this work, having a natural taste for antiquarian research, considerable association with and training in the forms of law, and a marked ability in reading the old script in the original volumes of records.

The Libby population being composed primarily of officers led, for the most part, to an interest in refined diversions. The prisoners formed a debating club, and many had endeavored to educate themselves with classes in French, German, Spanish, Italian, Latin, Greek, fencing, dancing, and military tactics among others.

And Beverly's history, while full of details, really relates to the last years of the seventeenth century and the first years of the eighteenth century. Because of the non-existence of travel memoirs, or extended biographies of prominent citizens or any other obvious sources, the author, to acquire an accurate conception of Virginian social life from 1607 to 1700, examined a large mass of miscellaneous materials primarily concerned with other subjects including the pamphlets preserved in Force's \u003cem\u003eHistorical Tracts\u003c\/em\u003e, Virginian parish registers, and the several hundred volumes of Virginia's county records that had survived to 1907. There are chapters exploring such topics as size and population, the origins of the higher planting class, social distinctions, ties with the mother country, manner of life, hospitality of the people, drinking, dancing, acting, games, horse-racing, hunting, fishing, funerals, weddings, church, court day, muster, dueling and others. There is also an appendix dealing with the non-English settlers and their influence. The author's premise that the most remarkable feature of seventeenth century Virginia social life was its resemblance to the social life of England is explored in great detail throughout.

The country falls into five sections, designated as follows: Western Tidewater Virginia, Upper Bay Counties, Southern Maryland, Eastern Shore of Maryland, and Eastern Shore of Virginia. Each of these five divisions has a separate history.

At each generation, efforts have been made to provide data for researchers interested in going back in time. At any generation where you find a relative, you can go back to that person's parent, and then backward to the very first Hight.

Also included in this most thorough genealogy are extracts from the Albemarle Register (1747-1774) which include names of children christened, with their sponsors or godparents. Although the Register has been printed several times, apparently no one else had investigated the relationship of the sponsors to the christened children. The author has found that these sponsors typically turned out to be aunts or uncles of the christened children and with this information the researcher could glean the maiden names of the children's mothers. In addition to abstracts from the Register, there are others from other pertinent documents as well, including marriage records from Virginia, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Tennessee and also deeds and other documents from the official records of Virginia and Georgia.

As Mr. Creecy searched the loose papers for information which could throw light on obscure matters of kinship, he encountered a significant number of papers reflecting \"local color,\" and thus expanded his search to incorporate such papers. Due to the vast number of papers in the public collection, he had to determine which he felt were the most revealing and therefore worthy of being abstracted for inclusion in this volume.

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\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume contains abstracts taken from Deed Book 1.

Edmund Scarburgh for leadership. The second book of court orders (1666-1670) laid bare the Henry Smith and Col. Scarburgh scandals that rocked the county and apparently contributed to its disbanding. In the third book of court orders (1671-1673) the county, renamed \"Upper Northampton,\" was placed under the control of commissioners from Northampton County, Accomack's neighbor on the Eastern Shore. In the fourth book, Governor Berkeley considered a 1673 petition requesting that the county be restored and began appointing court commissioners for Accomack County. That January, for the first time in three years, the name \"Upper Northampton\" was discontinued. As the scandals faded into the past, Accomack County settled into a more secure future, with the governor still firmly in control. Beginning in April 1676, and ending in May 1678, the fifth book of court orders documents Accomack County's involvement in Bacon's Rebellion (in which Nathaniel Bacon of Suffolk County took up arms and killed about seventy Indians after they had killed some Englishmen) and furthers our understanding of everyday concerns in the 1670s. The Accomack County Court generally met ten times a year, and remained in session two to three days but sometimes as many as five days. The sessions provided news, entertainment and social interaction for the isolated county inhabitants. Punishment was most often in the form of a fine levied in pounds of tobacco, although sometimes offenders received lashes or were put in the stocks.

The bulk of the book is divided into sections devoted to each of the four counties found in West Virginia's pan-handle: Ohio (with a separate section for Wheeling City), Brooke, Marshall and Hancock. The authors have \"endeavored to make the history of each town and village after its organization up to present date complete in itself, without too much recapitulation\" and \"trace the method of the change, in a concise, unpretentious way: how and by whom the wilderness has been changed to the garden, the log cabin to the mansion, the track through the forest and the lone postal rider to the iron rail, fast mail, and electric wire with its lightning messenger,—the wild lands of the red man to the homes and industries of the white.\" The authors have \"garnered from every available source (in many cases a mere sentence only), confining ourselves so far as possible to original material, depending largely upon archives, documents, records, the memories of old settlers, and those whose lives and associations have made them familiar with the subjects portrayed.\" Numerous illustrations of people and places, a map of the Pan Handle, and a map of DeCeloron's expedition augment the narrative.
