Deed books typically contain records of land transactions, mortgages, bills of sale, slave manumissions, powers of attorney, and sometimes marriage contracts. Deed books should always be consulted when doing genealogical research. This volume contains records from Essex County, Virginia Deed Book 26, 1752-1754, beginning on page 1 through page 334, for courts held 21 April 1752 through 16 October 1753. "The beginning of this book contains the remainder of Essex County, Virginia Deed Book No. 25, 1749-1752." The records in this section begin on page 274a through page 321, for courts held 7 June 1752 through 9 December 1752. Records generally include the full names of all persons involved in the transaction (grantor, grantee, witnesses, and court officials), sum paid, description and location of property, date of transaction and date recorded. An every-name, place and subject index adds to the value of this work.
