Abstracts of the Wills and Administrations of Accomack County, Virginia, 1800-1860 Barry W Miles

This book starts where Stratton Nottingham left off in his Wills and Administrations of Accomack County, Virginia, 1663-1800. It ends with an administration recorded 30 January 1860 and a will probated 28 January 1861. It also contains a listing of the administrations contained in County Order Book, 1786-1787, which was omitted from Nottingham's book. In addition to the wills and administrations, as contained in Nottingham's book, this compilation also contains brief abstracts of the estate inventories, sales, audits and settlements recorded in the higher court (district, superior and circuit courts) wills, wills and deeds, and wills &c books for the period 1800-1860; and in the lower court (county court) wills &c books for the period 1800 to 1828.
