1782-1843
Richard Dunn
Volume of 548 pages in new condition. Description per the  publisher;
Warwick County, which merged  with the city of Warwick in 1952, was one of Virginia's original shires upon its  creation in 1634. (The name changed from Warwick River County to simply Warwick  County in 1642-1643.) Transcriber Richard Dunn has previously compiled two  volumes on the colonial records of this county (a large base volume and a  32-page supplement), referencing
some  10,000 Warwick County colonists. Dunn’s continuing coverage of the Warwick  records takes the form of this book,
Warwick  County, Virginia, Court Records, 1782-1847, In Transcription
.
For this compilation
Mr.  Dunn examined original records at the Library of Virginia and two special  collections at the Swem Library of the College of William and Mary, namely, the  Virginia Counties collection and the Southall Papers. Arranged by repository and  thereunder chronologically, the entries derive from court records, deeds, wills,  writs, and a variety of miscellaneous records.
While the  contents of the transcribed records vary, the wills and deeds, in particular,  establish relationships between family members and, therefore, are of great  value to Warwick County descendants. In the aggregate, moreover, these  transcriptions identify thousands of additional residents of Warwick County  between 1782 and 1847—with many of their antecedents. Thanks to Richard Dunn's  indefatigable efforts—and the complete name index at the back of the  volume--these heretofore inaccessible ancestors have not only been rescued from  oblivion but are now available to us at the turn of a page.
