New Book !!!
Augusta County, VA, Earliest Will Book Index, 1745-p1900
The
pre-pub cost is $24.50 + $2 shipping fee. The book will retail
for $32.00 after publication.
The Sherman book contains
estate matters such as, wills, codicils, and administrations,
property inventories, appraisals, settlements and sales; but also
random documents pertaining to emancipation of slaves, bonds, liens
and crop loans; guardianships, apprenticeships, indentures, and
marriage agreements and separations; nominations for public office
and military qualifications, promotions and appointments; power
of attorneys, widow relinquishments, recantations, executor
appointments, deed of gifts, trusts, surveys, contracts and
agreements.
Surprise! It's more than just a will index book. It is a
gateway to the collection of Augusta County cultural history and
valuable documentation needed for the many
family histories
that are being researched today. Genealogy has become the number
one hobby in America, and with old Augusta County being so vast,
many will find their roots right here. In addition, I have added
an Appendix Index that includes a list of all name mentioned
within the context of the Will
Book entry.
This published work will allow researchers all over the nation to
have access to these grand Augusta County records. This book will
be available in December, and is available at a pre-publication
price.
