In colonial Virginia, many counties originally used one combined book for recording both deeds and wills. These books may also contain other documents, such as mortgages, leases, bills of sale, powers of attorney, marriage contracts, manumissions, estate inventories, estate settlements, and other items of genealogical interest. One of the best resources for determining family relationships in genealogy research, these records offer a rich source of names, which may include spouse, children, relatives, witnesses, and/or others. Estate inventories provide a fascinating look at possessions during this time period. This volume contains entries from Lancaster County, Virginia Deed and Will Book, approximately 1661-1666 and 1700-1702. On page 128 of this book is an explanation of how the Records in this book were compiled.
