County court order books contain records of all matters brought before the court while in session. The information contained in these records may not appear elsewhere. The order books typically provide a synopsis of court cases in a relatively organized format. Records you may find include appointments of local officials and militia officers, records of legal disputes, appointments of guardians for minors, apprenticeships of minors authorized by overseers of the poor, naturalizations, road orders, and the Register of free Negroes. This volume contains entries taken from Spotsylvania County, Virginia Order Books, 1738-1749, beginning on page 392 and ending on page 504, for courts held September 8, 1746 through March 9, 1748/9. An index to names and places adds to the value of this work.
