Order books contain records of all matters brought before the court when it was in session and may contain important information not found anywhere else. A wide variety of information is found in order books including appointments of county officials and militia officers, records of legal disputes heard before the county court, appointments of guardians, apprenticeships of children by the overseers of the poor, naturalizations, road orders, and registrations of free Negroes. This volume contains entries taken from Spotsylvania County, Virginia Order Book, 1735-1738, beginning on page 411 and ending on page 542, for courts held September 2, 1735 through April 4, 1738. An index to names and places adds to the value of this work.
