Deed books typically contain records of land transactions, mortgages, bills of sale, slave manumissions, powers of attorney, and sometimes marriage contracts. Deed books should always be consulted when doing genealogical research. This volume contains records from Essex County, Virginia Deed Book 20, 1733-1738, beginning on page 1 through page 450, for courts held 17 July 1733 through 20 February 1738. Records generally include the full names of all persons involved in the transaction (grantor, grantee, witnesses, and court officials), sum paid, description and location of property, date of transaction and date recorded. An every-name, place and subject index adds to the value of this work.
