Will books of any county usually contain more than just wills and this is certainly true of the Wythe County, Virginia Will Books. There are inventories, wills, settlement and other records that pertain to the last will and testimony of any person. These are abstracted and the names of everyone listed is given in the text with the necessary dates.
