Wills in Pittsylvania County, Virginia were originally included in Deed Books. In 1814, the county separated wills from deeds and created "Will Book #1." This publication contains all will information copied from this ledger. Although the starting point of Will Book #1 is 1820, many of the wills were filed prior to 1820. Each entry contains a synopsis of will information and includes name of deceased and heir(s). Of utmost importance is the Will Record Number. Once this number is known, the researcher can write Pittsylvania county and obtain a photocopy of the full will transcript.
