This book contains abstracts of      wills, inventories, estates, guardianships, and chancery court records for      the four Northern Neck counties of Westmoreland, Richmond, Northumberland,      and Lancaster in northeastern Virginia. The abstracts are organized      alphabetically by the name of the deceased followed by the date the record      was written or ordered, the date the document was probated or recorded, and      the abstract of the record, which might include names and relationships of      family members, names of heirs and beneficiaries, witnesses, bequests,      inventories of estates, and court cases involving money, land, or slaves.
A staggering 20,000 persons are named in these abstracts,      which illuminate family relationships with a higher degree of accuracy than      any comparable set of genealogical records, providing a rock-solid      foundation for building your family history. Along with the index and      bibliography, the book contains appendixes discussing such subjects as      surname variants, nicknames and given names, county families, and slave      names. Besides this rich trove of data, the abstracts are a window on the      times, providing social and historical context for the first quarter of the      nineteenth century, identifying people from both the 1700s and the 1800s.
