Lancaster county was created in 1651 from Northumberland & York counties, VA. It in turn was divided to create Old Rappahannock and Middlesex Counties. Many of these Lancaster families moved to the Northern Neck or other parts of Virginia. Until now, this book has been very difficult to use for the researcher due to its lack of an index. We have made a NEW INDEX, that contains the names of approx. 6,000 individuals, specially for this reprint. This book should help those who had relatives living in the Eastern portion of the State with emphasis around the Chesapeake Bay area.
