Justices of the Peace of Colonial Virginia 1757-1775
Edward Ingle
This book was first published in 1921, following the discovery of previously unknown manuscript records from the period immediately preceding the Revolutionary War. The collection is interesting in its appeal to historian, antiquarian and genealogist because of the obscurity of the manuscript as well as its value as an index of the approximately 2,000 individuals serving in that influential body of men in the Old Dominion known as Justices of the County Courts. In the manuscript are represented, in 253 lists of names, sixty- one counties, the whole number existing in 1775. They were Accomac, Albemarle, Amelia, Amherst, Augusta, Bedford, Berkeley, Botetourt, Brunswick, Buckingham, Caroline, Charles City, Charlotte, Chesterfield, Culpeper, Cumberland, Dinwiddie, Dunmore (subsequently Shenandoah), Elizabeth City, Essex, Fairfax, Fauquier, Fincastle (subsequently Montgomery, Washington and Kentucky), Frederick, Goochland, Gloucester, Halifax, Hampshire, Hanover. Henrico, Isle of Wight, James City, King and Queen, King George, King William, Lancaster, Louisa, Loudoun, Lunenburg, Mecklenburg, Middlesex, Nansemond, New Kent, Norfolk, Northampton, Northumberland, Orange, Pittsylvania, Prince Edward, Prince George, Prince William, Princess Anne, Richmond, Southampton, Spotsylvania, Stafford, Surry, Sussex, Warwick, Westmoreland and York. Softcover, (1921), repr. 2011, Index, 117 pp.
