Here is a book that any researcher "MUST" have if he or she is researching in this "BURNED" tidewater county. Hanover County was created in 1721 from New Kent County and in turn the western portion of Hanover County was carved off to give way to Louisa County in 1742. This book should be considered a companion volume to William Cocke's Hanover County VA Chancery Wills as the authors made sure to not duplicate the same material. Information to be found within this book that survived the burning of Richmond in 1865: Deeds. Wills, Inventories, Accounts, Letters, Depositions, Mariages, Obituaries, Estates of Sale, Absentee Land Owners & etc... The two indexes for this volume reference approximately 5,000 persons of the county.
