prefaceIN the year 1720 an Act was passedby the Virginia House of Burgessesauthorizing the formation of a newcounty, to be composed from territory constituting the then countiesof Essex, King William, and Kingand Queen. The new county, whoseboundaries "extended westward tothe river beyond the high mountains "—the Shenandoah—received the name Spotsylvania, inhonor of Alexander Spotswood, Governor of the colonyof Virginia. By the terms of the Act creating it, whichbecame operative the first day of May, 1721, it was madeone parish, called St. George. In the year 1730 thisparish was divided into St. George's and St. Mark's.The latter parish, lying in the upper portion of thecounty, became, in the year 1734, the county of Orange,and contained all that is now Orange, Madison, Culpeper,and Rappahannock counties. In March, 1769-70, St.George's parish was again subdivided, and a new parishwas formed, known as Berkeley, lying within the boundsof Spotsylvania county.The seat of justice of Spotsylvania County was, first,Germanna, the residence of the Governor, but by Act ofAssembly, passed in 1732, it was removed to Fredericksburg. The town of Fredericksburg, named in honor ofPrince Frederick, son of George I I , was founded in 1727,and its records were incorporated with those of thecounty, until the formation of the Corporation Courtsystem in 1782, from which time the two records wereseparate and distinct. After one or two other removals,the court was finally settled at its present site—Spotsylvania Court House.
Virginia County RecordsThe record books of the county have suffered materiallyfrom lack of care by early custodians, constant handling,removals of the court house, and vandalism during the CivilWar. During this latter period they were only preservedby being boxed and buried. The earliest Will Book,covering the period 1722 to 1749, is in an especially badstate of preservation, and the absence of Will Book Cwill be noted. This book, taking in the years from 1759to 1761, was destroyed by the Federal soldiers. I t will befound, however, that the wills, administrators' and guardians' bonds covering the period of the lost book arerecorded at the end of Will Book B, 1749 to 1759, thelast entry in Book B being recorded 7 December, 1761,and the first entry in Book D being also dated 7 December,1761. The loss of Will Book C, therefore, is not irreparable. Again, though there seems to have been no DeedBook I, no records are missing, because Deed Book J beginswhere Book H ended. In view of these circumstances,and since the value of a transcription depends entirelyupon its exactness and conformity with the original, thegreatest care has been taken in the preparation of thisvolume.Many instances have been found in which the surname in one document was written in three, and even infour, different ways. In all such cases the first spellinghas been strictly adhered to. In no instance has anyattempt been made to change or modernize the spellingof proper names.
