Record Loss[edit | edit source]

  • 1869 County court records were destroyed by fire in 1869. One plat book survived the fire along with a few colonial tithe lists and all the Personal Property and Land Tax lists beginning 1782. Some lost wills and deeds were rerecorded later.[4][5]Many newspapers for the period survive and are an important source of genealogical and historical information. One publication has transcribed and indexed over 2,000 articles relating to Buckingham county and her residents. Newspapers.
