Wills of Isle of Wight County, Virginia
Miscellaneous Abstracts

These abstracts begin with 1800, where Chapman's stopped (See Blanche Adams Chapman's "Wills and Administrations of Isle of Wight County, Virginia, 1647-1800"). You will find some especially strange names here. They are my attempts to decipher 1800's handwriting. Please send me any corrections you have. Where you see an "X" within someone's name, that was used if the person could not write. Only testators and witnesses were required to sign. This is included to help distinguish between people of the same name. You may contact me

here.
