I copied a map on the original extent of Cumberland Parish and Lunenburg County which were formed in 1746. As the years progressed the area was subdivided into smaller areas. Here they are by Parish and County as created until 1778. Cumberland Parish 1746 Lunenburg Co. 1746 St. James Parish 1761 Mecklenburg Co. 1765 Atrim Parish 1752 Halifax Co. 1752 Cornwall Parish 1757 Charlotte Co. 1765 Camden Parish 1767 Pittsylvania 1767 Russell Parish 1754 Bedford 1754 Campbell 1787 Patrick Parish 1778 Henry 1777 Franklin 1786 Patrick 1791 Parish records are most valuable as many still exist and their relation to their counties is most important to the family researcher.
