===================================================================== Match: Bowles Source: GEN-MAT-15-L@rootsweb.com From: "Helen" <Helenh@pdq.net> Subject: Accomack County, Virginia - See Some Names Certificates and Rights, Accomack County, Virginia, 1663-1709, Stratton Nottingham, 1929, 1997. Out of Print! Softcover, 5-3/8x8-1/4, 91 pages, everyname index, new condition! Per the publisher: "The land certificates and headrights in this volume were abstracted from Accomack County court records, the certificates being granted to persons sponsoring the transportation of men and women into the Colony. These lists are of value in establishing relationships, the approximate time of arrival in the Colony, and the locality in which 3,000 immigrant ancestors settled." As people usually imported relatives or close friends to gain title to land, these are truly records of importance. Because the records are so early, the certificates and headrights may be the first and only place an ancestor is found should the elements, disease, or the Indians get him first. Once their term was served, they may have sold their own land interests and moved on to other locations, but their American beginnings will always remain here.
