A cousin recently sent me this website and it may be helpful for those who are trying to transcribe documents written in the 1600s, 1700s and early 1800s. Joyce Old English Handwriting Von Stachon recently transcribed about 600 court records, deeds and wills for several counties in Virginia. She made images of many of the common words found in these old documents, and has prepared a table showing the handwriting with the transcribed word. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/special/oldenglish/oldenglish.htm
