Please pass this along to rootsweb sites where you think some readers/subscribers may be interested. Janice L. Abercrombie, a well-known genealogist-author of Virginia has abstracted a good many Louisa Co. Virginia deeds, and perhaps wills (which I have not yet explored). They -- the abstracts -- can be found currently [let's hope this website is more or less permanent] on this URL _http://trevilians.com/_ (http://trevilians.com/) A good many of Louisa Co. residents settled in Kentucky--and probably in North Carolina, before they came to Kentucky. As one lecturer from Salt Lake City says, If you are studying Virginia, research ALL the counties. I have found that advice to be most helpful. Your ancestors, like mine, migrated here and there.
