Always good to keep in mind the changing county boundaries, as well as neighbors and associated family names.. Prince George Co. was not formed until 1702/03 from Charles City Co., and adjacent Surry Co. (until about 1753) extended well southward, almost to the NC border. At least the names of the watercourses usually remain intact, and some can even be found in current-day DeLorme map books, which helps in placing ancestors geographically. Here's a link to a good chart of all the VA counties, formation dates and parent counties, for anyone who may find it helpful: http://www.rootsweb.com/~vagenweb/county2.htm - Joyce
