The first of these, Dr. L. David ROPER's previous abstracts of the Brunswick, Virginia, deed records is the subject of this post. Some years ago, Dave made a personal investigation of the Brunswick deed records, inspecting the underlying images and making notes as to what he found. These notes have been posted on Dave's page "The Second Century of Ropers in Virginia (1700-1799)" for a number of years, probably more than a decade. Here is what Dave previously collected from his investigation: "Brunswick County deeds for the 1700s: Some records for Rosser have been interpreted as for Roper.
