Most county records before 1796 were burned, but some early duplicate tax lists that were sent to Williamsburg have survived. The earliest that I have seen is 1781. The originals are in the Virginia State Library, but they have been microfilmed and can be rented from the LDS Family History Centers. Most microfilm from the Virginia State Library is also available via interlibrary loan for a small fee. Brian Brian D. Core P.O.
