Sorry it's so long - but on the plus side, I'm almost done transcribing what I scanned, so soon I should have after 1800 for everyone :) The following are transcribed by me from LDS film 2167844 = Ministers' returns, 1772-1877 - Shenandoah County (Virginia). Clerk of the County Court - I am by NO means a pro at this, please ask for the scan & decide for yourself if I read it correctly. If I didn’t please let me know so I can change my cheat sheets, or if you just get the scan for your records, you are more than welcome to them. J Oh, yeah and my e key sticks so… just an fyi for anyone researching L and S names – it has been surprisingly hard to decipher which one is which.. Which means I now need to go through books and look for S’s for my LehewsJ Okay – the first 15 images on this film look like they are out of a minister’s notebook – about 2”x4” – the images are faint, I’ve listed the surnames I can guess at so be my guest and try your hand in it.
