This is an excerpt from the Albemarle County Road Orders, by Nathaniel Pawlett, research historian for Virginia DOT. During the summer of 1746 several road orders were issued for roads on the extremity of the giant county Albemarle then was. Although not within the compass of this study they are mentioned here to show the sometimes unlikely places in which information on a given area may lie. One of these was for a road from Beard.s Road .on the Ridge between Appomattox and Willis.s. to Albemarle Court House. Beard.s Road refers to the present Route 636, which runs across the southern part of present Buckingham County on the ridge above the Appomattox River. The next order called for a road from Nicholas Davis.s Plantation at the Blue Ridge Falls to be brought to the Slate River Mountains. Davis was located near Eagle Eyrie in present Bedford County, and this road ran from there across Campbell County, skirting the later site of Lynchburg, to connect with existing roads near the Slate River in present Buckingham County. Although this area was only within Albemarle a few years, that lying in Buckingham from 1744 to 1761, and that in Bedford and Campbell 1744-1754, it is obvious that anyone writing on the early development of these counties, their roads and institutions would have to give close attention to surviving Albemarle records. end quote This is just another indication that much of the northern portion of early Bedford/Campbell was once in old Albemarle/Goochland counties, not Brunswick or Lunenburg.

Does anyone have access to this book? "Sunlight on the Southside," by Landon C. Bell. This book lists the titheables for most of the early years of Lunenburg county. What I would love to see is the map of the various precincts. These tytheables were transcribed later by Thomas Walter Duda, and his transcription is all over the internet. Here for instance-- http://ftp.rootsweb.ancestry.com/pub/usgenweb/va/lunenburg/census/sun002.txt The new transcriber Duda gives a graphical representation of the map of the precincts by using slashes, etc. with his keyboard. This was probably the only way he could reproduce the map to a textual format. I am looking for the actual map, as probably appeared in the original book. I'm guessing this original map would show more detail of Lunenburg that the graphical version shown by the transcriber. Of course, this original map may show no detail at all. I have no way of knowing without seeing the book. Maybe someone could print the map and mail it to me. Or email it if you can reproduce it in that format. Let me know. Thanks, Edwin

Several of us Irvin/Irvine researchers are coming to the Bedford Genealogy Fair in Sept. I think it is Sat. the 13th? I hope to meet some of you there. However, if you know anyone affiliated with the Bedford Museum, tell them to update the banner on their website. They have posted the flyer from 2007, which says Sept. 8th. This has caused much confusion with our group. We have to make hotel reservations and we need a confirmed date. Edwin
