>From the New Papyrus Publishing Company's On-Line Catalog. This is a great publisher for Genealogy books, by the way. And they are quite cheap. Anyway, we have spoken much about the boundary lines of the old counties that eventually evolved into Bedford/Campbell. Most people think the parent counties were Brunswick and Lunenburg and confine their searches accordingly. This is a mistake. The northern line of old Brunswick and Lunenburg was not the James River. It was a line below the Appomattox extending west to the Blue Ridge. Bedford's northern line was not fixed at the James until early 1755, soon after it's formation in 1754. So, if you are looking for your kin earlier than that, you need to search elsewhere. Especially if they lived in the northern half of what became Bedford/Campbell. Goochland county was formed in 1728 from the western portion of Henrico county. At the time of its creation, Goochland's lands stretched to include all or part of the present counties of Amherst, Appomattox, Albemarle, Bedford, Buckingham, Campbell, Cumberland, Fluvanna, Nelson, and Powhatan. In 1744 the western portion of Goochland was detached to form Albemarle county, and in 1749 Cumberland county was created out of Goochland's lands south of the James. Albemarle county was created on 31 Dec. 1744 from the western portion of Goochland county. At the time of its formation, Albemarle included the territory of the present counties of Amherst, Buckingham, Fluvanna, and Nelson, the southern part of Albemarle, and the northern portions of Appomattox, Bedford, and Campbell counties. The northern parts of present day Bedford and Campbell were detached from Albemarle in 1755 and added to Bedford county. At the same time the northwest portion of present Appomattox was also added to Bedford. Edwin The link for the publisher---http://genealogyresources.org/index.html
