I thought it might be of interest to some who do original research to read part of the main source J. T. McAllister used in his compilation of Bedford officers. The Court Order Books exist, for the most part, from 1754 and have been microfilmed and indexed by the Bedford Circuit Court. Therefore the records are readily accessible for search and copying. About 5 year ago I posted the information below on this website just in case some subscribers would find it useful. By the way, no one asked me to look up the names shown below within the last week !
