As a clarification to the post below - Appomattox County was formed in 1845 from Buckingham County. While the primary land mass of Appomattox County consisted of land formerly in Buckingham, segments of land were taken from Prince Edward, Charlotte and Campbell Counties to form Appomattox County. Our Lunenburg County ancestors did not go directly from Lunenburg to Appomattox. As posted before, the division of Lunenburg County is as follows, remembering that, when counties divided, almost all of the records remained in the ORIGINAL county: 1634 - Charles City County is formed - an original shire 1703 - Prince George County is formed from Charles City 1732 - Brunswick County is formed from Prince George 1746 - Lunenburg County is formed from Brunswick 1752 - Halifax County is formed from Lunenburg. Eventually, Halifax will be divided into Pittsylvania (1767), Henry (1777) and Patrick (1791) Counties. 1754 - Bedford County is formed from Lunenburg. Eventually, Bedford will be divided into Campbell (1782) and Franklin (1786) Counties. To form Franklin County, some territory will be taken from Henry County. 1765 - Charlotte and Mecklenburg Counties are formed from Lunenburg 1845 - Appomattox County is formed from Buckingham County. Some territory is taken from Prince Edward, from Charlotte, and from Campbell On Thu, 28 Jan 1999 22:55:38 -0500 Jane Matherly <jmather@swva.net> writes: >At this time from 1748, 1749, 1750 ad 1751 Lnenbery embraced an area ow in >11 counties: > Lunenburg > Mecklenburg > Charlotte > Halifax > Pittsylvania > Henry > Patrick > Franklin > Campbell > Bedford > Appomattox >I found this info from the List of tithes of Luenenbur Co from "Sunlight On >the Southside" Part 1 transcribed by Thomas Walter Duda at the following site: >ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/va/lunenburg/tax lists/sun001.txt >This may be why we are all having troubles finding relatives where we >thught they would be. > Jane ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
