Deed books, you will learn nothing. The original wills and deeds were copied into the official books by the County Clerk (or more likely his deputy), and the originals were returned to the owners. The signatures that you see are simply copies of the original signatures in the Clerk's handwriting. Ann -- Ann Avery Hunter Richmond, Virginia mailto:[email protected]
