I have a list of names from Book 27 of the Mixed Probate Records of Pittsylvania County, VA. This covers the time period 1863-1864. Some of these records were practially illegible, but I was usually able to at least verify the name of the person involved. It is basically an index with a few names added in some cases. These are Accounts Current books which have inventories, appraisments, divisions of land, guardian accounts, etc. They are not deeds or wills. I don't have the data from the records. I don't have the "books". If you would like to have a copy of the list you can email me and I will paste it to an email and send it to you. This list will probably be uploaded to the Pittsylvania County home page and to the Archives since other lists have been, if you would rather wait and read it there.
