The original county included lands that were to become Berkeley, Hampshire, Hardy, Jefferson and Morgan in present day WV and in Virginia the counties of Warren, Clarke and parts of Shenandoah. Thus some of the earliest entries- 1744-late 1760's for Frederick might be for lands today found in other counties. In searching the index from which these names were drawn, I was unable to read any of the orginal documents even thjough some were accessible on-line. The copy was too small to read.
