The county was named probably for the English county, although it may also have been intended to honor Henry, duke of Gloucester, the third son of King Charles I.  \n","On January 25th, 1814, the General Assembly of Virginia enacted special legislation that established the Gloucester Charity School. According to this legislation, the school's thirteen trustees were mandated to build a schoolhouse to be used for the benefit and education of the poor children of Gloucester County. From the sale of the glebes (church-owned land) of Abingdon, Ware and Petsworth parishes and money from the sale of slaves, the proceeds would provide for the construction of a poorhouse and a work house for paupers--to provide for the county's poor. A steward would be hired by the trustees to oversee the facilities and keep the buildings in good repair. Trustees were also empowered to bind out poor children. As this Act of the Assembly states: \"When the trustees shall certify to the court that the buildings are ready, the laws concerning the overseers of the poor shall stand repeled with respect to the county.\"  All matters regarding the poor would now be handled by the Gloucester Charity School.\n","By 1849, the Charity School was comprised on 30 acres of land called \"the Poorhouse.\" The school was located five miles northwest of the courthouse. The rest of the land, approximately 574 additional acres, was taken care of by short-term lease tenants. The excess funds generated were then used by the school trustees to care for the poor or were loaned out to local citizens who had to post unencumbered real estate as collateral. In August 1867, F. J. Massey, the military commissioner who had oversight of Gloucester County informed the county's court justices of their need to provide for \"the indigent people\" previously entrusted to the care of the Freedmen's Bureau--essentially providing food and clothing to former slaves. Massey's letter was forwarded by the county justices to the trustees of the Gloucester County Charity School, who were instructed to take action.\n","In March 1886, the General Assembly authorized the trustees fo the Gloucester County Charity School to sell the Free School Land. The land was sold at a public auction in October 1886. A new deed of conveyance was written in 1910 conferring the sale of the land. The Gloucester County Charity School, according to the records in possession of the Library of Virginia, operated until 1922. According to information found on a website entiled \" The History of Peasley Middle School\" by James V. Morgan, the legislature turned over all the remaining funds to a newly organized Peasley School Board. The Board called in all outstanding bonds and the money received was transferred to the remaining balance on the Botetourt School Building, now known as the Kenney Building.\n","All records were destroyed by an 1820 fire, and most of the records created after 1820 were destroyed by fire in Richmond on 3 April 1865, where they had been moved for safekeeping during the Civil War.","Gloucester County is one of Virginia's Lost Records Localities.

The county was named probably for the English county, although it may also have been intended to honor Henry, duke of Gloucester, the third son of King Charles I.  \n","On January 25th, 1814, the General Assembly of Virginia enacted special legislation that established the Gloucester Charity School. According to this legislation, the school's thirteen trustees were mandated to build a schoolhouse to be used for the benefit and education of the poor children of Gloucester County. From the sale of the glebes (church-owned land) of Abingdon, Ware and Petsworth parishes and money from the sale of slaves, the proceeds would provide for the construction of a poorhouse and a work house for paupers--to provide for the county's poor. A steward would be hired by the trustees to oversee the facilities and keep the buildings in good repair. Trustees were also empowered to bind out poor children. As this Act of the Assembly states: \"When the trustees shall certify to the court that the buildings are ready, the laws concerning the overseers of the poor shall stand repeled with respect to the county.\"  All matters regarding the poor would now be handled by the Gloucester Charity School.\n","By 1849, the Charity School was comprised on 30 acres of land called \"the Poorhouse.\" The school was located five miles northwest of the courthouse. The rest of the land, approximately 574 additional acres, was taken care of by short-term lease tenants. The excess funds generated were then used by the school trustees to care for the poor or were loaned out to local citizens who had to post unencumbered real estate as collateral. In August 1867, F. J. Massey, the military commissioner who had oversight of Gloucester County informed the county's court justices of their need to provide for \"the indigent people\" previously entrusted to the care of the Freedmen's Bureau--essentially providing food and clothing to former slaves. Massey's letter was forwarded by the county justices to the trustees of the Gloucester County Charity School, who were instructed to take action.\n","In March 1886, the General Assembly authorized the trustees fo the Gloucester County Charity School to sell the Free School Land. The land was sold at a public auction in October 1886. A new deed of conveyance was written in 1910 conferring the sale of the land. The Gloucester County Charity School, according to the records in possession of the Library of Virginia, operated until 1922. According to information found on a website entiled \" The History of Peasley Middle School\" by James V. Morgan, the legislature turned over all the remaining funds to a newly organized Peasley School Board. The Board called in all outstanding bonds and the money received was transferred to the remaining balance on the Botetourt School Building, now known as the Kenney Building.\n","All records were destroyed by an 1820 fire, and most of the records created after 1820 were destroyed by fire in Richmond on 3 April 1865, where they had been moved for safekeeping during the Civil War."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eGloucester County (Va.)

The Commissioners' book is a \"record of orders appointing School Commissioners of Warren County by the Court of the said County and of the proceedings of the said School Commissioners.\" Included in the front of the volume are two loose documents (1845) related to the tuition of poor children in the county. The second series consists of Circuit Court records, March 1863-August 1864. These records include the convening of Grand juries, indictments against various individuals for criminal acts, discussion of court fees paid to various individuals for their public service, a record of summonses issued by the county sheriff for judgments between individuals, reporting of estate settlements and bonds obtained by the administrator and two loyalty oaths from 1861 and 1864.\n","The third series, Military and Pension records, are located amongst the pages of the Salt distribution register. These minutes document the board's ruling on petitions for exemption from military service in the Confederate Army. Most petitions were made on the grounds of permanent bodily infirmity as noted by a physician's certificate or having furnished a substitute. The fourth series contains one specific Tax and Fiscal record, a Salt Distribution Register kept from 1863-1865. The register is found by flipping the volume over and opening the back cover. An important commodity in the Civil War, the register gives detailed records on the distribution of salt throughout the county. The register notes the date of distribution, the name of the head of household, the county district, the number of individuals within the family and the amount paid. In necessary cases, salt was given away free or at a lower cost to families of serving soldiers or widows of soldiers. Free African American families are noted.\n","Use microfilm copy, Warren County (Va.) Reel 46.\n","Library of Virginia\n","Warren County (Va.) Board of Military Exemption.","Warren County (Va.)
