Brunswick County was enlarged by the addition of parts of Surry and Isle of Wight Counties in 1733. The county seat is Lawrenceville. Area: 566.1 square miles. Population: 18,419 (2000), 18,400 (2005 estimate.)\n","Lost Records Locality:  Brunswick County is one of Virginia's Lost Records Localities.

Brunswick County was enlarged by the addition of parts of Surry and Isle of Wight Counties in 1733. The county seat is Lawrenceville. Area: 566.1 square miles. Population: 18,419 (2000), 18,400 (2005 estimate.)\n","Lost Records Locality:  Brunswick County is one of Virginia's Lost Records Localities.

Brunswick County was enlarged by the addition of parts of Surry and Isle of Wight Counties in 1733. The county seat is Lawrenceville. Area: 566.1 square miles.
