Background

Scope and content:

Surry County (Va.) Deed and Land Grant, 1753 and 1759. Consists of a land grant to William Allen, 1759 20 Jan.; and a deed from John Cocke to William Lightfoot, 1753 May 15.

Biographical / historical:

Surry County was named for the county of Surrey in England, and was formed from James City County about 1652.

Created in 1652. Order books for 1718–1741 and various other early volumes are fragmentary. Most loose records prior to 1806 are missing. Courthouse fires in 1906 and 1922 did not result in loss of records, however, because at that time records were housed in a separate clerk’s office.

Acquisition information:
