Background

Scope and content:

Dinwiddie County (Va.) Deeds, 1819 and 1825. The collection contains two deeds, as follows: a deed between William Dunn and Elizabeth his wife, of Brunswick County, and Samuel Pryor, 1825 Sept. 26; and a deed between Anne Domini and Allen Archer and Prudence his wife, 1819 Nov. 3.

Biographical / historical:

Dinwiddie County was named for Robert Dinwiddie, lieutenant governor of Virginia from 1751 to 1757, and was formed from Prince George County in 1752.

The bulk of court records prior to 1865 were stolen, mutilated, and/or destroyed by Union troops who ransacked the courthouse during the last months of the Civil War. Post-1830 volumes such as deed books, will books, chancery order books, and marriage registers exist.
