Background

Scope and content:

Voting records, comprising bound voter registers, registration transfer forms, registration oaths, and mail-in ballot forms, document the Cross Keys voting precinct in the Ashby magisterial district in Rockingham County, Virginia. The records appear to exclusively document white voters. A selection of materials concern the Hulvey family and are not obviously related to voting records.

Biographical / historical:

The Cross Keys voting precinct is located in the Ashby magisterial district in Rockingham County. Carl Conger (1885-1957) and R. H. Hulvey (1899-1960), who are both documented in the collection, held leadership positions on the electoral board and were affiliated with the Cross Keys voting precinct. Conger was registrar from approximately the early to mid-1930s.
