Dinwiddie County was formed in 1752 from Prince George County.
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.
Wills, 1776, 1820, of Dinwiddie County include copies of the wills of Thomas Ruffin (1776) and Mary Eppes Manlove (1820.)
Originals are located at the Henry E. Huntington Library, San Marino, California.
