Historical Information

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

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, however, did not result in loss of records, which were then housed in a separate clerk's office.

Scope and Content

Surry County (Va.) County Court Order and Minutes, 1681, 1718, includes a court order informing William Elliot to pay an obligation to Lawrence Flemings and pages torn from a 1718 county court minute book.

Arrangement

This collection is arranged chronological.
