Acquisition Information

This item came to the Library of Virginia in a transfer of court records from Dinwiddie County.

 Historical Information

Dinwiddie County was named for Robert Dinwiddie, lieutenant governor of Virginia from 1751 to 1758, 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.

Scope and Content

Dinwiddie County (Va.) Virginia Teacher's Registers, 1901-1905, are teachers' registers from public schools of Rowanty School District in Dinwiddie County.
