Washington County Virginia

Washington County was formed in 1777 from part of Fincastle when the latter was abolished. It is the first locality in the United States known to have been named for George Washington. Within six months of its creation, the eastern boundary was altered for better convenience of those settlers living in the area. Russell County was cut off in 1787, another part of Washington was taken to form Scott County in 1815, and finally a part was cut off in the formation of Smyth County in 1832. In 1974, nine square miles of Washington's territory was annexed to the independent city of Bristol. A fire set by Union troops burned the county courthouse on 15 December 1864. Lost were the county court minute books, 1786-1819, and 1821-1832. Also destroyed were the chancery records for 1777-1835.

SELECTED DEATH RECORDS OF SOUTHWEST VIRGINIANS WHO DIED IN MISSOURI (OR WERE RELATED TO THOSE WHO DIED IN MISSOURI (with additions from Iowa and Sullivan County/East Tennessee) Researched by Thomas Jack Hockett; Abstracted & compiled by by Donald W. Helton. iv,220pp., every-name index (8.25" x 10.75" paperback). These deaths are taken from a variety of sources and methods employed, including "hunt and seek", census, on-line sources at Rootsweb, Ancestry, IGI, Family Genealogy Forums, censuses, etc. and the very valuable Missouri Death Certificates 1912-1958 which are generously available online. These deaths of mid and extreme SW VA people in MO during the subject time likely represent only a fraction of the deaths which could be ferreted out with difficulty employing 2-4 sources (in conjunction) in conjunction. The work represents considerable labor (not to mention eye-strain) and it is hoped it will bolster further the efforts to document the migration of SW VA persons”.

During the process of abstracting and compiling the death records listed herein, instances of conflict occurred between the certificate and additional information found on-line. The information is entered as found. Any such conflicts are left to the discretion of the reader to reconcile.

Six volumes, soft cover, 2010, 8 1/2x11, xxvi, 2339 pages, maiden name index, alphabetic by surname throughout. This is a monumental work covering 334 cemeteries within Washington County's boundaries from their beginnings up to circa 1950 (the first edition covered 289 cemeteries). These six volumes contain, in alphabetical order, all those published surviving interments in Washington County, Virginia listed in cemeteries 1 thru 334 to c1950. The annotations were gathered from various primary records; published works; Bible records; internet resources; family genealogies and secondary research. In using secondary research ... the standard warning applies.... verify these annotations. Headstone names appear as written without regard to conventional spelling. Those women interred under their husband’s name and identified by maiden name on the headstone are listed in this record in a conventional font. If the maiden name is identified by any other source, it will appear in Italic Font in the “Maiden Name”column. An Index to maiden names is provided. Marriage dates are primarily from the W. P. A. microfilm copy of Washington County, Virginia marriage records and may reflect the issue date of the marriage license and not the exact date of marriage. The death registers of Washington & Smyth County, Virginia contains many errors regarding birth dates, death dates and transposed names.
This is an enormous undertaking and it contains additions, corrections and updates for the first edition.Compendia is destined to become the standard reference for Washington County for decades to come.The work is fully annotated from a variety of document sources.

WASHINGTON CO. VA. SELECTED DEATH RECORDS WITH ANNOTATIONS Abstracted by Donald Helton. iv,482pp., every-name index (8.25" x 10.75" paperback). The author has gathered together more than four thousand death records from Washington and surrounding counties, primarily from 1912 to the present. In addition, most of the records carry annotations drawn from a myriad of sources. To best explain how the volume was conceived and grew, we have reproduced the text of the author's foreword below;
Some years back, I became acquainted, thru the wonders of the Internet, with Thomas Jack Hockett. Our ancestors were from the same general area of southwest Virginia. I knew of his folks and he knew of mine. We corresponded via email for several years, asked and answered questions about family history and exchanged information. Then came the death records, more death records, even more death records. I printed them out as they came in and put them in a big notebook. Soon, they were too much for any notebook, eventually numbering more than a thousand pages. Every time I needed a death date.….where did I see it? I knew it was in that pile of records somewhere, but exactly where! These records needed to be put in some kind of order. Thus began the tedious work of sorting, compiling and entering all this information into a word processor. Over a period of several winters, it finally came together, all in one place, sorted by years, listed in alphabetical order, and I even had a index…. Much better! But, many of the records were missing information vital to a researcher. Names of parents, husbands and wives, places of birth, etc. were either not included or could not be read from the microfilm of the death certificate. Quite often, the informant was a neighbor, or someone not of the family volunteering to report the death. Not knowing the answers to questions posed by the recorder, this important information was lost.
Enter Mr. Tom Colley…. Jack and Tom were working together on another project, unrelated to what I was doing, but requiring much of the same information. Jack asked Tom if he might be able to fill in some of the missing data. That question produced a preponderance of information!
Together, we decided it would be very useful to include Tom’s comments along with Jack’s census information in this work. It would be remiss of me not to express my appreciation to all those who contributed to this effort, and especially to Jack and Tom and their assistance in helping bring together a valuable, and I may say, somewhat unique research tool.

WASHINGTON CO. VA. EXECUTION BOOK 1 (1782-1787); JUDGMENT BOOK 1 (1782-1786) Transcribed by Ms. Shelby Ireson Edwards,[originally published 1983, reprinted 2007]. iv, 18 pp.[Executions]; 28pp. [Judgments], every-name index (8.25" x 10.75" paperback).Executions are an important genealogical tool. They have nothing to do as records of capital punishment. Instead, Executiuons list cases sued out or pending in the sheriff's office. They show notices of process, names of the parties, amount of the judgment, date of execution, return date, and sheriff's return. A Judgment docket, on the other hand lists judgments and other liens entered in all courts. It is a register of liens on all owners of property. By comparing the two documents, a great deal of genealogical information can often be obtained. And the period covered by both books is a time when Virginia was in a great transition from wartime to peacetime, and from colonial rule to a new governing system.

WASHINGTON CO. VIRGINIA SURVEYS AND COMMISSIONERS; CERTIFICATES, 1781-1797 Tom Colley. 1999, iv, 405 pages, index. Washington County was created in 1777 from Fincastle County. At the time of its creation, Washington contained the territory for the later counties of Russell (1786), Lee (1793), Scott (1814), Smyth (1832), Wise (1856), and a portion of Dickenson County (1880). The author has carefully abstracted the first surviving land book for this important county, and included all of the significant genealogical and land references. Eighteenth century survey records are quite rare, and this record should add to the sources for genealogical research in southwestern Virginia.
