Vestry Book of Stratton Major Parish King and Queen County Virginia 1729-1783

More than a half-century ago C. G. Chamberlayne under the sponsorship of the Virginia State Library transcribed edited and indexed a number of original Virginia parish vestry books four of which are reprinted here. While the dates of coverage and lengths of the volumes vary they are nonetheless similar in terms of scope and content. Each volume contains the oldest known records pertaining to that parish in most cases beginning only a few years following the parish's date of formation.
