Vestry Book of the Upper Parish Nansemond County Virginia 1743-1793

Following the death of Dr. C. G. Chamberlayne the task of transcribing and editing additional volumes of Virginia parish vestry books fell to a number of different scholars. This particular volume which was prepared under the editorship of Wilmer L. Hall and published originally by the Library of Virginia is devoted to Upper Parish Nansemond County. As such it takes on special importance because almost all primary sources relating to colonial Nansemond have perished in various fires.
