This volume is designed to assist the researcher in locating colonial and immigrant ancestors in Charles City County and in that part of Charles City County south of the James River from which Prince George County was formed in 1703. To this end Mrs.Foley abstracted the land records from the fourteen volumes of Patent Books for the hundred-year period 1632-1732, extracting all data falling within the focus of her project. Thus, the main body of the text consists of a chronological series of abstracts giving the name of the Charles City County or Prince George County patentee, the location and acreage of the patent and the date of settlement, with references to family members and owners of adjoining properties, and, most important, the names of the thousands of settlers brought over as headrights.

Early Virginia Families Along The James River,
By Dale N. Goode (Yardley, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Early Virginia Families Along the James River Vol. II, Charles City--Prince George County, Virginia (Paperback)
Lots of family names are listed, but unfortunately only for one County, namely Prince Georges County. Also, the front cover states this book is "Volume II". Where are the other Volumes and what do they contain?. This book was not properly described snd had it been, I would not have ordered it. It will serve some well, but I'm sending it back.

Early Virginia Families Along the James River Vol III,
This review is from: Early Virginia Families Along the James River Vol. II, Charles City--Prince George County, Virginia (Paperback)
Don't bother to order Vol. III. Not much there and no names. Not a book for the genealogist. I didn't know we could return books.Mimi
