Essential Records of a Key Virginia Orphans Court, Part 2 (1692-1739)

Henrico county (“shire”) of earliest Virginia is key. Hundreds of names are here, and some were part of Jamestowne government. Their descendants moved all over the state and beyond. It’s almost a sure thing you can find your early ancestor here.

Incidentally, Henrico is pronounced Hen-RYE-co.

Many of the people names here are royal gateway ancestors; that is, they descend from European royalty (even if the colonists did not know it), but then migrated to America.

Essential Records of a Key Orphans Court, Part 1 (1677-1690)

Essential means only those records that reveal family relations and marriages and ages of people, and so on.

This post is an abstract of Pauline Pearce Warner’s book, Orphans Court Book 1677-1739 of Henrico Co., Virginia (Tappahonnock, VA: privately published, 1963). She wrote out by hand every word, even in imitation of the old-style penmanship. Charming devotion.

The dates are when the court met. And all of the meetings were in the Varina courthouse.

Real People. Real Places. Real Lives.

The page numbers are in the original manuscript.

I make no effort to sort out family relationships. You can have the fun of doing that!

If you’re in a hurry, use the ctrl-f search, and type in your ancestor’s name. But be careful, for early spelling was inconsistent.

Sometimes words, lines, and even whole pages are missing. The ellipses marks indicate where words are missing or illegible.
