This book contains abstracts of wills, inventories, estates, guardianships, and chancery court records for the four Northern Neck counties of Westmoreland, Richmond, Northumberland, and Lancaster in northeastern Virginia. The abstracts are organized alphabetically by the name of the deceased followed by the date the record was written or ordered, the date the document was probated or recorded, and the abstract of the record, which might include names and relationships of family members, names of heirs and beneficiaries, witnesses, bequests, inventories of estates, and court cases involving money, land, or slaves.
