Additional information
by Ruth Sparacio (Author)
Order books contain records of all matters brought before the court when it was in session and may contain important information not found anywhere else. A wide variety of information is found in order books including appointments of county officials and militia officers, records of legal disputes heard before the county court, appointments of guardians, apprenticeships of children by the overseers of the poor, naturalizations, road orders, and registrations of free Negroes. This volume contains entries from Prince William County, Virginia District Court Order Book, 1793 beginning on page 169 and ending on page 334 for courts held at the District Count in Dumfries, Prince William County, Virginia. An index to full names and places adds to the value of this work.
