Thanks Frankie. I will have to check that out. Do you know how old the
cemeteries would be. The family seems to have left the county around
1797, so I would need really old cemeteries. Can't tell that any of the
children died there, but dad might have.

Hi Theresa and Cheryl,

The Chesterfield County Order Books contain brief entries for *any*
subject
for which people came to court on court days. Also, check out The
Library of
Virginia web page, and go to Chancery under their index. The chancery
cases that
have been given to the library by the various clerks of courts have been

indexed (but some counties, like Powhatan County, still retain these
packets).
Also, Chesterfield County has an extremely active historical society,
with many
volunteers:

<A
HREF="http://www.co.chesterfield.va.us/HistoricalSociety">http://www.co.
chesterfield.va.us/HistoricalSociety</A>

They also have published one cemetery book and are ready to publish a
second
volume.
