The original records of Warwick County have never been transcribed--until now. Thanks to the prodigious efforts of Mr. Richard Dunn and The Jones House Association of Williamsburg, Virginia, however, we are in possession of a meticulously transcribed volume which purports to gather up the crumbling documents of colonial Warwick--some of them from the 1640s--and make them accessible to researchers for the first time. Arranged by repository and thereunder chronologically, the entries derive mostly from court order books, record books, minutes, cattle accounts, and a variety of miscellaneous materials. In the aggregate, the transcriptions do researchers the service of placing upwards of 10,000 Virginia ancestors in Warwick County at a particular moment during the colonial period.
