Historical Information

Surry County was formed in 1652 from James City County.

Created in 1652. Deed Book 10 (1835–1838) is missing and order books for 1718–1741 and various other early volumes are fragmentary. Most loose records prior to 1806 are missing. Courthouse fires in 1906 and 1922 did not result in loss of records, however, because at that time records were housed in a separate clerk’s office.

Scope and Content

Surry County (Va.) Records, 1803 consist of a copy of Francis Ruffin's will.
