Court Orders are an excellent source of genealogical data for those performing genealogy research. The documents reveal a wealth of information including surnames and other information about the principals and their recorded activities. The documents generally reveal: the identification of the principals and an indication if a principal is alive or deceased; the type of legal suit, action or other transactions that the Court, Principals and Others were involved in; the date and location of the activity and conditions recorded; the names of Principals, Witnesses, Securities, Justices, Jurors, Clerks, and other Court designated individuals involved in assigned orders.

Note: An attempt has been made by this writer to keep the spelling as it appears in Mr. Bell's notes and not as the words, if they existed, would be spelled today. Punctuation is limited in most documents copied, and these transcriptions carry only that punctuation observed or that which was felt necessary for clarity. C.E.W.

Although many of the principals in each of these Court Orders are named Warrington, a wide range of other Accomack and Northampton County's surnames is contained in each recorded order. This should make their reading of interest to those researching surnames of the area.

Note: These Warrington Court Orders, as posted, represent complete transcriptions of those Accomack County Court Orders copied by the late Mr. Harry F. Bell Sr. The Orders have been posted in the chronological order of the Court events and are independent of the previous Warrington Wills posted to this page and the Warrington Deeds in the process of being transcribed. 

The writer hopes that these Warrington et al. postings will be of benefit to the Ghotes and other interested individuals browsing this home page. Ghotes comments and those of other readers are welcome. My very best regards, C. E. Warrington.
