Go to Part 1 Go to Part 3 These data, transcriptions of Court Orders from Accomack
County, Virginia, containing some reference to the Warringtons of Accomack,
are the posting of Mr. Harry F. Bell Sr.'s Notes of Accomack County Court
House Documents, as transcribed by this writer.
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.
