This collection of
original manuscript documents, one of the most
important sources of this monograph, is
preserved in the archives of the State and is
divided into as many groups as there were
counties from which the petitions or memorials
originated. The arrangement within the
county groups is with reference to chronology.
Fifteen thousand five hundred documents are
catalogued and arranged in the archives in
upright filing cases, each document being
assigned to a stiff folder, folio size, having
upon it a letter and a number which
distinguishes it from every other document in
the files. The numbers run in two series,
A and B. Series A runs from 1 to 10,000.
Series B is complete from 1 to 5500; and the two
series combined cover the counties from Accomac
to Orange. The county groups from P to Y
inclusive are wrapped separately in bundles,
awaiting the systematic arrangement of the other
county groups. IN most instances double
reference by date and by number has been made in
the footnotes of this monograph to the petitions
that are filed in the cases. Little if any
use had been made up to this time, of this, one
of the richest sources for Virginia history
during the period of the Commonwealth. The
documents contain invaluable information about
almost every subject that was of interest to the
people of the various localities of the State
within the period covered. |
