Amherst County was created from the southwestern portion of Albemarle County in 1761. These wills cover from the very beginning of the county all the way through to 1865. Deeds are one of favorite research tools of the genealogists due to the wide variety of family connections found within them. Not only will the reader find the deed transaction itself, but often times such things as: marriages, relinquishments of dower, divisions of family farms among heirs, remarriages of widows are just a few of the matters you can anticipate finding within records of deeds.
