Greensville County Virginia

Map of Va: Greensville CountyGreensville County was formed in 1781 from the eastern part of Brunswick County, with an additional part of Brunswick added to the new county in 1787. The naming of this county is uncertain. One theory is that it was named for Sir Richard Grenville, leader of the settlement on Roanoke Island in 1585, and that the name had been corrupted to "Greensville" by the time of the county's founding. In 1802 Sussex County's lands south of the Three Creeks was also added to Greensville. At that point its boundaries stabilized. An early fire destroyed some of the county's records.
GREENSVILLE COUNTY MARRIAGES, 1781-1853 John Vogt & T. William Kethley, Jr. 1989, xi, 156 pages, indices, appendices, figure, map. Greensville County was established in late 1780 by act of the Virginia legislature, and it began to function as a political unit early in 1781. A total of 1734 marriage records (of which more than 700 include ministers' returns) are contained in this current volume, drawn from original sources and microfilm of original sources in the Virginia State Archives.
