Iberian Publishing Company's On-Line Catalog: Loudoun County Virginia
Loudoun County was created on 1 July 1757 from the northwestern portion of Fairfax County lying above Difficult Run. Forty years later, in 1797, a small portion of Loudoun was returned to Fairfax's jurisdiction, and at that time the county reached its present boundaries. The county was named in honor of John Campbell, fourth earl of Loudoun, titular governor of Virginia (1756-1759), and head of the British forces in America, 1756-1758, during the first years of the French and Indian conflict.
The new county lay at the intersection of two major early Indian trails which later became the Leesburg Pike and the Carolina Road. On the western edge of the county, Harper's Ferry marked the beginning of the Virginia portion of the Great Valley Road. Consequently, Loudoun County became a waystation for many settlers who later moved south and west into the new lands opening in the eighteenth century.

N.B.: Numerous queries have asked why bother with printed books when these images are available online for examination. This and other 1810 censuses are transcribed by the author from the original microfilm images, and while many of Virginia's
censuses are available online, they oftentimes are replete with misreadings and omissions. For example, a popular genealogical site which reproduces images (albeit very poor quality compared with the originals) has left off the last twelve folios of data from Loudoun! Caveat emptor!
