Stafford County Virginia


Map of Va: Stafford CountyStafford County was formed in 1664 from the upper portion of Westmoreland County. As initially created, it included all of the land from the Potomac River westward to the dividing ridge of the watershed between the Potomac and Rappahannock rivers. Stafford's lands north of Chapawamisck Creek were cut off to create part of Prince William County in 1730. In 1776 the boundaries of Stafford and King George counties were greaty altered so that the dividing line ran from the Potomac River to the Rappahannock River rather than along the watershed ridge line. The lower portion of Stafford became part of King George and the upper half of King George was transferred to Stafford's administration. Many of Stafford's county court records were vandalized by Federal occupation troops during the Civil War.

Stafford was one of the earliest counties in the area known as the Northern Neck, and it was settled under the auspices of Lord Fairfax pursuant to his grant.

STAFFORD COUNTY, VIRGINIA TITHABLES: Quit Rents, Personal Property Taxes and related lists and petitions, 1723-1790 John Vogt & T. William Kethley, Jr. With an introduction by Michael Burgess. "The records in these books are certain to provide genealogical breakthroughs for countless researchers interested in colonial Stafford County....The records in this set are of such a variety and importance that they bear noting here..." [review, The Virginia Genealogical Society Newsletter, Vol. XVI, No. 2, Mar.-Apr. 1990, p.4]. 1990, 2v., xi, 612 pages, index, figures, maps. Stafford County was formed in 1664 from the upper portion of Westmoreland County. As initially created, it included all of the land from the Potomac River westward to the dividing ridge of the Potomac Rappahannock watershed. Stafford's lands north of Chapawamsick Creek were cut off in 1730 to form part of Prince William County. In 1776 a major boundary alteration between Stafford and King George so altered the boundary that the ridgeline no longer served as the dividing line. The lower portion of Stafford became part of King George and the upper half of King George was transferred to Stafford's jurisdiction. A total of 1,917 different surnames are recorded here, representing several thousand individual families. More than fifteen thousand entries are included in the sixty-four pages of triple columned index.

NORTHERN NECK (LAND) WARRANTS & SURVEYS, 1710-1780: DUNMORE, SHENANDOAH, CULPEPER, PRINCE WILLIAM, FAUQUIER & STAFFORD COUNTIES by Peggy Shomo Joyner. 1986, xx, 197 pp., map, illust. Published as the third volume in a series of Northern Neck Warrants & Surveys, this collection has become a standard reference work for researchers in the period of colonial Virginia history for this area.
Contents: Dunmore (pp. 1-26); Shenandoah (pp. 27-40); Culpeper (pp.41-88); Prince William (pp.89-135); Fauquier (pp.137-144); Stafford (pp.145-174); George Washington surveys (pp.175-176); index.

The Northern Neck Proprietary, also called the Fairfax Proprietary, or Fairfax Grant, was a land grant first created by the exiled English King Charles II in 1649 and encompassing all the lands bounded by the Potomac and Rappahannock Rivers in colonial Virginia. This constituted up to 5,200,000 acres of Virginia's Northern Neck and a vast area northwest of it.

The grant became actual in 1660 when Charles was restored to the English throne. By 1719, these lands had been inherited by Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron (1693-1781). By that time the question of the boundaries of the designated lands had also become highly contentious. It was decided in 1746 that a line between the sources of the North Branch of the Potomac and the Rappahannock River (the "Fairfax Line") would constitute the western limit of Lord Fairfax's lands. The early 17th century decade was witnessing a wave of pioneer settlement throughout the region.

To obtain land a person purchased a warrant from the proprietor's agent specifying the precise location of the desired land. The warrant was then given to a surveyor, who surveyed the land. The plat, warrant, and any related papers were returned to the proprietor's office, and if the title was clear, a grant was recorded and then issued. At any point after the warrant was purchased the land could be assigned (sold) to another person, and years could elapse between the purchase of the warrant and the issuance of a grant.

The volume is arranged first by county, then alphabetic by grantee. Please note: The index provided at the end of the volume contains only those persons whose reference occurs outside the alphabetic listing in the volume. It is NOT a complete index of names or places.
