Publisher's Synopsis
Will books are one of the best resources for determining family relationships in genealogy research. This volume contains entries from Essex County Will Book No. 7 (1743-1747), beginning on page 1 and ending on page 322/323 for courts held 17 May 1743 through 19 March 1744. "N.B. Essex County Will Book 1743-1747 contains 533 pages. Pages 324 through 533 will be found in our following book, Will Abstracts of Essex County, Virginia 1745-1747." In addition to the full name of the deceased, these records offer a rich source of names, which may include spouse, children, relatives, witnesses, and/or others. Estate inventories provide a fascinating look at possessions during this time period. An every-name and place index adds to the value of this work.
