Unfortunately, the original census enumerations of Virginia were destroyed during the War of 1812, but in 1908, when the Bureau of the Census first published the 1790 schedules of the original states, a census of Virginia was reconstructed. This reconstructed census is based on manuscript lists of state enumerations made in the years 1782, 1783, 1784, and 1785; a tax list of Greenbrier County, 1783-1786; and a list of inhabitants and owners of property in the city of Richmond. These were the only documents that could be secured by the U.S. Bureau of the Census in 1908, representing thirty-nine counties .and with the cooperation of the Virginia State Library, this book was published in an attempt to partially reconstruct the 1790 document.  Because of the method used by the Government in collecting the data, information is presented in several ways, but always includes the name of the Head of Family.    There are thousands of names listed, giving a wealth of genealogical knowledge into the citizens of colonial Virginia. The book is near mint condition with no ripping to the pages or cover. A list of the Virginia counties in the book are: AMELIA, CHARLOTTE, CUMBERLAND, FAIRFAX, FLUVANNA, FREDERICK, HALIFAX, HAMPSHIRE, HANOVER, ISLE OF WHITE, MECKLENBURG, MONONGALIA, NEW KENT, NORTHUMBERLAND, ORANGE, PITTSYLVANIA, SURRY, SUSSEX, WARWICK, CITY OF WILLIAMSBURG, AMHERST, CHESTERFIELD, ESSEX, GLOUCESTER, GREENSVILLE, LANCASTER, MIDDLESEX, NANSEMOND, POWHATON, PRINCE EDWARD, PRINCESS ANNE, RICHMOND, SHENANDOAH     This book is an invaluable resource for anyone researching families in early America"   softcover, Heritage Quest 2000, 119 pages, INDEXED BUY-THEM-NOW  !!!!!!!!!  Please understand that each time an item has to be relisted eBay charges additional seller FEES and I will have to increase my original sale price to offset that cost.                                After 31 years of kinfolk hunting I am calling it QUITS.......      I have a ton of BOOKS and FTM CD's on the southern states I will be listing as  I  "get around to it" (I'm old and kinda slow now), SOME with either FREE or LOW shipping, no waiting FIXED PRICE, all buyers get USPS tracking number.  All are single copies and many I  never had the time to use.  These will be a great addition to your personal research library or make a great GIFT to any researcher.   DON'T  LET  SOMEONE  ELSE BEAT YOU TO IT.......
