King George Order Book Circuit Court page 556. (See EE Vol IV No 3 Page 85.

(Barbara Thompson says, Note: "Now we have two Richards? Actually I see four in 1851. One in King George County and three in Pittsylvania County": cbh (EE Vol IV No 3 Page 87), Then in the EE Vol IV No 4, page 99, Ruby Ewart writes and states just three Elkins here! She interprets the Richard of King George Co and the Richard involved with Adam Banks that goes bond for Mary are one and the same. (C Stultz, I believe she is right). Therefore we feel there are just three Richards in 1751 Virginia, as follows:)

1751 King George County, VA

Pittsylvania County (according to Everton's Handy Book for Genealogists, Seventh Edition) was not formed until 1766/7, from Halifax County. Is this an error in the Handy Book? Halifax Co was formed in 1752 from Lunenburg County and Lunenburg in 1746 from Brunswick. cbh) EE Vol IV No 3 Page 87.
