Hello Cousins!

Gayle Austin has began transcribing the first Court Order Book for
Pittsylvania County, VA, 1767. I did an extremely quick run through/word
search for Bird/Byrd/Berd/Burd/Baird/Beard and Choate and Webb (none). The
results are below. The entire document is at the website below. Gayle's
post to another list is appended at the end.

FYI, Helen...lots of Armstrongs (plus Pattersons, Martins, Simmons, etc...)

Best Regards, Janet Hunter
