Is there someone who knows all about the change in county lines for
Frederick/Dunmore/Shenandoah counties in Va? Very early records, say 1750s.
I need help with some land deeds I have found. I know my ancestor purchased
land in Frederick Co Va 1762, then it was Dunmore, it was Shenaodoah when he
sold it in 1787.

but now in Dunmore records I have found where he sold some land in 1753, and
it says he was from Augusta Co Va. Says land was surveyed in Dec 1753.
Mentions land where he now lives......and it sounds like the same land near
Woodstock Va - but how could that be Augusta Co?

I need help with when the various counties had court houses where land could
be recorded, etc.

As you can tell, I am very confused right now.
