Hanover County (Va.) Sheriff's Fee Bills, 1787-1794. Local government records collection, Hanover County Court Records. The Library of Virginia, Richmond, Va. 23219.
These items came to the Library of Virginia under the accession number 39018.
Hanover County was formed from New Kent County in 1720.
Most county court records, particularly deeds, wills, and marriage records, were destroyed by fire in Richmond on 3 April 1865, where they had been moved for safekeeping during the Civil War. The circuit court records were not moved to Richmond and were relatively unscathed. Consequently, there is a strong run of common law papers and chancery papers after 1831 that were generated by the circuit superior court of law and chancery and its successor, the circuit court.
Hanover County (Va.) Sheriff's Fee Bills, 1787-1794. Consists of 34 fee bills issued by the Hanover County sheriff from 1787 to 1794.
