Historical Information
Keeler and Scott was a blacksmith partnership that conducted business in Dinwiddie County during the mid-nineteenth century. Isaac S. Keeler was one of the partners and was also a lawyer.
The bulk of court records prior to 1865 were stolen, mutilated, and/or destroyed by Union troops who ransacked the courthouse during the last months of the Civil War. Post-1830 volumes such as deed books, will books, chancery order books, and marriage registers exist.
