This is the Accomack County, Virginia entry in the series of 1815 Virginia Landowners Booklets. It's an alphabetical listing of all 1815 landowners found in this county, as well as the accompanying description of the location of said property. A helpful resource for Virginia genealogy!

About this series:

In 1782 the General Assembly of Virginia enacted new tax laws which created within each county an enumeration of land and certain personal property. These early land tax laws required a tax commissioner in each district of a county to record a list of the names of persons owning land or town lots, the quantity of land owned and its value, and the amount of tax owed. By 1813, a brief geographic description (usually citing an adjacent stream, road, or other landmark) was required; in 1814, the distance and direction from the courthouse for each parcel was also added to the tax rolls.

The present work is an alphabetical listing of all 1815 landowners found in each county, as well as the accompanying description of the location of the said property. We have not included the number of acres, taxes assessed, or any transactions between landowners which may have been noted on the tax rolls; also, in many cases the geographic location was provided as "adjacent to John Smith", etc. and, while useful many times to a genealogist, was considered to be beyond the objectives of this project. The reader is encouraged to consider the information here-in as an "outline" of early landowners in Virginia rather than a "text" due to the year-to-year variation in information provided to the clerk (or recorded by the clerk), omissions, lack of "identifiers" to determine if "same name" was also "same person" within a district or across districts, marginal quality/clarity (in a few cases) of the microfilm copy, and, not least, errors on the part of either the original clerks or the current author while transcribing.

Some of the approaches to utilizing the 1815 landowner information include:

  • observe distinct clusters of the same surname within a county in order to clarify the common surnames such as "Smith", "Anderson", etc;
  • identify non-resident landowners and their county (or state) of residence (these people often being former residents of the current county);
  • determine neighbors with different surnames (often being relatives);
  • use the 1815 information as a "bridge" from the 18th and 19th century deed/will books to the 17th and 18th century land grants/patents in the county;
  • evaluate the 1810 to 1840 census information which generally grouped neighbors;
  • substitute this information for missing deed/will books in the "burned" counties; and, clarify/enhance vague deed/will information in the counties with more complete records. 

FORMAT OF PRESENTATION: Each entry is listed as: Surname, name, personal identifiers (if any); location/place-name of land; miles/direction from the 1815 courthouse. If multiple owners are listed for a property, the listing is duplicated under each of the owner's surnames (i.e "Smith and Brown" is also listed as "Brown, --see Smith"); when multiple owners share a common surname, the property is only listed once. When a landowner had land at more than one location/place-name, the miles/direction listing for each parcel is in the same sequence as the location listing (i.e. James RV, Slate CK; 12N, 5SW.). In the few cases where a landowner had "many" parcels, the miles/direction notation is attached to the location listing (i.e. Sandy RV- 5NE, Willow CK-7S, etc.)

Not even close to "virtually indestructible" as described.
Within an hour of receiving this K9 Chew Stick, our 55lb Staffordshire Terrier began chewing pieces off the top of toy. Initially, we were happy to see that our dog enjoyed the chew toy, and it appeared to be durable. For the high cost of this toy, it is very disappointing that pieces can start coming off that quickly. Luckily, our dog wasn't swallowing the pieces, which can easily lodge in their intestines. If your dog is NOT an aggressive/determined chewer or they are happy with chewing for very short periods of time, this toy might be okay for them.

Soccer pups
Color: Green-M
This one is a must toy for the pup who loves to chase balls and chew. I bought one for our pup and our daughter's pup. Both have a blast with it and so do the adults. The only improvement I would make is the straps need to be more durable- they haven't frayed which is good for the pup who likes to chew everything, but some have torn. The ball itself has stayed intact though; its fairly bouncy too; which makes for fun times

Great toy:) but doesn't last long
Color: Green-M
This ball was actually really great!. I bought a few different toy balls for our puppy to play with and Aka (our puppy) found this one to be the best. Aka loves carrying things with his mouth. I also think he found it enjoyable, with all the pull tabs, to carry this ball around instead of trying to fit it in his mouth. I waited around 2 weeks to write this since that's how long it took Aka to destroy the ball:) At least it wasn't within the first day. We have a bigger dog an American Bulldog that's about 90lbs and he punctured this ball within the first day but it held up for a little. It's the same as a soccer ball really, not super tough and if you have dogs with big bite forces that are heavy chewers they'll destroy this so fast! But i like the design of this toy and I think it made a great toy while it lasted! It did deflate when it got punctured and held some air for about a week. With constant play it deflated completely after that. It was also the same size as a soccer ball.
