Until now, this book has been difficult to use for research due to its lack of an index. We have made an NEW INDEX, that contains the names of approx. 6,000 individuals, specially for this reprint volume. This book should help those who had relatives living in the Eastern portion of the state of Virginia with emphasis around the Chesapeake Bay area. Lancaster County was formed in 1651 from Northumberland and York Counties and in turn, it was divided to create OLD Rappahannock (1656) and Middlesex (1669) counties. Many of these Lancaster families moved to the Northern Neck or other parts of Virginia.

The Huguenot-Anglican Refuge in Virginia is the history of a Huguenot emigrant community established in eight counties along the Rappahannock River of Virginia in 1687, with the arrival of an Anglican-ordained Huguenot minister from Cozes, France named John Bertrand. This Huguenot community, effectively hidden to researchers for more than 300 years, comes to life through the examination of county court records cross-referenced with French Protestant records in England and France. The 261 households and fifty-three indentured servants documented in this study, including a significant group from Bertrand’s hometown of Cozes, comprise a large Huguenot migration to English America and the only one to fully embrace Anglicanism from its inception. In July 1687 a French exile named Durand de Dauphiné published a tract at The Hague outlining the pattern and geography of this migration. The tract included a short list of inducements Virginia officials were offering to attract Huguenot settlers to Rappahannock County. These included access to French preaching by a Huguenot minister who would also serve an established Anglican parish, and the availability of inexpensive land. John Bertrand was the first of five French exile ministers performing this dual track ministry in the Rappahannock region between 1687 and 1767.
