"Bath County, in western Virginia, was formed from Augusta, Botetourt, and Greenbrier counties in 1791. It is itself the parent county for part of Alleghany County, Virginia, and Pocahontas County, West Virginia. This work consists of genealogical abstracts of the oldest surviving wills and inventories for Bath County--but that's not all. Interspersed with the inheritance records are abstracts of bonds, powers of attorney, estate settlements, articles of agreement, and other records of genealogical import. In general the will abstracts furnish the name of the testator, his county of residence, the names of witnesses and executors, the date of probate, and the names and relationships to the testator of the heirs to the will. All told, nearly 15,000 early residents of Bath County appear in these pages"--Publisher website (August 2007).

The abstracts of wills and administrations are arranged throughout in more or less chronological order by the name of the deceased. The will records give the name of the testator, names of legatees (often showing relationships), summaries of bequests made in the will, date of the will, date of recording, and the page number of the will book wherein the full will is recorded. The administration records generally provide the dates of inventory and appraisal, names of auditors and appraisers, and references concerning the settlement of the estate. The approximately 2,500 wills and administrations in this work refer to approximately 8,000 persons. Many of the wills furnish evidence of North Carolina connections as well.

Mr. Webb's Sussex County directory is divided into three parts. The first part, comprising fully half the book, gives a historical overview of Sussex County, eminent Sussex pioneers, the establishment of the county courthouse, and so forth. The historical narrative then moves on to each of the county's fourteen townships from Andover through Wantage, delineating milestones, landmarks, and famous episodes in the lives of the townships. Part 2 constitutes the directory itself, which is arranged by township and lists the name of each freeholder, with his village, living in Sussex County at the time of the volume's original publication in 1872. In all, some 5,000 freeholders can be found in the directory.
