With the advent of national franchises and increased commercial development throughout Virginia, fewer and fewer areas are able to maintain their agrarian nature. However, Westmoreland County continues its long tradition of relying on its unique environment for sustenance, with its fertile farmlands and its bountiful rivers and creeks, thus preserving its rural essence.

Fothergill's work improves upon William A. Crozier's efforts for Westmoreland County by including abstracts of wills of one entire volume (1665-77) omitted by Crozier, and extending Crozier's period of coverage (in Virginia County Records, New Series, Vol. I) by six years to 1800. About 8,000 related individuals are mentioned in 1,200 will abstracts, which typically give the name of the decedent, dates of recording and probate, heirs, executors, and, sometimes, the place of residence. Crucial for anyone doing research in Westmoreland County.
