Isle of Wight, Virginia

Discoveries in the Isle of Wight

So, yesterday I continued my search using the Virginia, Isle of Wight County Records, 1634-1951 and found in the early records some Franklin County, North Carolina names. The pages listed are the image pages not the actual page numbers in the book. Not sure the actual connections but it gives me a starting place. I went page by page reading the index entries. It took a bit of time but after these discoveries it appears to have been time well spent.
