County Records
Scope and Contents
Many of the court records are letters requesting payment or judgments enforcing payment by one plaintiff to another. All of them are prior to the Civil War, and many are dated in the first 15 years of the 19th century. Among them is an incomplete 1829 copy of a land grant made in 1795, perhaps in what was then Patrick County.
The voting records of Patrick County are dated 1880 to 1889, and consist of total votes for electors for President and Vice President, State Representatives, Attorney General, Governor, an amendment to the United States Constitution (1882), a Constitutional Convention, Justice of the Peace, and County Officers. Each document contains not only the outcome of each election, but also the number of votes cast for each candidate.
