BY: George Harrison Stafford King, Pub. 1966, reprinted 2021, 236 pages, Index, soft cover, ISBN #0-89308-580-4 Richmond County was created in 1692 from Old Rappahannock County. This is a very important research tool when working in Richmond County as it contains: Births, Baptisms, Marriages and Death records as recorded in their original order with a complete index.

Richmond County wills are extant only from 1699, but the compiler of this useful work has bridged the gap by substituting information from Order Books, 1692-1699, thereby extending the possibilities for genealogical enquiry. The entries, which consist mainly of abstracts of wills and inventories and refer to about 8,000 persons, are arranged throughout the work in chronological order.

This copiously documented volume sheds new light on one of the earliest families to settle in Virginia, that of Captain William Tucker of London, and on a number of allied families whose progenitors figured in the early history of the Virginia and Maryland colonies.

Traces at nearly a dozen distinct family lines in Virginia, Ohio, Tennessee, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Texas, and includes families with surname spelling variants Bigbee, Bigby, Bigbey, and others. Introduction includes a short essay on the probable origins of the Bigbie name. 172 + v pages, 1200-name personal name index, full footnotes, plus maps, photographs and black and white illustrations.
