Records for Southampton County, VA

[Fairfield]

Today's newsletter of NEHGS includes a link to some records of Southampton County in Virginia: https://www.brantleyassociation.com...EkGdiMOX0FQ&_hsmi=300913301#Court_Order_Books

These records have been presented by a family association (the Brantley Association) but seem to consist of the entire courthouse records. I'm not a Brantley but life membership to this group is only $25; for an additional $25/year gets you a lot more information (but it may just be family genealogy).

I have found a wealth of information on my Virginia ancestors in the late 18th to early 19th century from this site.

A good bit of my family comes from that area, Mainly Black creek. Are you from the county?

No. But I spotted the link and thought that it might be helpful because less-prominent records often contain a lot of information that is missed by major sites.
