Culpeper was created in 1749 from Orange County, which in turn was created from Spotsylvania, which was created from Essex. This volume includes the abstracts of Wills from 1770-1791 and the index for book G 1813-1817. Book G is lost, so the index to the original book will help place an individual in the county at a given time frame. The reader will also discover abstracts of Old Miscellaneous Papers 1827-1870 which were discovered in the Clerk s office. Also included are Court Suits from 1815-1839, along with some Tombstone Inscriptions.
