A genealogist on old Virginia records... "Most unfortunately the older county records in Virginia, consisting of wills, deeds, etc., are in a deplorable state. Those which escaped the depredations of the British soldiers during the War of the Revolution were depleted by Federal soldiers during the Civil War. Early church registers, showing marriages, births, baptisms, and deaths, shared the same fate. The returns for Virginia and Kentucky, and several other states, at the Federal census of 1790, and also that of 1800, were destroyed when the British troops burned the National Capitol, 24 August, 1814."
