CHAPTER III.
ACT CREATING, AND FIXING THE BOUNDARY LINES OF TAZEWELL COUNTY, AND SUBSEQUENT CHANGES MADE OF SUCH LINES.
The original Act of the General Assembly of Virginia, author- izing the formation of Tazewell County and fixing the boundaries thereof, was passed at the session of 1799, on December 19th. The boundaries designated therein are as follows: "Beginning on the Kanawha line, which divides Montgomery and Wythe Counties, thence to where said line crosses the top of Brushy Mountain, thence along the top of said mountain to its junction with Garden Moun- tain, thence along the top of said mountain to the Clinch Mountain, thence along the top of said mountain to the head of Cove Creek, a branch of the Maiden Spring Fork of Clinch River, thence a straight line to Mann's Gap in Kent's Ridge, thence North 45° West to the line which divides Kentucky from Virginia, thence along said line to the Kanawha line, and with said line to the place of Beginning."
For a full and complete record of "The Origin and Descent of Tazewell County", the reader is referred to Chapter VI, Pendle- ton's History of Tazewell County, beginning on page 547. Extracts from said chapter:
"On the 19th of December, 1799, the General Assembly passed an act creating the county of Tazewell to be formed from a part of Wythe, and a part of Russell. From the foregoing synopsis of the processes by which Tazewell County came into existence it is easy to trace its civil descent from the first colony planted at James town. The following is the line of descent:
"The Grand Assemblie Holden at James City the 21st of August, 1633," passed an act that divided the Virginia Colony into eight shires, which were to be governed as the shires of England, and named as follows:
"James City, Henrico, Warwick River, Warroskuyoak, Charles City, Elizabeth City, Charles River and Accawmack."
"The Grand Assemblie, holden at James Citty the 2nd of March, 1642-3" passed an act which declared in part: "It is likewise
[ 44 ]

enacted and confirmed that Charles River shall be distinguished by this name (County of York)." This meant that Charles River Shire, created by the act of August 21st, 1633, should thereafter be known as York County, and in this manner York County was created in 1643.
New Kent County was formed from York County in 1654.
King and Queen County was formed from New Kent in 1691, the third year of the reign of William and Mary.
Essex County was formed from a part of (old) Rappahannock in 1692. "Old Rappahannock" having previously been a part of York County.
Thus it is seen that the two counties, King and Queen and Essex, were directly descended from Charles River Shire.
King William County was formed from King and Queen County in 1701.
Spottsylvania was formed from Essex, King and Queen, and King William in 1720.
Orange County was formed from Spottsylvania in 1724.
Augusta County was formed from Orange in 1738.
Botetourt County was formed from Augusta in 1769.
Fincastle County was formed from Botetourt in 1772.
Washington County and Montgomery County were formed from Fincastle in 1776.
Russell County was formed from Washington in 1786.
Wythe County was formed from Montgomery in 1789.
Tazewell County was formed from Wythe and Russell in 1799.
By and through the foregoing detailed processes, covering a period of one hundred and ninety-two years, the great county of Tazewell was generated from the first permanent English settlo- ment made upon the North American Continent".
The boundary lines of the county were changed by subsequent Acts as follows:
An Act, forming Giles County, Acts, 1805-6, p. 49.
An Act, changing Russell County line, Acts 1806-7, p. 3.
An Act, forming Logan County from part of Tazewell, 1823-24, p. 16.
An Act, adding part of County to Wythe and Russell, 1825-26, p. 8.

CHAPTER IV.
LAWS CONCERNING MARRIAGE; COPY OF MARRIAGE RECORDS FROM 1800 TO 1852-3.
Under the law governing marriages existing in 1800 and for many years thereafter, the contracting parties not only had to obtain the license from the Clerk of the County, but the prospective husband was required to execute bond with security, before obtain- ing marriage license. A copy of such proceedings is here given: "Sir
