Virginia Counties
67 The "Journal of the House of Delegates", 1832-3, p. 190, gives this date as February 18, 1833, but A (1832-3), p. 44, gives the date as February 8, 1833,-the former, of course, being the correct one.
08 See note 39.

70 The Acts of Assembly, 1814-5, p. 85, give this date as November 24, 1815, and the Acts of the same session, p. 87,-in referring to this act,-says "passed the twenty fourth day of November eighteen hundred and fourteen" (the date written out in full), which latter date is confirmed by the "Journal of the House of Delegates" of that session, p. 88.
71 The "Act for dividing the County of Isle of Wight into two distinct Counties and for other purposes therein mentioned" does not appear in Hening (1748,-vols 5 and 6) either by title or in full text; but reference to Part VI, chapter x, below, will show the full text of this Act, a copy of which was recently secured by the Library from the Public Record Office in London, for use in this connection. It will be noted that Southampton County,- although authorized by an Act passed in 1748,-came into actual existence in 1749,-the former date being the general and more popular interpretation of the earliest actual existence of this county.
72 Upon a suggestion of Mr. William G. Stanard, Secretary of the Virginia Historical Society, and through the generous co-operation of the Hon. George W. Herring, Clerk of the Circuit Court of Stafford County, we are enabled to quote in full the record of the proceedings of the first court of that county, which are to be found in "Stafford Co. Va. Court Book", p. 1, under date of 1664, and thus prove that Stafford was in actual existence at least two years prior to the generally accepted date of 1666:
"At a Court held for the County of Stafford, the 27, May, 1664,
Present: Lt. Colo. Robert Williams, Capt. John Alexander, Mr. Richard Heabeard, Mr. Richard Perfitt, Mr. Richard Fassaker, Justices;
Colo. John Dodman was sworne Sheriff, for this County, for this year as Mr. Secretary Ludwell, signified by his letter to the Court, that it was the Governors pleasure, the said Colonel Dodman having entered into Bond to perform the said Office.
Attorney Bridges was this day sworne Clerk of this County Court by grant of the Honorable Secretary of Virginia.
John Samwaies was this day sworne under Sheriff of this County.
The Court doth order that Capt. John Alexander shall forthwith cresse six men and horse & goe to the Manfattero Indians to see if he can Discover what Indians they were that had Lately committed that Murther above Potomeck.
Let noe will be proved (if any made) nor administcon granted of the Estate of Jacob Porter Deceased unless John Whitston Principal Creditor of the said Deceased be first called-
14th, June 1664 this Coveat was entered:"
73 We are indebted to Doctor Lyon G. Tyler, of Williamsburg, Va., for the following data concerning the early history of Surry County:
"Lands in Surry are shown by the Land Grants to have been in James City County previous to December 6, 1651. Its first justices were appointed in April, as shown by the county records. (See "William and Mary Quarterly", viii, 165). So it was certainly formed at the as- sembly which met at this time, April, 1652."
74 See note 50.
75 The "Journal of the House of Delegates", 1799-1800, p. 32, gives this date as December 20, 1799, while S. ii, p. 217, gives the date as December 19, 1799,- the former, of course, being the correct one.

70 The "Journal of the House of Delegates", 1814-5, p. 105, gives this date as December 3, 1814, while A (1814-5), p. 87, gives this date as December 6, 1814,- the former, of course, being the correct one.
78, ª For full text of this act, see Part VI, chap. i, below.
77 Upper Norfolk County was formed in 1637 (see note 55), but the name was changed to Nanesmond in 1642 (see note 52).
78 The "Journal of the House of Delegates", 1850-1, p. 449, gives this date as March 27, 1851, while A (1850-1), p. 23, gives the date as March 26, 1651,- the former, of course, being the correct one.
7º Warrosquyoake County was formed in 1634 (H. i, p. 224), but the name was changed to Isle of Wight in 1637 (see note 34; H. i, p. 228).
80 The name of Warwick River was changed to Warwick in 1642 /3 (H. i, p. 249).
81 Warwick River County was formed in 1634 (H. i, p. 224), but the name was changed to Warwick in 1642/3 (H. i, p. 249).
82 We are indebted to Doctor Lyon G. Tyler, of Williamsburg, Va., for the following data concerning the early history of Westmoreland County:
"Westmoreland County was formed from Northumberland in July, 1653 (H. i, p. 381)".
83 See note 60.
84 The "Journal of the House of Delegates", 1845-6, pp. 52, 82, as well as the title and the entire text of the enrolled bill itself carry the spelling "Whetsell"; the index to the House Journal for this session carries the spelling "Whetzel", while the A (1845-6), p. 51, and Williams's "Enrolled Bills of the General Assembly of Virginia, 1776-1910" (1911), p. 488, carry the spelling "Wetzel".
85 The "Journal of the House of Delegates", 1798-9, p. 35, gives this date as December 22, 1798, while S. ii, p. 170, gives the date as December 21, 1798,-the former, of course, being the correct one.
86 Yohogania County was formed in 1776 (H. ix, p. 262), but was abolished in 1786 (J. Jan. 6, 1786), by legislation resulting from the fact that "by the extension of the western boundary between the State of Pennsylvania and this commonwealth, the greater part of the County of Yohogania has fallen within the limits of the former, whereby the remainder of the said county is rendered too small and inconsiderable for a separate county", and this small remaining portion was "hereby added to the County of Ohio" (H. xii, p. 114).
87 Yohogania County was formed in 1776 (H. ix, p. 262), but became extinct in 1786 (H. xii, 114).
88 The name of Charles River County was changed to York in 1642 /3 (H. i, p. 249).
PART II. . CHRONOLOGICAL ARRANGEMENT
The Notes are assembled in series at the end of Part I, Alphabetical Arrangement.
In the Chronological Arrangement, the date of the operation of the Act of Assembly has, of course, been the guide, but when several Acts became operative in the same year, the dates of the final passage of these Acts decide the chronology ; while resort has been had to alphabetizing the names when two or more counties came into actual existence in the same year as the result of Acts finally passed on the same date. Striking illustrations of this appear under the years 1777, 1778 and 1786. Kentucky, Montgomery and Washington came into actual existence in 1777 as the result of an Act passed Dec. 7, 1776. Hence these counties appear under this date in the order named. Fluvanna and Powhatan came into actual existence in 1777 as the result of two Acts finally passed on June 3, 1777, and therefore appear in alphabetical order under the latter date. Henry, however, is the first of those listed under 1777, because it came into actual existence that year, and the Act forming it was passed earlier than any of the other three.
The following abbreviations are used in this Part :
A .: Acts of the General Assembly of Virginia, for the session indicated.
E. (superior) : resulted from Virginia legislation, but now extinct, as shown by accompanying limiting dates.
HI. : Hening's "Statutes at Large".
H. B .: "Journals of the House of Burgesses", 1619-1776 (Virginia State Library : 1905-1915).
J .: "Journal of the House" (Burgesses or Delegates, as the case may be), as interpreted in the note on the subject under the "General" section of the Preface.
K. (superior) : resulted from Virginia legislation, but now in Kentucky.
S .: Shepherd's "Statutes at Large" (continuation of Hening).
U. S. Stats .: United States Statutes.
W. (superior) : resulted from Virginia legislation, but now in West Virginia.
