This is the third in an eight-volume series pertaining to the early genealogy of Surry and Isle of Wight counties. The genealogies trace the various families in a six-generation format that includes all records, documents, and discussions of descent. Each genealogy begins with the immigrant ancestor and traces all descendants, male and female, down to the children of the fifth generation. The other books in the series consist of abstracts or transcriptions of the records of Isle of Wight County.

This volume is a complete verbatim transcription of the only existing 17th-century court order book for Isle of Wight County. The transcription corrects mistakes in previous abstracts, provides a glossary of Latin terms found in the document, and adds a name-location-slave index.
