This is the last 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 contains verbatim transcriptions of the contents of Will & Deed Book 2, including wills, estate inventories and accounts, and Orphans' Court proceedings. Some of these records have never been abstracted before. The documents provide an extraordinarily complete picture of households and possessions in colonial Virginia. The name index refers to as many as 8,000 colonists from Isle of Wight County
