    Hampshire County was the first county wholly in the  territory that is now West Virginia. The documents contained in this carefully  compiled work are therefore the earliest records of West Virginia. They consist  of alphabetically arranged abstracts of: (1) deeds, mortgages, leases, and other  instruments from the 1760s to 1800; (2) state censuses of Hampshire County, 1782  and 1784; (3) Revolutionary pensioners in Hampshire County, 1835; (4) marriage  bonds, 1824-28; (5) wills from the 1770s to the 1860s; and (6) early estate  records. The index contains 11,000 entries, with women listed under both maiden  name and married name where known.
