Source Notes:

From the preface to Part One of the Westmoreland County, Virginia Order Book 1690-1698 that was abstracted and compiled by John Frederick Dorman in 1962:
"The Order Book 1690-1698 is an original volume. Each entry contained in this book is given in these abstracts, with the exception of continuances of suits which are not mentioned until the final adjudication is recorded. Covering approximately the same period as this Order Book is Deeds & Wills No. 2, 1691-1699, a transcript of 1801 which actually contains but 25 pages of records in 1691 and none thereafter until 1695. Thus, the great majority of deeds and wills mentioned in these court orders are no longer preserved and it is in these orders alone that reference to them can be found."
