Shenandoah Co. VA Land Deed Book CC,493, dated 15 Dec 1823, probated 6 Feb 1824, the couple John LEE & his wife Mary (late Mary HUPP one of the children of John Hupp dec'd) and Sally SNAPP (late Sally Hupp widow of said John Hupp of Frederick Co. VA) selling their interests in a tract containing @476a on east & west side of the North Fork of Shenandoah River in Shenandoah Co. VA to Wm. Steenberger.I have finished my book dealing with Warren Co. VA Land Deeds 1836-1861 for $25.00, e-mail me for more information.
I have started my last big project abtracting records into book form from the original records of Shenandoah Co. VA Land Deed & Wills.
In 1980 Amelia C. Gilbreath published the book "Shenandoah County VA Abstracts of Wills 1772-1850", which I have in my library. Unfortunately, her book only contains the information from the Wills in these estate books, missing all the other documents in this books. Like inventory, estate division, gifts, etc.....So if you have this book it has only a very small part of the information found in the will books. Not a lot of the information found in the wills abtracted in this book.
I am looking for information in connection with my various families that lived in this area of VA.
Also will be posting implied marriages between various surname, that I do not see listed in John Vogt's Marriage Book 1772-1850. Also very interested in showing the time and other locations people removing from this county.
My first book will cover Book AA through HH 1820 to 1830. I hope to find information dealing with my Shipp, Bridges, McKay, Jenkins, Richards and others.
Will also be looking for the names of slaves owned by the above families.
If others have surnames they need information, they should post that information.

Found Book AA,238 dated 11 Sep 1820 probated 11 Sep 1820
Thomas Little living in Cocke Co. TN sold to Sarah DAVIDSON (widow of Josiah Davidson) his 1/5 part of a tract containing 68a with all its appurtenances, situated in Shenandoah Co. VA adjoining the heirs of David Funkhouser,
Said Thomas Little was the half-brother of said Josiah Davidson.
John Vogt's married book has the marriage listed between Josiah Davidson & Sarah BORDEN on 6th Apr 1803. Will not found in Gilbreath's book, he could have died without a will and his estate divided by laws of VA.
I would assume that said Thomas & Josiah's mother married Mr. Little & Mr. Davidson, Vogt's book does not seem to have those marriages listed. The other heirs of said Josiah Davidson not listed. They will perhaps turn up in latter deeds.
I do not see the marriage for Mary Hupp to said John Lee, could be in Frederick Co. VA
The second marriage of said Sally Hupp to Philip Snapp listed in John Vogt's book.
