This book should help those who had relatives living in the Eastern portion of the state of Virginia with emphasis around the Chesapeake Bay area. Lancaster County was formed in 1651 from Northumberland and York Counties and in turn, it was divided to create OLD Rappahannock (1656) and Middlesex (1669) counties. Many of these Lancaster families moved to the Northern Neck or other parts of Virginia.
