Title

Description

The Rockingham County Entry Book contains information of land surveyed for the incorporation into the county once established. The Entry Book was part of a process in obtaining a land grant from the State of Virginia. Once a warrant had been obtained, an entry was then filed with the Clerk of court, which detailed the specific acreage to be surveyed. The land was then assessed and recorded in an Entry Book, such as this. The survey was then sent to the Virginia State Land Office.
