New River Notes
January 6, 2013
New River Notes, a leading genealogy resource for the New River Valley of North Carolina and Virginia, launched its new look website today.
New River Notes was originally launched in 1998 by Jeffery C. Weaver providing New River Valley researchers with a new wealth of information and that tradition is continued today by the Grayson County, Virginia Heritage Foundation, Inc.
Welcome and we hope you enjoy our new look. For more information on the changes and plans see posts on the GCVHF Google+ Page.
Montgomery County, Virginia
Montgomery County was created from Fincastle County on 31 Dec 1776. (Note that Fincastle County was disbanded at this time and split into Montgomery, Washington, and Kentucky Counties.)
Montgomery lost land to form counties that are now in West Virginia as well as several of the Virginia counties in the New River area.
The Montgomery County courthouse in Christiansburg houses records for Montgomery County and the early records for those areas that were later split from Montgomery. Fincastle records are also stored here.
