Order books contain records of all matters brought before the court when it was in session and may contain important information not found anywhere else. A wide variety of information is found in order books including appointments of county officials and militia officers, records of legal disputes heard before the county court, appointments of guardians, apprenticeships of children by the overseers of the poor, naturalizations, road orders, and registrations of free Negroes. This volume contains entries from Loudoun County, Virginia Order Book B, 1762-1765 beginning on page 60 and ending on page 197 for courts held 16 September 1762 through 9 August 1763. An index to full names and places adds to the value of this work.
