Various Legal Records of Deeds, Wills, Property Transfers, etc. from Estates of James Warren, Sr. & Mathew & Elizabeth (Betsy/Betty) Warren Whittle  :

Amherst Co., Virginia was created from Albemarle Co in 1761 which was created from Goochland Co in 1744 which was created from Henrico Co in 1728. Henrico was an original Co. created in 1634. These and others, including Louisa Co., were all located in the tidewater area of Virginia and are confusing because records are inconsistent in referring to current names vs. names of parent counties. Matthew Whittle married Elizabeth (Betsy) Warren before 1747 when land records show them as selling land in Albemarle Co., which included Amherst Co. until 1761. Other documentation from that era is very difficult, as the Amherst County Court House was reduced to embers by fire about 1789. Most records, except land records, were reduced to ashes.

This land lay in present day Albemarle Co., somewhere north of Charlottesville. Charles Caffry (m.
