If we don't already have it on microfilm, I'll talk with the clerk there
about getting a grant to reformat that volume to film next spring.

I've been wanting to do it for years myself, but haven't found the book on
microfilm. I don't get to the Fluvanna Court House very often, but maybe one
day!

Actually the Freedmen's Bureau field office records
contain a number of unique registers that are similar
to the one you described. Herbert Gutman analyzed
several black Virginia population records, but there
were others, various lists of freedmen that served a
number of purposes.
Some of the details in these records are amazing,
especially when parents account for all of their
children, living, dead or lost. Perhaps you could
post this to a genealogy list. I'm sure someone out
there would take on the trascription project.
