In  1769 the first of two transfers of territory from Nansemond to Isle  of 
Wight County  took place when all lands west of Chuckatuck Creek went to 
the latter. In 1772  the territory known as Rascow's Neck was also transferred 
to Isle  of Wight  administration.
 
Southampton Co. was formed 20  May 1749  from the southwestern part of Isle 
 of Wight County.  Then in 1785  the lands of Nansemond County,  South of 
the Nottoway  and Blackwater rivers, were cut off and added to Southampton.
