I believe that the original question about dates covered was directed towards Mr. Pippenger and concerned his new book on Virginia wills, not the dates of the recently discovered lost records of Alabama.

Subject: Re: New Book: Virginia's Lost Wills: An Index
I am sorry Wesley but that is wrong. Before 1800 no one but Native Americans
ived in this area. It was around 1804-6 that the first white people came into
adison Co from southern TN and it was not an approved move. They were not here
egally and thus no records were kept.
The earliest record on these books that I see is 1812. If you will go to this
ite, you will see what records remained in the Probate Court that have been
vailable to the public for years. These are housed in the Madison County Record
oom at the Huntsville Public Library.
This web page is what is availble in the Probate office. http://madisoncountyal.gov/probate/?page_id=76
nything prior to May 1, 1991 will be found in the Madison County Record Room at
he library.
The list of the records that have been or are being returned can be found at
his site.

Deeds begin at 1818
ircuit Court records in 1811
iscellaneous Circuit records do extend into the early 1900s
Almost all of these records are in the 1800s.
The Mississippi Territory was created in 1798. And many of those records can be
ound in Nashville. The state of Mississippi was formed in 1817 and the state
f Alabama in 1819. So these very early years of our area, are priceless to have
he records returned.

The subject new book is now available and is a result of collecting for over
decade of references to "lost" wills. For the study a lost record was
onsidered in two ways: first, as an item from a location where court
ecords have been destroyed, and second for records that are found in
nexpected places-oftentimes far from their point of origin. Also included
re references to abstracts or transcripts of wills found in periodicals.
umerous sources were consulted as detailed on four pages of introductory
otes. Many will references are from chancery suits found in the Library of
irginia's chancery records project and might be also found online at the
ibrary's website. 240 pp., paper, perfect-bound, alphabetical, $35.00
ostpaid. Copies may be ordered from the compiler at the address below.
ibraries may invoice.
