Hi.
Published state indexes of the US Censuses usually contain a map of the
state showing counties in the front of the book. This may not be true of
1790 and 1800 for Virginia because I think that these VA censuses were
destroyed in the War of 1812.

Subject: County maps of Virginia - pre Civil War
Hi Listers,
We get many emails pertaining to many different subjects. The assumption is
that, because of our tax list website, we are experts in many fields of
Virginian history. We are the very first to admit we are not. Below is a
question about maps. We hope someone on this list can answer it. We also
have an interest in this same subject for the time of the 1790 and 1800
censuses: What did Virginian counties look like for these two census years?
Please forgive the cross posting to 3 lists but we believe if an answer can
be found it can be given from someone on one of these three lists !!

Hello,
Can you tell me where I can find online maps showing the pre-Civil War
counties of Virginia?
I imagine that when West Virginia broke away, some of the existing counties
were altered in the process.
For example I had ancestors who were living in Mercer and Summer Counties,
West Virginia in 1870-1880. Were these Virginia counties of the same name in
1850? Are the present-day boundaries those of 1850?
Thank you very much for any help that you might be able to give me on this.
Yours gratefully,
