Oh, good. I am relieved to hear this. Stafford Co. has always been such a difficult area to research. This will really help.
Thanks for the explanation.
Have their been any other such "finds" and/or returns in the recent past? I shudder to think of all the history that was "pilfered" from our area.

Patti,
Thanks for asking - once conservation of the volume is complete, a copy
and digital scans of the book will be sent on to Barbara Decatur,
Circuit Court clerk for Stafford County.

According to the article, the book is NOT going to Stafford Co, but to
the Library of VA!!!!
Hopefully, a COPY will go to Stafford.
