Will records are missing in Henrico for the following years: 1634-1676, 1719-17241 1738-17431 1758-1766 and 1770-1773 (thus approximately 40% of Henrico's will records prior to 1800 are lost). Also, a large number of Womacks settled in the early 1700's in that part of Prince George County which became Dinwiddie County in 1752. Dinwiddie records have been completely destroyed, and the records of wills before 1800 for Prince George County have been destroyed for the years 1702-1712, 1729-1786, and 1793-1800.

Note: Some of the terms we come across in wills, deeds, and other documents may lead us in the wrong direction unless we are aware of how the meanings of these terms may have been different in colonial times. Brother / sister - may indicate blood relations, step-brother or sister, church brother or sister. Brother-in-law, sister-in-law, any kinship through marriage; could be a step-child or step-parent, for instance. Cousin, any relative not in the immediate family. Jr. or Sr., this designation did not always imply a father / son relationship, it was used to distinguish individuals with identical names, the term may be dropped if one dies. Mr. / Mrs. / Mistress - Titles of social position; Mrs. was used for both married and unmarried women. Mother / father, could mean in-law. "My now wife" or "my present wife", this was a legal phrase and did not necessarily mean there was a former spouse. Nephew / niece - the Latin "nepos" or "neptis" means grandson or granddaughter, this term may occasionally have this earlier meaning.

Co., Will Book 3, 1792-1810, page 135:
"As daily observation evinces the mortality of mankind as well as the
contentions which too often succeed concerning the effects they leave behind I
have thought proper whilst blessed with the full and perfect enjoyment of my
reason, to dispose of such worldly Estate as God hath blessed me with in the
following manner.
First, I lend unto my belovidg wife Anna during her natural life the tract of
land whereon I now live lying on both sides of Great Guinea Creek with ____,
Grist Mill and Still, also all my slaves stock household & Kitchen
furniture, except the legacies in slaves stock, household & kitchen
furniture hereinafter devised to my children and Grand Daughter Betsey Price.
I give and bequeath to my daughter Betsey after my wifes death all the land I
own on the north side of Great Guinea Creek except the Mill seat, also two
negroes named Ben and Polley, one good Feather Bed and furniture, a young
Sorrel mare and a good side Saddle, also two good Cows & Calves two sows
and pigs and six sheep, also one dozen pewter plates, one dish and two Basins,
one dozen knives and forks to her and her heirs forever.
I give and bequeath unto my Grand daughter Betsey Price two negroes named
Frank and Tamer, one Horse and Saddle, one good feather bed & furniture
and such other furniture as I have given to my children now surviving, to her
and her heirs forever.
I give and bequeath to my daughter Sally Watson four negroes, named Hannah,
Cilia, Abby and Rachel, with their increase to her and her heirs forever. Also
my will and desire is that a bond which I have now in my possession from my
son-in-law William Walton, be hereafter void and of no effect also I give to
my daughter Sally the same Quantity of sheep and hogs already given to my
daughter Betsey.
I give and bequeath to my son Charles after my wifes death the tract of land
that I now reside on the south side of Great Guinea Creek with all the
Appertenances thereunto belonging including my Grist Mill & Still, also
two negroes named Archer & Vilet, also my Will & desire is that my son
Charles shall have the priviledge to settle anywhere or on any part of my land
that he thinks fit on the south side of Great Guinea Creek.
Also my will and desire is that if any of my children should depart this life
without leaving heirs of their body lawfully begotten that the legacy given
them shall return into my Estate and be equally divided among my surviving
children.
My will and desire is that if my Grand Daughter Betsey Price should depart
this life without leaving heirs of her body lawfully begotten that the legacys
given to her return into my Estate and be equally divided among my surviving
children also my will and desire is that my granddaughter Betsey Price be
educated out of the profits of my Estate.
My further Will and desire is that after the death of my wife all the
remaining slaves, stock, household & Kitchen furniture and every part and
parcel of my property, that is not, before given be divided into loggeries as
near of value as possible, and that my children and grand daughter Betsey
Price draw for the same and if either gets a lott more valuable than another
that they refund such a sum as shall make up the others equal thereunto so
that in every respect there be an equal division amongst them or their heirs.
My will and desire is that if the land I have devised to my daughter Betsey
should be so cut down, or otherwise injured that it is worth less than four
hundred pounds of the present currency that the deficiency be made up to my
daughter Betsey, before the last division of my Estate take place.
Lastly I nominate and appoint my beloved wife Anna Womack and my son Charles
Womack my Executrix and Executor of this my last will and testament and my
desire is that my Estate be not appraised, and I do hereby revoke all other
wills made before by me either Verbal or Written, In witness whereof I have
hereunto set my hand and seal this Twenty fifth day of January one thousand
