The Library of Virginia sent Henry County, VA microfilm to my library, through a interlibrary system.
I only pay for returning the microfilm, which is only a few dollars.
It is alot cheaper than traveling there.
I get to use the microfilm at my library for about 4 weeks, before it is return.
No thanks is necessary whether you can use this information or not.
NOTE:During this period, the women died young, so you will find a man marrying again. (One reason: for bearing so many children and lack of medical care.)
