    •  Notes 
      • This book is a transciption of the Entry Record Book for Pittsylvania County as the county existed in 1770. An entry for land was a statement of intent. Ownership of the land did not occur until it was settle and improved. Many entries were voided because the requirements were not satisfied. The book contains little genealogical information; although, you do find a few clues to families can be found. Even the descriptions of land is very general being based on neighbor names and landmarks that could be anywhere.
