Prince Edward County, Virginia was formed in 1754 from Amelia County. The court record indexes are generally about plantiffs and defendants in court cases. Womacks were mentioned in other scenarios, but I did nor try to read all the court records to find them.
Note that I was specifically looking for Womack and Blanton.
