Scope and Contents

These two lists were attached to, or inside, an original folder containing this collection of Abstracts of Title. The list that was attached to the outside of the folder is headed “B. D. PEACHY’S ABSTRACTS OF TITLE”; it has twenty-two items. The dates on these Abstracts range from 1916 to 1952. The properties were in James City County, York County, and Williamsburg. The preparers were B. D. Peachy, T. H. Geddy, V. M. Geddy, Frank Armistead, and the firms Hall, Hall & Peachy; Henley, Hall, Hall & Peachy; and T. H. Geddy & Sons. The Charles L. Rogers Estate document is actually a copy of a deed, with notes for a title search attached. A second list, found inside the folder attached to a piece of cardboard, is headed “ABSTRACTS OF TITLE – (too large for file cabinet)”; it contains eleven items. Most of these are in the form of summaries of property records typewritten on the back of stationery sheets. The stationery sheets all indicate an association with Ashton Dovell. Abstracts of Title among the 11 items on this list were prepared by B. D. Peachy, Ashton Dovell, T. H. Geddy, and V. M. Geddy. The dates range from 1921 to 1950. The properties were in James City County, New Kent County, York County, and Williamsburg. All Abstracts noted on both lists were found inside the original folder. The 22 on the first list were filed in the order of the list. The 11 on the second list were filed in front of the 22 and in reverse order of the list. The Abstracts from both lists have been alphabetized in one sequence, and five or six are filed in each of the following folders.
