George Washington, hero of the Revolution, was the master of several hundred slaves. Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, owned more than 200 men, women, and children while eloquently defending the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. In this classic work, originally published in 1976, through a meticulous history of Virginia from its earliest settlement through the seventeenth century boom in tobacco, the gradual replacement of servitude with slavery, and the rise of republican ideology, historian Morgan reveals the deep and interlocking relationship between these seemingly contradictory ideas.--From publisher description.

Four works have been cited so often that I have abbreviated references to them throughout as follows:

Hening

William W. Hening, ed., The Statutes at Large: Being a Collection of All the Laws of Virginia (Richmond, 180923).

RVC

Susan M. Kingsbury, ed., The Records of the Virginia Company of London (Washington, 190635)

VMHB

Virginia Magazine of History and Biography

WMQ

William and Mary Quarterly

I have also used the standard abbreviation for documents in the British Public Record Office, in which the initial letters indicate the group (C.O. for Colonial Office, T. for Treasury, H.C.A. for High Court of Admiralty, etc.). The first number, followed by a slash, indicates the class, the next number the piece, and the final number, preceded by f or ff., the folio number. I have examined most British documents in microfilm, some in the films made by the Virginia Colonial Records Survey, and some in films at the Library of Congress. For the C.O. 5 group, however, I have used the Library of Congress transcripts, made before the present numbering of the folios. Citations to the C.O. 5 series are therefore, in most cases, to the number of the document.

I have cited Virginia county court records by the name of the county and a volume number in Roman numerals. I have used the photostats and microfilms of these records in the Virginia State Library. The volumes as filmed are designated with various titles and sometimes with volume numbers, but the titles and numbers frequently bear no close relationship to the contents or to chronological order. For example, the Norfolk volumes labeled Wills and Deeds contain orders, and the Lancaster volume labeled Orders, No. 1 is not the first extant order book of the county. For convenience I have arbitrarily assigned my own numbers to the volumes I have used, so far as possible placing them in chronological order. These are not all the extant volumes, for I have concentrated on the records of orders rather than on deeds and wills. The numbers I have assigned, it will be noted, do not necessarily correspond to the numbers on the volumes (some of which are numbered and some not).

The following list is of the volumes I have used and the numbers I have assigned them, together with the titles by which they are designated at the State Library. Two of the volumes, Northampton I and Northampton II have been published, and in these two cases my citations are to the published version. Some of the volumes were transcribed in the nineteenth or early twentieth century, and where the original is now illegible my citations are to the transcript.
