Located on the eastern tip of Virginia’s Middle Peninsula, Middlesex County was first settled around 1640 and
officially erected in 1669 from Lancaster County. The village of Saluda is the county seat.
Once a major center for wooden boat building, the village of Deltaville remains a commercial and recreational center.
The town of Urbanna remains the county’s largest commercial area.
A few years after 1666, the parish was divided into two parts: Christ Church, Lancaster and Christ Church, Middlesex.
The parish register of the latter, containing the baptisms, marriages, and burials of thousands of communicants during
the years 1653-1812, is reprinted in this book.
Includes several thousand family names. Also includes references to some families from Gloucester and Stratford Major
Parishes.
