Court
Southampton County has an almost complete and very rich collection of records. The court records consist of Minute Books, Order Books and loose papers. The first two categories are outlined below. The court loose papers have been microfilmed as well and are available in some 30 reels from the Library of Virginia on interlibrary loan.

County Court Minute Books

The original Southampton County Court Minute Books are held at the County Courthouse in Courtland, Va. These records have been reproduced multiple times. The Virginia State Library (now Library of Virginia) microfilmed these records. They were also microfilmed by the Genealogical Society of Utah (now FamilySearch) in 1949 and again in 1985.

The Southampton Project

In 2009 and 2010, in cooperation with Circuit Court Clerk, the Honorable Richard Francis, volunteers of the Brantley Association of America digitized the entire court book collection from 1749 through the early 1880s and recruited volunteers across the nation to index some 57,000 pages involving approximately one million names. It has been named "The Southampton Project" (SoH). All the images and indexes shown below, are fruits from the SoH project and have made been made available online, for free. See how it developed at www.brantleyassociation.com. Acquired files are outlined in the following table:
