Henrico County (Va.) Record of Convicts, 1870-1944, is a comprehensive register of "every person convicted in the County Court or other Court of Record of Henrico County, of Felony, or other infamous offence." Based on a form, the listings of each conviction include the individual's name in full and any aliases, the present and last known residence of the accused, the color or race of the individual (including white, black or colored, brown and mulatto), the individual's height, eye color, hair color and any identifying marks, the apparent or known age of the accused, his or her occupation, the offence, the court in which convicted, the date of conviction and page of record and whether the judgment was reversed or pardon granted and date thereof. There is an internal index to the volume. The index is arranged alphabetically by the surname of the convict, A-Z and notes the race of the individual in parentheses. Instead of a court conviction, sometimes an individual was convicted by a Justice of the Peace.
