Historical Information

Giles County was named for William Branch Giles, United States senator from Virginia in 1806 when the county was created. It was formed from Montgomery, Monroe (now in West Virginia), and Tazewell Counties, and parts of Wythe, Monroe, Mercer (now in West Virginia), Craig, and Tazewell Counties were added later.

These records were replevined by the Library of Virginia following the trial entitled Commonwealth of Virginia vs. Larry I. Vass heard in Henrico County Circuit Court in November 1972.

Scope and Content

Giles County (Va.) Court Records, 1813-1855. The collection contains two documents removed from Giles County court records: a decree from the chancery cause Rives and Woods vs. Tyree G. Newbill, etc., 1855; and accounts of John Toney and Saumuel Panewalt, Jr., 1813. The accounts are difficult to read due to water damage.
