Buckingham County

Buckingham County was formed in 1761 from Albemarle County and was probably named either for the English county  of that name or for the Duke of Buckingham. According to some sources, however, the name came from Archibald Cary's tract of land called Buckingham, on what was then Willis's Creek. The county seat (now Buckingham) was first called Maysville. The second courthouse, designed by Thomas Jefferson, was burned in 1869, when many of the records were destroyed. The Clerk of the Circuit Court has birth and death records from 1896 and Marriage, Divorce and Probate Records from 1869.

Parishes: Tillotson.
