By Alfred Bagby
Published 1908
Fully one-third of this county history is comprised of genealogical sketches and family records compiled from the primary sources of King and
Queen
County
. Bagby ably covers the settlement and development of this tidewater county, which was formed from
New
Kent
County
in 1691 and which today adjoins the counties of Caroline, Essex, Middlesex,
Gloucester
, and King William. War rosters, lists of officials and early settlers, biographical sketches and anecdotes also abound.
King and
Queen
County
was established in 1691 from
New Kent County
. The county is named for
King William III
and
Queen Mary
of
England
. King and
Queen
County
is notable as one of the few counties in the
United States of America
to have recorded a larger population in the 1790 census than in the 2000 one.
