Williamsburg History
It's the 1700's
It's the 1700's in Virginia. More land is explored and documented. These maps tell a story about how the Ancestors navigated the Rivers and the Land to form what is now known as Williamsburg, York County and James City County.
When looking for your Ancestors - pay special attention to the year when you are mapping their journey. Place names change over time in History.
We hope these maps clarify and help in your discovery process.
