The Accomack County Death Register 1853-1896 is the product of two years of transcribing data from microfilm copies of these records. This work includes the records of 9,349 deaths between the years of 1853 and 1896 except the missing Civil War years. From the original records, the present listings contain not only the name of the deceased but also (when known) the gender and race, the parents' birth and death places, occupations, spouses, and informants with their relationships. This book also contains an index of over 12,000 individuals (besides the deceased). An assortment of other information was also gleaned from the records themselves and included in this work, such as physician names and causes of death. There are several pie charts depicting key sociological data, such as distribution of causes of death, distribution of death age, and other interesting material also provided. 8 1/2"x11". 266 pp.
