LANARK COUNTY ORIGINS My ancestors, their friends, neighbours and associates.
Notes:
Dickenson County, formed in 1880 from parts of Buchanan County, Russell County, and Wise County, is Virginia's youngest county. It was named for William J. Dickenson,[3] delegate to the Virginia General Assembly from Russell County, 1859?1861, 1865?1867, and 1877?1882. This formation came as a result of demands from the inhabitants that they be represented by a county government closer to the people. In 1880, Delegate Dickenson sponsored the bill in the House of Delegates to establish Dickenson County as the one-hundredth county in Virginia. Dickenson County has since become known as "Virginia's Baby."
