Finding
a birth record for someone in 1866 is considered lucky, even in Virginia. The
earliest birth records in Virginia were in 1853, but statewide registration
didn't start until 1912. This birth record is from Grayson County where
the commissioner of the revenue registered the births and then turned over his
books to the clerk of the County Court. The entry for James Winton Rhudy
shows "Ja W RHUDY was born May 10, 1866 to S.F. & Thursy RHUDY in
Grayson Co.,Virginia."[1]
