Louisa County, Virginia on Wikipedia

Governor Patrick Henry lived for some time in Louisa County on Roundabout Creek in 1764.
Henry was being mentored at that time by the Louisa County magnate Thomas J. Johnson the representative of Louisa County in the House of Burgesses.

In 1765, Patrick Henry won his first election to represent Louisa County in the House of Burgesses.

At the end of the eighteenth century and in the early nineteenth century, numerous free mixed-race families migrated together from here to Kentucky, where neighbors began to identify them as Melungeon.

Louisa County, Virginia was created in June 02, 1742 from Hanover County.
