These court records show the property used by the patriots during the American Revolution with the valuation of that property given. These records show service during the War for those who need proof. Greensville County was established in 1781 from Brunswick County. The county is probably named for Sir Richard Grenville, leader of the settlement on Roanoke Island 1585. There is also belief that it may be named after Nathaniel Greene, a Major General of the Continental Army and one of George Washington's brightest officers.
