However, there are compilations of records for Revolutionary War patriots who lived (usually after the war) in the part of Virginia that is now West Virginia.After about 1910 most of the records for the area that became West Virginia were transferred from the state archives of Virginia to the state archives of West Virginia. Many of the Virginia county names from 1780 were changed when these areas became West Virginia, adding further complication to searches for records of a patriot whose service was in the part of Virginia that became West Virginia.
