One of my favorite sources for this county is the book {{FSC|379725|title-id|disp=King George County, Virginia, Death Records 1853-1896}}, written by Elizabeth Nuckols Lee. It's in book form on the shelf at the Family History Library. Lee copied the county records and they are neatly typed and indexed. Very helpful.
