Lewis County, WV Birth, Death, Marriage, Divorce Records

Birth, death, and marriage records (1917 to the present) for Lewis County are available, to those who qualify, from the Vital Registration Office, usually for $12. The Lewis County Clerk maintains pre-1917 vital records. Eventually, records usually become public: birth records after 100 years; death, marriage, and divorce records after 50 years. The first Europeans explored present-day Lewis County in 1769 and began to settle there in 1770. In 1816, the county was created from Harrison County and named for Colonel Charles Lewis (killed fighting Shawnee and Mingo Native Americans in 1774). It was enlarged in 1818, including parts of what would become eight more counties.
