This is a superb body of knowledge on the lineages of settlers of this region, following their descendants through the 18th century and sometimes into the early 1800s. By networking the multi-faceted talents of these authors we have greatly advanced the research of these families. Our authors draw on a wide range of published and unpublished sources including: probate, land, and court records; tax lists; church records; Bible records; cemetery records; and, published and unpublished family histories (sometimes obscure).
