Early Virginia Families Along the James River, Volume 1 : Henrico County - Goochland County, Virginia
Two special features of the volume should also be noted. Included are the Quit Rent Rolls for James City County and Surry County, 1704-1705, containing the names of more than 500 patentees of new land with the number of their taxable acres. In addition, Mrs. Foley has prepared an index to the James City County Civil War map of 1864 which gives the names of persons located on their respective properties. In many instances, as shown by a comparison of names on the map with those in the Patent Books, land was passed down from generation to generation, and by the time of the Civil War as many as eight or ten generations may have succeeded to the same land or to land nearby.
This is the third volume in a series by Mrs. Foley designed to identify the earliest settlers of Virginia. Volume I, covering Henrico and Goochland counties, also available from Clearfield Company.
