notable southern families. volume ii
Synopsis "notable southern families. volume ii"
This is a collection of family histories touching upon many thousands of individuals of Cavalier, Scotch-Irish, and Huguenot stock, the one common denominator being the milieu of the South. In almost every instance family lines are brought down to the present day from the earliest settler in America, the lines convincingly developed after careful consideration of court records, histories, family bibles, and miscellaneous family documents. The Colonial, Revolutionary, War of 1812, and Civil War record of each family is set forth succinctly. Although the primary aim of the work is to show the Colonial or Revolutionary settler and his posterity, treatment is given, in some cases, to the progenitors of the original settler. Each genealogy is meticulously developed, giving all names in both collateral and direct lines of descent, dates and places of birth, marriage and death, places of residence, and all other particulars of genealogical significance. This volume includes genealogies of the families of Bean, Boone, Borden, Bryan, Carter, Davis, Donaldson, Hardwick, Haywood, Holliday, Hollingsworth, Houston, Johnston, Kelton, Magill, Rhea, Montgomery, Shelby, Vance, Wear, and Williams.
