In this very scarce two-volume work, Mr. and Mrs. Glazebrook succeeded in extracting those documents pertaining to Hanover County that survived the burning of Richmond in April 1865 and that were not published in William Ronald Cocke's "Hanover County Chancery Wills and Notes." The surviving materials consist of a great many deeds, wills, inventories, accounts, letters, depositions, etc., pertaining to Hanover County for the colonial and early Federal periods.
Adair Family History
This is a scholarly and informative account of the origin and settlement of the counties of Albemarle, Augusta, Caroline, Essex, Gloucester, Goochland, Hanover, King William, King and Queen, Louisa, New Kent, and Orange, and of the people and events associated with their history. Woven throughout the narrative are descriptions of homes and homeowners, lands and landowners, and choice and enthralling tidbits of lore and legend, not to mention biographical sketches of notable countians and lists of civil and military officers, histories of churches and other institutions, and much, much more.
Genealogical research in colonial Virginia can be challenging, particularly in counties that have experienced significant record loss. Researchers with ancestors in these so-called "burned counties," including New Kent, Hanover, Albemarle, and Buckingham, frequently hit "brick walls" in striving to connect their known 19th century ancestors with earlier generations. This research volume traces the author's ancestor, James Hill, who died in Amherst County in 1831, back several generations to the end of the 17th and early 18th century. A comprehensive review of previously published work and surviving courthouse, processioning, parish, tithable, deed, taxation, Y-DNA, merchant accounts, revolutionary war, census, and other records provides the basis for conclusions. John Hill of Hanover, a freeholder planter who died in Hanover County about 1727, is identified as the patriarchal ancestor for James Hill and a number of other families with the Hill surname. A listing of many of the descendants of John Hill of Hanover, through four generations, is included.
"The author?s goal in Virginia [and WV] Families of Louisa, Hanover, and Monroe Counties was to document the ancestry of her husband, Charles Philip Blankenship. In doing so, she not only uncovered the allied families named in the subtitle of the work, but also traced his family?s migration patterns from South Carolina to Monroe County, West Virginia; from Pennsylvania to Botetourt County, Virginia; from New Kent County, Virginia to Louisa and Hanover Counties, Virginia; and from Henrico County to Prince Edward County in Virginia. Containing pedigree charts, instructions on the drawing of land plats from deeds, individual chapters on each allied family, and comprehensive place and name indexes, this is an outstanding regional history."--Genealogical.com.
