Big Sandy  Valley
A History of the People and Country
Author: Ely, William
Volume  totaling
500
pages. Book is in new  condition. Just what you need  for genealogy research. Per the publisher;
The Big Sandy Valley, which is today situated mostly in Eastern  Kentucky, encompasses all or part of sixteen counties in Kentucky, Virginia, and  West Virginia. Unlike Willard Rouse Jillson’s excellent regional history with  the same title (also available from Clearfield Company), Ely’s book is crammed  with annals, sketches, and anecdotes of the settlers of the Big Sandy Valley. It  consists mainly of biographical sketches of individuals and their families, with  considerable genealogical data, the period covered being 1790 through the 1880s.

Hardbound volume  totaling
393
pages. Book is in new condition.   Just what you need  for genealogy research. Per the publisher;
This work offers      important source data and is a major advance in Tennessee genealogical      reference material. From records in the State Archives in Nashville, and      from over twenty county courthouses, the record abstracts relate to over      18,000 early Tennessee settlers. There are Revolutionary warrants, grants      and certificates of survey, will abstracts, tombstone inscriptions, deed      abstracts, marriages--including the valuable Sumner County marriages,      1791-1813--and court orders and petitions. Many of these came from the      counties of Bedford, Bledsoe, Carter, Davidson, Dyer, Franklin, Hawkins,      Henry, Jackson, Jefferson, Maury, Montgomery, Overton, Smith, Stewart,      Sullivan, Sumner, Washington, White, Williamson, and Wilson. There also are      genealogical notes on some two dozen families
