An Atlas Of German Migration And America
|
| Following German settlers across America is not difficult, but in order to locate your particular ancestor, a researcher must identify the settlers, learn where they came from, when they immigrated, how they left their homeland and perhaps why they decided to leave. It may also be necessary to learn a fair amount of German history. All of these pieces of knowledge may eventually help to locate your ancestors - General Reference - - |

CABELL COUNTYS EMPIRE FOR FREEDOM
|
| Sampson Sanders was the wealthiest landowner in Cabell County, [West] Virginia during the Anti-bellum Period, and the owner of fifty-one slaves that came to him through inheritance. Sanders never purchased or sold a slave, and upon his death, he manumitted all his slaves and provided them with the means and land to start a new life as free men and women in Michigan. This remarkable man taught his slaves to run his holdings rather than hire an overseer, and in defiance of Virginia laws, it is evident that some of his slaves could read, write and cipher. Readers and historians will appreciate this well researched perspective of life on Sanders unique plantation, as well as the history of its slaves. Thanks to nearly complete records, Carrie Eldridge is able to trace family origins back to Hannah, the family matriarch, and reconstruct the history and evolution of an African-American family from 1780 to the present. Numerous illustrations, appendices, a bibliography and indices to people and places enhance the text. - United States - West Virginia - Cabell |

NICHOLAS COUNTY, KENTUCKY, PROPERTY TAX LISTS, 1800-1811 with indexes to Deed Books A&B (2), and C
|
| Tax lists are an excellent resource often overlooked by researchers. Tax lists provide researchers with the names of persons present in the county at the time the tax was assessed along with a comparison of name spelling. The first section of this valuable research aid covers four tax years (1800, 1801, 1809, and 1811) and includes: the location of properties, the name of the person who first claimed or provided surety, which type of land was taxed, and property value. Entries include year, person, location and water course, and entered/surveyed, as well as number of voters, white males, slaves and horses. The second section compares tax records for eleven years that fall within two census periods. The third section shows an expanded census for 1810, and the fourth section offers the deed book indices of the period for name comparison. An index to tax payers and a map of Nicholas County add to the value of this work. - United States - Kentucky - Nicholas |

|
| Stray books record animals found and claimed by residents of the county. These animals could have strayed from an area farm, but more than likely they were lost by settlers moving west who did not have time to stop and recover them. - United States - Kentucky - Nicholas |

ON THE FRONTIER OF VIRGINIA AND NORTH CAROLINA
|
| Between 1720 and 1820 more than 75% of the people moving on the frontier were “over the mountains” in western Virginia or North Carolina. To locate families, a researcher need an understanding of how and when that region developed. The western movement can be loosely grouped into several time frames. During each period, the pioneer movement had a different direction and only sometimes a particular destination. Once the pioneer started moving he and the frontier continued until stopped by the Pacific Ocean. Not everyone moved, but often a member of the family did. “Over the Mountain,” “Gone to Kentucky,” “Unknown” are some of the entries on tax and census lists of the 18th and 19th Century. Where did they go? How did they get there? Where did they come from? This gazetteer may help solve your problems in the “Old West.” - United States - Virginia North Carolina - |
