This history not only treats the initial phases of Campbell County's settlement and the three major streams of immigration-Quaker, Presbyterian, and Anglican-but also identifies the early patentees, the Quakers who moved from South River, the founders and settlers of Lynchburg and surrounding towns and villages, ministers, lawyers, court clerks, judges, military veterans, and pensioners. Of paramount importance for genealogists is the 200-page section devoted to Campbell County genealogies.

This is not a cheap book but if you have interest in Campbell county,

Virginia or Bedford county, Virginia this has lots of information on

how and when the county was settled and a very good research aid. My

wife is from there and needed this for researching her family line.

If you are a historian as we are was worth the money.

This review is from: Campbell Chronicles and Family Sketches (Paperback)

First published in 1927, this text gives a historical perspective on the development and major families that influenced the birth and early growth of the County. Lots of detail on early small towns, villages, churches, crops and schools. Many pictures are included as well.
