Scotch-Irish Migration to South Carolina, 1772 [Paperback]

Stephenson (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0806348321 | ISBN-13: 978-0806348322 | Publication Date: 2001

Wayland's sketches of Rockingham County natives and other persons who had become identified with the county or the City of Harrisonburg reflect a wide variety of occupations, achievements and interests inasmuch as they include farmers, businessmen, educators, preachers, doctors, nurses, lawyers, jurists, statesmen, soldiers, writers, and so on. Part I, the larger of the two components of the volume, consists of extended biographical sketches, with accompanying portraits, of Wayland's contemporaries. The subjects' careers and civic interests are covered in some detail, as is each individual's date and place of birth--and sometimes death-- and the names and dates associated with the subject's marriages and children. Part II features shorter, un-illustrated essays of a few hundred Rockingham County luminaries of bygone years, any number of whose lines are extended back to the 1700s.

This review is from: Scotch-Irish Migration to South Carolina, 1772 (Paperback)

Not much help for those researching their history unless you already know the names in the book and only want proof of migration. I suggest borrowing the book.
