<p>This ancestral anthology is a collection of accounts of remarkable individuals, be they gentry or plain folk. In this book, these Barnhill and Geraty families-for the first time in print-are traced to the immigrants, and the Geraty group even into their home county in Ireland. Arriving at different times, descendants of these two families lived in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and points west. More than a tabulation of names and dates, this book traces the early movements of these pioneers while documenting their trials and tribulations in detail. The emphasis is on the first three or four generations descending from the immigrant, at which point one can pick up the thread to include their own lines. During the half-century of personal research, the author has made every effort to maintain a high level of scholarship. Consequently, the book is based on careful assembly, interpretation and evidence analysis. Numerous maps, portraits, and other illustrations are included. Original Civil War discharge papers and other important material from private collections are reproduced in full. A comprehensive name and place index plus copious endnotes complete the volume.</p>

<p>After eight years of research in the records of the War Department, the State Department, the archives of the individual states, as well as records of the Spanish and the British in West Florida, the author first published this collection of the passports and travel records in 1982. These documents were issued to individuals and families traveling or migrating into the Mississippi Valley area and include all known travel documents for the period of 1770-1823. Each entry gives the names of the passport recipients, the official granting the passport, the date the passport was executed and other identifying particulars. In addition the history of the passport process as it affected the various jurisdictions under consideration is explained in detail. Bridging the gap between history and genealogy, this book includes extensive citations and notes. Coupled with a bibliography of sources and a complete name index, this volume possibly represents the most complete source of information for this time period.</p>

This ancestral anthology is a collection of accounts of remarkable individuals, be they gentry or plain folk. In this volume, a particular Richards family--for the first time in print--is traced to the immigrant. Previously unknown, the circumstances surrounding the immigrant's tragic voyage to the Colonies is now told for the first time. More than a tabulation of names and dates, this book traces their early movements in detail while telling stories of their trials and tribulations. The emphasis is on the first three or four generations descending from the immigrant, at which point one can pick up the thread to include their own lines. Descendants are mainly found in Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio, and points west. Numerous maps and various illustrations are included, as well as copies of early court documents and other newly discovered material. During the half-century of personal research, the author has made every effort to maintain a high level of scholarship, and conclusions are based on careful assembly, interpretation and evidence analysis. A full name index and copious endnotes complete the volume. Other surnames treated include: Barham, Barnhill, Boop, Bowman, Buck, Clark, Duell, Finnicum, Fryer, Gill, Harman, Johnson, King, Knox, McDougle, Morehead, Newell, Rhodes, Simmons, Smith, Starkey, and Van Horn.

This notable volume includes complete transcriptions and plat drawings made from the original volume located in 1976 at the Coffee County Court House. Potter's book is the only source for these important documents, as the original volume was accidentally not included in microfilming. The decision was there fore made not to abstract but to transcribe the material as recorded in the original, including plats reproduced in exact size. Cross-references for entry numbers of not only Coffee County but also entries issued in Bedford, Franklin and Warren Counties of land that later fell in Coffee County are included. Coupled with a full name index and addition of mid-nineteenth century documents on the early town of Tullahoma, this publication is of more than usual value. Author or editor of over 100 books and articles, Mrs. Potter is founding editor of the Coffee County Historical Society's prize-winning Quarterly and author of the highly acclaimed Passports of Southeastern Pioneers, 1770-1823.
