The authors present each family line back in time to arrival on the shores of the United States, with a synopsis of the family origins in Europe, if known. The authors relied on family bibles, family stories, and handwritten records of ancestors where available as well as court, tax, property, and marriage records from the seven states these families lived in or passed through on their migration from Virginia to Missouri. Also used were church and cemetery records. The National Archives Census reports and military records were essential in documenting the everyday lives and contributions these families made to this great country. Information on the Revolutionary War Patriots was derived from records of recognition and membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) and the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR).
