Over the Mountain Men

The records in this unpretentious volume are of four kinds--marriages wills Revolutionary petitions and gravestones--though indeed the bulk of the work is comprised of marriage records and wills. The marriage records derive from the counties of Bedford Franklin Grayson Pulaski and Roanoke; and the wills from the counties of Bedford Botetourt Carroll Floyd Grayson Pulaski and Roanoke. There is also a scattering of Revolutionary petitions and tombstone records from many of these same counties. Although the dates of the records vary most of them touch on the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Entries are arranged alphabetically under record group and county and concern approximately 9000 persons.
