Book Description

Excerpt from Historical Sketches of the Campbell, Pilcher and Kindred Families: Including the Bowen, Russell, Owen, Grant, Goodwin, Amis, Carothers, Hope, Taliaferro, and Powell Families This genealogy is not the product of an abundance of leisure, but rather the work accomplished in time taken from the exacting duties of a mother, and housewife. From an early age I have enjoyed the study of family history, and have pursued it for the past twenty years, hoping to leave valuable records, yet it has never seemed to me urgent that my manuscripts should be published; it is a labor of love freely given for my three children - Frances Owen, Stuart Carothers, and William Bowen Campbell Pilcher. I expected to leave the results of my investigations to them alone, but have been persuaded to have these records published, as many others desire copies.
