The Stones of Surry


Book Description

Governor William Stone emigrated to Virginia from England before 1633 where he settled in Accomac County.

This history follows the descendants of William and Verlinda's third child, John. These descendants live in North Carolina, Tennessee and elsewhere.

The Civil War and Yadkin County, North Carolina


Book Description

Located in the western piedmont of North Carolina, Yadkin County was hardly a hotbed of rebellion at the start of the Civil War. Many of the 1,200 men from Yadkin who served in the Confederate Army did so with distinction, but a number deserted. Some of these holed up in the Bond School House, and when the militia attempted to arrest them, four were killed and several others were wounded. This is a comprehensive accounting of how the county responded to the Civil War and the effect it had on Yadkin's citizens, civilian and military alike.
