THOMAS UNDERWOOD, 1650 IMMIGRANT (his descendants
& their royal lines)”,
Some Underwood descendants are wanting me to
update my last Underwood book, “THOMAS UNDERWOOD, 1650 IMMIGRANT (his
descendants & their royal lines)”, but in order to do that the
printer insist I have a minimum of
35 orders.
If you want this last Underwood book, please
send a $20. deposit to me now. If by chance, I do not get 35 orders,
which seems unlikely, I shall refund your deposit. The book will be
$40.00 plus $2.00 postage. As you can see I pay part of the postage. I
am not making a profit but trying to get my publishing costs covered.
The book is 8 1/2 X 11, dark blue with gold
title on front and spine, documented at end of each chapter, indexed,
includes photos, wills, deeds, and marriage records when found . Each
allied family ( family of an Underwood grandmother
by marriage) has a chapter devoted to it as does each Underwood
ancestor. Written with interesting material, such as info on some of
the Underwood accomplishments > >the frigate USS Underwood, Aunt Jemima
ad, Underwood meatspread; it is not a book with just names and dates.
This book will be the last edition made even though I have said that
before. I am 81 years old and have other families that I want to
continue researching.

"Wright
Family Birth Records (1853-1896) And Marriage Records
(1786-1915), Franklin County, Virginia" by Robert N. Grant
Description from Heritage Books
Arranged in chronological order, these records are rich in
genealogical information. The useful "Identification" column gives
insight as to
relationships and kinships which would otherwise be very difficult to
ascertain.
Information in the "Births" section includes: status (slave or
white), sex,
owner's/father's name and occupation, residence, mother's name, informant,
and informant's relationship to the child. The "Marriages" section
is arranged
by date of marriage and gives names of the bride and groom, parents' names,
surety, witnesses and in later records additional information such as age,
color, previous marital status, places of birth and residence, occupation and
name of minister. The sources for the records listed in this work are the
Franklin County, Virginia, Birth and Marriage Records available from the
Clerk
of the Circuit Court, and from microfilms from the Genealogical Society of
the
Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints and other published works.

"Wright Family Personal
Property Tax Records (1786-1850), Franklin County, Virginia."
by Robert N. Grant
Description from Heritage Books
Wright Family Personal Property Tax Records, Franklin County, Virginia,
1786-1850 – Robert N. Grant. The author has amassed a bounty of information
about Wrights in southern Virginia. This material
has been separated into sections by county and by type, making it an
efficient and organized resource for Wright family researchers. The Franklin
County, Virginia, Personal Property Tax Lists were the source of information
for this volume. This collection of personal property records is arranged
chronologically, 1786-1850. We can gain fascinating insight into how the
early Wrights lived, based on the types of property which appear in these tax
lists. This easy-to-read format may include white and black tithables, whites
over 21, blacks over 16, blacks under 16, total blacks, horses, cattle,
carriages, ordinary licenses, billiard tables, ice houses, watches, clocks,
furniture, pianos, and income from working physicians, surgeons and dentists,
printing presses and bridge and ferry rents for any given entry. All names
are indexed. A most helpful feature for each entry is the “identification”
column, in which the author identifies the specific family and Wright
ancestors from whom the named Wright descends. 2001, 423 pp., 8.5x11,
fullname index, paper, $48.50 #G1965
There are similar books by Robert N. Grant,
for Bedford County which include records for Franklin County Wright families
as well.
