HELLO
- WELCOME!
My name is LaRae
Halsey-Brooks, and my
daughter,
Eireann Brooks, and I are the
County Co-Coordinators
for the Grayson County
VAGenWeb Project.
I've been researching
our Grayson, Ashe,
and Alleghany County families
--
Halsey, McMillan/McLamont,
Gambill, Landreth, Wyatt,
Hackler/Hechler, Grayson,
Nall, Davenport, Peak, Young, and Weaver --
for 30+ years, and now I
take great pleasure in transcribing
and posting records for all of Grayson County.
My
daughter Eireann and I have been
creating and maintaining
County and Special Project
webpages for the USGenWeb for
19 years.
If you would like to contribute
Biographical Sketches of your
Grayson County families to this
website,
please let us know.
We will be happy to create a
special page for your material
and include any photographs,
scanned documents,
or other items you'd like to add
to the page.
We also would like a list of your
Grayson
County Surnames
with dates and townships.
We'll include a link back
so others researching your
families can contact you.
If you live in or near Grayson
County and would like to
take digital photographs of
cemeteries and tombstones,
please
let us know.
If you have access to existing
cemetery transcriptions,
land records, tax rolls, school
class rosters/photos, etc.,
we would be most grateful for any
and all submissions.
If you are interested in hosting
another county
in Virginia for the VAGenWeb
Project,
adoptable counties can be found on
VAGenWeb,
or you may contact Virginia
State Coordinator Jeff Kemp.
Please
check back within the next couple
of weeks
as we add new records
to the page!
Thank you!
LaRae & Eireann
About Grayson
County
Grayson County was formed in
1793 from part of Wythe County
and was named for William Grayson,
delegate to the Continental Congress
from 1784 to 1787 and one of the first two
U.S. Senators from Virginia.
The county seat is Independence.
Grayson is nestled in the Blue Ridge
Mountains and
embraced on the north by Wythe County, on
the west by
Smyth and Washington Counties, Carroll
County on the east,
and touches North Carolina and the
northeastern tip
of Tennessee on the southern borders.
