Stafford County History
Founded in 1664, created from Westmorland County and named for the English County of Stafford, Stafford County, Virginia, has strong connections to events that shaped our nation's history. It was at Marlboro Point, that Indian Princess Pocahontas was kidnapped and taken to Jamestown. Another historical figure also made Stafford his home. Augustine Washington, with the rest of his family, including a six-year-old son named George, moved to Ferry Farm in 1738. The future first president spent his formative years there until he reached young adulthood

Genealogy Book to Give Away!
At a recent used book sale at our local library, I picked up a copy of Vol. 1 of "James Stark of Stafford County Virginia and His Descendants". This book is by Harris and Jorgensen. It is a large (maybe 9x14") paper bound book with a plastic spine. It has 470 pages. They are probably typewritten pages. The book was compiled by Mary Kathryn Harris and Mary Iva Jean Jorgensen. Copyright 1985 private printed, Fort Worth, Texas. I only have volume one of three volumes.
I have finished my research and would like to pass this book along to someone else who can use it. If you know of anyone who would like this copy, I'm happy to mail it to them if they will cover the cost of mailing which should be minimal.
Please contact Nina if you are interested.
