Book Description
This book, a family history of Albert Carroll Tiller, is an effort to both reconnect and remind those specially and historically removed from their ancestral home and cultural roots, just who they are and where they came from. The emphasis is not on genealogy, but on the story of seven generations of a family, set in the historical and cultural context of their times.

Book Description
By: George H.S. King, Pub. 1978, Reprinted 2021, 345 pages, Soft Cover, Index, ISBN #0-89308-578-2. King George county was created in 1721 from Richmond County, VA. In 1777, King George & Stafford county changed portions of the boundaries with each other. And in 1778, King George again had property transferred to and from Westmoreland County, VA. King George County has suffered many missing records and the wills were thought to be part of the missing records until the author discovered them and returned them in 1977 after he transcribed them. Wills are a favorite source for research for the family historian due to the many names being mentioned within them.
