Book Description
"In 1654 the Bristol City Council passed an ordinance requiring that a register of servants destined for the colonies be kept, the purpose being to prevent the practice of dumping innocent youths into servitude.

Westward into Kentucky
Author: Chester Raymond YoungPublisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 0813149266
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
In his youth Daniel Trabue (1760–1840) served as a Virginia soldier in the Revolutionary War. After three years of service on the Kentucky frontier, he returned home to participate as a sutler in the Yorktown campaign. Following the war he settled in the Piedmont, but by 1785 his yearning to return westward led him to take his family to Kentucky, where they settled for a few years in the upper Green River country. He recorded his narrative in 1827, in the town of Columbia, of which he was a founder. A keen observer of people and events, Trabue captures experiences of everyday life in both the Piedmont and frontier Kentucky. His notes on the settling of Kentucky touch on many important moments in the opening of the Bluegrass region.

Pages : 246
Book Description
Formed from Albemarle in 1761, Amherst County, much larger than it is today, rested on the eastern slope of the Blue Ridge, and included what we now call Nelson County. This book is the result of many hours spent in a congested courthouse gathering together information from various sources. Some of the documents originally thought missing, she found. One such discovery was "The Lost Order Book" for the years 1773-1782, an interesting document containing records of the court, records that provide us with insights into daily life and the legal system in place at that time. This work contains information on the Committee of Safety, and Minute Men, the First Rifle Company, Revolutionary Officers of the Amherst County Militia, Captain Azariah Martin's Company of Militia, Captain William Tucker's Company of Militia, Regiment of Guards, Clothing and Beef for the 16th Division, Disbursement to the Wives, Widows and Orphans of Revolutionary Soldiers, Letter of Colonel William Fontaine Describing Surrender of Cornwallis, Letter of Colonel Hugh Rose to Governor Harrison, Claims for Property Impressed or Taken for Public Service, Applications for Pensions, Soldiers of the French and Indian War, and the Officers of Amherst Militia Before the Revolution. The Appendix contains the Will of Sarah Henry, mother of Patrick Henry. An assortment of illustrations and the original full-name index further complement this work.
