Handwritten Genealogy & Family History Written between 1919 and 1925 by William Buckner McGroanty

Handwritten Genealogy & Family History

This is truly a rare and unique piece.

Written sometime between 1919 and 1925 as those are the 20th c dates I have found.

References to births going back to 1677 (earliest that I found).

There are 200 pages in the book plus many loose notes - almost every surface is written on.

Belonged to William Buckner McGroanty (sp?) Falls Church Va Box 155

This journal was made as a genealogical record keeper, as many pages have pre-printed on the left side "Name, Son of, born or bap. died, will , married, date of, born or bap, died & They had issue the the bottom of the page blank and then a few blank pages for notes.

The author of incorporated public and private information in the notes. Referencing wills, stories, military service, parish records, municipal records - sometimes including the volume, ledger, book, page, etc. ( some of these records may no longer exist because of damage, fire or being disposed of) .

Places referenced like: Powhatan, Essex Co, St. Paul's Parish, King Wm Co., Caroline Co., Rappahonnock River,
Craigs Ferry, Golden Vale - Col. John Catletts Estate (with diagram) and many more too numerous to name.

Also, hand drawn diagrams of estates, land owned and areas related to the research.
