Editorial Reviews: This work, which treats the same area as Kozee's Early Families of Eastern and Southeastern Kentucky , is largely a source-book of genealogical data, rather than a collection of family histories. Genealogical information on each county is uniform and is arranged in the following manner: first is given the boundary and establishment by law of each county; next, a synopsis of the earliest court records pertaining to the county; then, often a list of pioneer families according to the 1810 federal census and various county tax lists--alphabetically arranged by head of household; and finally, and of greatest importance to the researcher, marriage records of various southeastern Kentucky counties. Additional sections of interest include lists of Revolutionary, War of 1812, and Civil War soldiers.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Clay County descendant of Allen, Baker, Daniel Comment: I am from Kentucky but now live in North Carolina. A relative traced my family tree back two generations, but no farther. Although I had no burning interest in genealogy per se, I wondered what eastern state my relatives came from. On 1 January 2008, an aunt sent me a package with lineage traced back to Adoniram Allen b.1734. I traced Adoniram back to England 1636, so in one fell swoop I now have part of my traced lineage. I enjoyed the Kozee book, because I am also descended from two Baker lines. Robert Baker, in whose house the first Clay County court was held, is also my ancestor. I enjoyed reading about the early history of Kentucky. Another relative is Kenus Fara Daniel, but I have not traced his parents, grandparents. Perhaps the Thomas W Daniel noted in the Clay County section will help me make future connections. Customer Rating: Summary: Partially a good resource but flawed Comment: The vital records collected and available in this book are very useful but the genealogy of the families is quite flawed. A researcher would want to verify each bit of information. My own families (Browns, Prestons, Van Hooses, Williams, etc) are in this book and the mistakes are numerous. More Reviews
