Inhaltsangabe

This work establishes the precise location of the site of "shares" or "home lots" of five acres each belonging to Roger Williams and the other original settlers of the Providence, Rhode Island. Perhaps more importantly for genealogists it also consists of short biographical and genealogical essays of the owners of the lots, virtually all of them containing references to the settlers’ origins in England.

Reseña del editor

Mr. Davidson's history of Wilkinson County takes on added importance owing to the 1852 fire in the county courthouse that destroyed a number of the county's pre-Civil War records. Indeed, the middle quarter of the book includes abstracts of several thousand Wilkinson County marriage records and, to a lesser extent, wills and Civil War muster rolls for Wilkinson County. The balance of the work is almost evenly divided between a narrative history of the county and genealogical and biographical essays treating about 100 Wilkinson County families.
