Book News: Buckingham County Newspaper Records, 1736-1850
the freshest Advices by Randy F. McNew Crouse. Foreword by Joanne L. Yeck.
I am delighted to announce a wonderful new reference book for anyone interested in the deep history of Buckingham County . . . Randy Crouse’s the freshest Advices, Buckingham County, Virginia Genealogical Records from Newspapers, 1736-1850.
In this 798 page volume, Randy F. McNew Crouse has collected decades worth of newspaper articles relating to Buckingham County. Consulting 140 periodicals and more than 75,000 issues, Randy transcribed 2,000 articles and has reproduced images of many of the originals. A thorough index not only includes familiar Buckingham surnames but also popular topics such as taverns, plantations, mills, towns, and crime . . . just to name a few.
Advertisements for slave sales and runaways potentially aid those researching African Americans. Marriage and death notices, obituaries, and chancery case announcements are filled with genealogical nuggets.
These collected “freshest advices” are a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the day-to-day life of Buckingham County before 1850. Follow the links below and learn more!
