Colonial Families of the Eastern Shore of Virginia, Volume 2

This second volume of _Colonial Families of the Eastern Shore of Virginia_ focuses on the descendants of Edward Bayly, Richard Bayly, Edward Byrd, Edward Ker, John Lewis, Samuel Marshall (Bayside Marshalls) and Roger Miles - primarily of Accomack County. A full-name and place index adds to the value of this work.
Mary Frances devoted many years to the research of early Accomack County families and, at the time of this volume¿s original publication, was in the process of turning over her research to Barry and M. K., whose collaboration has generated a database of Accomack County families, initially focusing on the upper portion of Accomack County, but which is expanding into the rest of Accomack and Northampton Counties.
These three individuals have over twenty-five years of experience each with Accomack County families and the various local records, cemeteries and people still living in Accomack County. Mary Frances has researched and locally printed over forty family booklets and, with Barry and M. K., published the _Tombstone Inscriptions of Upper Accomack County, Virginia, 1854-1896_ in 1997 and the _Abstracts of the Wills and Administrations of Accomack County, Virginia, 1800-1860_ in 2000. They have also assembled over 40,000 names in a genealogy database, representing hundreds of Accomack County families.
