Century Law Talk</A>

This is an article that is very explicit and educational about various laws
in the 1700's concerning taxes, marriage, divorce, guardianships, etc that
explains a lot of puzzling situations and hints on VA research. It is rather
lengthy because it covers so much material, but is worth 10 minutes with a
cup of coffee or hot tea. Since many of our KY/TN ancestors came from VA
after the Revolutionary War, it affects most of our history.
