Since several people have joined this list over recent months, I want to
mention again 2 books which I have written about the Wainscott, Elrod,
Roberts, Baker, Stringfellow and other families who lived in the 1700s and
1800s in the Yadkin River area of NC and moved into Kentucky, settling in
Madison, Gallatin and Owen Counties. Several moved on into Indiana, Missouri
and Texas.
"The Wainscott Family" is the main book. It starts with Richard Wainscott,
the original immigrant from England to America. He was born in 1711 and
arrived in Maryland in 1728. He soon moved to Virginia, then to North
Carolina. I think he is the ancestor of everyone named Winscot or Wainscott
whose family originated in Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky or Missouri.
"The Wainscott Family" includes every descendant of Richard that I have
been able to identify. Many other Wainscott researchers sent me hundreds and
hundreds of names, dates, places and biographical information on their
branches of this large family. All info I have received on any Wainscott or
Winscot is in the book. The book has about 275 pages and costs $23.
"Wainscott Cousins" is a companion book. It includes information on 6 of
the families which most often intermarried with Wainscotts. Those families
were Baker, Elrod, Roberts, Stringfellow, Razor, & McMains. "Wainscott
Cousins" has about 210 pages and costs $17.
Each book is fully indexed (every-name index), is printed on 8.5 inch by
11 inch paper, and is softbound (with binding comb so that the book lies flat
when open).
Shipping is $4.00 for one book or $5.50 for both books.
If you are interested in purchasing one or both books, please write to me
and I will give you the mailing address for your order.
