Thank you Ira!~!! I talked with a lady in VA about doing some research, she looked into a book and told me I had to start with Monroe and Montgomeryt county before she would help in VA. (I merely wanted names of Hunts and Logan families in Charlotte around 1775, the birthdate of John Hunt...) Man, what a purist! but now, I know which book she used. Now, does anyone know how to search Monroe and Montgomery County. don ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ira Harris" <barebear@insightbb.com> To: <ALBIBB@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2008 5:54 AM Subject: [ALBIBB] Formation of Bibb County, Alabama > Source: Handy Book for Genealogists > Edited by George B.
