To those who are interested in Dabneys of Virginia: This is the source of the following record: Michael L. Cook and Bettie A.

Virginians and North Carolinians, also Pennsylvanians and Marylanders poured into Kentucky, especially speculators. I don't believe these books have been filmed, but check the Library Catalog on _www.familysearch.org_ (http://www.familysearch.org) and check the author Michael L. Cook. You can request--for a fee--that the indexes of certain books can be photocopied. Look for the word Form on the _www.familysearch.org_ (http://www.familysearch.org) and then search for a form titled Request for Photocopy.
