FYI - I found this North Carolina genealogy book on another site ... Press Release: A new book on the NC area has been published by Jeffrey Williams. Lore and Legacy: A History of the Cheek, Sale and Sparks Families is a 430 page photobook covering 400 years of English - North Carolina history, from the early 1600s to present. Noteables include: US Senator Robert Byrd (born as Cornelius Calvin Sale Jr), Joel Owsley Cheek (founder of Maxwell House Coffee), Sir John Cheke (tutor to King Edward VI), Elizabeth Sparks and Daniel Boone. Approximately 160 images, including family crests.
