I have checked our library and it does not have Mr.Johnson's book on Surry County taxables. I am hoping someone on the list has a copy of the book and will do a look-up for me. I am researching Collins Hampton and would very much appreciate a check of the book. If he is included, I will try to find a copy to purchase. Thanks you all for your interesting posts.
