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.
