Bedford Researchers, This is a quote for another great book, "The History of Bedford County, Virginia", page 37, by Lula Jeter Parker: " ... 'Our Kin,' the history and genealogy of many of the old and prominent families of Bedford County, written by Mary Denham Ackerly (now Mrs. G. Harris Field) and Lula Eastman Jeter Parker ..." I think it is two volumes? It's been awhile since I've looked at it. Unfortunately, it does not include the Gross family.
