I never met John Gott, but his works have furthered my knowledge of my Germanna family. I have had the pleasure of being in Fauquier Co. only once. It is a fur piece from California. I have great admiration for any compiler of genealogical works who spends hours/days/weeks either turning dusty and perhaps moldy records in a courthouse or squinting at microfilm and trying to make out the old handwriting. Thanks for people like John Gott. I am please to know that he seemed to have a good disposition!!! E.W.Wallace
