I recently reread an old book written by James Alexander Thom. It is called Follow the River. It is about a woman named Mary Ingles who lived in the New River area of VA/WVA pre-Revolutionary War. There is mention of several areas that some of my family came from Sinking Creek, and Dunkard's Bottom. When I first read this book, I hadn't done my family research and it was still a good book, but now that I have done alot of Montgomery and Giles research it had new meaning for me. I hope that other people who have family from these areas will consider reading it. It gives insight into what pioneer life was like before white people spread into western VA and Ohio.
