For all of you who have any Garton (Garten, Gartin) connections in VA and states westward, we are excited about a 2 volume book about to be published by the editor of our "Garton News." This will essentially represent work by many Garton researchers over the past 70 years, as well as original research by the editor over the past 30 years, and will be the first "book" in print on this family which descends from William Garton (d. 1709) of Lancaster County. The first volume will concentrate on the descendants of his grandsons Uriah and Zacharia. The second volume will be devoted to the descendants of his grandson Elijah. Both volumes will total about 1100 pages and will also include much on allied families which were located in the areas of Spotsylvania and Augusta counties throughout the 1700s.. For more information contact: Burton Garten at <gartenb@iquest.net>. He is taking orders now! Gail Gartin Gilbert
