Randy, The title will be something like "Hampshire County, Virginia: Settlement and Some First Families." No date of publication has been set, but it won't be finished during the next three years. I must first finish another project, so I am presently inactive on Hampshire County research. If you want to be on a mailing list, please provide your home address in a private e-mail to me.
