RICHARD & GLENN not to confuse you but do not forget GILES CO in Va. for early records and even possibly MONTGOMERY CO in Va [Have not been there yet myself] as the Hinton area is supposed to have been known as Leatherwood when THAT IT WAS GILES County. The evolution of the acreage that is now Summers seems to have been such a place. Giles Co even has a volunteer in the genealogy room. Funny but it seems that early on you could live and die in the same general area and still have lived in several counties and a couple of different states.
