(Well, it takes a lot of clicking around but try this URL ) _http://vtrc.virginiadot.org/PUBS.aspx_ (http://vtrc.virginiadot.org/PUBS.aspx) Another author of these books or booklets besides Nathaniel Mason Pawlett is Ann Brush Miller. And Douglas Young compiled a booklet *A brief history of the Staunton and James River Turnpike* I have tried to cut and paste this information from the Family History Library Catalog, doing an author search for Pawlett, Nathaniel Mason. This info concerns the holdings of the FH Library and not the Virginia Dept of Transportation, which probably has more. . Some of these books have been microfiched by the FH Library and should be available to order through your nearby LDS family history center. Each microfiche costs 15 cents apiece (currently) and I understand that most FHCs keep these microfiche in their permanent files. Note that some books have as many as 5 fiche in each set. But what a bargain!!!! And besides, you can skip to to the last frames on the microfiche and check the index for your family (and Neighbors, of course) names. The neighbors were frequently the in-laws and cousins, or soon would be!!! Do an author search in the FHL [www.familysearch.org] for Ann Brush Miller also. She was the sole author of a few of these books, particularly Orange Co., VA. (It was in Orange Co., VA that I discovered the naturalization application of Jacob Holtzclaw, one of the First Germanna Colonists.) Pass this info along, please, to the rootweb sites to which you subscribe. The formatting may get goofed up in this pasting: Pawlett, Nathaniel Mason Titles Albemarle County road orders, 1744-1748 Albemarle County roads, 1725-1816 Amelia County road orders 1735-1753 Augusta County road orders, 1745-1769 Brunswick county road orders, 1732-1746 Goochland County road orders, 1728-1744 Louisa County road orders, 1742-1748 Lunenburg County road orders 1746-1764 Orange County road orders The route of the Three Notch'd Road : a preliminary report Spotsylvania County road orders, 1722-1734 E.W.Wallace
