History of
Augusta County, Virginia - Free
A county remote from the first scenes of European settlement in Virginia;
not visited by whites until 1716; uncolonized till 1732, and organized less
than a century and a half ago, appears to offer few materials for history. But
that holds untrue. The history written by John Lewis Peyton delves into the
first 150 years of existence of Augusta County. Besides the rich history, also
provided for the genealogists are family genealogies, biographies of important
people, and marriage records covering the early years of existence of the
county.
History of
Rockbridge County, Virginia - Free
There is but one Rockbridge County in the United States. The unique name
is due to a great natural curiosity within its limits. The position of the
county is nearly midway in the longer direction of the Valley of Virginia. The
latitude—mostly to the south of the thirty-eighth parallel— is that of the
center of Kentucky, the south of Missouri, and the center of California.
