Several old and scarce publications are reprinted here, forming a comprehensive coverage of Wythe County, Virginia history from its formation in 1790 up to the early 1900s. A roster of Wythe County soldiers in the Civil War contains the names of hundreds of men, with information such as promotions, imprisonment's and casualties. Wonderful old advertisements and photographs of beautiful scenery and old stone furnaces are combined here with local anecdotes, biographical sketches and scholarly statistical information. Other particulars include boundaries, topography, mining, industry, tobacco, transportation, influential families, the churches of Wythe County, a classified business directory from 1893-1894, and an 1883 map of Wytheville.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames S.

These early land tax laws required a tax commissioner in each district of a county to record a list of the names of persons owning land or town lots, the quantity of land owned and its value, and the amount of tax owed. By 1813, a brief geographic description (usually citing an adjacent stream, road, or other landmark) was required; in 1814, the distance and direction from the courthouse for each parcel was also added to the tax rolls.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe present work is an alphabetical listing of all 1815 landowners found in each county and independent city, as well as the accompanying description of the location of the said property. We have not included the number of acres, taxes assessed, or any transactions between landowners which may have been noted on the tax rolls; also, in many cases the geographic location was provided as \"adjacent to John Smith\", etc. and, while useful many times to a genealogist, was considered to be beyond the objectives of this project. The reader is encouraged to consider the information here-in as an \"outline\" of early landowners in Virginia rather than a \"text\" due to the year-to-year variation in information provided to the clerk (or recorded by the clerk), omissions, lack of \"identifiers\" to determine if \"same name\" was also \"same person\" within a district or across districts, marginal quality\/clarity (in a few cases) of the microfilm copy, and, not least, errors on the part of either the original clerks or the current author while transcribing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSome of the approaches to utilizing the 1815 landowner information include:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eobserve distinct clusters of the same surname within a county in order to clarify the common surnames such as \"Smith\", \"Anderson\", etc;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eidentify non-resident landowners and their county (or state) of residence (these people often being former residents of the current county);\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003edetermine neighbors with different surnames (often being relatives);\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003euse the 1815 information as a \"bridge\" from the 18th and 19th century deed\/will books to the 17th and 18th century land grants\/patents in the county;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eevaluate the 1810 to 1840 census information which generally grouped neighbors;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003esubstitute this information for missing deed\/will books in the \"burned\" counties; and, clarify\/enhance vague deed\/will information in the counties with more complete records.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eFORMAT OF PRESENTATION: Each entry is listed as: Surname, name, personal identifiers (if any); location\/place-name of land; miles\/direction from the 1815 courthouse.

When a landowner had land at more than one location\/place-name, the miles\/direction listing for each parcel is in the same sequence as the location listing (i.e. James RV, Slate CK; 12N, 5SW.).

As the historian and archivist Robert Clay once remarked in a lecture, an individual he was researching in Virginia’s frontier region \"appeared in a random document one morning, fully grown, and disappeared the following morning never to be heard from again.”\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOftentimes, early frontiersmen created few records and left little trace of their passing. Nowhere is this more evident than in the rapidly changing frontier west of the Blue Ridge. Starting with a trickle of settlers, there probably were no more than 160 families residing west of the mountains by 1735. By 1776 and the American Revolution, the number of settlers had grown to tens of thousands, attracted by the rich soils and pasture lands of the Shenandoah Valley and beyond, into Kentucky.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs the new government sought to bring order to the region, parent counties like Augusta and Lunenburg, which originally were little more than artificial lines when first drawn by surveyors in the wilderness, underwent division and subdivision into smaller political units to accomodate the new settlers. The trio of counties on Virginia’s frontier in the early 1740s [Frederick, Augusta, Lunenburg] would be divided and further subdivided over the next seven decades into more than sixty political units.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAuthor Karen Treacy has discovered an enlightening and unexpected record in the bounty system for wolf hunters. Early farmers and herders sought legislative relief from the scourge of wolf packs. The Virginia legislature responded by establishing the bounty system. In a time when an average laborer’s earning was $6-10\/month, the $1 to $6 or 100# tobacco from a wolf scalp (depending on the currency and inflation of the time) was an attractive economic draw for every class of frontiersman, even those constantly moving folk mentioned by Clay.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is an important record not only for the two and a half thousand individuals cited but also for a valuable historical window into the activities and growth of Virginia’s frontier society.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKaren Wagner Teacy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2025, 8.5\" x 11, paper, index, 169 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e107-WOLF\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iberian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42422935847030,"sku":"107-WOLF","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/107-wolf.png?v=1755622255"}],"url":"https:\/\/heritagebooks.com\/collections\/virginia-wythe-county\/virginia-pulaski-county+virginia-dickenson-county+author-wesley-e-pippenger+virginia-patrick-county+virginia-wise-county.oembed","provider":"Heritage Books, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
