Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Year Book of the Society, Sons of the Revolution, in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, 1894-1913: And Catalogue of Military Land Warrants Granted by the Commonwealth of Virginia to Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolution
As is well known, the bulk of the land covered by these war rants lies in what is now the Commonwealth of Kentucky and a large number of the grantees in these warrants came themselves to Kentucky, either to settle on their own bounty lands, or to speculate in them or to exchange them for other lands in Ken tucky. Where the immediate beneficiaries of these warrants did not com-e, their sons or grandsons, brothers or nephews, came, and the reading of the names in this catalogue sounds like a roll cal'l of the early Kentucky settlers and of their descendants down to the present day.
