Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Virginia Families: Being Genealogies of the Kinney, Stribling, Trout, McIlhany, Milton, Rogers, Tate, Snickers, Taylor, McCormick, and Other Families of Virginia The facts contained in the following pages have been collect ed at leisure moments during the past eight years largely because Of my desire to know something Of my more immediate relatives. As my materials have increased rapidly in value and extent, and as others have become interested in my investigations from time to time, I have had numerous requests to put the results Of my work into permanent form. Accordingly my first intention was to publish the history of each family in a separate volume. But as the numerous intermarriages among the families would have required the reprinting of a great deal of the material in each volume, I finally determined to include all the records in one book. Cross references being made from one part to another. As the work on the different families has been carried on largely at different times and in different ways, it will perhaps be noticed that the facts concerning the individuals are more detailed in some places than in others. Yet I have refrained from eulogizing any one, and have simply stated the facts as far as I could Obtain them. Hence no literary merit need be expected in the work. Only in the earlier generations have I given many details of the lives Of those concerned. The Order in which the families are arranged in the book has been determined solely by the order in which they were completed, much Of the information having been collected since the printer began work upon the first family some eight months ago. For this reason it may happen that some changes have occurred during the last year which are not recorded in the book.
