In the preparation of this book I have had the valuable assistance of Mr. Oren F. Morton, who, in addition to condensing the great mass of material into the shape in which it appears in sections from 1 to 251, prepared the articles which appear under the title "Virginia's Share in the Militia Movements of the Revolution," and "Virginia Counties, Old and New." I wish also to acknowledge my indebtedness to Judge Lyman Chalkley, of Lexington, Kentucky, for procuring for me some of the declarations of record in that State, to Mr. W. G. Stanard, the Secretary of the Virginia Historical Society, and Dr. Henry R. Mcllwaine, the Virginia State Librarian, for many courtesies shown me while engaged in the preparation of this book.
