A Brief History of Northern Kentucky
"From the arrival of the first European settlers in the late 1700s to the building of the Ark Encounter at Williamstown in 2016, Northern Kentucky's overall landscape and population has changed in dramatic fashion. Once a sparsely-populated and rugged wilderness with beautiful creeks, broad rivers, and fertile valleys, the region has been transposed into a sprawling urban metropolis. Early settlers, such as James Taylor Jr., Jacob Fowler, William Cave, and Thomas Kennedy knew well the potential of the incredibly beautiful territory they had discovered at the mouth of the Licking River. With the incredible success of Newport on the Levee, recent rehabilitation projects in Covington's inner-core, and the explosion in residential construction and industrial expansion in the outlying cities, Northern Kentucky has developed into one of the most desirable places in the country for both new business and home ownership. Robert D. Webster's A History of Northern Kentucky provides a long-overdue, comprehensive history of the region. Concentrating on Boone, Bracken, Campbell, Carroll, Fleming, Gallatin, Grant, Kenton, Mason, Owen, Pendleton, and Robertson counties, Webster chronicles the region from its first appearance above sea level to the growing suburbs of today. Making his way through time, Webster locates key moments in history, such as the Battle of Blue Licks, the building of the Roebling Bridge, and the Beverly Hills Supper Club fire of 1977, and discusses how each shaped Northern Kentucky. This region, Webster argues, has been underrepresented and often forgotten by historians of the commonwealth state"

Virginia Ancestors and Adventurers
From Ancestry.com, "This collection of genealogical vignettes derives from a variety of miscellaneous records and documents. Like the author's They Went Thataway, it attempts to prove, by a process of careful selection and evaluation, the Virginia connections of an individual or family, focusing exclusively on those persons who either moved to or from Virginia. All data originates from records in the public domain and includes materials drawn from wills, deeds, court orders, census records, tax records, birth, death, and marriage records, church records, military records, powers of attorney, and estate records. Accurate and reliable citations to sources and authorities are given for each item found in the public records. In addition to the above-mentioned records, this work draws on Revolutionary War Size Rolls and the old Virginia Gazette. The specific task of the records is to provide documentary evidence of the migration of individuals and families to Virginia or from Virginia to other states, countries, or territories. In many instances the records are annotated with notes and comments from the compiler's own files and previous research. Proof of internal migration is generally considered to be the type of evidence hardest to establish and easiest to misunderstand, but this work confidently identifies thousands of migrant Virginia ancestors and thousands more of their kinsmen, all of whom are easily located by reference to the comprehensive indexes."
