This ten-year supplement lists 10,000 titles acquired by the Library of Congress since 1976--this extraordinary number reflecting the phenomenal growth of interest in genealogy since the publication of Roots. An index of secondary names contains about 8,500 entries, and a geographical index lists family locations when mentioned.
William Copeland (1667-1720) was born in Middlesex County, Virginia. He moved from there to Chowan County, North Carolina and fathered seven children. One of his descendants was David Copeland (b.1730) who married Elizabeth Douglas and was the father of at least five children. Descendants moved to Tennessee, Alabama and other parts of the United States.
(From the Preface) “The author has attempted to show how the original five counties in 1812 were divided and sub-divided until, by 1862, 114 counties had emerged. Reynolds County at one time, at least in part, has been a portion of seven counties; Ste. Genevieve, Cape Girardeau, Washington, Wayne, Madison, Ripley, and Shannon.”
William Guest Sr. could have possibly been the son of one of the first "Guests" that came to America in 1638. He married Susannah? They had six sons. William and his family moved to North Carolina in 1769 and then to South Carolina in 1785. It is presumed that William died ca. 1790. Descendants and relatives lived in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, and elsewhere.
