From its establishment in 1745, Augusta County, Virginia served as a haven for Scotch-Irish, German, and, to a lesser extent, English immigrants who failed to find economic opportunity or religious freedom in the colonial settlements along the Middle Atlantic coastline. This little known but important work contains detailed genealogies of the twenty families mentioned in the title of the work, who settled in that region of "old western Augusta" that today encompasses Bath and Highland counties, Virginia. In addition to the family histories, the compiler has provided introductory chapters on the history of German and Scotch-Irish settlement to the region; a table of family members who fought in the Colonial, Revolutionary, and Civil Wars, and a full name index with approximately 10,000 entries.
It's been said that life is like a dark night in a cheap hotel. The world is just plain crazy! That makes miracles, angel appearances, and answers to prayer even more amazing! God Is in the Crazy invites the reader to witness how God can suspend laws of time and space in order to save us from dangers and bestow blessings. If you've felt broken and desperate, forsaken and faithless, the many miracles of this book will give you hope. After the author's journey through drug and alcohol abuse, and his seasons in what the Bible calls "the waste howling wilderness" of life's trials and heartaches, his hope in God has never stopped growing. This book will help you find refuge and strength during similar times in the wilderness! And while God's ways are often inscrutable, you'll gain insights into why faith in Him is never in vain. You'll learn how "God draws straight with crooked lines," the advantages of "downward mobility," and how "the wilderness equals power." Along with reflections on ways to receive deep peace, God Is in the Crazy will help you walk more confidently into your fulfilling destiny!
