"The data contained in this publication are based on the personal letters, documents, and sheriff receipt book of Colonel Richard Holland Gilliam. Some of the papers are personal in nature; most relate to his activities as Deputy Sheriff of Buckingham Couuty." -- Introd.
"The following workbook of Gillam charts is the result of eight years of publication of the magazine, Gillams galore, a newsletter for the variations of the Gillam surname (Gilliam, Gillum, Gilham, Gillham, etc.). It is a combination of information supplied by various researchers and census, IGI, and other information which was readily available to the compiler ..." Gillams (and variant spellings) families lived throughout the United States and Canada, as early as the 1700s to the present.
Probably the finest genealogical record ever compiled on the people of ancient Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, this work consists of extensive source records and documented family sketches. Collectively, what is presented here is a veritable history of a people--a "tribe" of people--who settled in the valley between the Yadkin and Catawba rivers more than two hundred years ago. The object of the book is to show where these people originated and what became of them and their descendants. Included among the source records are the various lists of the Signers of the Mecklenburg Declaration; Abstracts of Some Ancient Items from Mecklenburg County Records; Marriage Records and Relationships of Mecklenburg People; List of Public Officials of Mecklenburg County, 1775-1785; First U.S. Census of 1790 by Districts; Tombstone Inscriptions; and Sketches of the Mecklenburg Signers. The work concludes with indexes of subjects and places, as well as a name index of 5,000 persons. (Part III of "Lost Tribes of North Carolina.")
