This page collects links to articles about specific families (or surnames) present in Southwest Virginia prior to the Revolution. When I initially started this project I began working "cards" for specific individuals. I still do that some, but have found that the more effective approach is to collect data by surname, identify the family relationships, and then work out the cards for the individuals within that group. The focus remains on the settlement period through the end of the period of Indian Hostilities, but with a decided bias towards pre-revolutionary settlers. See also SWVP Format Issues.
