People who played a role in the development of the county are the mainstays of this book. Genealogists will be delighted with the coverage given to Augustine Herman of Bohemia Manor and will also welcome the sketches of such early families as: Alexander, Carroll, Van Bibber, Leslie, Hall, Churchman, Evans, Mitchell, Mauldin, Gilpin, Rudulph, Rumsey, Hyland, Defoe, Ramsay, and Hartshorne.
