She was kind enough to lend me (MES) copies of this voluminous work, of which I made a copy, in the mid 1980's. Her sources are primarily straight from the courthouse records & primary sources mainly from Virginia, Kentucky, and Louisiana. She travelled the distance to the various courthouses and recorded & copied documents personally before the days of the internet. An excellent compilation of primary sources by a very diligent & highly competent genealogist.
