Items related to So Close From Home: The Legacy of Brownsboro Road
In 1774 Virginia surveyors divided eastern Jefferson County into 1000-acre tracts for speculators who bought up land rights George III's government awarded to French and Indian War veterans. By 1786 George Rogers Clark's family, William Croghan, Richard Taylor, Richard Terrell, Frederick Edwards, and those they enslaved, were beginning to develop that land. A decade later, John Herr and George Rudy, blacksmiths and farmers from Pennsylvania, settled here as well. So Close From Home: The Legacy of Brownsboro Road traces the multi-faceted story of this diverse community. The 512-page book has a 20-page index and comprehensive resource listing.
