Harold Godwineson was king of England from January 1066 until his
death at Hastings on 14th October of that year. Although he was not
the only candidate for the succession to the childless King Edward
the Confessor, Harold had a far stronger claim than William of
Normandy to the throne. For much of the reign of Edward the
Confessor, who was married to Harold's sister Edith, the Godwine
family, led by Earl Godwine, had dominated English politics. In The
House of Godwine Emma Mason tells the turbulent story of a
remarkable family which, until Harold's unexpected defeat, looked
far more likely than the dukes of Normandy to provide the long-term
rulers of England. But for the Norman conquest, an Anglo-Saxon
England ruled by the Godwine dynasty would have developed very
differntly from that dominated by the Normans.

The First Census of the United States (1790) comprised an
enumeration of the inhabitants of the present states of
Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, and
Virginia. Unfortunately, during the War of 1812, when the British
burned the Capitol at Washington, the returns for several states
were destroyed. However, the census records for North Carolina
survived and were available for this 1908 publication. In March
1790, North Carolina had a population of 393,751, out of the
Nation's total population of approximately 3,920,000. The
information provided in this census includes the Name of Head of
Family, the number of free white males of 16 years and upward in
the household, the number of free white males and under living in
the household, the number of free white females, all other free
persons, and the number of slaves. Populations are also recorded
for Towns and Counties.
The Civil War as well, as time, took its toll in all counties of
the South. The War of 1812 saw the destruction of the 1790 census
of Virginia, as well as other states, and the Civil War resulted in
many burned records throughout the South. Fortunately, though many
of the will books containing copied wills were burned, many of the
original documents often survived the destruction. The records
contained in this publication include: Wills: From 1750s to 1860;
Deeds, Leases, Mortgages and Other Instruments: To 1800; Marriage
Records 1824-1828; State Census 1782 and 1784; and Revolutionary
War pensioners in Hampshire County, 1835. The index, which contains
approximately 11,000 entries, has been carefully compiled and while
all has been alphabetically arranged in the body of the book, every
name appears in the index. Additionally, all married women are
listed under maiden name as well as their married name, where this
information could be determained. Paperback, (1939), 2006, 2011,
Index, 174 pp.
