    Morton's
    Monroe County
    comprises both a sourcebook of genealogical data and a group-family record , with slightly
    greater detail marshaled in the sourcebook section. A significant portion of the work, nevertheless, is devoted to the
    general history of the county, explaining, in the customary manner, when, how, and why the county was settled and
    tracing the various phases of its development.
    The group-family portion of the book, occupying a full third of the text, carries the lines of descent far enough down
    to enable the present generation to recognize relationships. An abundance of available data, coupled with the desire
    to set forth the family histories of as many county residents as possible, compelled the author to employ a compact
    form of narrative.
    This "skeletal" history, embracing all vital and ascertainable facts, has the virtue of precluding biographical
    embellishments, and at once puts before the researcher all that he needs to know of several hundred families and
    many thousands of related individuals. All families discussed in this section are indexed alphabetically for easy
    reference. The remainder of the book is comprised of genealogical source materials
    .
    As chapter headings give a fair indication of the contents, we might list here some of the most important: Records
    of Greenbrier County; Surveys and Patents; Early Land Conveyances; Chronological Abstracts from the County
    Records; Monroe County Baptists; Presbyterians; Methodists; Military Officers; Soldiers in Dunmore's War, the
    Revolution, War of 1812, and the Civil War; County Officials; Monroe County Voter's List; and the Censuses (i.e. tax lists)
    of 1782 and 1789.
    The
    county
    discussed in this volume is one of the sixteen named in honor of the fifth president of the United States.
    The others lie in Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New
    York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. The
    Monroe
    of West Virginia lies so far south in its own state
    that it lacks only 10 miles of reaching as far in that direction as McDowell, which is the southernmost
    county.
    The bordering counties are Greenbrier, Summers, Mercer, Alleghany, Craig, and Giles. The first three lie in West
    Virginia and the last three in Virginia.
    The county does not contain a four lane highway or a stoplight.
    Bonus#1 –

    Bonus#2 –
    Red Sulphur Springs Guidebook
    Published 1860 by Dr. Wm. Burke, 26 pages
    Extols the physical and medical benefits derived from using the miraculous waters. Describes the facility and history of the springs.
    "
    These springs are situated in Monroe County, 42 miles from White Sulphur, 39 miles from the Sweet Springs, 17 miles from Salt Sulphur, and
    38 miles from the Depot, on the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, known as Newbern, but recently named
    Dublin.
    Passengers arriving here from North, South, East or "West, are met by a line of coaches that will convey them, over a fine road, and most
    picturesque country, to the Springs, all the way by daylight — an important advantage to invalids. The proprietors assure me they will make
    ample provision to convey travelers without delay, or imposition, and that arrangements shall be made for through tickets from and to all the
    cities of the Union.
    The present proprietors are Thomas S. Campbell, Isaac H. Campbell and Addison Dunlap, under the firm and name of Thomas S. Campbell & Co."
