Colonial Caroline

Every family in Caroline County, every individual who has lived there or whose roots are planted in Caroline County and every collector of Virginian will want Colonial Caroline for complete information on the era it covers, for family genealogy, for fascinating reading. It is a “full history with as much emphasis on the Negro slave, indentured servants, artisans and small freeholders as on the large land-grants aristocrats.” The colonial era takes on life and color – often lusty and purple – in this treasure chest of characters that might have contributed to a novel by Charles Dickens.
