These are the sources I am using:
Should I contact one of the pre-1700 projects or know about any style guidelines before proceeding? Thank you!
Hi Philip,
Your suggested source, family history, is ideally backed up with corroborating evidence from other sources. Note that family history would be sourced as shown here under second-hand information.
We have the Virginia Project for work on Virginia profiles (pre or post 1700), please join us if you have an interest in Virginia:
Please see our page for sourcing Virginia profiles here:
Here is info on John Patton's death county:
Please feel free to add more sources to the Augusta page if you have them for that county.
Thanks.
