More than a decade of research compiled here provides the first comprehensive, documented account of hundreds of the descendants of Captain James Blount, an early settler on North CarolinaÕs Albemarle Sound. This book and its companion volumes answer many long-debated questions concerning the wife and children of Captain Blount and provide fascinating accounts, documents and photographs of Blount descendants for almost three hundred years. The book, part of a three volume set, contains dozens of photographs, hundreds of notes providing sources and additional information, and an every-name index. See Preview pages for Table of Contents. The author, Beverley A. Ramsey, long-time family researcher, former teacher and now a practicing attorney, is a descendant of Captain BlountÕs son John through his daughter, Esther Blount Worley.
