Robert Alonzo Brock and Virginia A. Lewis
Of enduring interest to the genealogist, fully two-thirds of the work is devoted to biographical
and genealogical sketches
of
eminent citizens of the Commonwealth.
The majority of Volume II, for example,  is comprised
of sketches of over a
thousand
prominent citizens who were alive at the time of the
book's original publication and
who were from the
Virginia
counties of
Campbell
, Pittsylvania,
Halifax
, Prince Edward,
Nottoway, Dinwiddie, Nansemond,
Norfolk
,
Elizabeth
City
,
Warwick
,
Washington
,
and the City of
Richmond
.
Almost all of these 19th-century luminaries are identified by date and place
of birth, name of spouse
and date of marriage, and the names of their children.
In many cases the ancestry is traced back for several generations.
