After an illuminating account of the history of Patrick and Henry counties, which occupies the first third of the book, the authors turn their attention to genealogy, providing authoritative histories of no fewer than 110 families. The genealogies generally begin with the first settler in either Patrick or Henry County and proceed to enumerate descendants in several generations, providing incidental detail according to the materials available. In addition to the remarkable collection of genealogies, the book also contains transcriptions of important genealogical source materials, such as the Patrick and Henry land grants and patents registered in the old Land Office in Richmond.

Formed in 1790, Patrick County is named for the Commonwealth of Virginias first governor, Patrick Henry, who lived in neighboring Henry County. Located along the border of North Carolina where the Blue Ridge Mountains of the Appalachian Range cross the state line, the Free State of Patrick is half piedmont and half mountain plateau. This dividing geographic feature is reflected in the mountain people of Scots-Irish and German descent along with English living below the mountain heights. This divergent population produced tobacco magnate R. J. Reynolds; Civil War general J. E. B. Stuart; Virginia governor Gerald Baliles; Virginias highest-elected female, former attorney general Mary Sue Terry; and World Series pitcher Brad Clontz.

Birth records are an important research area for genealogists. Although Patrick County was formed from Henry County in 1791, birth records were not recorded for the county until 1853. This four-volume series contains abstracted records from the register at the Patrick County Courthouse, Stuart, Virginia, which provide name, date of birth, race, sex, and parents' names.
