Kentucky records for Boyle, Clark (8), Fleming (2), Garrard (12), Green (5), Harrison (3), Henry (4), Jessamine (7), Knox (1), Madison (23), Simpson (1), Union (41), Whitley (7) counties.
Virginia records for Louisa (23), Loudon (36), Orange (22), Prince William (9), and Stafford (13) counties.

North Carolina records for Guilford County (2 vols. 7-13).
The most exciting part of this purchase is a portion of the Draper Manuscripts. They include the following:
Kentucky Papers, Series CC, volumes 1-36 on 8 rolls
George Rogers Clark Papers, 64 volumes on 17 rolls
George Rogers Clark Misc. Papers, 5 volumes on 1 roll
