There are certainly other families of significance that do not occur on the list that follows this page. To those families, apologies are in order. Those residents who agreed when approached are the ones that appear. Families with the surnames of Callahan (Callaghan), Davis, Dent, Donald, Gordon, Hall, Leonard, Martin, Smith, Swartzel, Tyler, Whitt, and Witt have been important contributing members of the southern Botetourt communities of Coyner Springs, Webster, Blue Ridge, and Laymantown.

Roanoke County Register of Free Negroes, 1838-1865
subject: Genealogy
description: This register includes those individuals who registered as free persons of color in Roanoke County, Virginia from 1838-1865. Two versions are included; one captured from microfilm of the records from the Library of Virginia; the other a transcription of the handwritten records. As with any transcription, there are undoubtedly errors from the attempt to decipher handwritten records and with any genealogical records, there are likely misspellings on the original record.
