Donald, thank you so much for the history of this book! I had drawn the conclusion that it was no longer available anywhere. Many other wonderful books fall into that category. I am going to see about checking into the interlibrary loan and view it that way. I really appreciate all the suggestions everyone has offered. If anyone is researching the name Burwell, this is a book they need to view! Mr. John did an exceptional job with his research. -----Original Message----- From: Wilson, Donald L Sent: Wednesday, November 16, 2011 7:55 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Burwell of King's Creek book The author, Paul John, lived at Baytown, Texas, when he published the book in 1982 [www.worldcat.org, which lists more than a dozen libraries in the United States which own the book]. The Social Security Death Index shows he was born 2 Sept. 1916 and died 19 June 1999 as a resident of Baytown. Unless a member of his family has a stash of the books, you will have to seek it on the resale market. Yes, ABE Books, Amazon, and other online sellers currently do not have it. (Probably it was printed in a very limited edition.) You may have to wait for years until one becomes available. You might try to borrow it on interlibrary loan through your local public library. Once you have it in your hands you have the option of copying the parts of the book of interest to you. Good luck. Donald L. Wilson, Virginiana Librarian, Ruth E.

I understand it is out of print but sometimes there are copies available from independent dealers. Burwell residents of King's Creek, a plantation in York County, Colonial Virginia, and Descendants of William Cocke The author is Paul John. And I checked Amazon and it was self published in 1982.
