Cunningham, Jr., on Thomas Jefferson; John J. Reardon on Edmund
Randolph; Albert J. Beveridge and Leonard Baker on John Marshall;
William Clarkin and Imogene E. Brown on George Wythe; Charles
Royster on Henry Lee; Harry Ammon on James Monroe; David John
Mays on Edmund Pendleton; and Oliver Perry Chitwood on Richard
Henry Lee. Brief biographies of the members of the Council of State
between 1776 and 1791 are in the fifth volume of the Journals of the
Council of State of Virginia (see above).
Two bibliographic aids, both edited by Earl Gregg Swem, have made
our work much easier: Virginia Historical Index, In Two Volumes (Roan-
oke, 1934), and "A Bibliography of Virginia, Part II," Bulletin of the
Virginia State Library, vol. X (Richmond, 1917). Also helpful were Mor-
gan Poitiaux Robinson, "Virginia Counties: Those Resulting from Vir-
ginia Legislation," ibid., vol. IX (Richmond, 1916), and Emily J. Salmon,
ed., A Hornbook of Virginia History (3rd ed., Richmond, 1983).
