Originally published serially in the Lincoln Times from June 1935 to November 1936, these historical annals list early Lincoln County settlers and Revolutionary War soldiers and pensioners, with biographical sketches of prominent citizens and year-by-year summaries of the prominent events in the county's history from 1749 to 1937. Genealogists will delight in Sherrill's Annals, for it is brimming with names. In a number of instances, the biographical sketches are laced with pedigrees; in others, with lists of offspring or ancestors gleaned from cemetery inscriptions.
