Rockingham County was formed out of Augusta County in 1778. This book consists of all the church records available for this region prior to the 19th century, beginning in the mid-1750s. It covers: Rőder's Church, Peaked Mountain Church, Friedens Church, St. Michaels Union Church, Trinity Lutheran Church, Smith's Creek and Linville (later Linville and still later Brock's Gap) Baptist Church. It also includes Marriages by the Rev. John Alderson, Jr.; and Marriages in Rockingham County (found in Virginia Valley Records by John Wayland). A full-name index adds to the value of this work.
