1. When the Past Refused to Die: A History of Caswell County North Carolina
2. The Heritage of Caswell County , North Carolina J eannine D. Whitlow, Editor (1985) (out-of-print). This is a traditional county heritage book, written by amateurs. However, it is one of the better of the genre produced because of the dedication of the editorial staff. It occasionally pops up in used book stores. If intrested, place a couple of want-list entries with online book sellers.

4. Katharine Kerr Kendall Abstracts (most are out-of-print but available at libraries).
Katharine Kerr Kendall and her sister Mary Frances Kerr Donaldson had deep Caswell County (Yanceyville) roots and devoted untold hours to abstracting and indexing various Caswell County public records (such as court records, deeds, marriage records, and wills). Set forth below is a list of these valuable resources. While out-of-print from time to time, most periodically are reprinted and also may be found through Internet used book vendors. Reference versions of many of these publications are available at the Richmond-Miles History Museum and the Gunn Memorial Public Library (both in Yanceyville, North Carolina).

______________
Note that several of the following sources may seem inappropriate for this list. However, Caswell County once was part of Orange County, and Person County once was part of Caswell County. The relevance of North Carolina-wide materials is obvious. Also, the list is alphabetical by title, with no attempt to order as to relevance to Caswell County. If you have a question about any of the following please ask the CCHA.
