This is a very interesting book on the early history of the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Though there were Nocks in New England early in the colonial period, most Nocks in America can trace their families to Accomack {Accawmacke} County, Virginia. Click on the link below to read online.

As you may know, the Eastern Shore Public Library in Accomack, Virginia is a great resource for information on the history and culture of the Eastern Shore of Virginia and Maryland. I have spent time there in person, as well as online. The folks there have provided much help and support to Nock Family Heritage over the past fifteen months. Well, they have recently added this website to the Genealogy Research section of their site. We feel honored that they have found us worthy enough to be a part of the “family” at ESPL.
