Hampshire Countians who have written books, articles, or theses, include:

John C. Ailes - newspaper columns
Selden Brannen - "Historic Hampshire" the County Bicentennial Book

John J. Cornwall - former Governor; wrote newspaper columns
Vicki Bidinger Horton - several genealogy reference books
Blanche Harmison Kuykendall - a family history of the Charles Harmison (1823, IL) family

Maud Pugh - "The Capon Valley..." local and family history in the Capon Bridge area
Cheryl H. Singhal - "History of the Cresaps, 3rd ed" and newspaper articles
Wilmer L. Kerns, Ph.D., is technically not Hampshire Countian, but as a descendant of some early families in the county, he has written so extensively on the Capon Bridge area, it seems churlish not to include him.
