This is for Gwen Stuart about her discovery of no surname HEATH in
Myrtle Bridges' book OUR NATIVE HEATH: 

Gwen, a HEATH is an expanse of land covered with shrubs and heather,
like a moor. When Myrtle calls her book Our Native Heath, she is evoking
recollection of the moors of our Scottish ancestral lands. I own a copy
of her book and it is a grand book, filled cover-to-cover with record
extracts of the many families of Richmond Co., NC; much hard work went
into gathering these records. Those of us who are of the many many
surnames (other than your HEATH that apparently wasn't in there) are
ever grateful for Myrtle's great work. Her book is a (very reasonably
priced jewel) and will be passed down through my own families for
generations to come.
