Has anyone done research on: Robert, Obediah, William and Abraham Chappell
who appear on the 1810 Tax rolls for Lincoln CO, GA? All except Robert,
appear later on the Walton CO, Census.
I would appreciate any feedback on any research or thoughts you might have on
these men. I believe them to be a part of my family, Robert as possibly the
father, and the others as his sons.

Greetings,
I am repeating a previous offer.
I have a book sent to me as a gift by a friend who found it while passing
through Halifax County Va.
The book is titled:
"The History of the Education of Black Citizens in Halifax County: 1866-1969."
The book was written by W. C. Edwards (W. C. Edwards, served as
Principal of the school from 1934 to 1966),
Preston M. Royster, and Lazarus Bates, (Lazarus followed W. C. Edwards as
Principle).
The book was published in 1979 by Bannister Press, Springfield, VA.
It was purchased at:
South Boston Historical Museum,
801 N. Main Street, South Boston, Va. 24592
Tel--- 804-572-9200.
The book is soft cover, cost abt $6, + shipping, and contains 261 pages,
I have no connection with this book---- you pays your money, and you takes
your chances. I am giving this info only because someone might be able to use
it.
The book contains some history on black education in Halifax Co. Va.
Chapter 2 in the book gives some history on the earliest black schools,
such as:
1. The Antrim Church and Mission School, founded abt 1877.
2. McKinley Institute largley remembered as the Meadville School,
founded in 1893 by a Jamacian, Professor Caleb G. Robinson.
3. Williams Normal and Industrial Institute, aka Williams Normal and
previously known as the South Boston (VA) Institute, established prior to
1900.
4. Mizpath Elementary School founded prior to 1912.
5. The School In The Backyard, A one room school started in his back
yard by Rev. Parham B. Ragland.
--------
Chapter 4 mentions
1. Booker T. Washington High School 1930-1948 , serving only South Boston
Va.
later merged with Halifax Training School. The names of the five
Principals of Booker T. are given.
2. Halifax Training School 1920-1956, The names of the five principals are
given.
The name was changed in 1956 to Mary M. Bethune High School 1956-1969
======
There are names in the book of graduates from the all black
"Halifax Training School," later renamed
"Mary M. Bethune High School."
The years for which graduates names are printed are, 1936 through 1969.
In chapter 8 of the book are "SUCCESS STORIES," giving some history of
graduates after they left the Halifax Schools.
This book also gave names of the persons on the teaching staff,
information on the years they taught, types of certificate or degree
they held, the College/University they attended, subjects they were
authorized to teach, taught, and period of employment.
I will do lookups of Graduates, and Staff.
In order to avoid clogging up the list for those not interested,
I will not answer requests posted to this list.
Send your request to me privately at:

Larry.
Please delete my e-mail address from your address book. Thank you!
