Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By: Lyndon H. Hart III, Pub. 1983, Reprinted 2016, 182 pages, Index, ISBN #0-89308-325-9. Surry County was created in 1652 from James City County. Due to the lost of court records of many surrounding counties, such as Charles City, Dinwiddle, James City, and Prince George, the records of Surry county take on a more profound importance because of the early movement across county lines and the James River. This book contains not only wills of individuals, but also guardians and administrators bonds; bastardy, apprentice, trustees, sheriffs and treasurers bonds, and inventories of estates. The names of approximately 7,000 persons are found in these legal records of this important county.
Download or read book John Chavis written by Helen Chavis Othow and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2001-01-31 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Chavis had a profound impact upon the history of North Carolina, the life of African Americans, and the course of religion in America. Born in 1763, Chavis fought in the American Revolution and studied at Princeton, becoming the first black person ordained as a missionary minister in the Presbyterian church. Many of those who learned from his teachings were white, and many of the students in his Latin grammar school were the sons of prominent North Carolinians. His lifelong relationship with his students created connections with some of the most powerful individuals of the nineteenth century, and his religious writings can still stir the soul more than 150 years after his death. Chavis's story illustrates the power of faith, intelligence, and determination to overcome the precariousness of life for a free black man in this era. This account of Chavis's life, the result of research by one of his descendants, presents a thorough examination of his life, his work, and the world in which he lived. Also included is the full text of John Chavis's Letter Upon the Doctrine of the Extent of the Atonement of Christ (1837), long considered lost by many of his biographers.
