Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/DU.2ADE/292 Message Board Post: My ancestor was born in Wilcox County in 1847. His mother died in 1852 and I never could find where the children went after her death. Then recently I found an obit on him and it says that he was sent to a boarding school growning up. Where would the closest boarding school be? Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
