Angie, Carol, Patsy, etc........... My sister-in-law Dory found this awesome list! Check out the details below my message. If only it could have told us the age and parents of that Jonathon Egnor. This could be a brother to our Archibald or could it be Arch himself? He would have been 15 in 1826, that's school age though his age may be why he doesn't show up again. We have discussed before that perhaps Arch's name was really John, until we found out that John Jr. already had a son named John (aka Sly John). Would John Jr. name a child John and then name another child Jonathan? This list also gives us another child for Michael Siders--Andrew; I think we had Sally and Susan already. For the Erskines, James and Ellenor (Leake) Erskine did have a child named Adeline, but the age is off. And they also had a child John. They must have also had sons named Alexander and Henry unless someone wrote the wrong father down! Well, this gives us more questions than answers, but is still an exciting find! Way to go, Dory! --Celia :o) School Children, 1820-1830 - Monroe Co.

Most children attended school for 61 days per year. The tuition was $6-8 per child. The teachers were paid $1.80 per child. The original receipts are at West Virginia University in Morgantown.
