Hello All, One must remember the contributions which many church denominations provided in the teaching of reading in their Sunday schools, Reading the Bible was one of the prime sources of instruction for both male and females.

Just remember..... Only the sons and young men went to these schools. The daughters were tutored at home by a governess. Women had no rights in those days. Here in N. C. there were a few boarding schools for wealthy girls scattered around.

Good information and sources, Morton, and thanks. You write, "My impression of the schooling in the eastern plantations of Virginia is that it was often done by tutors hired by families for their children. There is an interesting volume entitled Journal & Letters of Philip Vickers Fithian 1773-1774: A Plantation Tutor of the Old Dominion. This was republished in 1965. The Scotch-Irish in the Valley often had schools run by their ministers. There is a detailed description of the Augusta Academy at Fairfield, VA, later to become the Liberty Hall Academy, and eventually to become Washington and Lee University. This is by Dr. Samuel Campbell in the Southern Literary Messenger, Volume 4, Issue 6, June, 1838, pp. 361-367. The Lyburn Library of Washington and Lee University has a copy of this article. It may also be obtained from the University of Michigan Library on web page entitled Makers of America. > Morton H. Smith" **** In the 17th Century there really was very little education available for anyone, except for those with parents with the means to send their sons to England, hire "live-in" tutors, or pay local literates to teach their children in the rudimentary educational needs that life required. As for the poor, the principal sources were the parents and the "Old Field Schools", and even there, it was thought quite unnecessary for girls. In the latter, after the planting season when young men and boys were not called upon to work in the tobacco fields and on what we might call "farms" for a couple months till late summer and the harvest season, schools - places of instruction, better said - were "held" in cleared fields central to the settlements that not been planted because those had been exhausted of the minerals and nutrients needed for the usual crops. Those gatherings were taught by preachers, literate members of the community, elderly citizens, and here and men by traveling through. The "students" were instructed only in the most basic of educational needs. It was thought quite necessary that boys learn the basics of arithmetic in order that they could bargain, trade, buy and sell, manage the business of their crops, and otherwise enter upon the very limited commerce of that day. Similarly, those boys within a couple hours of travel time also had available there the basics of the language, the spelling, and a tad of writing instruction. Tragically by our standards, though then quite accepted and not at all remarkable, all but daughters of the affluent were provided no education in those same subjects. They were expected to learn what they needed from their immediate and expanded families and in church. Since almost no women engaged in commerce, it was not unusual if they could not do even the most basic calculations. As Bruce reminded us 100 years ago, we would be embarrassed by the grammar and knowledge of other than "women's things" by all wives, grown girls, and widows and spinsters. Paul

>From Pat in AZ comes these comments concerning sources and programs that reveal the genesis of counties. [ "....for example, if there is a reference to John Jones, "A" county, Kentucky, in 1845, and AniMap shows that the "area of interest" was, by 1845, "B" county, I will put John down as perhaps a cousin, or unrelated. If, on the other hand, a John Jones, who lived in "C" county in the 1860 census (my primary documentation at the time) is mentioned as in "B" county in 1845. AniMap shows me that in 1845, "C" county was part of "B" county. So, perhaps this is the same John. Another way I personally use "AniMap" is to "copy/paste" the maps into PhotoShop, and make them into hybrid maps to visually show my readers how the political subdivisions changed in a particular area. Here, in case someone hasn't posted it, is a great list of state and county formation sites and resources: http://jrshelby.com/hcl/.... Pat (in Tucson) ***** One more comment that all should remember about the shifting of county lines upon creation of a new county: Just as we do now, many citizens have lived near the county boundaries and paid little attention to where those lines were. They often attended a church that was close to their homes, no matter that it was in a different county, usually got married in the county in which the bride lived, no matter that she lived across the line, traded goods and bought and sold merchandise of every sort in that of the two (2) counties where the market was the most advantageous, very often enlisted in the armies in a neighboring county and were discharged there, worked wherever there were employment opportunities so long as the distance was not more than a couple miles, and generally had relationships with neighbors, again, no matter the lines. Finally, many routes for census takers necessarily ended at county lines, and so it was that the residences numbers of adjoining neighbors may have been in censuses taken and numbered by different enumerators. For these reasons, among many, it is imperative that all researchers seek the precise location - the "where" - of the homes of ancestors. That is done through deed and surveyor records, and, of course, through maps available in most every county. Paul

Hello Bertie Researchers, It has been a while since I posted anything to this site, and since we are having "new" researchers becoming a part of this group, I thought that I would toss out two items for discussion. I am a descendant of Alice Castello who was wife to William Hill; married ca 1750 in the Northumberland County Virginia area. I have not been able to locate anything about Alice's family, and couldn't help notice the mention of Pennice Rita "Penny" Castellow in one of the previous postings. Does anyone have information about the early generations of Castellow? Are there links to any Virginia ones? I am also a descendant of Miles and Fruzanna Wells/Wills of the Bertie area. I believe Fruzanna to be a daughter of John Perry and his second wife, the widow Sarah Moudlin Bond. John Perry died in 1760 but Fruzanna did not receive her part of her father's estate until 1761. This is approximately the time when my Miles and his Fruzanna were married. The given name of Fruzanna seems to have originated in this area with the Perry family; I have seen it used in the Freeman family and Brittain family, and perhaps in the Draughon family who were also in the Bertie area. I am hoping to locate a marriage record of some sort for Miles and Frusanna, which may only be found in a church record. Miles and she were very active in the Primitive Baptist Church, and I have wondered if the Perrys might have been Quakers, as the Primitive Baptists and Quakers had very similar doctrines and life styles. I would appreciate any discussion about this.
