Hello, I am new to the list. I wonder if anyone could advise me about African American sources for information. I am looking for Church records, Census, & Cemetery records. I wonder if there is a register for the Vine Oak Cemetery on Granville Street that is more recent than the one done by the DAR in the 1930's. Is there anyone in Edenton that might have this register? I am also particularly interested in the Hawkins Chapel Church register and Cemetery Records. Two people that I am researching were burried there without tombstones.....no dates....unless the church has records. Have marriage records been published for African Americans in Chowan County? How can I obtain a copy? I have an 1850 census which has only "White families" listed. Can someone tell me if there is an 1850 & 60 census published with the Negro's included? If anyone has this, I would consider it a great favor if you would do a lookup for me. I'm looking for Shepard Brown or Brownrig b about 1847. Anything that you can share with me about African American Research in this county would be greatly appreciated. Alice Griffin
