Alvis Jesse Bynum, the founder, along w another gentleman, of the burning court house in Pittsboro, NC, was g grandson of old Luke Bynum and his wf., Martha Patterson, dau. of one of the first 8 justices of old Orange Co. Alvis was marr, to Susan HEADEN, dau. of Aaron Gaston Headen, merchant along w his son in law, Alvis, and Mary Edwards Rives, also of Chatham Co. Aaron attended brand new Wake Forest at the age of twelve! Susan (Headen) Bynum was a sister of my great grandmother, Fannie Harris Headen, wf. of merchant and banker of Chapel Hill,, Robert Lee Strowd of Strowd Hill, East Franklin St. in Chapel Hill....my grandfather, Bruce Strowd's parents. Alvis had interviewed one of his Bynum uncle's years ago, in the late 1800's, concerning his ancestor, Luke Bynum.... UNCLE SAID THAT THE BYNUM'S WERE "GAME AND PLUCKY"...let's hope this helps in the minds of the good Chatham folks toward the reconstruction of this handsome and historical building.

Does anyone know where the records, etc. for what is now Chatham Co. are for the period between 1754 and 1800? My ancestor Thomas Hart reportedly lived in what is now Chatham Co. when it was still Orange Co. from 1754/5 until his death, but he was born abt. 1685/6 and died before 1786. Thanks.

The 11:00 news just stated that the Chatham History Museum on the first floor of the court house has been destroyed by the fire that has been raging all evening and night. The building was built in 1881 and is a major loss. Carol
I heard that the Chatham County Historical Society had a vault-like room in the courthouse. The mayor was hoping that that room might be okay.

Chatham Co. Superior Judge, Carl Fox, said most files are kept in the annex across the street. Unless they were needed for today's proceedings. However he did express concern about any "old files" locked in the basement.

When I attended a program at the Southeast Region in Atlanta GA a year or two ago, they said that the World War I draft registrations were scheduled for transfer to St. Louis sometime after that new facility becomes available for use. The plan is that eventually ALL military personnel records will be centralized there. (That is, the plan at the time of the event I attended.)
