Greetings list, How may I go about gathering historical info about the citizens of Princeville, a black town in Edgecombe? I didn't even know such a town existed until a I did a search. I need something more in depth besides just a general history. I found that there was a flood there in 1889 (as well as 1800, 1919, etc.). My ancestor Tom Knight left NC circa 1890, and settled in MS (the census shows other people from NC living close by ...they have other surnames that show in the Edgecombe census). One of the people in his household is widowed. Four of his children are not living. Maybe someone was lost in the flood? An old newspaper would be of great help, especially if people died in that flood. Thank you, ---Karmella Haynes __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
