He is a past president of the NC Public Library Directors Association. He is married to Alicia Dees Taylor and they are the parents of two children, now grown. The historical society will meet on Saturday, August 1 at noon at the Rose Hill Restaurant in Rose Hill in the Tar Heel Room. The meeting is open to the public. Lunch is optional.

New Book: "The Descendants of Owen Dogharty of the north of Ireland" Complied by Donna J. Hart Donna Hart of Illinois will be in North Carolina to deliver pre-ordered copies of her recently published book documenting the history of the descendants of Owen Dogharty from the north of Ireland. Many live in Craven County, generally spelling their last name as Daugherty, while many others live in Lenoir County, generally spelling their last name as Daughety. Others left this area and migrated to the west as early as the 1790s. Donna has spent countless hours during the past ten years in libraries, courthouses, and archives in several states and in Ireland doing the research necessary to trace the descendants of one of her own ancestors. She will be at the Cove City Public Library in Craven County on July 17 from 2 - 6 p.m. and in the fellowship hall at the British Chapel OFWB Church in the Sand Hill community of Lenoir County on July 18 from 1 - 5 p.m. In addition to the pre-ordered copies which she will be delivering, Donna will also have more copies with her to sell while she is here. Come by to see her in the library or at the church! This will be a great opportunity for you to acquire your own copy of the 1200 page volume, The Descendants of Owen Dogharty of the north of Ireland, Complied by Donna J. Hart, without incurring the extra expense of having it shipped to you later. http://www.hartheaded.com/books/

In 1860 the following census list the following: E A Best 48 Mary A Best 38 Wm T Best 18 Virginia A Best 14 R A Best 16 Julia A Best 6 Judson Best 7 Robert A. Best was the eldest son of E.A. Best, a Baptist preacher, and Mary A. Best of Lenoir County, North Carolina, and in the 1860 census his age was recorded as 16. Robert A. Best enlisted as a 3rd Sergeant in Captain Whitaker's Company (known as the Goldsboro Volunteers) of the 9th Regiment North Carolina Volunteers on 15 April 1861 at Goldsboro, North Carolina. The infantry company would subsequently be designated Company D of the 4th Regiment of North Carolina State Troops. Best was promoted to 2nd Sergeant on 21 October 1861. In September of 1862 Best was taken prisoner at Middletown (Maryland), and on 2 October 1862 was sent to Aiken's Landing to be exchanged. After being parole as a prisoner, Best was admitted to Moore Hospital (General Hospital #24) in Richmond. At the time, he was a 1st Sergeant, and in April of 1863 Best was promoted to 1st Lieutenant. On 3 May 1863 Best was killed in action at Chancellorsville, Virginia. First Lieutenant Robert A. Best was buried in Shockoe Hill Cemetery on 17 May 1863, the interment book entry reading, "Robert A. Best, 18 yrs., Killed in Battle, Lieut." Lt. R.A. Best is buried in an unmarked grave. I'm trying to locate a descendant so that a Gov't headstone might be ordered and installed.
