The Scales family had a plantation south of Sempronious, and my great grandfather and his siblings attended that school, along with other children from as far away as Chappell Hill. In fact, several of the Scales children who attended that school eventually married classmates with names like Crump, Tapscott, Frances and Digges. Records also show that the Sempronius Community is where at least two of the Scales boys enlisted to fight for the Confederacy. Although your records show Church of God, the Scales were Methodists.
