Can anyone tell me where Blackwater College is or was in the mid to late 1800's. I have an ancestor, b. 1874, who m.1898, attended and graduated from Blackwater with a music degree. In the 1880 census, her family was residing in Nottoway Co., Va. Thank you Pat C. Johns in Va.

Pat, I did a quick search of the internet with little success. I did find an article from 2002 about a Women's rugby match where East Carolina University traveled to Farmville, VA and played a game again Blackwater College, followed right afterward with a game against Longwood College. I found Longwood University located in Farmville, but nothing more on Blackwater. Farmville is in Prince Edward County which is adjacent to Nottoway County. Good luck.
