Posted on: HALIFAX CO, VA QUERY FORUM Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Halifax/2345 Surname: Blackwell, Watkins, Coles, Moore ------------------------- Father born in (Alton) Halifax Co. on Aug. 31, 1901, son of Joseph Coles Blackwell and Hattie Watkins Moore Blackwell. I am interested in all of the above names. Specifically, I would like to know the connection with any family named Coles before 1850, assuming my grandfather's middle name came from a related family's name.
