    3. Greetings, I am looking for information on Henrietta Plenty b. abt 1873. In 1900 In Halifax Co. VA, Henrietta was a servant in the home of Edgar Walker. Henrietta had a daughter Annie b. abt 1895 living with her. Henrietta m. Daniel Chappell, Nov 10, 1910 in Halifax County VA. Here is some info I have: In the 1870 Census, Halifax County, Roanoke, page 35, line 5, Plenty, Henry 40y male Bl born VA Plenty, Susan 35y female bl born VA Plenty, Lewis 10y male bl born VA Plenty, Abram 7y male bl born Va Plenty, Charlotte 60y female bl born VA ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- In the 1880 Census, Halifax County, ED 123, Plenty, Henry head 50y old Widower Plenty, Lewis son 20y Plenty, Abraham Son 19y Plenty, Samuel son 12y Plenty, Isaac son 10y Plenty, Henrietta dau 7y Plenty, Sarah dau 6y Plenty, Fannie dau 2y ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- In the 1900 Census, Halifax County, Banister District, line 1, I found: Walker,-------Edgar---------head---white---male----dec 1866--33y--married-----3years---all---va Sallie---f.-----wife-----white---female--apr--1870--30y--married----3years-- --2 children-1 alive Louise--w----daughter--white--female--jan --1899---1y--single Plenty,--------Henrietta------servant--black---female--apl-1870--30y---wid-- ----1 child----1 alive Annie-----------her daughter--bl Female--jan-1895--5y---single Even though Henrietta apparently had a child before she m. Daniel Chappell, Henrietta might not have married to the father of her child Annie.. I am told that it was a common practice for a widow to take back their Maiden name after becoming a widow, so this may be why Henrietta was using the Plenty name in 1900. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- Henrietta m.
