| Nottoway County was first inhabited by native American Indians of the Iroquoian nation tribe called Nadowa. The Nadowa lived along the County’s only river and the name of their tribe became associated with the area they inhabited. This name was Anglicized with the coming of English settlers to ‘Nottoway’. The area was visited by explorers and traders as early as 1650. English settlers began to populate the area in the early 1700’s, bringing with them their traditions and customs. Most of the land was claimed by the mid-1700’s and these early inhabitants operated self-sufficient farms and plantations, taking advantage of the area’s favorable topography and wealth of natural resources. Together with a substantial number of craftsmen and laborers from west Africa and continental Europe, the difficult task of frontier living produced an independent and resourceful population. Before the County established its own government, it was known as Nottoway Parish, a district of Amelia County. Nottoway Parish became Nottoway County by legislative act in 1788. The County, by virtue of its favorable location, contained numerous early crossroads settlements connecting the new western frontier with the population centers to the north and east. Railroad construction also followed early, first occurring around 1850. The County of Amelia is rich in history and her citizens take an active interest in her past. The County, named for Princess Amelia, daughter of George II of England, was created by a legislative act in 1734, and in 1735, it was created from Prince George and Brunswick Counties. Then, in 1754, Prince Edward County was formed from Amelia County, and later the County was reduced to its current size when Nottoway County was separated in 1789. During the Revolutionary War, in 1781, Amelia was raided by British forces under General Tarleton. The County was the site of one battle during the War Between the States, the “Battle of the Grove,” which was fought over control of the rail line in Nottoway (a line that served as a major supply line to General Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia). The County’s three towns were incorporated in the late 1800’s, all along what was to become the U.S. Highway 460/Norfolk Southern Railway corridor that bisects the County. Industrialization blossomed at the same time, exploiting the ease of moving raw materials in and finished products out. County manufacturing often utilized the area’s abundant natural resources, particularly agricultural products, timber, and wood products. The 20th century saw an increase in the diversification of the County in its agricultural, industrial and commercial sectors. This diversification created an economy and community that mirrored its citizen’s attitudes, skills, and talents. During this time, major state and federal facilities were created in the County. Fort Pickett, established at the outbreak of World War II, is noted as one the finest military training facilities in the east. Today, the county continues to enjoy a healthy diversity of people and economic interests. Small business has thrived, as evidenced by the vitality of its three towns. Nottoway manufacturing facilities produce a wide variety of goods. Throughout its history, Nottoway’s people have remained hard working, industrious and friendly. They are proud of the community that they and those who came before them have created. The future holds great promise for Nottoway County. Its close proximity to the growing edge of Virginia’s “Golden Crescent” will continue to create great opportunity for its “new settlers.” |
| Blackstone is a town in Nottoway County, Virginia, United States. The population was 3,675 at the 2000 census. Nearby Fort Pickett was established by the U.S. Army in 1941 and was a very large training center during World War II. It is now scaled down and used as a National Guard camp and is the location of one of the largest training grounds for the Army in the nation. The 2-year Blackstone Female Institute / Blackstone College for Girls also operated in Blackstone for many years, but was closed and is now used as the Virginia United Methodist Assembly Center (VUMAC). The village of Blacks and Whites dates back to the Revolutionary War, but its exact date is unknown. The name was derived from two rival tavern keepers, Mr. Schwartz and Mr. White. In German, Schwartz means black and therefore the crossroads came to be known as Blacks and Whites. On April 7 1829 , a Blacks and Whites Post Office was established. However, the name was changed to Bellefonte on May 11, 1875, so that it would be identical with the name of the Norfolk and Western Railroad Station. Then on August 4, 1882 , the town was renamed Blacks and Whites. At a meeting of the local citizens, Dr. Jethro Meriwether Hurt proposed the name Blackstone after Sir William Blackstone (1723-1780), who was an English jurist. On February 23, 1886 , the name of Blacks and Whites was changed to Blackstone. Blackstone was first incorporated on February 23, 1888 and the Town Manager form of government was adopted on June 1, 1914 . It became the thirteenth town in the United States to choose this form of government, which consists of a Mayor and seven councilmen elected every two years. |

| Surry County, Virginia one of the oldest regions settled in the New World lies only a brief ferry ride from Jamestown. Surry County is bounded by the north by the James River and is near major military, naval and research centers as well as 50 miles southeast of Richmond, the state capital. In spring of 1607, three tiny ships carried 104 men and boys from England to a mighty river they named James after King James I of England. They first landed beside a high bluff on the south side of the river near the present town of Claremont, Surry, where they visited the Quioughcohancock Indians. The settlers decided to build a fort on Jamestown Island and Jamestown became the first permanent settlement in British North America. By 1609 Smith's Fort was built on a high bluff on Gray's Creek, Surry, and Hog Island had settlers, hogs, and a fort. Surry separated from James City County in 1652 and became a huge county extending to the North Carolina border. Gradually other counties formed and great plantations and small family farms flourished as the colony prospered. Today Surry County remembers its past and looks toward the future. It is proud of its history, its natural beauty, and the hospitality of its citizens. The Pork, Peanut and Pine Festival began in 1976 as one of the four projects of the Surry County Bicentennial Committee. It was to commemorate the three main cash crops in Surry County. Earliest location is Anthony Morgan born in Surry County, VA. in 1654. |
| If you have any information to complete the family tree, to help verify or falsify, please contact Dr. Maurer at the link below. Right now we think William H. Morgan, could be our William Morgan born in Ava, Illinois in 1817. We suspect his father may be R.H. Morgan but right now we have no name. R.H. Morgan is listed on the 1830 Jackson County Men Subject To Do Militia Duty. Ava where William was born in 1817 is in Jackson County, Illinois. |

| The Colony of Virginia was the English colony in North America that existed briefly during the 16th century, and then continuously from 1607 until the American Revolution. The colony then became the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1776, one of the original thirteen states of the United States. Named for Queen Elizabeth I, who never married, the Virginia Colony was nicknamed "The Old Dominion" by King Charles II for its perceived loyalty to the English monarchy during the English Civil War. In 1584, Sir Walter Raleigh sent his first mission to the island of Roanoke (in present-day North Carolina) to settle. This was the first English settlement, although it is generally not accepted as the first permanent English settlement. In 1587, Raleigh sent another group to again attempt to establish a permanent settlement. The first English child born in the New World was named Virginia Dare. The expedition leader, John White returned to England for supplies that same year, but was forced to stay there because of the war between England and Spain. When he finally returned in 1591, he found the colony abandoned. The houses were intact, but the colonists had completely disappeared. There are a number of theories, but the facts regarding their fate remains a continuing mystery into the 21st century. This group of colonists whose fate is unknown has come to be known as the "Lost Colony". Dare County was named in honor of the baby Virginia Dare, who was among those whose fate is unknown. The London Company hired Captain Christopher Newport to head its expedition. In December 1606, he set sail from England with his flagship, the Susan Constant, and two smaller ships, the Godspeed, and the Discovery, with 144 men and boys, 40 of whom died while at sea. After an unusually long voyage of 144 days, they arrived at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, and came ashore at the point where the southern side of the bay meets the Atlantic Ocean, an event which has come to be called the "First Landing". They erected a cross, and named the point of land Cape Henry, in honor of Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales, the eldest son of King James. |
| One half to two thirds of all immigrants to Colonial America arrived as indentured servants. At times, as many as 75% of the population of some colonies were under terms of indenture. Even on the frontier, according to the 1790 U.S. Census, 6% of the Kentucky population was indentured. Search the Registers of Servants Sent to Foreign Plantations, 1654 - 1686 This database of indenture contracts includes over 10,000 indentured servants contracts from four different registers. The contracts indicate not only the servant's name and length of indenture, but also the name of the servant's parents and owner, his home province and city, occupation, destination, and ship of embarkation. These records provide a detailed composition of indentured servants in the 17th century Atlantic World.
