Subject: [VA-HIST] Help with a footnote, Virginia Secession Conventions
> Friends,
>
> I need help with a minor detail in a footnote to the article I am writing
> on the Kelley brothers emancipation of their 44 slaves in Northumberland
> County, and their subsequent journey to Liberia. This footnote deals
> with letters from one Randal Kilby to attorney John Richardson Kilby of
> Suffolk, Nansemond County, Virginia. Here is how I have it written, but
> there is a nagging detail, the answer to which I cannot find by simply
> using the internet:
>
> 60 Kilby Family Papers, Library of Virginia Archives Collections,
> Correspondence 1856-1859, Box 5, Folder 13. Kilby was also a delegate
> from Nansemond County to the 1861 Virginia Secessionist Convention, where
> he voted with the majority in opposing secession on April 4, 1861.
>
> I find conflicting information on whether Kilby was present at the
> convention of 17 April 1861 which voted to seceed, in response to
> Lincoln's call for 8,000 troops to surpress the rebellion. One source
> says he was absent, another says he voted in favor. Kilby (no relation)
> was an attorney in Suffolk with close ties to the American Colonization
> Society.
>
> Any help on this specific footnote would be greatly appreciated.
>
> Thank you in advance,
