Good Morning,
Several of my Free Persons of Color ancestors lived and were indentured in Charles City County, VA and there is one ancestor who was indentured there in 1665 as a male infant who was admonished by the church and was to receive 30 lashes. The infant's mother was a Bristish indentured servant.  If anyone knows how I can find his name, please let me know.  My email is [log in to unmask]  I have copies of the original court records, but they are hard to read.
Thank you,
Gigi

Hello Everyone,

It is possible that there has been mention of this here, but if so I missed it and please accept my apologies for repetition.  This is unbelievably exciting for me as I have Bentleys, Egglestons, Weldons (possibly), Cloughs and others for whom Charles City is a genealogy black hole before they moved to Amelia County.

This article appeared in the Richmond Times Dispatch yesterday:

"Charles City records taken by Union soldiers during Civil War are now returned"

I would appreciate any comments from LVA folks, or a reference (date) to mention in a past email.

Thank you,

Janet Baugh Hunter
