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,
> Craig Kilby
