I omitted to mention in my earlier note that I have been able to conduct my new research/writing about the Hairston families of Virginia thanks to a Fellowship (non-financial) from Virginia Humanities. The VH sponsorship has been crucial to carrying my work forward, and I'm grateful for Matthew Gibson's continuing support and encouragement.
