Amanuensis Monday: Charity Ambrose Deed to Mt. Olive Methodist Church
At last, some genealogy right?!! LOL. I decided to jump back into things with an Amanuensis Monday post. I have to thank a fellow genealogy friend of mine who helped me out a couple of months ago, Nathaniel Glasgow. He brought to my attention a deed which documents the sale of about an acre land from a woman named Charity Ambrose to the trustees of Mt. Olive AME Zion Church in Riverdale, NC. Guess who's listed among the trustees. My maternal 3rd great grandfather and his son, Mortimer and Alfred Mitchell. State of North Carolina} Craven County This deed made this 6th day of November in the year 1893 by Charity Ambrose of the first part of Craven County, and Mortimer Mitchell, Charles F. Hall, Anthony Dennis, Edward Hooker, Killis Green, David Sampson, Phillis Borden, Ezekial Pastuer, and A. F. Mitchell of Craven County and State of North Carolina of the second part , Trustees of the Mt. Olive Church, African Methodist Episocpal Zion Church in America of No. 6
Adorable baby pictures with grandma.
ReplyDeleteThanks Yvette. I think of her constantly. Such a sweet lady.
ReplyDeleteStunningly beautiful photos of a very happy and proud grandmother. Thanks for sharing... "warms the cockles of my heart" :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much.
Deleteawwww... looks like you are talking up a storm to your grandmother. Don't you hate the way early color photos turn color?
ReplyDeleteHi Kristin. Yes it is a shame how old color photos change color. I noticed the other day the one of me and my grandma had become discolored in the sun and had started to crack in a couple of spots. I quickly scanned it and fixed it up the best I could on photo-shop.
DeleteCharming pictures of your grandmother with the grandchildren. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda!
