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
Who knew what lay ahead for that little newborn baby? I don't have any of myself until I was older. They didn't do hospital photos when I was born.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean Kristin. :)
DeleteThat's a shame you don't have any from when you were born. You are blessed to have so many beautiful photos though.
DeleteOh, my. Precious. Our daughter and her husband are expecting their first child in August. This picture makes we want to call my daughter and chat. Thank you for this photo!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! What an exciting time this must be for you. I hope you were able to catch up with your daughter.
