Earl Bell, the new coordinator for Nash County, joined the NCGenWeb project. Earl is a retired history teacher and has deep roots in Nash County. Both of Earl’s parents are from Nash county and his maternal grandfather owned three stores in the area. His paternal grandparents were among the founders of the Oak Level Baptist Church,. No doubt, Earl will have lots to contribute to the site!
At the end of October, a redesigned version of the site was launched and since that time, Earl has been quite busy adding original content. Highlight of some of the information he’s added include:
- illegitimate children mentioned in county court records from 1787-1835
- African-American surnames in the 1870 census of Liberty township
- Civil War Troops in the 47th Infantry, Company A
The new site can be viewed at http://www.ncgenweb.us/nash – check it out!
