26 Oct 2009	Query		Rebecca Emilson <rebeccaemilson@yahoo.com		I am trying to find information on an abandoned school in Sampson Co. I tried to find something online, but I did not find much, so now I decided to find someone to ask about it. We were visiting my in-laws in Dunn this weekend and we drove past it and I was very curious about it since I love old buildings and anything historic. We went back the next day and took some pictures of it and I just wanted to find out the history behind it. If you don't already know what school I am talking about, it is on Hwy 701 next to Halls Fire Dept. I did find the information on it being used by Tarheel Challenge in the 90s, other than that I could not find anything out. Can you help me? I would like to know anything about it. When was it built? When did it close? Name? What was it used for? And anything else you could tell me if you know. If you cannot help me, can you direct me to someone who can? Also, as a side note, we also passed a huge brick home that was being overtaken by weeds and it had also fallen in on itself, but still looked beautiful. I believe it was on 421 at a crossroads south of Clinton. Can you tell me anything about this place?

	Brick Wall	West	Alice WEST Ferguson		West Brickwall: Slave: Sampson County, NC. Silas West b. abt. 1832, NC, d. April 4, 1904, parents are UNK. Silas m. Winifred (Winnie) Barefoot, b, abt, 1845, Southern Division, Meadows Township, Johnston Co, NC. Silas and Winnie died in Westbrook Township, Sampson County, NC. Birth and death Certs. were not issued until 1913, so we have nothing on Silas as far as documentation. So Silas was about 72 years old when he died. The Census has his birth from 1826 to 1832, we are not sure, most people use 1832. I have found death Certs. where some of my relatives were buried in the Kirby West Col'd Cemetery. My father showed us where is was when he was alive, but it is now defunct (grown over or crops planted there). I do have Benjamin's death Cert. It says Loyd/LLoyd West raised him, but mother's name is missing. Silas'brother, Benjamin West was b. abt 1843 d. 1916 Guilford County, NC. Ben was 85 when he died, but there is a discrepancy in the birth year. Both brothers were married and had children. Some of the children moved to GA, PA and some stayed in NC and others move to different counties in NC. We have taken the WEST DNA test. We matched 5 other West families. We (6 West) families matched 25 markers out of 25 perfectly. All West Family ancestors and descendants that we matched are: James West b, 1725, NC, son, Willie West, b. 1755, gson Loyd/Lloyd West, b. 1799, both NC James West b. 1798, SC>TN>MS>TX Silas West b, abt, 1832, NC>GA>PA, etc ( Only one who was Mulatto) Isom/Isham b, 1827, TN Edwin Jackson West b. 1836, AL>ARK>AR Johnie West b. 1870, MS We are in contact with each other but have not connected fully yet.
