Text Box: Questions? Text Box: The museum has received the following queries from across the nation on local history and genealogy. If you can provide any answers, please let us know. I am looking for any information about White Oak Fork Elementary School in Virgilina. Preston Royster I am a descendant of Col. Thomas Ligion and Samuel Pointer, born in 1752. The Pointer land was where the Dan and the Hyco Rivers meet. I am looking for the grave marker, supposedly down a dirt road possibly near Semora, N.C. I am told the land is now a State Park. Any information would be appreciated. Zelma Porter Is Rebecca Cohen listed in the 1900 census for Halifax County, VA, and are there any county or city directories for the 1890s which might list the Cohens? Rita Traub Does anyone have any suggestions for me in tracking down the parentage of William Oliver, born in 1773? Mimi Alexander I am trying to find who the parents of Nathaniel Pass were, born in Halifax County in 1732.
