I’ve been working on organizing my seemingly endless genealogy files lately, and came across images I had taken of microfilm (or microfiche?) at the Craven Regional Library back in 2011. Unfortunately, I didn’t note the reels these came from, but I’m including the images at the bottom of this page, along with a transcription immediately below.
Based on the fact that I also took a series of images that immediately followed this that comprised the 1841 School Census and the 1842 School Census, I’m thinking this might have been 1840, although I’d welcome any information from anyone who might know specifically what year this covers.
This list is different than other lists in that it actually names the heads of the families along with the children they enrolled.
In conformity with the twelfth section of an act of the General Assembly for the Establishment and better regulation of Common Schools we find you the annexed list of the names of the children in the twelfth district of the? schools of Craven County.
