H. E. Jackson's dream is finally
coming true, not exactly as he
dreamed it. but. what one ever
does!
The Amelia Board Of Supervisors
put their approval on the plans,
and signed the contract for a build
ing to house the jefferson Histori-
cal Collection consisting Of histori
cal and genealogical records of
pioneer settlers OF Amelia county
and six offices for county depart
mentS.
Safekeeping Of Relics
Jackson, a native of the county,
who lives at Jetersville. has for
many years been interested in his
tory and genealogy Knowing that
with time old landmarks disappear
and knowledge of forebears is de-
stroyed or forgotten, he approached
Judge j. Garland Jefferson, Of
Amelia, about possible place for
the safekeeping of relics and papers
which might be put together
The judge authorized use Of a
shelf in the county clerks office for
this purpose on June 9, 1853. The
name Jefferson Historical Collec-
ton" was given in honor OF Judge
Jeffersons family
A committee was then named by
the judge to act on admissions and
filing Of the data. Those designated
were Mrs Francis Wright. Mrs. H.
c. Rucker. Judge Valentine South
all, Harold D. Hammer. Mrs. T. l..
Warmer. Mrs William Jefferson,
H. E. Jackson. Mrs. James L. Ham
ner, Mrs Stephen o. SouthaH, and
John B. Mason.
Outgrows Shelf
Jackson soon decided that the. one
shelf would not be adequate and
went about seeing what could be
done about it, He had a bachelor
cousin, living in Griffin. Ga. who
was interested in Virginia history.
Maybe ne would help.
