Dr. Robinson-Grigsby: I am Rev Charles B. Alston, Sr. My family is from Warren County,NC. James and Sallie Alston were my paternal grandparents. My father was named John Earl and my mother Willie Beatrice. They moved to PA where we were raised. I remember names such as Louisa, Thomas, Lula(sister of maternal grandmother Mary), Daisy (called "Baby Doll") by my mom. Most of the names mentioned in these blogs are very familiar as well as the places. There are so many of us that I have to check with my family who still live there to try to keep up. Our family church there is Greenwood Baptist, where my parents are buried. I am awaiting info from my niece who traced our family back to slavery. Stay in touch please. By the way...I am a church musician as well.
