PO Box 814, Center Street
Chatham, Virginia 24531
Hours: 9A.M. to 8 P.M. Monday through Thursday and 9 P.M. to 5 P.M. on Friday plus 10 A.M. through 12 Noon on Saturday.
The library has the histories of a number of local families on file. Some are circulating and some are not. Those that are non-circulating require personal or hired research since the library has no staff available at any time to reproduce these documents for patrons. In other words, unless one comes to the library and performs the search, it will be necessary to hire a genealogist or private researcher. The following family records are stored in acid free boxes and are non-circulating. For the most part, they are in typed manuscript form and range in size from twenty to 150 pages. Included are those from the following families: William Lewis, George William Henson, The Dalton Genealogy, Whitehead, Tredway, Watson, Hunt, Edward Tatum, Robertson and related families, Yates, Drewry and Whittle.
The following are hard cover bound books of varying sizes. Some are circulating and some are not since they are listed as reference books. They include the names of the following families: Hamblen, Wingfield, Nelson, Hubbard, Sours, Keesee, Cabell, Rives and Shelton.
