"History of the Sheriff's Department"
Granville County Sheriff Brindell B. Wilkins, Jr. will present the program for the June 2, 2016 meeting of the Society. He will discuss a history of the sheriff's department, and what we need to be aware of when we are looking for our ancestors, their homeplaces, or a cemetery in Granville County. We look forward to this interesting and informative presentation.

He has been working with the Granville County Sheriff's department for about 27 years. He served as the County Coroner when there was still one and later became a Deputy Sheriff. He was appointed Sheriff in 2009 when Sheriff David Smith retired. Brindell Wilkins won election to Sheriff in 2010.
