"History of the Sheriff's Department"
Granville County Sheriff Brindell B. Wilkins, Jr. will present the program for the September 1, 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.
