Hello,
I was wondering if you could please do a look up in your NC Emancipation records for Calvin Yarboro or Yarborough. I'm fairly sure he was born in 1839, although I've also seen it as 1842. He lived in Louisburg (Franklin Co.) and married Priscilla.
I don't know anything about him prior to the birth of his first son, Louis, in 1863.
On one census, he lists his birthplace as TN, but on everything else is says NC. I'm guessing that maybe he was born one of the parts of NC that used to be TN??
Thanks!
