DUNCAN, Clergyman, St. James Church, Alexandria AT ALL SOUL'S CHAPEL ON CHASELAND PLANTATION These entries were scattered in several groups, so I brought them together into one file. H.T., Jr. All entries (for those baptized) were noted with a (c), designating these people were of the Colored race. The only other persons indicated with a (c), are some of the Sponsors. The Parents have only names, but it may still be assumed that the Parents are of the Black or Mixed-Blood race. If a surname is lacking, then there was none in the record. All persons baptized, were born on Chaseland Plantation, unless otherwise noted. NOTE: Those entries 1886-Apr 1892 did not show birthplace or Sponsors.
