I am a genealogist and am looking at my 4th great grandfather born in Rowan Co,NC 1797. He signed documents with an X and I am wondering at what age children had a school to go to, not higher education but any education at all?

Comment response:

Thank you for taking the time to post your question to NCpedia. I have forwarded it to Reference Services at the Government & Heritage Library. Their contact information may be found at http://statelibrary.ncdcr.gov/reference/reference.html.

Someone should be in touch with you soon about your inquiry.

Good luck in your research!
