The record of Pleasant Bailey Oglesby is taken out of a hand-made book, made by him. It is written in long hand, bound in calf skin. All of his examples and lessons are in it. He used this one book, in teaching school, when he sat down to teach for nine months, on February 21, 1785, on Morris Creek, Virginia.[I could only locate a Morrisville in Culpeper Co., VA.]
