Name/Title
Sale of land for church (1885)Description
On 29 January 1885, Henry and his wife Susan sold seven-eighths of an acre from their land to a group of trustees, Henry Brevard himself, Augustus Derr, and Adolphus Dellinger, identified explicitly as trustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church. This transaction established the land on which Brevard Chapel would stand, permanently linking Henry’s name to one of the region’s oldest African American religious institutions.
