Coles' Ferry
Coles' Ferry was probably the granddaddy of all the Staunton River crossings. Located some eight miles downstream from Brookneal as the crow flies, but somewhat farther by winding road, the old ferry was for many years the main crossing on the north-south route through this area as far back as colonial days.

In bygone years Coles' Ferry was a place of some importance. Besides the ferry, there was a general store and an "ordinary," or tavern, a resting place for travelers and their horses. Also, it was a post office that served the area and was the official address of many of the famous old Charlotte County plantations such as "The Oaks," the Rice home; "Woodburn," the Edmunds home; "Ridgeway Plantation," the Kittridge home, and others. Charlotte County records show that John Coles had land grants on both sides of Staunton River as far back as 1740.

Two ancient stone mileposts stand beside a gully near the old McKendree churchyard in Halifax County, not far from Millstone church. The hand-carved inscription on one reads, "Right to Panels 22 Mls. Left to Meadsville 2 Mls." and on the other, "Left to Coles Ferry 17 Mls. Right to The Court House 8 Mls. 1828." The markers indicate that this almost forgotten place was once the main crossroads of Halifax County. The "Panels" referred to was the river crossing at Samuel Pannill's Green Hill plantation near Long Island.

Walter married Lettice Priscilla Carrington. Lettice (daughter of Paul Carrington and Priscilla Simms) was born 31 Aug 1798, Mulberry Hill, Charlotte Co., Colonial Virginia; died 7 Aug 1875, Java, Pittsylvania Co., Virginia. [Group Sheet]
