This is where Margaret's parents lived. 1835 Dabney moved from Prince Edward County south to Halifax County to establish himself as a builder. In 1838 he built the Halifax (Houston) Courthouse (probably with help from his father-Dabney Sr.), Circa 1844 he built his home "Woodside" on Mountain Road in Halifax Co. Several of Dabney and Margaret's children were born at "Woodside". He also built Saint Johns Episcopal Church on Mountain Road. Dabney, his wife, and 7 of their 11 children are buried in this church's cemetery. Another of his buildings is the Brooklyn Tobacco Factory in Halifax Co. This building was purchased in 1994 by Ginger George Gentry. She & her husband Mack Gentry restored the long abandoned building and opened it on tour for the first time in 2002. Ginger became interested in the family history of Dabney Jr. and compiled this information on him and his family. After Dabney Sr. died, Dabney Jr. was then called Dabney Sr.-this was cause for some confusion. One instance, was the Civil War Battle of Staunton River Bridge. In a book, it states that Dabney Cosby Sr. was one of the civilians at this battle in June 1864. Knowing this could not be the father, as he died in 1862 at the age of 84 in Raleigh, NC, Ginger located the grave of Dabney Jr. and his headstone reads; Dabney Cosby Sr. Another Daughter: Cornelia Caroline Cosby (Find A Grave number 8329440) Cornelia C. Nelson)
