Never mind!! I found it and bought it.
Jessy,
Thanks for buying the book. If you haven’t already, search the archives at Slate River Ramblings for posts about Humanity Hall.

Where can I buy this? I think my grandmother was born in Humanity Hall in the 20s
I am interested in the history of Buckingham Springs. My grandmother was born there. Her maiden name was Beryl Morris. I would love to know more. I remember visiting when she still owned the farm. Is there a book I can purchase? Please contact me.
Thanks so much. Parke Morris Baskerville (married name is Covarrubias)

Hi Parke, My husband and I kept cattle at Buckingham Springs farm a few years back and we discovered a Morris family grave yard. I am sure if you are in the area the homeowners would be happy to have you visit.
Denise,
