John Chavis :''This article is for the black educator. For the football coach of the same name, see John Chavis (American football).'' John Chavis (c. 1763-June 15, 1838〔(Marker H-13: John Chavis )〕) was a free black educator and Presbyterian minister in the American South during the early 19th century. Born in Virginia, he fought for the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. He studied with John Witherspoon at the College of New Jersey and finished his studies at Liberty Hall Academy in Virginia, where he was ordained as a minister. Later while working in Raleigh, North Carolina, he established a private school that was highly regarded and attended by both white and black students (although on differing schedules.) ==Early life== The exact date of Chavis' birth is not known. It is believed that he was born in either 1762 or 1763 in Virginia. One source claims he was born on October 18, 1763, but with no evidence given.〔(John Tavis, Teacher of both races )〕 Information about Chavis's early life is scant as well, with few records to document it. It is believed that he may have been the 'John Chavis' who was employed as an indentured servant by a Halifax, Virginia lawyer named James Milner. A 1773 inventory of Milner's estate does list an "indentured servant named John Chavis." Since Milner possessed a large library, it is likely that Chavis received some schooling during his period of service.
