Jamestown’s 19th Century Schools and Mendenhall Heritage
Jamestown in 1807 served as Guilford County voting place and hosted several early medical and law schools including Coffin Robbins and Lindsay schools. The Mendenhall family influenced local growth, with Cornwallis legend and a manumission boat named Sally Ann tied to the town’s abolition-linked history.
