While the A. M. E. connection in Virginia is nor numerically as strong as it is in some of the other Southern State, still the church has cause to be proud of the character of her leadership as represented by the ministry on the principal circuits and stations. Among these ministers is the Rev. Alfred Jairus Nottingham, D.D., pastor of the Trinity Station at Berkley-Norfolk.
Dr. Nottingham is a native of the Eastern Shore, having been born at the old town of Eastville in Northampton County on August 18, 1868. His father was Jay Nottingham, who was a son of Southy and Sarah (Bailey) Nottingham. Dr. Nottingham's mother, who before her marriage was Miss Caroline Winder, still survives (1920) and is a daughter of Joseph and Edith Winder.
Dr. Nottingham has been married twice. His first marriage was on Sept. 6, 1893, to Miss Mattie J. C. Robins, a daughter of John and Timmie Robins, of Eastville, Va. Of the three children whom she bore him, only one, Celestine, survives. She is now Mrs. Traynham. Mrs. Nottingham passed away on September 4, 1915. Dr. Nottingham was married to Mrs. S. Blanche Poole, of Philadelphia, Dec. 5, 1917.
Young Nottingham grew up on the farm where he inherited and cultivated those sturdy qualities which made for a vigorous manhood. He first attended the local public schools, after which he entered the celebrated Hampton Institue where he remained for three years. He became active in the work of the church at an early age, having been converted when about fifteen.
Upon completion of the work at Hampton he taught in Nansemond County for one year, beginning in 1888. Later he taught in his native county of Northampton for several years. After reaching mature manhood, he felt called to the ministry and was licensed to preach in 1895.
The following year he joined the Conference under the late Bishop
W. J. Gaines. Since that time he has devoted practically his whole time to the work of the ministry, having filled the following appointments: Norfolk County three years, Oceana two years, and St. James, Berkley, five years. At each of these places he built a parsonage. He served Richmond Station two years, Roanoke three years, Hampton five years, Franktown three years, and John Brown Memorial Station, at Norfolk, two years. He went to his present work in 1921.
He is a prominent figure at the Annual Conferences and has for eight years served the Virginia Conference in official capacities
as either Recording Secretary or Chief Secretary, and is now Treasurer of the Conference. In May, 1921, he was elected Pres. of the Norfolk Preachers' Conference.
When a younger man, he was more or less active in politics, but now gives very little attention to such affairs. Among the secret orders Rev. Nottingham belongs to the Masons and Odd Fellows. He has attended the last three General Conferences of his denomination.
Dr. Nottingham is a fluent speaker, a careful pastor, and a capable executive. He knows how to organize his work and how to get results out of his congregations. He invariably comes up to Conference with a splendid report. He is affable and cordial and has the appearance of being considerably younger than his years. During the war he participated effectively in all the campaigns and drives as they proceeded.
