Other Sources:
African American National Biography, online April 2014, collected by HH Price. Gates, Henry Louis, Jr. and Higginbotham, Evelyn Brooks (Editors). Super comprehensive, but there isn't much about the era we're covering. Lorin will be in there soon!
Maine's Visible Black History (2006) by HH Price. Also pretty comprehensive and wonderfully illustrated. Talks about the Roberts and Foy(e) families, although the Reverend's parents are unknown.
