Jessi Bennett expands on the blog entry for Woo Sing family in Richmond, Virginia in her article “One of the Most Unique Papers”: Documenting Chinese American Citizenship in Virginia, published in The Uncommon Wealth, Voices from the Library of Virginia, on 28 May 2025.

Charles William Sing was the first Chinese baby born in Richmond in 1895. Bennett’s in-depth research and well-sourced article shows how the Chinese Exclusion Act with its renewals and amendments affected a young American-born man with Chinese parents and all Chinese living in the United States during the Exclusion period.
