I finally got around to reading this....it was a busy weekend to say the least! Rain has passed us by...for now. Good work on the 2nd Miss.! I can see they were in the thick of things! I fooled around with finda-grave....highly usefull. I plan on using it to research my family history as far back as i can, both here and ''over there.'' Your post on Liberty was great...the headstones and the red clay.
''... I believe that the maintenance of the rights and authority reserved to the states and to the people...are a safeguard to the continuance of a free government...whereas the consolidation of the states into one vast Republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded it.''- Gen. Robert E. Lee
