Some of mine fought with Francis “Swamp Fox” Marion. My grandmother named my father Francis out of respect for him. I live in the part of SC the Swamp Fox roamed. To this day no one knows where his famous lair / hideout was. There has always been speculation it was somewhere along the Great Pee Dee river between Marion and Marlboro counties. The fact it remains hidden is a testament to his men's ability to keep a secret and leave no trace behind- true stealth warriors.

I have researched that location and if you look at it on Good=gle Maps, there is no way to trace where the location was in the swamp.No markers, no sign posts ar land marks,it is fundamentally obscure.

I find Francis Marion fascinating.Some say his ancestray was from Ireland. But it may be French.He is one of the genuine heros of America who is not lauded enough IMHO.
