Hi (((((((Aqua))))))))!

As you've probably heard me tell in the past, my great grandfather from Charleston was a Lieutenant in the Confederate Army.

No, I didn't know that. How interesting! I had a great great (great?) grandfather in the War of 1812, but no one that I can find in the Revolutionary War or the Civil War.

My other great great granfather at that time was a yankee who lived in Illinios, he disowned his daughter (my great grandmother) for marrying a Southerner in Missouri.

That's sad. I think that happened quite often during the "brother against brother" Civil War. But it makes me wonder how anyone could ever disown their own child.

Wonder what that makes me, a Disowned Daughter of the Confederacy? lol

LOL!! I guess so! ;-)

Don't know how you missed it, think I posted this link of my great grandfather with a picture of the monument he sculpted (the first) for the Confederacy on your South Carolina thread. Serpent Dove did a great job on this montage for me a few months back.
