This cheap?

Many of my ancesters are buried in Beaufort, NC (pronounced Bofort for those from Rio Linda). My great-uncle, Rev. A.C.D. Noe*, did a lot of genealogical work, when researching the oldest Epis. Church in NC, of which he was Rector, and responsible for its rebuilding.

In our family tree are numerous Episcopal Priests, and one Edward Teach, otherwise known as "BlackBeard", the infamous pirate. He was "married" to a distant cousin (they had a child, so I'm sure they had the church's blessing :>). I guess there is a balance in there somewhere! (I'm still not sure which side I followed, but I keep my sword sharp, and cannons loaded!)

*On a visit from Uncle Alec (age 92+/- at the time), in 197?, we were woken in the middle of the night, by a loud thump from his bedroom, then some grumbling. The next morning, when he came to breakfast, he said "I've slept in beds all my life, but that's the first one that threw me". He was 97, when he passed, and his wife, Aunt Betsy, made it to 104!
