Thanks for the link and info. I have traced 3 ancestors who were in the Confederate Army of Tennessee but all stuck around after the war. One of my original ancestors came to middle Tennessee from North Carolina, like many other folks, to claim his land given to him in lieu of pay to any Revolutionary soldiers who promised to fight to the end. In general, if there is a fight, there probably will always be lots of Tennesseans and Texans right in the middle. It's just in our blood to oppose repressive governments.

On the Ray side of our family, over the years they made their way from NC to TN to the Indian Territory (OK) and finally heaven TX. ;-)

And amen to hating governments that take our freeedoms in any form.
