My dad's side the most interesting thing would be:
http://south-carolina-plantations.com/ha...l-war.html
We went there once when I was a kid and they had copies of the same pictures my grandfather had in an old dank photo album hanging on the wall. The old lady who owned the place operated like a museum and told us Descendants were always welcome here and could make arrangements to stay for free. (just found out that she died and it has since been sold to another family.)
My grand father's Grand father was one of the two brother's mentioned. I can't remember which one. My dad said he was the oldest survivor, and gave his civil war sword to the oldest of the next generation on down through my g-pa to my dad and on to me.
(my dad really crapped it up as a boy/Its beat up pretty bad) but I still have it. I was thinking about donating it to house/estate, but I think the people who own it now just live there and run a B&B.
