On this Page;
 
I am recording stories, events, and tales
handed down thru the generations.
*********
Maybe they're true History, Maybe A Mystery,
Maybe Fact Or Just Maybe Fiction.
***********
Some are quite Humorous,
Some Sad, Some Very Interesting,
And
Some Unbelievable

note; I personally think what Charity
Did was very Humorous.
But it is True!
**********
Miss Charity Ann Horton
(My Great-Great Grandmother, My father's side)
Charity, Although single, was the owner of
A Plantation in South Carolina...
During the 'Cival-War'
Union General Sherman, while passing thru
South Carolina, with his troops
Just happened to take a rest at
Miss Charity's Plantation.
 
Charity just kept on doing her chores,
She was Flooring her meat
in a 'Smoke-House'
 
General Sherman, along with his troops
Demanded Charity to give them her
meat...
Charity, stopped long enough to look up
at General Sherman, and
Seriously say,.....
" Go ahead, and Take it all... It's all poision, anyway."
 
General Sherman and his Union Troops
Decided to move on......
Needless to say,
They left the meat behind.

There was not time to do it all
And although the number of pages is small
I promise that soon they'll all be done
Bit by bit, and one by one.
Your life's story will all be told
Within the pages this website hold
And when it's finished ,each page you see
Will have been made, With Love from Me.
