In his personal information, it stated his occupation as "Man of Pleasure". Does anyone know if this is a Typo? Is it supposed to say "Man of Leisure"? If not, does anyone know what this occupation was? > > > Curiosity may have killed the cat, but I just had to ask. > Keith Bailey > > > ==== CIVIL-WAR Mailing List ==== > To search our list archives since 1996, go to > http://searches2.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl > and enter Civil-War in the list name > >
