there is some stuff in the movie that is derogatory to Gen Marion and not true. be sure and read this from the Claremont Institute. My gfs - McCANTS - STANDARD - HODGES - GOTEA (Gottier-Gauthier) fought with Marion along with most all of their brothers and cousins (there were a lot of them, very large families). By the time it was over their homes and lands were destroyed and they had to come from scratch again. My gf Lt. Nathaniel McCants was at the fall of Charleston and imprisoned by the British. My gf John Hodges gathered up all the Hodges kin in NC & the Old Cheraw Dist of SC where he lived enlisted them in the SC Reg and went to Sullivan's Island. The Goteas lived on Black Mingo Creek in the Pee Dee and all their kin McCONNEL's, NESMITHS, BARR, BROWN, etc were active in the swamps. While the Battle of McCants Avenue was waged in Jacksonboro (Walterboro-Colleton Co.) and included a 12 year old cousin. josie love, mama >From: precepts@claremont.org >To: jbass@digital.net >Subject: Claremont Institute Precepts: Movie Critics Swamp the Swamp Fox >Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 10:51:21 -0700 >X-Mailer: Allaire ColdFusion Application Server > > >The Claremont Institute--PRECEPTS| | June 28, 2000 >Visit <http://www.claremont.org>| | No. 231 > >Movie Critics Swamp the Swamp Fox >By Thomas L.

Read this and you will be really grateful it is the year 2000 and not 1500! Did you ever wonder where these verbal expression came from? I'm sorry I found out! I enjoyed them more before 'knowledge' set in. Life in the 1500s: Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May and were still smelling pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the b.o. Baths equaled a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually loose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water." Houses had thatched roofs. Thick straw, piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the pets ... dogs, cats and other small animals, mice, rats, bugs lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof. Hence the saying, "It's raining cats and dogs." There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could really mess up your nice clean bed. So, they found if they made beds with big posts and hung a sheet over the top, it addressed that problem. Hence those beautiful big 4 poster beds with canopies. The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt, hence the saying "dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors which would get slippery in the winter when wet. So they spread thresh on the floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they kept adding more thresh until when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed at the entry way, hence a "thresh hold." They cooked in the kitchen in a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They mostly ate vegetables and didn't get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes the stew had food in it that had been in there for a month. Hence the rhyme: peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old. Sometimes they could obtain pork and would feel really special when that happened. When company came over, they would bring out some bacon and hang it to show it off. It was a sign of wealth and that a man "could really bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and "chew the fat." Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with a high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food. This happened most often with tomatoes, so they stopped eating tomatoes ... for 400 years. Most people didn't have pewter plates, but had trenchers- a piece of wood with the middle scooped out like a bowl. Trencher were never washed and a lot of times worms got into the wood. After eating off wormy trenchers, they would get "trench mouth." Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the "upper crust." Lead cups were used to drink ale or whiskey. The combination would sometimes knock them out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a "wake." England is old and small and they started running out of places to bury people. So, they would dig up coffins and would take their bones to a house and reuse the grave. In reopening these coffins, one out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they thought they would tie a string on their wrist and lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night to listen for the bell. Hence on the "graveyard shift" they would know that someone was "saved by the bell" or he was a "dead ringer."

I'm looking for any information about Susannah Harrison who married Josiah Marshall in 1858. The 1870 census shows her at age 29 with her husband Josiah and four children living in Obion Co., TN. In 1880 she is still with the family in Obion Co., but in 1900 Josiah was single and living in Mississippi Co., MO. Various records refer to her as Susan A., Susanna, and Susannah J. Harrison. She died about 1894, presumably in Obion Co., TN, because her husband was still there at that time, although he moved within a year or two to Missouri. Family records tell that Josiah and Susannah were married in New Madrid, MO, accross the river from Obion Co., although we cannot find a record of the marriage there. Nor can we find a marriage record in Mississippi Co.,MO, or Obion Co., TN. Historians in those places tell me it was very common to cross the river to be married in those days. I would be grateful for any clue to this Harrison family. Charles crspotts@tcsn.net

I am asking list members if they have information regarding my great-great-grandmother Lucy Harrison (b. 5/22/1834, d. 12/6/1908). She married William Sapp (b. 5/22/1837, d. 10/14/1874). The place and date of their marriage is unknown to me. Their son, Joseph L. Sapp (b. 6/1/1865, d. 5/8/1939) married Lydia Malone (b. 1/27/1865, d. 12/2/1920). Again, the date and place of their marriage is unknown to me. If you have any information regarding any of these individuals, please contact me. Thanks, Larry Jones, M.D. LDEAA@aol.com
