If I had a choice of someone with whom to share Thanksgiving dinner, it would be my great great grandmother, Caroline Bell Richardson. Her husband, William Richardson, was an overseer on the famous Patterson Plantation in SC which the Yankees burned during the Civil War. This little lady taught the slaves to read and write, and none of them left the plantation until after the destruction of the same. I would love to ask her what her maiden name was, and that would complete the genealogy for a long time. When I rec'd. the funeral plans for her from Elliott Funeral Home in Augusta, GA, her maiden name was written so poorly that we still don't know if it were Fann, Farris, or whatever. Two of my sisters and I had a marker placed on her unmarked 1908 grave, and that has been one of the happiest moments of my life. If any of you know anything about descendants of this family, it would be most appreciated for me to learn about it. Thank you. Lurlyne R. Wagner
