The child/lady on the right is doing Cartman's idea of what is required on a Christian Rock album cover as evidenced by Tolkien.

No, her true name was Nancy Elizabeth.

Here she is with her father, Frank.. My G.G. Grandfather and he was in the 10th Arkansas Calvary in the Civil War.

Aunt Rosie... She had a bad eye, and of course as a young girl she was self conscious about it.

Dang.. says one of your great uncles, James, was killed by Confederate bandits on Mt Pisgah. That’s a fascinating story in of itself.
Was he home-guard or in a NC Union loyal mounted regt?
Cool family

Now how did you know that?

It was 2nd NC. Mounted Infantry... Yes, he was killed by confederates as they were fighting for the Union... His father came to Mt Pisgah and they dug his body up and brought it back to the family Cemetery.

It's in a book I have somewhere and in a family tree I have written... Lots to the that... But as this one thread tells... I had family members on both sides in the Civil War.
