I have been told my entire life that I am a decindent of General Wade Hampton III. A General in the Civil War (can war actually be civil???). So for H, I would like to introduce you to my Great-Great-Great (I don't how many) Grandfather.

Cute little sayings they have for war...civil...Bah! You're kinda famous though. :)
ReplyDeleteWow Laura you are fast. I just hit post and there you were. I agree.
ReplyDeleteWhat great portraits!!!
ReplyDeleteThis was so interesting. Love the portraits.Will be following you to see what else you have to say.
ReplyDeleteMy maternal great grandmother was a Hampton. She lived in Montreal, so I'm almost 100% sure we're not of the Civil War Hampton family. I do love genealogy!!
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear something new with each post :) Thanks for the pics and the Civil war info..
ReplyDeleteFollowing you from A-Z Challenge!
Hi Betty it is amazing what you can find on the internet. I found a picture of my great-grandfather and sent it to my uncle. He didn't have any picture of him. They were lost.
ReplyDeleteHi Jeanne and Ju, Welcome I hope I can keep you entertained with my crazy ideas and life.
Hi Toll House Cookie, you never know. The Hamptons were a traveling adventurous bunch.
I love the treasures you find in researching your relatives. Cool stuff!

That's kind of cool to be related to someone on Wikipedia - even if they were not very "civil" :)
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you through the A-Z challenge! Hope to see you around!
ReplyDeleteRight up there with 'military intelligence'. Congrats on finding a famous relative - and with a Wikipedia picture.
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah I also found out a Great Great Great Grandfather was a hero in the Battle of San Jacinto that won Texas it independence,and my great grandmother was a full blood Cherekee Indian, and lot of other stuff. Now I wish I would have listen closer to the stories all my older relatives use to tell.
ReplyDeleteHi Rhonda, I knew the old General had arrived when one day he arrived on wiki.
Hi Bz, Welcome to my part of the world.
Hi Stephanie, I have been looking for a picture for ever for him and another relative now I found both of them its great.
