Hi, I may be telling you something that you already know, but your great grandfather, Foster Marshall Clinkscales, was probably named after an attorney from Abbeville SC, Jehu Foster Marshall, who was a veteran of the Mexican War 1846-48, and was the Commanding Officer of a famous Civil War regiment known as Orr's (1st) Rifles. Colonel Marshall was killed at the Second Bull Run. He was greatly admired in SC upstate.
