Thanks for this clarification. What we call history often comes from the memories of old men, which may be different from the truth.I'm not at all sure we have hard evidence that all these brothers fought in the Revolution, for example.
Someone has written me that he has seen the original of this manuscript in the Caroliniana Library in Columbia, SC.I have not seen it.As I originally posted, I have a typewritten copy that was among my grandfather's papers. It should be taken for what it is--the (very important) memory of an old man.
