day 2

Well- there's no prompt for today on a Saturday. The farmers market this morning was busy- lots of vendors, lots of food- lots of visitors. The historical society came and brought lots of agricultural tools and old timey things. I had some good conversations with Country Hawkins and Mann Batson- both local history experts. Lots of good confirmation about information I already had. I did learn that until the 1850's there were mandatory militias, which would have led to Henry Lynch being called Major or Colonel. I still can't find a connection with Charleston. But, we'll keep working on that. If you have no idea what I am talking about, it's all in the historical fiction book I might write some day. Until then- I'm off to do some research!
