You got that right Mike. You can pick your friends but you can't pick your relatives....and notorious would be mild for those boys. But don't feel too bad, my ancestor was third in command of those lads and was in fact in command when Burnside's faked them and the 62nd NC Infantry and others into surrendering at the Cumberland Gap. "C'est La Vie say the old folks, it goes to show, you never can tell." Thought a good Huguenot like you would like that.
