If that is the case, I haven't found anything of that nature.

Here is the website from which Chuck took his information --- http://www.civilwarhome.com/sumterownership.htm -- notice the other references posted by Mr. Huddleston that would prove ownership by the Federal government. If we could locate these, it would might prove or disprove the Feds case.

I'll be out the rest of the day. I'll try to locate more sources and info tonight.
