You really make me laugh NaNa, Trk5capt says it was plate that was nailed to the houses in Charleston that proved that Taxes were paid. I'll let him elaborate on that for you, Art...

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Nana? These metal plates have the city seal of Charleston on them, very much like the slave tags. They were posted on the plantation to show that the taxes had been paid. Hope this is helpful NANA. trk5capt...

art or trk5capt, have either one of you heard of an old brass Mexican cannon called Old Sacremento? one of my ancestors was the commander of that cannon, and i heard that after the war, it ended up somewhere along the  shore on a peir in sc. my relatives name is Hiram Bledsoe. i'd like to know if there was any peice of information around on him other than what missouri historians have dug up.  nice finds by the way. must've taken awhile to get all those peices.
