👏👏👏 An excellent September reading list and best of luck to you in Tennessee sir! It is a great state, one of the best in the union I think! I agree, that book cover for William Byrd II’s biography is horrific! This is a biography of a Virginia politician, not Stephen King’s It!

None of them were gotten into in particular depth. I’m gonna have to do a lot of research and try and untangle it and figure out if there are other sources on those families specifically. Generally, though, it was that they were able to get back to focusing on business far more quickly after political upheaval, And maintain family traditions around doing that
So the ones who had kids who could manage to deal with bringing tenants onto the farm after the war, or something along those lines, did far better than the one who fell into a depression or sold the land off to try and do something else, or whatever else it was
One reason, the Carter family still in Shirley plantation, for example, is that they were always very good about doing this and we’re known for being one of them more business like families in the Tidewater
