See webpage: http://www.sc.edu/library/socar/uscs/1998/colema98.html. The following extract is from the webpage: / "Some discord in the Feaster family is implied in a memorandum of 5 July 1850 of "A. Feaster's Expences building Brick hous for son John CC Feaster & intended to be a hous Jointly for him JCC Feaster & his brother EH Feaster but they not agreeing I feel it my duty to make this statement to show that I have paid for said building...which JCCF must pay with Interest if he holds the house & one hundred acres of land...." This home, "Clanmore" (p. 290-293 in J.S. Bolick. 1963,2000. A Fairfield Sketchbook) was a refuge for many family members during the Civil War. When Union soldiers tried to burn it, JCC Feaster's niece "Lula" Feaster put out the fire. The burned spot still can be seen. JCC Feaster sold the house to the Faucette family in 1867-8. |
