• Notes

  She was a true patriot, a courier for the Reverend War, an investor in the Confederacy,a plantation CEO. Her decendants are scattered from MD to Texas. She died 92 yrs 3 mos 20 days. She was a large, tall woman, erect, and a commanding figure. She carried herself uprightly, even when aged. She did everything methodically and nothing by halves. She arose a four o'clock and retired at 8'clock, summer and winter. She carried dispatches from General Francis Marion in South Carolina to General Nathaniel Green in NC. She was the flower girl to welcome LaFayette to Camden. She died 36 years after the death of her husband, Robert. Today the Dickey and McFaddin names are extinct.
