As far as my mothers side we came from Scotland Mclouds originally before the revolutionary war and they fought against the British.Later on branching out in the civil war 2 of my great great grandads inlisted in the 19th va infantry one was wounded at seven pines the other cold harbor.Both were present July 3 1863 under Garnetts brigade in Pickett’s charge both made it back some how.Another great great grand dad was a slave owner fairly large estate folks called him “land lord clements” he eventually got drafted to Petersburg in the final days there not on the yankee side.My fathers side came from France the only thing I’ve been told is they were great lovers what ever the hell that means and my great great granddad on that side served in the Lynchburg home gaurd killed some Yankees there in 1864.
