More about Uncle George W. Seaman, Lt. CSA

    In my pursuit of my second great Uncle's history, I made a friend of the Vanceburg, Kentucky historian, Dr. William Talley who was, at that time, teaching at McGill University in Canada. I had access to records at my nearby Family History Center and could assist him long distance when he wrote an article for the Lewis County, Kentucky newspaper, Lee County Bulletin.

    Grandmother had told us about a story that George had come home once and hid some important papers in the dress of a baby who was visiting, too. Why? In case his brother David came in, find them, and arrest him. She thought that Uncle David kept away when George was in town.   

    Who was the baby? Why was it there?

   Furthermore, How much was family lore, and how much could be substantiated?
