Wow! Your poor great-great-grandma! What a grim legacy.

My great-great grandfather died at Andersonville. That led to the State of New 
Jersey giving her 30 days to put their farm in the hands of a man, as women 
could not own property in their own right.  She married the handyman, who 
promptly sold the farm *in Passaic/Clifton NJ) because it was gaining value, and 
he believed God's will precluded getting rich in any manner other than the sweat 
of his brow.

So he sold it for almost nothing and moved the family to Western Michigan so 
they could be poor farmers without the chance of incurring God's wrath.

Cheers,
Jim
