No, seriously, before my revered ancestors settled in The Republic of Texas, they came from Georgia. Of course, a generation or three before that, they came to Georgia from North Carolina, so I'm not part of the "criminal" element of Oglethorpe's original colony: we was just passin' through (quickly, with our hands on our wallets at all times).

(Even my reference to "The Republic" is self-serving anachronism; all my known ACW ancestors were in Georgia, and fought in Georgian regiments, one multi-great-grandpappy in three different regiments under three different names, because he kept getting tired of getting shot at and went home for six or eight months before getting the guilts and re-enlisting. It was the immediately post-Civil War generation that up and moved to Texas.)
Besides that, I love peaches.
