re: What's the closest you or a family member has been to a part of history?

My 5th great grandfather was James Calhoun and his brother was....John C Calhoun. So I guess you could say my family was close to history since Calhoun was involved in so many things from 1812-1850. My dad had a bunch of Calhoun family papers and he gave them to Clemson or the group that runs Calhoun's Fort Hill home in Clemson.
