Ancestor, yes. Not that unusual if you're from Charleston, to be related to famous ancestors.

You are absolutely correct. And I would like to remind our northern friends here, that the LARGEST slave market in the US was located in BRISTOL, RHODE ISLAND. And was run by the de Wolfe family. I know, because I am related to the de Wolfes many generations ago. Every American benefits now from the sad history of slavery - whether or not your ancestors were directly involved in slave trade, owned plantations, etc. Many, many families from the north married into southern plantation families. And many northerners "owned" indentured servants and the like too. Let's agree that it wasn't the height of human behavior. But many peoples throughout history have unfortunately enslaved others. It is going on right now in N Korea.

I'm dumping cable altogether. I just bought a GIGANTIC Winegard 8200u rooftop antenna (don't care what my neighbors think - I think it is funny). Dumping pay-for-tv. I can get 30 channels here in Charlotte and from surrounding areas. Then, I can get a lot of programming off the net too. I will save 6 grand over 5 years...that's a lot of money for TV service. Just food for thought.
