Jesse Cannon sounds like an outlaw, lol!At first I misread Abednigo Downing as "Abednigo Drowning" and I thought, "Well, that's a new take on the Bible story...!"I like Ada Florence, and Damaris Miranda (though I think Sarah was a bit superfluous).

I love South Carolina. Alexander Garden and Amelia Garden are nice but interesting. Was it a popular middle game or are they related? Josephine Maria is super pretty. Sara/Sarah is getting old. Charlotte and Caroline I love. Lucy is pretty. Lucy Pride is awesome.
