probably a few ministers sons or lawyers sons, here or there; sons of
college professors, like St. George Tucker's sons but St. George himself
owned almost enough slaves to be a planer. (at least 20 slaves) and he
might have owned more than that.

In a discussion about "The Education of Henry Adams", someone remarked
that
the colleges in the south were exclusively for the plantation class. Can
someone provide examples of southern non-planter sons who attended
college
prior to the Civil War?
Thanks a bunch!
