J. South,

While I realize you are throwing the garbage around the garage, I must 
correct you on your supposed names. Sally Hemings was not an imported slave, 
but Virginia born. Hiawatha was not a Virginia indian. A better name would 
include the names of the three slaves that Steve mentioned, and perhaps the 
name of the tribe that occupied that piece of land before Powhatan wiped 
them out thinking they were the prophesized "enemy from the east" that 
turned out instead to be Smith and company. Hiawatha?? Really!
