"I am from the same branch of the family. My grandfather was William Carroll Fain, Sr, son of Edward Christenberry Fain.
According to R. Plennie Fain,"In the late 1850's Andrew was murdered by a doctor, who was drunk. The man was angry because his clothing was not ready. Andrew was a tailor, when I was small I recall seeing the long narrow heating iron that he used to press the cloth....When Andrew Jackson, Sr was murdered the children had to be placed among relatives. Edward C. was about 5 years old and grew up with his grandfather, Elisha Philips. When about 12 or 13 years old, Sherman's soldiers came through the countryside. They tried to make Grandmother Philips tell where her silver was hidden. When she refused they placed her fingers between the split-rail fence and broke them. She still did not tell. Then they poured molasses into a feather bed and rolled her in it. She never told. Edward was chased by a soldier on a horse into a corn field. The corn stalks had been put together like an Indian tepee. Grandfather, being small of statue, darted among them and hid in one. The soldier using a bayonet on the end of his gun tried to flush him out, but failed. I,with my Father and Uncle Jack, as a small child, was shown these places and spent one night on the place with them, the original house was gone, but the schooner wagon was there by a spring that had and still was used to provide water."
Edward's died June 2, 1870 and is buried at Campobello United Methodist Church in SC."
