<<Didn't Tillie Pierce have some rather uncomplimentary things to say about
the Wade family?  Or am I confusing her with somebody else?

I seem to recall her commenting on the fact the family were southern
sympathizers, and that it was no cooincidence that Jenny (or Ginny) was
short for "Virginia", and that her sister was named Georgia.>>

Not unlikely, since reportedly there were many "Copperheads" in Gettysburg.
The AoP Provost Marshal claimed he had trouble finding residents who would
cooperate with the army after the battle.
