<<As far as the sisters' names are concerned, obviously they long predated
the
CW.  And to be fair, a considerable amount of Getysburg's commercial
contacts, such as carraige manufacturing, ran to the south, to southern
connections and even sympathies would be far from unheard of.>>

This is a good point, since, then as now, South Central Pennsylvania was
more oriented toward Baltimore than than it was Philadelphia or Pittsburg.
