Additional commentary.
1. Spocott
My mother & grandmother lived at Spocott a short time in the early 1900s. My Great Grandmother's name was Nellie Henry Radcliffe. I went on a tour of Spocott when I was about 13, I believe. It is still in the Radcliffe family. I'd be intrested in any information about the Plantiations early days.
Thanks Bob Dunn
