On this episode of Georgia Stories; according to Georgia historian Melanie Pavich-Lindsay, the Butler family came to Georgia from South Carolina and eventually amassed plantations and hundreds of slaves on St. Simons Island. Fanny Kemble was very troubled by slavery and wrote of her Georgia experiences in her diary, Journal of a Residence on a Georgia Plantation in 1838-1839. It became quite famous in Great Britain and northern states for its antislavery message.

So sad, it had to be heartbreaking for her not to be able to intervene on their behalves.

The house is near Darien, GA & is still standing & fascinating yet haunting to see. I go often.

Fannie Kemble settled in Lenox MA, in the same town where her friend, Catherine Sedgwick, lived. She is buried there in the graveyard of the church on the hill. In Berkshire County, no where near Boston.

I am a descendant of Pierce Butler.. And I'm doing research for a future book I'm planning on writing.. I will most definitely add this, that his wife was against slavery.. As a descendant, I feel it's my duty to somehow right this wrong, as my ancestors were very much involved.

You can never ever right this wrong. No one can.
