If the son is descended from a prestigious family he is now closer in breed to the Benjy Compsons of the world than to his ill-fated, illustrious ancestors), but I love the weird or ugly ones like Burgwyn, Chambliss, and Quantrail. Those are good handles.
What's the Indian connection to Lunsford? Looks English at first glance. So is it actually true that a significant number of the population down there is descended from the Indians in some way or another? The Creek War is interesting, I like the romance of the Indians holding out against the encroaching colonizers. Tecumseh sounds like quite the character.
What did Wilcox do to get a county named after him? Tomahawked and scalped. What a way to go. Sounds like the Indians had a rough go at it, too, with the Spanish razing the place.
